Anyway, just thought I pop in a say hi, you may or may not have noticed that I stop by (at the moment I tend to just post my pickems) when I can but I've been busy. I went to the US a few weeks back to take in the X Games which was cool, I got to catch up with a few friends which was nice and generally enjoy a couple of days off. I've also just thrown a killer 5th birthday party for my god-daughter which even if I say so myself was the best 5th birthday party ever. :D
Oh and finally let me say (cause no-one else will), well done Joan Olive, yet another podium, that first win is coming. :)
Ah, red cordial and fairy bread does make for a pretty wild time! :D Glad to hear you're doing well Matt. Hope you had nothing to do with Nicky Hayden's crash at the X Games though. There was talk of flying debris possibly causing the incident... :s tareup:

They are much more interesting than the racing lately. For a Stoner and Kwak fan anyway. ;) Think I'll have a Marlboro and a drink of Monster...
Since you mentioned Stoner and Marlboro. I came across this the other day.Quote:

Stoner is criticised for his team's association with tobacco products. I'm a non-smoker and but I always found the ban of tobacco advertising to be silly.
Also Ducati only had Marlboro logos in Qatar so images the bike covered in Marlboro logos are not that common.
Surely these bike teams earn enought to get these poor kids some clothes that actually fit them..Quote:

I'm very much of the same opinion as you ChrisS. At least on the banning of cigarette advertising in sport anyway because I can't see a logo/sign really encouraging anything as opposed to glamourous tv/magazine ads. Peer pressure is the biggest factor anyway I reckon.Quote:
