He was probably given an advance by the publisher first that's normally how it works, I don't suppose any newspapers will be queuing up to serialise it as that's usually another way of making money on a book

In an ideal world Stewart Dickson would be my choice but as you say I doubt he'd want it

it wasnt me who bought the sandwich I didnt go this year due the costs

only small bags allowed inside the stadium as far as I know .usually checked by security

I've driven to Cardiff once before and its not something I want to do again & I'm certainly not prepared to drive from the Scottish Borders to South Wales and back on the same day , so staying over is my only option

Not everyone stays within driving distance of Cardiff and some have to stay over at least one night

Who actually decides who the wild cards are & How much influence does " Monster Joe " have ?

Can't disagree with any of that

As he's current world champ I'd say Tai is deserving of a wild card pick when you take into account his injury. Personally I wouldn't give Hancock one I think it's time to move on the series needs some new blood , I don't think Robert Lambert has done enough to justify a pick , Fricke however my have caught the eyes of those who decide who gets the nod for next year

Why has Dick all of a sudden started blaming the Edinburgh Evening News for the infamous quote about Jye's abilities?

With the same ref ?

Is Nico Covatti available ? He was the original guest wasn't he ?

From my viewpoint on the back straight there was no way both riders were going to get round the bend Cook had to much speed and just kept going out . I don't think I've ever seen Jye as riled up as that ever before

I the Cook has taken over the mantel previously held by Ryan Fisher , IMO we could do with some more of the pantomime theatrics it gives the crowd a lift

What time is ht 1 likely to be ?

I hope he finds some better form after tonight's row of duck eggs at Poole.

I think I can remember reading about that particular one

Can understand the ruling if it's two riders on the track but it's a bit odd when it's just one rider . Strangely enough I was discussing with a friend last night how you used to see wheelie competitions at meetings at one time, I guess that's another thing that's disappeared a bit like mechanics races and such like
