An amazing achievement in winning his second Tour de France victory, and especially in light of the often hostile media and fans (having urine thrown at him and being spat at). The fact that he remained so incredibly diplomatic and polite is a testament to his resilience as both a professional cyclist and as a human being. Massive respect to him

Watching the BBC, they blurred out the face of the twat that spat at him. Why, name and shame the bastard.
Why couldn't they have had a bouncer/cop/thug following him on a motor cycle (they have the video guys there after all). Said follower could then educate the twat in cycling etiquette.

Let's hope he was "spoken to" off camera by one of the team.

A great triumph, despite the adversity.

You make it sound like he was playing golf!

I've just got a Kindle Paper White, and just like my last Kindle, reading PDF is a royal pain. Reading in landscape makes it 1/10 the pain, but still, pain. I tried using Zamzar to convert to mobi, but got gibberish about three pages in. Do I stop reading books on magick, all mostly old and PDF, and concentrate on tech books, that are all mostly available in Kindle formats?

I didn't buy a Kindle for that very reason and got a Sony PRS-T3 instead. It usually does a good job on PDF reflowing. It is a bit slow, though.

No, but it's the most touted and I will try it asap, thanks.

I loathe auto start vidoes when they are news items, an auto start video that is an add is unforgivable! Banished to the pits of hell...

I see no ads I have an ad blocker, if the ads annoy you that much then I suggest you do the same. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

I've never actually bothered to install an ad blocker, either too lazy or I don't want to miss out on the opportunity to whine about something!

Who wants to miss out on the opportunity to moan and whinge about something or another, certainly not my wife.

I use a Print-to-kindle printer driver.

I wouldn't event try. My Kindle is now so broken (it loses major functionality on a monthly basis) I can now only use it for reading very simple web pages and the occasional book - although it has to be plugged into the mains for that - and because bookmarks have never worked it has to be a book I want to read from cover to cover. Amazon tell me to update the Kindle software but there is no way of doing that - none of the Amazon suggestions work.

I read PDF documents only if there's a gun to my head (filling the form out for renting my current address was the last time, nearly two years ago. It's people like the inventors of pdf that make me wish I believed in Hell so I could send them there!
