BradleyWiggins : The RemainsOfTheDazed II (cont. .. . .. from Sunday, Nov 18
So, we were talking about the French .. and them taking both the credit and the blame for BW's bike accident . ..
You see, it was being on those lovely (French) roads . ... . when Bradley won the Tour de France ..
it lulled him into a false sense of security ..
because Wiggins had to come home, and it was probably all too much for him, biking on our rotten, rutted ways . .
. . . . Wiggy .. ! wallop .. hossy .. y'know .. mend our ways, mend his ways 'n all . .
And so the French will be bragging about the quality of their roads
but brooding about what happen to Brad . .
For it's always a hotchpotch of referential pride and reverential guilt as far as the French are concerned *
Put it this way :
There's an old song by Peter Sarstedt entitled ? Where did you go to, my lovely You may well know it. . . ....
Well, it's a love-angst piece, y'know . ... where Peter sing about his Lovely in Paris, who does everything, knows everybody
etaletal . . BUT the song tells us (if I remember correctly ) how she keep a friend of Sacha Distel locked in a cupboard,
without food and water, who is then put up for an extortionate ransom, an exchange for a famous Arab thoroughbred .. or something
..or release on condition that Distel never ever sings again .. ! ?
Or Sarstedt's song is about the English cyclist who pass from fabulous French roads to entropied English dirt-tracks.
Yes. Well, anyhoo, the point is : The French Referential pride Reverential guilt. etcetc ?you get my drift!
It's a constant tension within France : Robespierre v Danton ; Bardot v Depardieu ; Aznavour v Distel . ..
. . . Do you follow, Ms. ?Ynnit ?
