    I'd rather go and listen to a Lee Johnson presentation on sports science.

    Do you pop a skewer through them first and add some seasoning?
    Bbq'd knackers are apparently best served with a button mushroom.

    According to recent YouGov survey of the most boring/exciting sports, 50% of the population find cycling boring which is not too different from football at 40%. The most boring sports to watch are golf, American football and cricket.

    I will be in Town for the roll out and then a dash back home to get my running gear on. I hope to time my run so I can be on the Cote De Blacker Hill for the King of the Mountains Prime. Back home then (2 miles) to have a quick shower and follow the rest of the stage on TV where I can watch the drama unfold. Once you understand what is going on it's a really exciting sport.

    It's a T.V. sport if its road racing. In the veladrome it's like watching an Athletic meet, great sport and very fit young men and woman, Ed Clancey Word and Olimpic champion from Barnsley.
