Stupid foreigner question -> There are white zig-zaggy lines on the road. I've seen them during the Tour de France and now in London. What do they mean?

That Spanish chap seems to be having a bit of a shit day!

 

[Sigmund Fraud]

If I were Sanchez's spanner man I'd be doing a runner now...

The people handing out the numbers obviously have no sense of humour. Jack Bauer has number 25.

 

[Plumdaff]

I know there's been enough moaning about the commentators, but jesus, Hugh Porter makes me long for the finesse and erudition of Ligett

 

[yardbird]

[twistedAM]
