Yellow background, blue stars, or the wrong number of stars?
There are 12 stars on the flag, should symbolise perfection
Can anyone remember when the EU had 12 members exactly?

I always thought the 12 stars were the number of classics riders you could juussstttt fit in an echelon across a Belgian minor road when an ill wind blows from the east

+12 or +13

You DO have to try to get us talking about cycling!
grrr

Is the word "ecehelon" in regular use outwith the cycling community?

It could be in high class society.

I wouldn't give either of those two 'news'papers any credibility whatsoever.
Now if it were the Morning Star that'd be a different thing altogether

Two weeks ago snow was lying, today it was much too hot, had to remember to drink plenty
Was endangered by a lifestyle tank creeping over a stop line on red, I hate them, can't they be fitted with with handbrakes?
It really is sickening to see so much motor traffic on a Sunday

well soon the temps will return to normal 14C or so that will be a shock. I think haveing a few days of hot weather then cool suits me fine - I dont like hot weather in the summer when it goes on and on
