Cant argue with that side. but if you base the team on performance s for the aces rather than what they achieved elsewhere (and while not an ace): Then mighty mort would have to come in for fundin, who only had one season as an ace. for a british league era aces side (minimum 3 seasons): Mauger ross sjosten morton collins maidment pusey pretty sure it is individual only (exc long track):I make it 17 also? Mauger 6 fundin 5 crump 3 craven 2 collins 1?

I think farndon faces three issues in terms of being recognised amongst the absolute greats.1. He didnt race in an era when there was a world championship, which is generally taken as the key measure of success 2. He was pre video footage being available to any large extent, so those of us who didnt see him race live cant hop on youtube and see how good he was (same applies to prerty much all ridera pre late sixties) 3. Not many still following the sport did see him live I think the first two are the key issues, so while you raised a concern about the likes of craven and moore being similarly "forgotten" im not sure they will because they were world champions. And from maugee collins etc. On there is pretry decent footage. Note: that's not to say he doesnt deserve to be acknowledged as one of the greats, just my thoughts as yo why he will often be missed from people's lists

what does finishing runner up in the aussie u21 champs have to do with being elegible for a visa,

I think top 15 of alltime is about right. I'd say a top five of mauger briggs fundin t rick and nielsen. then a next ten in no particular order of p collins craven olsen gundersen n pedersen hancock penhall moore j crump and young. Do u rate the longevity of hancock above the likes of penhall, craven or gundersen who could have won more titles if their careers had not ended while still in their prime? Hancock is certainly unique in having seemingly hit his peak only in his 40s. an absolute gent, and one of the greats for sure, even if not as spectacular as most (any,) of the others on the list above.

Was there a reason you didn't go with a unified german team? Muller, smoli, maier and riss would be a solid top four.

No

you certainly dont need to apologise. But you haven't been able to provide the grammar rule you think you are following when you use "an hotel" whereas others have been able to prove justification for "a hotel."Not sure how we got here from discussions on visas!

In grammar lessons at public schools do they teach you how to say things like "phwoooaaarrr Nige, super speedway!"Anyway, in light of them mis-leading you around "an hotel" maybe you can ger a refund?

that doesn't really answer the question. The fact that you were taught something doesn't necessarily make it right?

which rule of grammar is your basis for that claim? Both seem to be acceptable, but unless you are not pronouncing the "h" then "a hotel" would seem more correct.

I doubt aussie speedway riders could claim they are primarily based in australia when the uk speedway season runs for half the year? And they are not riding professionally in Australia? I know in australia foreign workers could claim accomodation as tax deductible for the first two years, but that was stopped a few years bsck.

I wouldn't even try to get starman to explain his logic.

its all on the twitter links that scb posted and you replied to.maybe middlo had just received some bad news and hadn't hydrated properly before tweeting?

scb put it up on this thread? and even explained to you that middlo was the one who had posted it when you seemed confused?

yes. I equally think its ridiculous that you can get the death penalty in some countries for possession of a token quantity of drugs. but if you are stupid enough to do the crime, you have to live with the consequences and expect the outcome to be consistent with others who have done the same.

middlo called someone retarded on twitter (might be Phillipsr but not certsin). You said you have no problem with middlos tweets.so, you think it is fine for middlo to publicly refer to a fan as retarded?

tbf to phil, he did say his point was regardless of whetherit was darcy or another rider.and it is ludicrous that fim take this long to decide things. thats not a darcy related statement, it's a general statement. But equally you'd expect people heavily involved in speedway to have some idea of these processes. a six month ban handed out in august may have seemed light,but would probably have been accepted by most as ok. But if handed out now, it will seem almost like ward has got off. would be interested to know the star's thoughts on a prominent team manager calling people "retarded" on twitter.

ah, so you're blindly defending someone, whilst having no idea of the facts. Where have we seen this before recently...

its posted earlier on this thread or the visa thread.criteria havent changed since about 2009

Which team do you believe he qualifies for?

of course a brit has won the world title more recently than any dane...

White city in 82 500cc. ironically he didn't manage to earn his compatriots any extra places.

a lot of poms I know moved to nz purely so they could get a kiwi passport and then move to aussie on that, as it was the only/easiest way to get into oz. Any easing of entry requirements would of course need to be reciprocal.

Agree with that norbold, in fact even now would be tempted to include nki. And possibly hans andersen at 8 ahead of arne. bo petersen and gert handberg would rate ahead of some on iris's shortlist imho.
