  1. Why don't you just copy and paste the same response after every GP? It would save time... Better still, you could go and watch Corrie instead, and leave us the hell alone...
  2. What "attacks"? I clearly said that I am wrong, didn't I? Bloody United fans...
  3. You really have to stop talking sense on here. The haters and idiots will be all over you...
  4. Well, I didn't think so, but apparently, we're wrong... Ask Daniel Smith.
  5. Doesn't matter what I say, does it? You're always convinced that you're right. So what if Bewley is a gating tart? So was Mauger. So was Fundin. Doesn't mean that he's not one of the world's top riders...
  6. Is your life REALLY that bad? You seem like a real miserable f*cker? Well, you're a United fan, so I get it...
  7. Again, this would have been a perfect night to send some juniors out for a few laps to help the track settle...
  8. Yup. Dump a few bags of sawdust down, put your overalls on, and we were good to go...
  9. If it makes you feel better, the parking prices for the 2023 Baseball World Series were $220-$320 - per game...
  10. Didn't we discuss the Bovril factory a few months ago? EDIT: Yes we did! Steve mentioned it back in March, but from what I could find, there never was one in Hackney. It seems that there was a Fray Bentos factory there, which could have been the source of the smell. Lesney had a large complex on Eastway, by Hackney marshes.
  11. Don't think he was a Sunderland specialist either. In 1964, he scored five points from four rides. As far as I can see, that is the only time he rode there...
  12. Yep, on June 21, alongside such notables as Bob Kilby, Sandor Levai, Roy Bowers, and Malcolm Simmons...
  13. Closest I've found so far was Glasgow (ironically) at Long Eaton in 1984, when three riders scored all but one point (1, and three ducks). Same for Coventry at Wimbledon in 1966, and Belle Vue against West Ham in 1967. All Belle Vue's points against Cradley in 1968 were scored by three riders, but as they were operating R/R, only three riders failed to score.
  14. Stats like that fascinate me! In fact, I think I even asked that question on here a few years ago? I'll have to do some digging...
  15. We didn't have Social Media back then, so it wasn't mandatory...
  16. You sound like me! I find stats and facts "interesting", and I would class myself as an anorak! However, I think it's stupid when people always claim a definite correlation between facts, like "He only won because it was at...", and, "They wouldn't have done that if it was at...". Just because Alan Emmett was top of the Div 1 averages in 1973 doesn't mean he was the best rider...
  17. Good thing the World Final wasn't held at Wembley every year, eh?
  18. I loved Old English Spangles. I always wanted a bike and sidecar. Still do, actually... I remember prefabs. I remember the National Anthem played when the telly closed down at night. I remember when we had speedway in London...
