Do I need anamazon fire stick etc.I must add I'm using anamazon fire tablet to type this as my computer died last month do I need a working computer for any of this. -
I'm sure someone said on this forum a while back that grigori refuses to ride in the qualifiers because he feels he deserves a wild card so the FIM won't evenconsider him. I've no idea if that's true I just have a vague memory of someone saying it. MInd you I'm a bit vague most of the time.

rugby union, F1 cos a family member is part of hamilton's pit crew touring cars are more exciting though especially as there is now a connection to my beloved rockets. anyother sport as the mood takes me except football and cricket. one of the gripes on this forum about speedway is that you only get 15 minutes of action in a two and half hour meeting. how many seconds of action do you get in a 5 day cricket test match?

Should Tai Woffinden Ride For Team Gb ?
Cockney Rebel replied to robert72's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Drop him from the pairs. We can always use Craig cook And Robert Lambert that will teach Johnny foreigner not to run theirspeedway better than us. Is that polish or Danish laughter I can hear? Perhaps Australia won't pick Chris Holder and JasonDoyle cos they rideover here. AN absolutely crackpot idea -
Greg Hancock How Good.?
Cockney Rebel replied to stratton's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Wasn't the best ever rider when the champ howdy byford kept him in last place in a race at hackney in one match.Oh how we hawks fans loved that howdy was an old man then too probably about thesame age as greg hancock is now but he always looked like he was in his seventies must admit though haarfeldt was a very exciting rider. speedway couldn't get anybetter than the hackney/west ham matches. -
Grand Prix Or One Off World Final ?
Cockney Rebel replied to a topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
cardiff ia undoubtedlyexciting but imagine howmuch more excitingit would be ifthe worldchampionship was decided that night that's why us old timers preferredthe one off final theresnodoubt the gpsystem is fairer for the riders but nowhere near as excitingforthe fans tthatlaatprgrapph istrue but no different to a rider laying tenth or eleventh in the gps with three or for rounds to go under theoldone off system it took nearlythe wholeseasom to qualify for th final which is why it was held towards the end of the season and riders had to qualify each year noneof thisok youdidalright last year so you can have another gothis year or your country hasn't gotenough good riders toqualify so you're going in it that we get today. -
I don'tknow rixkfrost andthereforw hav no reaaaon to questionhis honesty or integrity however he was not forced to walk away from speedway if you read the article in the speedway star you will see it was a business decision to walk away based around the uncertainty of the sky contract which he believedwould hinder the chances of gaining any new sponsorship he did a good job at peterborough and it' a shame he decided to quit but it was his decision nothing to do with any other promoter or as far as i can see any dispute with the bspa they at least gave him enough timeo to find somone to take over I know it'a alway opnseason on the bspaBUT SOMETIMES A PROMOTERACTS FOR HIS OWN REASONSHICHISWHAT RICK DID IT'S A SHAME HE'S GONE BUT YOUCAN'T BLAME THE BSPA FOR EVERYTHING BAD THAT HAPPENS SORRY I DIDN'T MEANTOSHOUT ICAUGHT THESHIFTLOCK KEY BYMISTAKE I AMJUST RECOVERING FROMA A STROKE ANDMY FINGERS DON'T ALWAYS DOWHAT I WANT THEM TO.

Peterborough V Rye House 18 March Challenge
Cockney Rebel replied to Vincent Vega's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
or to put it another way someone considered the riders position and made a decision in his benefit ratherthan just sticking stubbornly to the ruleswithout cosidering the rider -
Who Was The Most Frustrating Rider?
Cockney Rebel replied to Ommer Mon's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Steve Lomas during his Hackney days. Couldn't score a point in the match then would come out and beat the opposing number one in the second half. Not just occasionally but every flippin week. Even uncle Len said we had a tail that only wagged in the second half. -
Which Rider Have You Never Taken To?
Cockney Rebel replied to phillipsr's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Two of my favourite Rockets but there were times on track when it looked like they didn't like each other. -
Speedway Star Toothless Pussycat
Cockney Rebel replied to robolots's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Blimey! That takes me back a bit. When I was about 8 years old I had a Highway Patrol outfit as a Xmas present, thought I was a real cool dude. Shame it doesn't fit me anymore. -
So presumably you never watch Only Fools and Horses, Blackadder, Vicar of Dibley etc as they are all scripted comedy shows. Mmm? Odd reason for not watching something which is, after all, a light hearted quizshow. It's not Mastermind or University challenge.
