Maybe you could hoist the European flag, or to avoid hate crime , a version of it
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

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

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
