Tony: I used to watch this. Always thought I'd like to give it a try.
Me: The tour de France?
Tony: Yeah.....when I was younger I mean.
Me: You know what they do, right?
Tony: Oh yeah. I know it's tough. Problem is all the training. I wouldn't have had the time.
Me: With all due respect mate, these people are superheroes.
Tony: I used to cycle to Pangbourne to see me gran.
Me: 🙄
Today watching the tour de France:
Tony: Oh! They're at it again then?
Me: Yeah....you do realise what this is, right?
Tony: Oh yeah.
Me: They cycle 3000 km in 21 days with 2 days off.
Tony: What?!
Me: Yeah. Around 200 kms a day at around 50 km/h. And it's not flat. There are mountains. Proper steep mountains.
Tony: Blimey. My arse used to hurt cycling to me grans.
Me: These guys live in pain I reckon.
Pause
Tony: Where is it then? In a foreign country?
Me: .....what? The tour de France?
Tony: Yeah.......oh! It's actually in France then?
🤣
