Currently looking for sponsors who can cater to me various bad habits, mainly Drugs, Alcohol & Loose Women. Also selling advertising space on me Shorts & Jackie Howe singlet ( http://or.essortment.com/legendsshearing_rvha.htm ) not forgetting the soles of me thongs, and trying to pick up part-time work as a stand-in for the Goodyear Blimp.

Definitely got the second part of the name right!! I would have given an arm and a leg (someone else's ) to get there! Next year for sure!!

Welcome to Reality, Bazza! I can't believe any of youse mob thought you had a chance! I thought Kennett backed out early anyway? You'll never never know if you don't give it a go!

No-one's upset anyone, there's only so many places in the team - I should imagine the top 4 picked themselves so it came down to a Coin-toss between Adam and Davey for the reserve spot while Noddy got in at 5 on the strength of his showings in the Ozchamps, the Under-21s World Cup and the SGP qualifiers.

Jon Erskine wasn't a shorta**e but 6'8" - Wow!

Thanks M8!

We all had to start somewhere - Goodonya Ivan.

Geez, that'd be right handy for Darwin. Just a hop, step and a jump away on Tiger Airways - Asia's Answer to Von Ryanair's Express!

Denis Gizatulin. Interesting to see Pepe beat Charlie Gjedde in a run-off for second and Lubos Tomicek beat Zdenek Simota in the run-off for 7th/8th (last qualifier/first reserve) Go Rooboy!!

Go ROOBOY!! Please let him know Ford won Hidden Valley will ya Sandie? Hopefully someone'll tape it for him.

I cannot tell a lie, today copious amounts of liquid refreshment have vanished into the Bottomless pit that is my Gut - just coming good after watching Hitman Hatton demolish Jose Luis Castillo! Plus some V8 Supercar Action at Hidden Valley - The Big Blue Oval taking out the meeting with Craig Lowndes two firsts and a third, YES!!! - setting meself for Donington tonight and an Aussie Boxed Trifecta - Casey Stoner, Anthony West and Chris Vermuelen. What's a week between friends?

Motala tonight (1600)

Of course - the other Brian!! G'day M8 - here's Cheers! Hopefully I'll catch up next season =- best start putting the beer on ice! Now let's see - a Pint of Gnatswasser for each Brian, and I'll have a Coupla Carlsbergs!

On Saturday morning they'll be showing the All Blacks /Wallabies game from Melbourne in the Tri-nations. All Blacks are in awesome form; if you saw the game against Seth Efrica last night Darwin Time you saw a Ripper! Highlight for me at Lonigo last year was finding a Bar with a big Screen for OZ/NZ - heap of Italians watching one Aussie go OFF! Big Battle up front between World #1 tight head Carl Hayman (NZ) and a rejuvenated Matt Dunning, while the Kiwi back row looks unstoppable, odds-on favourites for the Webb Ellis Trophy in September. I reckon you'd go well out here M8, apart from likin' Tooheys! GeddanicecoldCrownieintaya!

Ah yes, Ryanair! Because of their plane breaking down (one of the Hamsters in the treadmill threw a Fetlock) I missed my return trip to Oz & had to stay in Pommyland an extra week! - celebrated with as crawl of Walkabout bars! Great GP - remember Crumpy kicking seven kinds of rubbishe outta Nicki P on the Start /finish straight?

Thanxx, M8!! Go Johnno!! SWC team Oz has problems - Chris H. or Johnno?

There's a Walkabout Bar in St Mary's St. Bound to be chokka with Genuine Aussie P***- Heads - Ice-cold VB and Crownies, plus Jump Steak. Here Skippy!

Any News on Johhno?

Aha! Thanks Iris again., I've nailed that site on to me 'puter! Geez there'll be a proud bunch of Aussie dads over there as well - best to watch out for 'em! As fer you Tarabanko, not only is Poland a long way from Sweden, its a ******* long way from Darwin!! Hope there's not too many Dummy-spits!!

Thanks Iris. Thought we had six going round - that was all that was on Worldspeedway yesterday. Where's the other Qualifier(s)?

I think they all look pretty daunting.

From Worldspeedway: Due to a late request from the Russian Federation (MFR) and the Polish Federation (PZM), Russia will have two riders in this Gold Trophy and Poland one more, total of 8 riders. In order to accomodate them into the Qualifying Rounds, 3 more riders were directly seeded into the SF 1 and 2. They were chosen according to their results of last year Gold Trophy 80cc Final. The new Ballots for the 3 QR as well as the names of the seeded riders in the Semi-finals are below.

Go Robbie Kseizak!! Go Andy Bargh!! Lets get some Antipodean momentum going!!

Could not agree more Sliderman, so pleased for Chris; lets hope he can go all the way. Lay down misere for SWC. Will we see you in January for Ozchamps 2008? Be great watching the World champ Leigh Adams and the World under-21 Champ Noddy Holder!!

Back in my Newport days we always reckoned a Cardiff Virgin was a sheila that could run faster than her brothers!
