I'd rather do than watch but never did anything at school 'cos the glasses got in the way. Recently I found this gem on cyclists while researching cycling etiquette...
We are very individual, and you and I are a tad selfish and poor communicators. We are indeed a bit feckin odd; it is why we didn’t go in for team sports in maturity. Odd and loners, in the animal world we are the panda (sitting on a ‘flite’ saddle for 5 hours at a time, squashing the penile tract will induce the same fertility rates). This ‘squad of one’ mindset can introduce an attitude of selfishness and arrogance. A disregard for other abilities and isolated persona. Instead these cyclists who appear at the Sunday morning spin with evil intent on mislaying the children and infirm on the first rise, proclaiming their self worth; in turn offer excuses, when they are under pressure. These weak oppressors blame the bike, the tyres, the road surface, the wind, and the tyres again, never the body. We cyclists have the personal strength not to be sheep. Never run with the herd. The intellectual power to decide, no I don’t want to kick ball or chase one for 18 holes. I want to do something extremely hard and with few rewards. So we are: Say it with me ‘ODD’. This in no way excuses these bad manners or means we have to be a numpty.

Any feedback on using emusic.com?
I've done a quick browse on music I was thinking of purchasing before bothering to sign up; some they have, some they haven't.

Geez, what have you guys got against petrol-heads? Or is it just the Tron that you hate?
I'm stoked it's in the Tron! And not in my front lawn (Victoria Park)

Interesting.. as I'm exactly the same. Then combine it with my lack of hearing in noisy situations (pubs with loud music) and people really think I'm rude or snobbish.

you will never be able to get espresso as good as what a cafe can make.
@Stephen Judd: Now I have my Domobar Super and Masser Mini I reckon I get a better coffee at home than 95% of cafes in AKL - working from home got all that much more enjoyable...

@Rachel Prosser: Have a good read of http://coffeegeek.com/guides/howtobuyanespressomachine/getagrinder
But basically don't skimp on the grinder.

I watched the men's race streaming the coverage off the TVNZ website. I was stoked with this until I got an alert from Xtra saying I'd used 80% of my monthly cap. 2Gb used... Eek...
