The White Knight

In an orchard I presume. Gainful employment though - he should be applauded.

You've had a lucky escape. Believe me - I know.............................................................

They were fighting for the right to secede from the United States. For Example: States Rights. Slavery only became a major reason after Lincoln's Emancipation Bill in 1863 a whole two years after the Civil War commenced. It was seen as a watershed time in the War. Lincoln needed a victory to introduce his Emancipation Act. He got that at Antietam in 1862. See below: http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/featured_documents/emancipation_proclamation/ Further Information below regarding the Battle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antietam_National_Battlefield

I didn't know that Briggo Sponsored TRick. :shock:

Yes!! The 'Black and White Minstrels' - I thought they were great.

I see what you did there foreverblue - very clever. :rofl: I thought it was funny anyway. :rofl: Does anyone on here regard Freddie Williams as a Legend. I do.

How do you know that? He has only been caught once - that I grant you.

I believe that to be so - yes.

Loved all those things on 'Children's Hour' 1700hrs - 1800hrs. I also enjoyed 'Journey in to Space (Monday-I think) and 'Meet the Huggetts' (Tuesday 2000hrs if my memory serves me right). I also loved 'Dan Dare - Pilot of the Future' (1915hrs every weekday night) on Radio Luxemburg. Not forgetting 'Peter Brough and Archie Andrews and the 'Navy Lark' on a Sunday afternoons. Great memories norbold.

Just look at the Track Record Section on here RD. Times are getting faster.

Whey aaye man. Ya reet theor Orson lad. :D .

I've said it before and I will say it again. Too powerful Bikes (circa: 2015) for the Tracks (circa: 1928) that they are expected to Race on. I'm just waiting for the first Jet bike. :shock: I'm only half joking. If the power were reduced we would see closer Racing and less injuries. I cannot prove that - but I honestly believe it to be the case. Who knows - more exciting close Racing may even bring some Supporters back?

Fair point PW - that can drag things out a bit - followed by the regulation stop Riding because of the state of the Track - that can drag things out a bit more - and then, of course, there is the cancellation of last four Heats. Yep - you should make the 2200hrs Train.

Surely this is just piggy backing on another Thread. I don't see much point in debating the Topic twice.

Do you remember Granny Grove, Lenny Grove and I think it was Diane Grove CHR? I remember all of those. Billy Bean and his funny Machine - blimey - that brings back memories. Not forgetting Jennings and Derbyshire of course - Great stuff. Brilliant Post!!! Thank you so much for this iris123. Only thing missing - Jam Roly-Poly. Plus Custard of course.

I never met shazzybird but I felt from a couple of Posts we traded a long while ago now that she was a really nice person. I only sensed that from her Posts. I never knew that she was ill and am so very saddened by this News. My thoughts and prayers are with her Family and Friends tonight. A beautiful original Post Sandie - Thank you for that. R.I.P. + 'Shazzybird'.

Sorry I spoke. I have a 19" Computer Screen and a 42" Telly. I don't know how to play one on the other - I am not very technical. I just thought I would give folk the benefit of my experience. I thought, obviously mistakenly, that was one of the purposes of this the Forum . Once again - many apologies. :rolleyes:

Well if he wasn't - he was bloody good!!

But sadly - they did!! :sad:

Looks so good you good lift it of the screen. Actually it's a bloody pity you can't - I'm hungry. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!! Eating the Pie 'n Mash would be infinitely more interesting than some of the Posts I have been reading on here of late.

I'd rather they won Dave. :D

This is superb. Everything a Speedway Supporter could want. Film of lots of the GPs, Old World Finals, Individual Events and other Competitions. I have just watched the World Final of 1972 and it brought back many memories for me. Credit to my Son for sorting this out for me. I can see me watching this regularly. Thank you to those who have put all this together.

What about Leigh?

You beat me to it.

I remember him. Not my favourite Referee.
