lost two kilos lance too wheels, thats a lot in racing terms since the giro, smart operator, and great recovery from that broken clavicle

Cadel will go close to winning the tour this year if only he can stay on his bike ......
and I fel he needs to be slightly more attacking on one or two of the legs rather than just his normal consistent self.
He should be strong enough to bust a stage open and win one this year !!!

gr8-expectations · « **Reply #52 on:** June 24, 2009, 12:23:32 AM »

yes agree smee, his 2nd place was an amazing achievement but as you say it would be great to see what he can really do as an attacking rider especially on the mountains with his background

*wheels* · « **Reply #53 on:** June 24, 2009, 12:24:27 AM »

Smee, Cadel will find it very difficult to win as he doesn't have a strong team to work with him through the mountains.

thanks wheels, so who is your pick for the tdf this year?

*wheels* · « **Reply #55 on:** June 24, 2009, 12:30:13 AM »

Now, that's putting me on the spot! Contador.

great rider wheels

gr8-expectations · « **Reply #57 on:** June 24, 2009, 12:31:57 AM »

I am going to bed and will love and leave you, lovely chatting guys and thanks for links again wheelsy

*smee* · « **Reply #58 on:** June 24, 2009, 12:33:54 AM »

Whels I agree that he doesnt have a strong team as support, mind you in my opinion his team didnt support him that well last year either. I think he needs to win the time trial this year and one other stage and he will be right amongst it

Centuries · « **Reply #59 on:** June 24, 2009, 12:39:23 AM »

It is such a pity Cadell doesn't have a stronger team. I really hoped he would do it last year, but not to be.

I really like the Tour de France. Is SBS showing it as usual? I read or heard something the other day about it.They mentioned live viewing but I missed finding out what was being said.

*smee* · « **Reply #60 on:** June 24, 2009, 12:41:53 AM »

As far as I understand it will be sbs again

now is Lleyton going to "come on" tonight and will Samantha and miss Docik produce the goods ?

*wheels* · « **Reply #61 on:** June 24, 2009, 10:57:51 AM »

Centuries, I think SBS2 will be showing all stages of the Tour live this year and SBS1 will show some stages live as well as the usual highlights packages.

Centuries · « **Reply #62 on:** June 24, 2009, 03:10:56 PM »

Right. I get the SBS4 and SBS Two but SBS 2 says no signal. Not sure what that means. Rats! Thankyou wheels.

I wonder if the new 24 hour Sports Channel One HD will have the cycling.

*wheels* · « **Reply #63 on:** June 24, 2009, 03:49:25 PM »

Centuries, SBS2 only started broadcasting this month. You may just need to do a search for the new channel, on my digital recorder it is channel 32.

*smee* · « **Reply #64 on:** June 24, 2009, 05:05:56 PM »

there goes Cadel now

*CountessA* · « **Reply #65 on:** June 24, 2009, 05:08:34 PM »

Oh, that is one gorgeous emoticon!

*grabs it for the site*

*smee* · « **Reply #66 on:** June 24, 2009, 05:12:07 PM »

Countess how does one go about adding an emoticon to the site ones ?

*CountessA* · « **Reply #67 on:** June 24, 2009, 05:19:08 PM »

Well, you tell me you want the emoticon, and I do the magic.

*smee* · « **Reply #68 on:** June 24, 2009, 05:25:28 PM »

ok thats fine thanks .I wasnt sure if anyone could just do it thats all .

*CountessA* · « **Reply #69 on:** June 24, 2009, 05:53:14 PM »

Do you have any Smeeish emoticons to suggest? After all, we really don't have enough emoticons. It's a dearth of emoticons here.

*smee* · « **Reply #70 on:** June 24, 2009, 06:03:17 PM »

No not really Countess but from time to time I come across some suitable ones
so in future I shall post them somewhere in here and if you deem them usable by all means snaffle them

Liisa-Sx · « **Reply #71 on:** June 24, 2009, 07:11:01 PM »

Here are a few you might find some suitable smilies amongst them

Centuries · « **Reply #72 on:** June 24, 2009, 08:56:39 PM »

I like that bike emoticon which smee posted and the shrugging ine, and others, which liisa has posted

Of course I like them

*Brum6y* · « **Reply #73 on:** June 24, 2009, 09:46:55 PM »

The jaw drop is my first pick.

*CountessA* · « **Reply #74 on:** June 24, 2009, 11:03:18 PM »

Ohhh... I like some of those... Look at the dancing elephant! Who couldn't adore it? Look at the smiley emerging from the coffee cup! And of course the Australia emoticon is a must... I'd be adding the Mona Lisa one if we didn't already have it...

Bellagina · « **Reply #75 on:** June 24, 2009, 11:09:25 PM »

And I like the popcorn....and the pizza.... and the cake.....

hmmm, is there a theme here???

*Brum6y* · « **Reply #76 on:** June 25, 2009, 04:02:29 AM »

Sounds like the OZRT better start an online workout session...!

Who'll run it and will they be streaming video?

Hi guys I sent a message today to the buyer advising that I had re-sent item 8 days ago and I trust that it had reached her safely this time this is her reply

received my pear this morning, many thanks and apologies for the delivery address mix up...

when in melbourne, be sure to visit GRIGONS AND ORR CORNER STORE - 445 queensberry st nth melbourne - and see your pear in action!! x my other venue if your after something other than breakfast, be sure to also pop into - THE ORDER OF MELBOURNE 2/401 swanston st melbourne - for
a cocktail or glass of vino! cheers kellie-may.

(despite the fact that I can tell from the tracking number she received it a few days )
at least I now know she has it (but still no offer to pay re postage costs)

Liisa-Sx · « **Reply #79 on:** June 25, 2009, 10:22:52 AM »

I get the feeling that the re postage wont be forthcoming typical of the "I'm up Jack pull the ladder up" mentality, I don't know is it just me or is touting their business in replies a tad insensitive given the efforts you took?

*CountessA* · « **Reply #80 on:** June 25, 2009, 11:52:08 AM »

I don't see the word "free" there in relation to "cocktail" or "glass of vino" or "breakfast". After your superlative service, that's a bit of a surprise...

Liisa-Sx · « **Reply #81 on:** June 25, 2009, 12:30:19 PM »

My point exactly Countessa, the words, FREE (as a thankyou) seem to be glaring in their absence, I know a location I would be likely to give a miss given the circumstances, nice of them state exactly which one.

*smee* · « **Reply #82 on:** June 30, 2009, 04:33:32 PM »

Hi just a quick update , today out of the blue I received an email from Kellie-May advising me she had today deposited funds into my account for the amount of $7.80 to cover the second lot of postage

*wheels* · « **Reply #83 on:** June 30, 2009, 04:55:04 PM »

Good news Smee! At least that is some acknowledgment for the extra trouble, and expense, you went to with her item. I still think she was pretty rude in not communicating with you earlier.

*Brum6y* · « **Reply #84 on:** July 01, 2009, 12:22:35 AM »

My thoughts put her as a busy, slightly disorganised but conscientious person. The fact that there was a payment made without 'encouragement' from you Smee, says to me they had not forgotten you at any time.

Just the priorities of business, perhaps, delaying her in addressing the matter.

Depending on the product area and your financial setup, I would consider her a valuable customer, but make a note of her circumstance and the possibilities of delays.

I would be most certainly sending her a message of thanks for being so conscientious for reimbursement for the extra postage cost.

To have come out of this having only lost a bit of your time and gained a little more experience is pretty positive outcome these days, IMO.

*smee* · « **Reply #85 on:** July 01, 2009, 12:25:57 AM »

I agree completley Brumby I am sure that starting a new cafe whilst also trying to run a bar in the melbourne CBD would be busy and a head F spin to say the least

*Brum6y* · « **Reply #86 on:** July 01, 2009, 12:34:42 AM »

Indeed. I couldn't see myself trying that - AT ALL!

My hat off to those that do.

Centuries · « **Reply #87 on:** July 01, 2009, 12:48:22 AM »

Good to know your buyer has transferred funds to cover the extra postage, smee.
