    That’s “agender”.

    Is that a hidden agender?

    If it’s only ever going to be

    If it’s only ever going to be used in erg mode, one option would be to go for a trainer that is smart but not interactive (i.e. broadcasts power, but isn’t controllable by third party programs) – that would split the difference price-wise, and still allow you to use virtual training programs for a bit of extra engagement (without the full road feel).

    Of course, if you then find you get into it and want to get the full experience once you’ve recovered, you might end up paying twice to upgrade to a fully interactive one, so…

    The one-sided cleat seems like a good idea but in either use you end up needing to flip the pedal.

    I’ve never found this to particularly be a problem, and for me the minor amount of getting used to this required is more than outweighed by having the flexibility that it provides.

    I dont know how true the story is or not

    Not at all, apparently – appears to have been a complete invention. The reason for mentioning the ‘official song’ bit was that if the Sun can’t even get that basic detail right, just perhaps, the rest of the story shouldn’t be given too much credence either.

    But in any case, you may be taking my comment too seriously. Personally, I don’t care one bit whether they play it or not – it was just an excuse to make a sarcastic swipe at people who think they ‘ought’ to have won something in thirty years by pointing out that it’s now nearly twice that. And at myself for getting on a bit.

    Surely you mean ‘knew’? Hasn’t the tide carried them and their cars out to a watery end by now?

    I’m not sure how ‘snowflakes’

    I’m not sure how ‘snowflakes’ would ‘cancel it for Qatar’ anyway – surely they’d all have melted long before they got the chance?

    It’s not – not least because it hasn’t been ‘the official song’ since 1996.

    I think the real issue is one of scansion – “fifty-six years of hurt” just doesn’t really work. Either that or people just want it binned off because working out what it needs updating to just makes us feel old.

    Are they true morals or false morals, though? Because the false ones are poisonous.
