The White Knight

What - about the apples? :D ................... or perhaps he likes Cider. For those of a Frog persuasion - Cidre. :rofl:

Very true - but it was not the main cause of the War. As regards the Battle Flag - I view it as just that. I have said before, a lot of people fought and died under that Flag and it should be honoured as such. The fact that White Supremacists have taken it as there own does in no way devalue what the Battle Flag means to some folk in the South. I have already stated that the flying of the Flag from Public Buildings should be banned - it is a shame but the association with Racism is etched in some people's mind these days.

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?
