Unfortunately not; and nothing so "derring-do" covert or surreptitious, it was from a conversation at Peterborough with "Top Men" you know like those in the Harrison Ford Film Indiana Jones and Raiders of the Lost Ark... There’s a scene at the end of “Raiders of the Lost Ark” that always had me thinking.... No, not the one where the crate containing the Team Announcements that are being made are stored and being hidden away in that huge BSPA warehouse (along with all the other crates containing things the BSPA wants to keep from us – the club losses, evidence of alien life, super-efficient bikes saving riders money, cheap engines, the 6 man team proposal, riders sign on fees and salaries, pay slips etc.), but the one just before that where Indiana slams the BSPA agents at whose bequest he recovered the Team Announcements: Indiana: Fools. Bureaucratic fools!Marion: What’d they say?Indiana: They don’t know what they’ve got there. Dr. Jones, the dedicated arbiter that he is, wants the Team Build Announcements to be studied and analysed so that all there secrets can be learned and that they can be confirmed as being fair and equitable. He suspects, with good reason, that the inept bureaucrats in the BSPA will either botch the study or worse, bury it again, hiding all the evidence that there has been illegal practices going on. Maj. Eaton: We have top men working on it right now.Indiana: Who?Maj. Eaton: Top… men. But I think that the BSPA really does know what it’s doing, and hiding the information away like they do is most likely the best option and it was these "Top Men" who must unfortunately remain anonymous who I had my conversation with. I would only be putting you in mortal danger if I was to reveal their names, so sorry Indie but "Mum is the Word".... Oops a mean Singy...

But no "Manners maketh man" as me old Gran used to say and she got that from William Horman (c. 1440 – April 1535) who was a headmaster at Eton and Winchester College in the early Tudor period of English history. He is best known for his Latin grammar textbook the Vulgaria, which created controversy at the time due to its unconventional approach in first giving examples of translations of English writings on different topics, and later discussing the rules of grammar. The Vulgaria draws from a variety of sources, for example including the saying "It does no good for all truth to be told nor all wrong imputed" and how relevant is that saying today, from 500 odd years ago and still relevant... even in Speedway and the bike wasn't even invented then. However one of his classics was "it is better a chylde unborne than untaught" and when trying to correspond rationally with some of the Neanderthals on here why should we argue with rational like that... It is nice to impart knowledge and what can we derive from this very learned man... Well with spelling like that he must have been a Cumbrian and secondly Jenga must be at least 500 year old and one of his first pupils; int that reet marra just lyke yer sayd lyke tu otha neet (TiC) Regards THJ Edited November 27, 2018 by TotallyHonestJohn missed out key word Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're not wrong... however it's the boredom of waiting for these announcements... and you know what they say... Nothing good comes from boredom. It's said that idle hands are the devil's workshop, an old saying dating at least as far back as Chaucer in the twelfth century who called idle hands the devil's tools. So the idle fingers on the idle hands start typing to try and relieve the boredom and if you can inject some inane fact into the proceedings that some may find interesting that makes me smile... and if it annoys the "crepe" out of some folk.... well.... Well I PMSL to be honest... Regards THJ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
