gp challenge 2020
Grand Central replied to spiegal's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
KK... Could it get more sh!t. -
Just about every World Champion there has ever been will have had a first bend crash at some point in their career, perhaps even in the very year in which they go on to win the title. Only Jerzy ever gets lampooned for doing so.
-
If the 1973 championship had been held in a similar fashion to that being implemented for 2020 then good old Jerzy Sczazakiel could have shown that he too could win over a grand prix format.

Yes two nights in Prague ... One for Speedway and one for everything else that Prague can offer ... Is always the best way of doing it. Just because BSI may choose to spread their GP as thin as wartime marg over two nights (at double cost) is no reason to go to both when you in such a fantastic city. -
Cardiff 2020
Grand Central replied to a4poster's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Don't misunderstand me ... I love Cardiff, only missed twice, for weddings . But I don't think it has ever got close to 50k, and being fair I don't think BSI have claimed so. Sometimes it has been said to have tipped over the 40k mark, but I don't think that is full full priced payers though. A very creditable 35-40k is nearer the mark. And nothing like a white elephant -
Cardiff 2020

Glasgow have set the bar too high for BSI. -
Very sensible and mature decision by the Glasgow Management tonight. And they are to be applauded in the honest and open explanation of how they came to make it. Very bad news nonetheless.

Cardiff 2020

Unfortunately, whether delivering good news or bad, BSI press releases are always written in that oh-so-gushingly positive Ad-exec's version of Newspeak. No fibs are ever told. But the Chiswick-worldview is almost always comically spun, like pink candy floss. Ever so sickly. -
Continually annoyed by Curtis Sport stuff ... Spoiling some of my enjoyment of the excellent work being done everywhere else in the mag.

Could not agree more. I have not needed any of the assistance offered as I have friends/family who have been able to meet our needs; but others I know have made use of the support and they report only positive things. In addition as a small business owner i cannot fault the various types financial assistance we have had, so far, and the excellent way the claims processes have worked.

And yet NHS Scotland is held up - in some quarters - as being so much ahead of that awful Tory-run English version. I am happy with the Sassenachs.

It may well be. But I think we (who are the ones who HAVE received shielding letters) were trying to inform the group of actually how it is working in practice. Which seems to be somewhat different to what you and others have imagined.
-
My letter went missing some weeks ago ... It was about five pages long recommending 12 weeks shielding plus all the information on food parcels and mental health assistance. I have no memory that the word 'vulnerable' was ever specifically used. The terminology was that as I had a significant health condition I had been identified as being more likely to require hospitalization if I contracted the virus and would be more likely to suffer more serious complications as a result. I know they letter was modified later in April to set shielding to June 30 for those identified later by other protocols, but it is standard letter that every one chosen gets.

Yes. I only mentioned my age, because it is my age !!
