I had a Little Henry but had to keep swapping it for a Dyson. Eventually the Little Henry quit on me coz it didn't want to 'suck up' anymore!

Next you'll be telling me sauerkraut is British, the French love scones with jam and cream, and paella is a traditional Russian dish. After all they are all European, basically the same people,. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ancient mariner 540 Posted May 6, 2022 That's his season done then I suspect. Such a shame as he was pulling up some trees before his crash. I hope he recovers fully and swiftly; the very best of luck to Dan 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Teromaafan 573 Posted May 10, 2022 Can anyone shed light on Kennett’s absence? Is he actually injured? If, as some have suggested on this forum, he may have just been used for one meeting to gain a guest facility, the situation stinks. Fair play to the Plymouth riders for their performances to date, but they are using guests for someone who is unlikely to sustain his current average if he were to continue racing. At what point does the guest (or R/R) facility get reviewed or expire if he is not actually injured? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plate came through skin in his arm I think. With Gilkes highly unlikely to be back this season and Atkins allegedly chucked it can they run 3 guests all season?
