Which half do you want Hippy?

Anything but the sideburns.

I'm tempted to make spoof Francis videos and send them to Halfords via twitter. Just put on a stupid voice and make crushingly stupid irrelevant comments. A viral anti Francis campaign

Sounds to me like they know exactly who their target audience is.

Francis doesnt tour on Eurosport.

I've taken to watching both on video - once on eurosport and then the last 40km on ITV (all recorded). Divorce papers are on their way, I've been told.

Eurosport >> ITV

I reckon there's about 1/3 the number of ads. ITV even put an add in the last 3km yesterday?
