What a pleasure every time Greg is interviewed. He is such a gentleman and always remains upbeat. All the best Rob

You obviously didn't see the 2007 German GP then. Best feature of last night wasn't the racing. It was Johno's commentary. Comments such as: "I was in the middle of an important comment there when he fell off. That was a bit selfish of him." Brilliant. All the best Rob

But, my Old Mongol friend, if Olsen "ratifies" surely that does indeed given him the final choice. Do we know for sure if Ljung was the Swedish choice and not Olsen's? And surely the Swedes don't get the choice for this round in any case - it's the Scandinavian Grand Prix, is it not? In the past, non-Swedish riders have been the wildcard for this round, surely the Swedes wouldn't have picked a Dane or a Finn? All the best Rob

Subedei - the ultimate choice of wildcard is down to Ole Olsen not the Swedes. I would have thought you would know that. All the best Rob

Parsloes, It was last staged in 1981, when it was rained off on its traditional May date and restaged in August. Hans Nielsen was the final winner. The following season (1982), the Internationale was scrapped and replaced by the £5,000 winner takes all Embassy Open at White City. It was a crap meeting on a very slick, with no passing, except in the run-off, where Dennis Sigalos passed Hans Nielsen to claim the money. It was the only time the Embassy Open was staged - with the competition mutating into the British Open Pairs. All the best Rob

How about the following Great Britain team: 1. Jason Crump 2. Leigh Adams 3. Chris Harris 4. Chris Holder 5. Tai Woffinden All the best Rob

Hmmmm, they seemed to leave a very patchy track, which helped cause Jason Crump's broken wrist. All the best Rob

How do you get 0.2 of a person? All the best Rob EDIT: Sorry, Peter, I know what you meant, but I was just imaging someone with their leg left through the railings.

Oh for goodness sake. Yes, Nicki is the Prince Of Darkness and we all love to boo him. But he did bugger all wrong last night. All the best Rob

More likely to be: 1. Denmark 2. Australia 3. Poland 4. Sweden All the best Rob

Subedei - get rid of that bloody avatar, you're Mongolian not bloody Polish. All the best Rob

All five riders were crap, so maybe they should have been called "Team Crap". All the best Rob

HA - I'm sure Scotland used to ride in the UK Round of the WTC in the mid-seventies along with England, New Zealand and Australia. Then the Yanks emerged and took Scotland's place. It was only in 1960-61 that the qualifying team was called Great Britain (a supposedly English team, but with Ken McKinlay in it ). I don't think the Aussies in 1976 or New Zealand in 1979 would like to be referred as Great Britain. All the best Rob

Paulco, Tully's Scottish isn't he? I reckon that lad could go a long way. But yes, you're right, England and Scotland should have seperate teams. And if your youngsters progress, hopefully we could have an England vs Scotland test series in the future. All the best Rob

And deservedly so - Stead was rubbishe tonight. Where was the passion? He was a disgrace to the British racejacket - he should never be allowed to wear one again. All the best Rob

I would still replace Nicholls. Give Danny King a chance. See if he rides with a bit more passion than Nicholls when representing his country. All the best Rob

And the 1973 Daily Mirror International Tournament was a huge success, culminating in a tense Wembley final, and attracted extensive national media paper coverage. All the best Rob

Frigbo, then stage the group matches across Europe - so there is a "home" team for each match. Speedway riders are used to travelling. All the best Rob

I've been a long-term advocate for a proper World Cup. The current system is a bit disatisfying, although the race-off and final are normally fair good meetings. But it would be far better having just two teams in each meeting and having team-riding, etc. That would be far more exciting than a 4TT format. All the best Rob

You can't use Airhorns at the snooker And what's wrong with snooker anyway - it's top television. Beats boring bloody tennis any day. All the best Rob

How can Nicki Pedersen be the biggest cheat in Speedway? He's only 5 ft 3. All the best Rob

Jacques - you just wait until the Czech GP - then you'll see... Anyway, with a top two of Nicki and Crumpie, I've got to have a couple of more economical riders in there somewhere. All the best Rob

Jacques, Yes, but you weren't reminding me earlier in the season that you were in front of me... Schumi was Anyway, once Lukas hits a bit of form, I'll easily make those four points up on you. All the best Rob

Hey, Lucifer Sam is not a cheapskate. Paulco had gone on a pub crawl with Pinstripe, and Seb had also temporarily disappeared. I couldn't be bothered to go elsewhere - and remained at the POW until well gone six. All the best Rob

Seb - don't worry, I've made a mental note that I owe both you and Paulco a pint. You'd both disppeared when I went to buy you one back. All the best Rob
