Sorry to report the passing of Derek Timms after a short illness.
He was a great servant to the sport and rode for many teams over the years, Cradley probably being his most well known.
He was a smashing bloke and will be sadly missed by all who knew him.
They both have talent in spades, they'll do a job at the heart of the club, that's for sure.
I'd fit puns about jokers and packs in too, but I'd probably get decked.
A point well missed, just watch the way some riders treat their own national anthems, wherever they're from. I've watched them chatting to each other whilst theirs was playing.
Disgusting isn't it?
He did well to come back from the broken leg he sustained in the ISDT in Czecho in 1972. I remember there being a right old rigmarole to get him back over here.
I also heard that he did the Cadbury's ad in one take, telling the director where to go when he asked him to do it again.
Well I've been away most of the weekend, so I recorded the GP along with all the other 2 wheel action on offer. I watched MotoGP first, where there was some great racing and plenty of Brit success. Some good stuff in WSB too.
Then I watched SGP................................
I now need a new fast forward button on my Tivo remote. Not happy.
