Right, that's enough you boys.

Ant, you've been warned before. Next time is a red card for you my lad. And you Ivor.

Behave, both of you.

I'd pay good money to get within kicking distance of Parris :evil: .

How about Boris?

Does Dr Hutch do this sort of thing?

We investigated that option and concluded he was a bit pricey for a boring tester who no-one except all us other boring testers would have heard of. :lol:

I am sure if you ask me nicely I might be able to see if Bumbling Boris Johnson is available. Or Mark Cavendish, u know the grumpy young sprinter, i think u can do it via his agent (called FACE or something), CSC guy?? Brian Nygaard CSC Press Guy should know something.

Lance Armstrong :D for $50,000 bargain :D

I know it hasn't been decided about a ex pro yet but I would like to suggest Sean Yates if it is decided that it would be an ex-pro. I did one of his day rides with him on Tuesday as a 40th birthday present.

What a genuinely nice guy (fantastic day aswell). Has a real sense of history of the sport both TT and road racing. Had lots of funny insights and what really surprised me was that he had a real interest and knowledge in 50s and 60s TTing. I wore my Addiscombe top of course and he was aware of the history of the club with the long distance TT stars that we had.

And for those that are not racing orientated he does probably have some unique insights into Lance (steady Marco) especially when Lance was younger.

Graham Watson is in fact speaking at the Pedal Club monthly lunch do in November. I'll be going, and know him well. Might be late in the day (year), but I could sound him out; he could just recycle :wink: his speech there. And think what a show of photos we'd get! He is a busy and rather shy chap, so might not be keen on club do's. But he was a local, lived in West Wickham until moving to Kingston area.

I've known Graham for a long time - as you say, when he used to live in West Wickham, but not seen him for a while.
