Ok, I've been to Paris.... at least, years ago now, before the pandemic... thankfully...... but ok, I will say, it was a lovely nice place.... to visit briefly anyway.... PFFFFFF..... "madame monsieur"  *fart*  

But yeah anyway, we all know the Tour de France, I'm sure your girlfriend does anyway pff.... but what I'm really wondering and guessing, this video is from the 70's or 80's somewhere.... but did y'all actually raid piss shops during the Tour De.... and not wear bloody helmets???! The manager had to pay for your antics afterwards???? You animals pfffffffffffff *smokes a cigarette in the street while my dog shits everywhere pffffff.....*

Not fully bad-mouthing, just fascinated and having fun, but anyway, mostly, I just find it fascinating, in New Zealand anyway, our rugby used to be hardcore as, the 1970's and 80's, but then the rules put a stop to most of it, guess it happened to you too in De Tour, all the recent Tour de Frances I've seen seem cutesy in comparison, we had riots in the 1980's that caused us to change the rules, piss shops here were raided as well I'm sure:

Tommy Simpson. Died during his ascent of the Mont Ventoux from having drunk too much brandy and taken amphetamines in a 42 degree (centigrade) heat.

Been watching abit more on the history of "de Tour of the de France and all that whatever pfff, smokes a cigarette etc", and... wow ok.

.....Do you know what started me on this "journey I guess"?... the 1904 American Olympics, the first to be held there:

I am increasingly getting more fascinated with 19th century mass sport events like this, because I'm now realizing they got away with a hell of alot! 

Anyway for those who don't know about 1904:
