Right time for bed, a good fight but Haye outclassed. Hope Team Sky can put Thomas in yellow tomorrow in the time trial might make up for getting up at 5am to watch a grown man blame his loss on a toe.

Haye a typically British effort didn't get knocked out but didn't show much else either.Poor show blaming it on toe. Suck it up and say you lost to a better man. BBC reporting that Sky HD has issues with prebookings and technical issues. On twitter sky supposedly told people who had issues to find their nearest pub.

Yep complained that he couldn't get off his right hand as hurt/broke his toe in training

Beijing

Well that certainly wasn't worth getting up at 5am was it. Out thought, outworked and outboxed. Excuses excuses broken toe in training my arse.

last chance saloon for Haye.

Very very good performance from Klitshcko, dominated Haye. Come on last two rounds he has to give it everything

He needs a haymaker. Much better performance from Klitshcko dominated and outworked Haye.

Great start to the tour. Nice to Cadel fit and right up there he deserves a good tour. Great ride form Geraint Thomas and a good team time trial could see a welshman in yellow!

What time does it start? In Vietnam can't find the start time on this patchy wifi, trying to find a sports bar to watch it in too.

If you can't find a bar then you can watch on the internet here

My money is on Haye inside 8 rounds, he'll be too quick and have too much power. It's been a very long time since Klitschko has fought anyone decent, i.e. someone who thinks they can actually win and its not just me saying this even Steward has hinted that his might be a problem. It won't be easy but I think Booth will have a strategy to unravel Klitschko's defence and reveal his weak chin. It should be a good fight and I'm glad that Haye has finally got this fight. As cocky as he is hyping up the fight, in the ring he always delivers and I can't see this fight being any different.

I got my rims from www.farsports.cn if that helps, they seem to be good people to deal with (so far!)

Thanks will drop them an email as I can't seem to find any forks on their website.

I recently bought some chinese carbon forks and really pleased with them. The sizing on the inside of the steerer is a little odd as only 1 out of 3 expander bungs I tried fitted but that's my only gripe. 19 days from payment to arrival including weekends. They're bloody light too.

Sumo I'm based in Beijing and have been looking at getting some carbon forks. Which supplier did you use and are you happy with the forks?

In terms of finding other suppliers in China there are a few websites that are basically run by the same company. I know some people might know alibaba but try using aliexpress as often they will ship items for free if its only a small order.

Alibaba the biggest and mainly deal with b2b custom

Aliexpress which mainly does international b2c but also b2b

Taoabo China's number one web based shopping site. Its all in Chinese but using google chrome you can translate the pages. It will also recognise a lot of English search terms.

Other than forks I'm looking at some cycling helmets but obviously I'm a bit wary about quality and standards. These seem to be copies of catlike or maybe even from the same factory.

Hope this isn't a pea roast.

An amazing afternoon of football today, 38 goals in 7 games.

Saha with 4 and Beckford with 1

ACE!

Should have had 5 but a sensational perfomance by him and Fellaini

I know this clip gets rinsed but thought I this new version was amusing.

YouTube - Hitler finds out about Torres and Carroll

Black Adder has to be the best of British. Spaced too was very funny.

Living in China means there isn't much on the box so I get through quite a few series pretty quickly. Some obvious choices have been mentioned, Sopranos and The Wire to name but two. I'd recommend The first couple seasons of Entourage purely for Jermey Piven's outbursts as Ari Gold, Hollywood's most obnoxious agent.

and David Duchovny in

which was superb.

Can I borrow 175,000 please? It's for a watch I can't even see...

I think it looks better in the bag. Pretty hideous if you ask me

*"Hi Graham

As you've seen, my straps are parallel width, so if you want a tapered strap I'm afraid I can't help.

Best wishes
Rich"*

:-(

Ouuch sorry thought he might be able to make one.

When the same mate went to India he got me an £8 locally-made Hindustan Machine Tools watch with a licence-built Citizen 17 jewel movement. It is a much better watch, both in looks and quality.

Great name "Hindustan Machine Tools" worth 8 notes just to see that on a watch!

That citizen is nice actually. Suffers a bit from 'cross-eyed chronograph' syndrome (why don't makers just make a bigger movement if they are going to make a bigger case?) but I do like it.

I agree its a bit cramped but for 100 quid you can't have everything. I know what you mean about replicas I wouldn't bother paying much for them but as they are available locally I have a couple but in the end decided to get something genuine for the exact reason you highlighted. I know its not real.

I'm struggling to find a decent tan strap for my IWC. I need a 21/22mm with an 18mm taper to get the buckle on

If you are looking for straps this guy really makes nice stuff but he's not cheap

I live in Beijing and in terms of fakes there are countless to be had some very good and some terrible. They usually have grades of replicas and the top grades are decent. I have a Bell and Ross which keeps great time looks great but the glass has scratched over time and some of the screws have started to mark the case but only cost me 15 quid. Its done ok and is still going strong after 4 years.

I'm not a fan of the looks, but love the Citizen Eco-drive technology. A battery that will never run out, go flat, dry out, charged by movement, light or sheer determination, and you can even get ones that receive the radio time signal so will never need adjusting.

I've decided after long deliberation to get an Eco drive as my daily watch. I feel its the best bang for the buck. For about a 100 quid (from the US) I can get a nice titanium watch which is accurate, I don't have to worry about the battery and is pretty water proof. For the money I don't think they can be beaten and some of the designs are much better now.
