Is a sex pest the same as a sexual harasser? One is pestering for explicitly for sex, the other is saying someting that is making the victim feel harassed by using provocative and inappropriate language.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on July 17, 2026, 09:49:07 AM@Crement Itravilatx has nominated himself as new party leader. With no other nominations before the deadline we have now moved toward a question period from members.

Our sincere commiserations to Talossa's equivalent of Lurleen Wallace.

The decision of a sex pest unanimously condemned by the Ziu, to pretend to quit politics but in fact hide behind his husband as a stalking-horse, might just be cunning enough to fool the low-info voters on which elections sadly hinge.

Stage 13   »   Dole  ›  Belfort

Yesterdays stage included the category 1 climb Ballon d'Alsace, but the summit was 25 km before the finish, making this a perfect opportunity for a break. As a result nearly the entire peloton wanted to be in the break and many succeeded, including Philipsen who won the intsprint ahead of Pedersen and climbed to second place in the points classification before dropping back to the peloton. The strongest among the many attackers was Mauro Schmid, who beat one other rider in a sprint. More importantly for TCAT, Pidcock (REX/EVC) came in fourth, still far ahead of the GC contenders and shot to 4th place in GC as a result. No other TCAT rider made the top 20.

As a result it was a stage with for Els Talossaes Rexhital, closely followed by EVC.

Today was* perhaps the toughest stage of this edition with 1 second category and 3 first category climbs, including the entirely new Col du Haag, which turned out to be quite an exciting one.

*Yeah it's already happened (spoiler). Sorry for the late stage 12 update
