His bike had to be carried back - it was very bent I've seen Taffy Owen go over fence 2 bend, and years later Grant Macdonald cleared bend one. Sadly the latter caused injury to a fan. Both riders thankfully ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neila 1,149 Posted June 29, 2022 Can just about remember in early 70's I was only 8 or 9 when a polish test side came over, everyone of them had a go at demolishing the fence, then in 1981 guy Wilson went over fence like a rag doll coming out of bend 4, taken off tho hospital then returned to Derwent lounge to a standing ovation, was the same nite a certain Ian Thomas had a police escort out of the stadium. happy days 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jenga we have been down this route before and the only thing I will confirm with certainty and without fear of contradiction is that my house in Maryport was built right on top of the old Jam Factory site... So it wasn't the residents of Maryport who were the "Jam Eaters" they just made the stuff and exported it round the county... I was once told by the manager of the Lifeboat a certain Mr Kemp that they didn't eat Jam in Maryport because they couldn't afford it... although how true that is I just dont know as Geordie Kemp has won the worlds biggest liar competition held in Cumbria more than yance... marra...

ruffdiamond 6,115 Posted June 29, 2022 So, what's the difference between jam and marmalade,,, apart from the price?,,, 'Preserve' is obviously only for millionaires. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TotallyHonestJohn 3,078 Posted June 30, 2022 (edited) What is an example of vanity? a selfie? Vanity is the quality of having too much pride in one's appearance or accomplishments or a bathroom cabinet that has a mirror and a sink. An example of vanity is a girl thinking she is the prettiest in the entire school or a Dad fitting into his sons Kevlar's and thinking they fit better on him than they do on the son... Gotcha Big Boy... I'm to sexy for these Kevlar's... Aye Righto Said Fred...
