I watch too much Yes Minister. To try to rip off a Bernard Woolley Quote:- Glasgow find loopholes in the rules You bend the rules Poole cheat and moan (tongue firmly in cheek!) I suspect this might have been another Michael Max masterpiece - his knowledge of the rules has always been phenomenal

Is there any chance of a Grand Prix interrupting this thread?

I cant believe that anyone wants to watch the incident where someone was seriously hurt back again - at least BSN have the sense and respect not to upload it. As for people wanting updates, we are way down the list of priorities. The important thing is that the photographer is getting the treatment he needs and his family and friends the support. Updates will come as and when they are ready but we are not the priority here (cant believe I am having to actually point that out to people). Best wishes to ALL those involved

You have no idea how close that came to happening in Grangemouth yesterday. There were locals primed to go and that was when the police extended the blockade. Would have been more fun if they had let the locals at them lol. The only people impacted by what they did yesterday were contract workers. Ineos workers who couldnt get into work were just sent home but will be paid. Not all contractors - many of whom are on the construction/electrical side - have the same luxury

For Scotland forecasts Windy Wilson is the way to go or Sean Batty. No point in looking at the Met office forecasts for Scotland they are rarely accurate

I believe he has already said that he was speaking with people in Scotland and using the weather forecasts that the club were apparently using so thats hardly an accurate comment - he wasnt doing any predicting himself. We all know speedway is in trouble. It needs the few customers it still has to speak up about things that irk them. Promotions may or may not be able to do anything about it but it could give them a reason to look at things differently. Not really sure attacking another supporter who is questioning a decision is really the way ahead - disagreeing is healthy tho

Thats sad to hear, sounds like the inability to communicate and promote is really biting hard. It used to be a worry when crowds fell to 800!

Hopefully I am mis reading this Noelinho, I assume the home crowd hasn’t fallen to 500? In fairness to Lucifer Sam, he is one of the most travelled speedway fans on here and travels up and down the country to watch speedway, not just his team. As such he is probably pretty knowledgeable from the side of how fans view and are affected by things. Rather than attack people like that perhaps they should be listened to for the future of the sport

More info on it at Methanol as fuel | Bureau Veritas Marine & Offshore if you are interested/can't sleep

Oh you are very welcome (said she sarcastically) Thanks for ignoring my reply telling you I could not do so and suggesting you contact Phil

If it had been posted at the same time, how could racers and royals have quoted it in his reply?

It shouldnt be aired across the forum - are you for real? This 'clown' behind a keyboard thinks you must be looking in the mirror and referring to yourself. He beat her up. It was reported in the local papers. As far as I am aware there is no case out of libel on the local newspaper, now I wonder why? There are consequences to actions and one of them in this instance is knowing what he did. Theres loyalty to your team and theres blind loyalty. I suggest you stick to the first!

Geez there are some right sickos out there

why? Its their livlihood, a chance to earn some money

I have visions of long queues waiting to get in with loads of people trying to figure out how to get their tickets on their phone!

I was gonna ask if he had a canoe!

Makes it even more important to highlight the positive, Berwicks good sportsmanship.

Fair play to them from a sporting point of view

It was a shame, I was gutted for him at the time, but the regs are written in such a way that the onus is on the athlete to check anything before taking it.

Thanks Fromafar!

Night nurse contains pseudoephedrine so it would cause a positive drug test. There are plenty of things - especially cold and hayfever remedies- that can potentially cause a positive drugs test. The Scottish skier whose name escapes me was stripped of an Olympic medal for using vicks. Btw, I definitely would not trust google as 100% accurate, I'll stick to the 4 years of study and exams I did for that lol. Basic rule of thumb, if its not on the NHS or BNF websites check them instead! You are 100% right though, we have to wait and see what the more detailed analysis shows and take it from there

Zapain is just branded Co-codamol, they are the same drug

Unless it has changed in the last few years, I can confirm that the riders get a list of items they cant take and the substances they need to look for in OTC medication that they cant take. I got a copy of one from a rider when I was doing my pharmacy exams quite a few years ago

I can download it fine Phil, could it be to do with the permissions?

Thanks! I just couldn’t get his name there. For the record Mike Bennett wo easily lol
