Vettel and Leclerc could use his engines...

I really don't know, but I was thinking about that too!

Don't you wish they could make a film that accurately replicates the look and the racing of pre-war speedway? They have managed it with most other sports, but to see something in HD colour that truly reflects that era of speedway would be incredible...

Sorry, I can't agree with you as I would probably be accused of "bum-licking"...

Yeah, when I think of all the tracks we had within a 90-minute drive, it's heartbreaking...

I try...

You thought, "thistle be fun"?

It's the small fin by the - anus. I just included that for effect... And don't lie! You can't lead a sheltered life in sarf London...

Really???

Personally, I think there are just too many pillocks in the world today!

Probably because you're not a greatly-respected and polite sports journalist...

Like Dorsal, Pectoral, Anal...

Careful! You don't want "daft old duffer" to get you banned...

I grew up regularly hearing the term for agents and the like as "Mr Twenty Percent", so yes, it's been common practice for years.

I thought gustix may be able to help with this, but we'll have to wait until Tuesday...

That was my first thought, but Yiannari is a Greek name, I believe...

I apologise if I misled you, but I was trying to inject some humour into the situation! My comment clearly went over your head. Just saying that you should be careful what you wish for... I couldn't agree more about uptight miserable idiots on here. They make claims and accuse people (with no real foundation), and when you just ask them to explain what they mean, they are offended. The BSF is supposed to be for recreational purposes...

Firstly, I wasn't the one that complained about somebody "having to have the last word" - and then posted a last word to say that... Defending a comment or post is not the same as defending an individual, and I'm sorry you cannot differentiate. I have been on the BSF for many years, and until this virus thread arose, I have had no interaction with Bwitcher at all, and I have no idea who he is. I just happen to feel the same way about the virus issues as he does (in particular the neglect of deaths from other ailments in much greater numbers). I also disagree (as others do) that Bwitcher's comment was directed at Ian's father, as was claimed.

You need to think again... I have my own thoughts, and am quite happy to post them, whether others agree with them or not. The fact that you suspect that everybody who doesn't agree with you is a "clique member" says it all... Over to you for ANOTHER "last word"...

If you won't like the answer, don't ask the question!

Oh dear...

I thought you got the ban because you ARE one!!!

Oh yeah! Steve and Mick Hines got into it at Wimbledon once after an on-track collision... Generally though, I don't think he ever went looking for trouble.

Serious question, John... What is it about people providing fact and real statistics that antagonises you so?

I went to a grammar school in Surrey, so it was exactly the same for me. In fact, a school friend of mine (he was a couple of years older than me) was Ian Skinner, who captained the England youth team! The only football we had was the "Pupils vs the Masters" annual challenge...
