  1. Can I have your address so I can post an invoice to you for the thousands of pounds I have lost due to brexit? So I am going to lose tens of thousands in the next 5-6 years to discover if I am right or not. That makes sense. I really hope brexit voters are bitten hard on the arse, as I doubt the money I am losing NOW will ever be recuperated.
  2. Agree. Its not as if it was a general election where Labour have somehow managed to get in and we have to suffer them for a term. The brexit vote is completely different and in my opinion will wreck the economy, with The UK suffering considerably because of the vote to leave. How the hell can brexit people say, 'Ok, lets all be happy with the decision and make the best of it'. Never going to happen. Depending where you sit the result of brexit will either hit you lightly or hard. But hit you it will. How can brexit voters say to me, except it and come on board. Are they going to compensate me the thousands of pounds I am going to be out of pocket, every year? Are they going to compensate me for the hundreds of pounds I am already out of pocket since the vote? The brexit vote will cost us all very dearly and I feel anger and frustration, not only for myself, but for my family and younger generation who have been sold down the swanny by a bunch of middle aged white people 'wanting their country back'. A catastrophic disaster for the UK. Nothing is going to change my mind on this, but I suppose I will be able to say. 'I told you so' in a couple/three years time when we cut ourselves off from our main trading partners. Realising the damage being caused I have been working hard and already changed one of my businesses to be based through The Netherlands. At least I will be paid in the Euro and can convert back to make up the shortcomings of the weaker pound.
  3. Just how much have the government given in guarentees to Nissan? An awful lot I should imagine. Considering Nissan employs tens of thousands in the north east, directly and indirectly, it was imperative the government fell over backwards to make sure Nissan didn't pull out and head for mainland europe. No one knows what consessions the government have given Nissan. Huge tax breaks? Who knows except the inner circle. Whatever it was it was necessary to keep them from relocating on the continent.

    Of course he didn't.
  5. This is a nonsense thread. If Hancock rode for Wolves it wouldn't have even been started.

    Poole 2017

    He had two serious injuries in 2016, one life threatening. His PL average is niether here nor there concerning Poole. I believe he has improved and will continue to do so and has a bit more in him yet. You are entitled to your opinion but if you saw his playoff rides I am struggling to believe you don't think he has improved.

    Poole 2017

    Rides mosts tracks well. Perhaps struggles at Swindon was excellentv at Belle Vue and is consistent at Coventry, Lynn. Lakeside. Certainly improving year upon year. Don't think he has topped out yet.

    Speedway Agm

    The agm should have already happened two months ago. November as far too late to sort out rules and plans for the following season. Other countries are so far ahead of the game its a joke. An agm in November is a completely antiquated time to run it. If it was held in August/September riders would be happy to have their teams berths sorted, or if they are to be dropped, give themselves longer to find another club.

    Poole 2017

    So Kyles 3.79 means he is nailed on at reserve. With rumours of Ellis on a 3.0 using his NL average, we have our bottom two sorted.

    Poole 2017

    Did he actually say that? A varied average depending on where he rides? Thank go I don't have to read such drivel. Bwhahahahahaa!

    End of the day Loram won the title in similar circumstances. I was there and it was totally blatant. Screen, who was much faster than Loram all night, spent the 5th ride waiving Loram through then spent 4 laps blocking every move Hampel could throw at him. Was there outrage? Nope. Just a big well done to Screeny for helping his countryman win the wc.

    Wildcards 2017.....

    Certainly wouldn't pick Hampel. His day has gone. And a boring rider at that. Far more interesting options about.

    Hancock was dealt with correctly and fairly. You have to race not ride. Pulling out of the meeting is a sulk. The problem of having a team mate in Monster Energy, and a team mate in their Polish club. Shouldn't have looked out for a "team mate". Its happened before and will happen again.

    Fantastic result for Chris after the big flop of 2015. Really been seeing the best Chris Holder at times this season and think he could be putting a serious GP challenge together next season. A great GP.

    Melbourne 2016

    Congrats to Chris on a great ride to win it! Wooohhooooo! Well I think it's been a brilliant GP full of great racing and a little controvesy with Hancock. I thoroughly enjoyed that to bring down the season ( with the exception of a trip to Somerset next week)

    Great first semi. Zmarszlik so fast.

    Great race by Lindback. This meeting has been brilliant.
  18. And those that voted out are in denial of the catastrophic damage voting out has and will cause the UK. The damage to the UK economy is already visible way before Article 50 has been invoked. It seems these brexitears have happily given away 25% of the salary without a blink. If someone came up to them and grabbed their wallet, saw there was a thousand quid in there and took £250 out and handed the wallet back, the victim would punch the perpetrator on the nose and call the police to report a mugging. But these pro-brexit voters have just done exactly that to the remainers. And the irony is, they have also done it to themselves.

    That'll bring some good team spirit! Lol!

    Then you could say the other two in the heat don't deserve the extra point given. Hancock guilty, no one else.
  24. Steve Shovlar

    Melbourne 2016

    And rightly so. No need for it.

    Some great racing tonight. Holders brilliant pass of Lindback the highlight. Nice to see Darcy looking well. Chin up lad. He clearly misses the sport.
