Ok, I think my whole life I have been saying this incorrectly. I always thought the phrase was dull as dishwater.

Ditch water makes much more sense!

Mrs Cato also mangles this one (among many others). Dry as ditchwater. Honestly, I despair sometimes. Another favourite of hers is " I wouldn't trust him as far as I could see him".

Well OK love but with your specs on that's fucking miles.

@Hooroo I thought it was a funny mistake but you made me Google it. My life is ruined.

Yep, and is just a modernised idiom. They both work (and yes I googled it too).

One of the better thread diversions for a while. A drug cheating cyclist discussion has evolved into the origins of English expressions. Nice.

Here is a good podcast I listened to awhile back about one of the whistle blowers. https://gimletmedia.com/shows/without-fail/kwhjv9

@Magpie_in_aus that's a good podcast, thanks. Really enjoyed it.

Amazing how they did it. Also interesting to see the suffering they go through ... the EPO just makes them 'slightly' faster (whcih in elite sport is incredible)

Edit: also I still hate your profile pic. FFS man

Just finished it - it’s on iplayer for fellow UK.

Best 3 hours of tv in years. Hooked from start to finish.

Absolute psychopath. Undoubtedly.

Still in the pro camp tho. Sorry for those that annoys.
