Yep.
I'm doing a cycling thing for a couple of charities in an hour and a half or so - Cancer Scotland, and one that I'm not even going to bother attempting to write, as it's named after its founder. Who was Czechoslovakian. Oh, and it's a war veteran charity.
It's roughly 7-15 miles or so, and there's a lot of flat, so it'll be a really good opportunity to push myself like hell. And it's a good chance to see what this new bike is made of - I haven't really used it since I got it a couple of months ago. I'll also need to duck-tape/glue/6-inch nail down my speedo, as the blimmin' clips are broken, and it keeps falling off.
Thing is, though, is that the ground is still wet from last nights concoction of wonderful weather. The sun is out just now though, so hoepfully it'll dry up a bit.
There's roughly 20 or so doing it, and a few are professional cyclists for the Scottish Borders team. So that's lovely. But my mates were reluctant to do it with me - so reluctant that they aren't. Damn them. Ah well, just means more silence to concentrate. And stuff.
Everybody's starting at different times I think, as not to clog up the road.
If I'm not back in say, at least 10 hours, assume the worst. Then party probably.
Oh, and someone tape Roma vs Sampdoria on Eurosport at 2pm for me.
Ta.

Animals can have cancer too you do know that yes? The only difference is the research on animals is used to save human lives at the expense of thousands of animal lives. Despite the fact that obviously all the results of the tests are accurate for animals and not humans scientists continually decide to kill them off one by one to save humans instead. They deserve the right to live like all humans do as well.

Animals can have cancer too you do know that yes? The only difference is the research on animals is used to save human lives at the expense of thousands of animal lives. Despite the fact that obviously all the results of the tests are accurate for animals and not humans scientists continually decide to kill them off one by one to save humans instead. They deserve the right to live like all humans do as well.
Anyway, I'm off now.
It's a shame somebody had to put a damper on the gesture of goodwill with their rather stupid idea.
Ah well.

Ah well.
In what way does your opinion of feeling sympathetic towards animals being tested upon have any more justification than the feeling of sympathy to other humans who have cancer?

You could say the same but it is my opinion and I'm not going to change it because of what any of you say. I do believe that my opinion on this matter is right though (if opinions can be right) and I believe that it is possible to make some of you see things my way even if I amn't going to see it your way.
