Jeffrey Shaw Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 ...sounds like: a. a Victorian euphemism ("Carruthers, what the Bradley Wiggins are you doing with my wife?"); b. a Victorian melodrama's hero or villain; or c. a small town in Dorset or Hampshire.

Fareast Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Yes, Mr. Shaw, I think you may well be right----in fact I 'd go further than that ! I think Mr. Wiggins is a completely, made-up figure, invented to give the UK a pre-Olympic boost. He doesn 't look real and behaves far too well to be a real, living British sportsman. One thing 's for sure-------I 'm sick and tired of news reports about Mr. Wiggins------must have heard him mentioned about a 1000 times in the last week.

This young man derserves all the recognition he gets, he is a one off and unlikely to see any Brit win the Tour again. Its a change from all the other unworthy names constantly mentioned like Terry, Cole, Beckham they have achieved nothing compared to this guy. More Bradley Wiggins please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinfoilhat Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 A fantastic achievement. That said he was wise to avoid the radio 2 studio this morning. Chris Evans would have tried to hump his leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More Bradley Wiggins please With a good team behind him it seems obvious that Chris Froome would have a decent chance. Don't overlook his amazing achievement in finishing second.

cressida Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Three cheers for Bradley Wiggins, particularly after Andy Murray losing in the tennis final and our exit at Euro. Anyone remember Bill Wiggins (aka Bungalow Bill) who went out with Joan Collins - the complete opposite of our Bradley thank goodness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
