... if a Hungarian wins and becomes the reigning WK Champion Cycling will he be wearing the rainbow jersey?

"The rainbow jersey is the distinctive jersey worn by the reigning world champion in a cycling discipline, since 1927. The jersey is predominantly white with five horizontal bands in the UCI colours around the chest. From the bottom up the colours are: green, yellow, black, red and blue; the same colours that appear in the rings on the Olympic flag. The tradition is applied to all disciplines, including road racing, track racing, cyclo-cross, BMX, Trials and the disciplines within mountain biking. The jersey is produced by Santini SMS since 1994.[1]"

If at 12:12 Bangkok time today I get a call on my mobile from a woman using a UK number (+44....) and as far as I could understand (bad line) she wanted to interest me in a product or so

Should I be happy getting a call or should I weep as some seem to get desperate to sell things ?

Must desperate, that was around six a.m UK time.

Bad line but I thought the woman was trying to interest me in some funds. I didn't have rgs' number at hand otherwise I could have passed it on to her.

Mind you, knowing rgs that might have been too cruel

Just having one beef rissole doesn't sound like much fun to me.

'bitterballen' or just 'ballen' is either a verb or a noun (plural for bal).

So you might like 'voetbal' and 'let's go 'voetballen'

As for one beef rissole, I'm not greedy and on a diet
