Another favourite epitaph, Robert Louis Stevenson's.

UNDER the wide and starry sky
Dig the grave and let me lie:
Glad did I live and gladly die,
And I laid me down with a will.

This be the verse you 'grave for me: 5
Here he lies where he long'd to be;
Home is the sailor, home from sea,
And the hunter home from the hill.

Three things are certain in life: taxes, death and... (at the moment: tax evasion by VIPs)

BTW, I think taxes come before death

"First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me"

Hi reohn

had to ask a friend with far better memory retension than myself.

This was his answer :

Not 100% sure but ..

I think it was TdF 2014 when Nibali got a free ride to the top podium place after Froomey and the rest crashed out.

Coming from a team (Astana) that gave doping a bad name he was defending the new drugs testing measures and the guy interviewing said well people are still doing it.

And Nibali replied: La madre …
