All sounds plausible until you see that he is writing articles about events much further back than that. Now he either has a selective memory or he knows where to research things. Given that and his continual posting of links to historical sites I would think it very strange that he asks about this meeting or in a previous thread asks about the size of a certain track he has previously written about on a number of ocassions.... Look at the evidence and judge, rather than jump in and post Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Look at the evidence and judge, rather than jump in and post Sorry for jumping in and posting , I will ask your permission next time looking further at the "evidence" I notice that most of the people who criticize Gustix rarely write anything interesting or intelligent themselves , yet they enjoy calling an old man names Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(1) Is it wrong to seek clarification as to what type of meeting was staged? (2) Re the track size (New Cross) I did not ask what the track size was. I referred to a Post elsewhere that originated on Facebook and gave a much different size to that which is accepted. My query was how the Poster of the wrong size arrived at his figure which was for more than 340 yards. Edited October 31, 2019 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is what I am talking about. Are you ? I think if he is honest he would even admit he has been strange over the years. In fact I think he even admitted such just a couple of weeks back Edited October 31, 2019 by iris123 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll deride whichever religion I like, thank you gustix, as they are all complete nonsense and do more harm than good. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chadster 221 Posted October 31, 2019 To be fair to Gustix (and someone has to be), I was at the last Wimbledon meeting and can hardly remember anything about it. The thing that has stuck in my mind was that one of his prizes for winning was a sewing machine, which seemed an unusual prize to say the least. Perhaps we could have a thread abour unusual speedway prizes. I'll leave Gustix to start it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why didn't the Saints also sign Jesus? I thought he'd have been nailed on for a team place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
