Hey Homer, I sat next to Shazzy & she's a top bird. Between you & me I reckon she'd scrub up quite nicely. Anyway, why weren't you there? Next year, no excuses ok? If you do decide to turn up, mine's a large one, Oh & you can buy me a pint while you're there.

Right then, after drawing the short straw for the second year running I set off towards Rugby, to pick up Steve Turner & Phil, before heading over to Coven(gag)try to collect Fd & Fd Jr. Having loaded the car up we set off for Cardiff & Fd kept us entertained by telling us all about his racing successes. We then turned out of his drive (only joking mate),& with a cheery wave & a smile we set off for Cardiff. Unfortunately we managed to get lost before we had even left Fd's road (I swear it's true). Anyway, we composed ourselves & were soon on our way again. We overtook the Coven(gag)try coaches just before Monmouth, & I received a text message from Krissie saying they were at Monmouth services. Sadly this came through too late as we were already lined up in a layby having a slash as the traffic thundered past, so we had to decline the offer to join them (not easy to text with your hands full). After several heated discussions & a show of handbags or two,(the navigator had left his reading glasses at home), we eventually agreed that we should exit the M4 at junction 32 (a unanimous decision by four "yes's" & one "please yer f***ing selves, I couldn't give a f***"). Anyway, we found a cracking place to park about two minutes walk from the stadium, & no, we're not telling you where it is, had a sort of picnic (sandwiches, burps, farts & weeing up tree trunks), before heading off to Sam's bar. After the meeting we eventually made our weary (& in some cases slaughtered) way back to the car, stopping only to wee up a few more trees, before setting off at a leisurely bat out of hell pace back to Rugby, Coven(gag)try, & Leicester. Phil was snoring & dribbling down his seatbelt before we were out of the car park, Fd & Fd Jr were asleep before we were out of Cardiff, & Steve kept awake for the whole journey (I dropped off just before Birmingham, but don't tell the others). Anyway guys, it was eventfull to say the least, but I had a great day, & it was good to see you all again. Only another year to go before.............God, I need a drink.

Is he still managed by Joan Davies? Or has the blonde bombshell lost interest since buying himself a burger van?

Either that or he was just taking the p*ss.

Really sorry your GP didn't go according to plan Tb. I hope your mum is ok now. I'm glad we managed to meet up at last, & I enjoyed our little chat at Sams Bar. Best wishes, Lt xx

HER DAD!!! Cheeky %*$":!! If any mods are reading this I demand that this man is banned immediatly. Star Lady thought I was 70 odd, Rotski thought I was "an old man", & you think I'm Shazzies dad. Don't worry mate, I'll make sure I shake you warmly by the throat, er sorry I mean hand next time. Seriously though, it was nice to meet you even if it was from a distance. BTW, I was chatting to Shazzie's dad in the POW, top bloke.

Not these days. No not these days, Gollob has matured into a brilliant racer & hopefully Pedersen will do the same. I just find it slightly ironic that it should be Gollob slagging him off.

Pot/kettle.

I agree, I was very impressed by the look of the programme until I came to read it. Someone dropped a bo££ock big time.

A fantastic meeting, the fireworks get better every year, met up with a lot of forum members again, & many for the first time. Sat next to Shazzybird during the meeting & she, like all the other members I met for the first time was really nice. Most of the day was enjoyable, although I was very pleased to see my bed after arriving home at 2:30am. Trust me folks, it didn't take much rocking to get me off to sleep. Well done to all the British lads, especially David Norris who looked so fast all evening, & of course congratulations to Greg. Fantastic meeting, great entertainment, good company, & scorching hot sunshine, can it get any better? PS, apologies to those members who I didn't get properly introduced to (Nevsy was one), it wasn't down to ignorance, it's just that I'm naturally a bit quiet. Oh & apologies also to those forum members who's sex I got completely wrong before. Finally, on bahalf of the Lt travelling roadshow, sorry if anyone was upset during the course of the evening. Cheers guys.

Look, I've told you a million times before, don't exaggerate.

Did I ever tell you about the time I fell over Norman Wisdom in a pub?

ALL TOGETHER NOW.."My my myyyyyyy Delilah, la la la la la l......" What? Oh sorry, I forgot about the hangovers.........

Err, excuse my ignorance but WTF is Javine? Why don't they just give everyone a paper & comb when they enter the stadium & let us make our own entertainment.

See you all outside Sams bar at about 2pm. For those who haven't met me before I'll wear a carnation in my hair.

Be honest mate, you threw your scrabble letters in the air & typed what landed on the board, didn't you........didn't you?

Yeh, we're all having a vindaloo supper the night before.

Alf Roberts had a shop too.......didn't ride speedway though.

I'm staying in the pub, & I'm not coming out 'til start time.

Last time I tried that I spent 3 months in traction.

Duh......ficko

Actually, the following are taken from the speedway regulations (2000 edition but I assume they still apply): Section 11.39: Mudguards must project laterally beyond the tyre on each side. Section 11.40: A front mudguard must extend at least 5degrees ahead of a vertical line running through the centre of the front wheel axle & for an "upright" engine overlap the top edge of the engine guard by at least 5 degrees. A rear mudguard must extend at least 5 degrees behind a vertical line running through the centre of the rear axle. Section 11.40.1: Both front & rear mudguards must not have sharp edges. They must be made of material that will not cause injuries when deformed. etc. So Nikki has every right to complain if the regulations are not adhered to. Also, whilst I have always thought that Tony Steele is the best ref around today, he did, in my opinion make more than one wrong decision last night, & Tony Millard, for all the stick he receives (unfairly in my opinion), was the only one with the balls to say the ref bottled out. Well done Arfur.

You beat me to it garf (git). Face it girls, speedway riders don't keep a hanky up their sleeves, they keep oily rags in their toolboxes. Anyway, a bit of snot & sweat never hurt anyone, it's speedway not morris dancing.
