Hey,

If the other thread is going to list the highlights in this newsgoup,
we need to have a place for the embarrassing lows. Idiot posters,
stupid messages, dumb thoughts, predictions that completely flopped,
etc....

Thanks,
Ronde Chumpion

Just last week in a post I wrote "your" where it should have said
"you're".

Wevelgem. (Blushes, Hangs head)

Oh yeah, thats nothing compared to me thinking the Kemmelberg was in
Belgium and worst of all that Amstel might be a Belgian beer. I hope
the beer lovers in Holland are more peaceful than the animal activists,
or I might have to start worrying about an assasination attempt.

Just to make it perfectly clear, the Kemmelberg is a cobbled mole-hill
in West-Flanders, in the parcours for Gent-Wevelgem and Driedaagse De
Panne-Koksijde. Valkenburg on the other hand is a little town near
Maastricht in the southern most part of The Netherlands (can't really
call it Holland there anymore), with a mole-hill of its own: the
Cauberg. You may remember that climb from the Amstel Gold Race,
several World- and countless Dutch Championships.

For the same reason that you can't use New England and the United States
interchangeably.
