I've always thought that about the gate.

Blown motors more like.

Dam. I've just bought my mate a pint to use his Sky Go.

Having been there. The start marshal brings the riders to the tapes, when he is satisfied that the riders are in line and stationary he drops his arms. He moves forward and the Ref puts on the green light. The riders are then under referees orders and the tapes then rise 1-1.5 seconds after the green light comes on.

If the green light's on it's time to go.

I wasn't referring to James but starts in general.

Surely it's not the ref's job to beat the riders? I think though that it's the rider's job not only to beat the opposition but to anticipate the ref releasing the tapes. If a rider moves (forward) but doesn't touch the tapes good on him, but if he moves and causes another rider to touch the tapes then the ref could exclude (or is it disqualify) him.

Heavy rain here, anyone know how it is in Glasgow?

That's a new name for it.

Don't think many at Glasgow will have much sympathy.

Want to cut costs? Ban the use of titanium!

Oh! Jolly hockey sticks.

Would he be Billy that Bobby Beaton called Billy Gillette?

At Shawfield the fence was never taken down.

Best wishes to Ivan and Rae on his retirement from public life. Thanks for the memories.

Haw Heedthebaw yer erse is oot the windae. There has to be an interval.

Just hope he doesn't take a front seat at Glasgow then.

All the best Havvy. Lang may yir lum reek.

It was the oldco who "sold" Morris. I must say that I think that it was wrong that Swindon could loan out Morris to another club when he was on loan to them.

Hes and cant should have an apostrophe. I.E. he's and can't.

I take it you like repeats then?

Good plug on Salvage Hunter on Quest T.V. when they visited the speedway museum at the Paradise Wildlife Park.

Strange that. On the Berwick page people think that Dick's past his sell by date.

Maybe Bellago would claim he's a Glasgow asset!

Old photo from Glasgow. Do you think someone's ancesters were Scottish?
