Bah humbug

Geez if I ever meet the person who gave me this flu' I'm going to kick him in the goolies. If I have the energy. Mind you, half-watching TV all night is not exactly the recipe for a speedy recovery, but English cricket tests are a must-bet event due to the liquidity on Betfair.

And talking about goolies leads me to a news item this morning that gave me a bit of a larf. Check this out, or if you can't be bothered, here's the short version:

A female Canadian downhill mountain biker has had her licence suspended and faces missing this month's World Championships because she took the piss out of a fellow "female" Canadian downhill mountain biker on the podium at their recent National Championships.

Her crime? Wearing a T-shirt with a handwritten message - "100% Pure Womens Champ 2006"; in reference to the fact that the winner is, in fact, a transsexual - you k'now, had those goolies chopped off.

FFS, has everyone lost their sense of humour? For the tranny to take offence, and for Cycling Canada (or whatever they are called) to revoke a rider's licence because of a bit of shit-stirring is ... well, sad. But quite funny, too.
