Now they say that his 5-years old son died too :(

Really sad news, I don't feel like writing happy things now.

The cold wet one! Aaaah!

Just got back. Was incredible. Incredibly wet and cold! But awesome. My arse hurts now though. Oh well, its all for a good cause.

So sad to hear about Colin McRae though...him and David Coulthard were heroes to me when I was a bit younger!

The Residents are great! I'm new to them. For anyone that doesn't know them, read this (taken from wiki):

The Residents are an avant-garde music and performance collective, who have released nearly sixty albums, created numerous musical short films, designed three CD-ROM projects, and undertaken six major world tours. Throughout their career, spanning nearly four decades, they have maintained complete anonymity. All public relations, interviews and promotions are handled by their spokesgroup, The Cryptic Corporation.


As for the weird things they do, here's some more:

After recording an entire album of songs that were one minute long in 1980, The Commercial Album, the group purchased one minute advertising spots on San Francisco’s most popular Top 40 radio station and had the entire album, all 40 songs, played by the station over a period of three days. Billboard Magazine wrote an editorial about it questioning whether it was advertising, payola, or art.

The Residents, at this point, were at a rough point in their career. There was in-band turmoil, which supposedly resulted in a large, "embarrassing" food fight. They decided to resolve this tension in 1974 by allegedly recording what would later become "Not Available" - representative of N. Senada's Theory of Obscurity taken to its logical conclusion. The album was recorded and then placed in storage to be issued only when everyone had forgotten about it.

Yeah, it was a tad wet and cold yesterday. Congrats for making the trek though. Better get one of those big wide bike seats with a gel cover. Don't know why they insist on making these razor thin ones now.

Best bike saddle I ever sat on was one on an old bike from around the 1920s. It was comfortably sprung with soft leather upholstery and neatly shaped to fit a decent sized arse to perfection! Could have rode on that all day in complete comfort.

I have a sort of sports saddle 'for men', which is firm and has a groove through the centre. Looks a bit like a ventilation port for farting, but it is actually to relieve pressure on your sensitive bits. I wont go impotent and I never get a numb arse. Woo!

I wouldnt call it comfortable though!

RIP Colin McRae indeed. Tragic to survive an amazing career in a dangerous kind of sports and then die in a helicopter crash. Very rock 'n' roll though, he deserved at least that... :dead:
