The sort of comment that sums Mr Tucker up. Loses the argument so resorts to sarcasm. |

So, you think I was being entirely serious throughout? Sums mho up - doesn't really "get" anything. |

I'm sorry I must have missed your intention to make a joke because just like I can't be  to spell properly you can't be bothered to make your intonation clear. |

I see. So when i asked if the rotation of the earth around the sun counted, no alarm bells went off? Not even a little one? |

I ignored all that waffle - you lost the argument about road events changing being comparable with TT'ers being miffed to find an event changed and then decided to resort to insults.
Keep up. |

Lets assume that I agree that I lost the argument. Even a hippy could tell that, right from the off, I was being sarcastic. Then Robabank weighs in, DEFEATS me in logical debate, then right at the end you accuse me of resorting to sarcasm (when that's all I ever do) then try to BASK in the glory of another man's victory?
Congrats. |

If you had been quicker to address the substantive point (sarcasm is a fine tool but if you expose a hypocritical underbelly someone's going to have a swing at it) I could have focussed on your rubbish maths with some humour about there only being three types of accountant. |

Hmmm, if your argument was that the course change would affect the PLACING of the competitor, then I could see that it had merit and was a valid comparison with a course change in a RR. As I dont think that's what youre saying, then I don't see it. The TT is already open to "elites", as it were, but if it was a longmarkers event and Hutch etc were allowed to ride then your comparison with 2nd cat/elite makes sense and I'd agree that the entrants should be angry.
Of course, what it boils down to it that I think it's ridiculous that testers trawl the country for one "glorious" chance to ride a fast course on a float day and set a time that they will never be able to beat. And I was merely taking the p!ss.
Of course, thats not to say that roadies don't do stupid things - sitting in all night in a Tuesday/Thursday night chipper, having a little sprint then going home without even a semblance of a workout makes no sense either.
Jokes about my maths skills are warranted - DO YOUR WORST |

Or you could just run with no resistance. |
