Hasn't stopped you in the past Steve!

I know who I'd like to whack in a freezer!

I did come across a book about the History of Hull Speedway when in a second hand book store a couple of years ago now. You may still be able to obtain a copy?

I was at Bridlington yesterday and there were many people exercising their dogs on the beach...I guess walking the dog will be very much more restrained from now on. Not sure how I'll be able to exercise my friend's dog now. Life has just turned upside down. I will certainly be curtailing my movements from now on but the dreaded food shop is still on the agenda and I ain't looking forward to it. Trouble is having watched the news it's the usual thing...many people basicallly raising a thumb to their nose snubbiing any advice given and spoiling it for the rest of us.

What is it with the lack of crumpets? It's not as if people can stock pile them...defies logic to me but I've given up trying to get into the minds of the masses (not that I want to even go there in fear of what I might find!)

Welcome back Steve!

Good luck norbold...I'm having to monitor my mother's movements and it's going to be very stressful for both of us.

Yes I'm sure we will be seeing massive moves in the way that you have suggested. I'm due my weekly shop tomorrow and I'm not looking forward to it!

I've just come back from a spot of birdwatching and trust me to share a hide with someone who was deaf and admitting that he had left his hearing aid at home and insisted on coning over to me to speak showing me images that he had taken on his camera...he meant well but I couldn'y believe my luck!

I'd never met, or indeed heard of him, but judging by the comments on here he seemed a top man. RIP

I know...I had the same problem at Morrisons! How can one stock crumpets? Apparently there are lots to be had in Berwick!!

...except I won't be able to enjoy watching steam trains on the NYMR (also closed) but that's a small price to pay.

I'm a pretty miserable old git so solitude is not a problem for me personally. Fishing and bird watching trips and walking my friend's dog in the countryside and indoor pursuits like my model railway, editing my vast collection of photographs, watching films from my vast library of DVDs, catching up with my reading and family history...as well as wasting valuable time on the BSF!

I intend getting more fishing in...totally isolating pastime!

I personally think that Troy Butler could have gone further in the sport but he never looked totally comfortable around Cowley although he did register some good scores during 1989 and was often our trump card. Was at Brandon in 1985 when he scored a majestic 11 points from the reserve berth during a KO tie...sublime performance!

...and Oxford stuffed them twice handsomely at Owlerton during that glorious season of 1986!

Have to say Sid he was a great exponent of the lost art of team riding a colleague home (certainly what I saw of him whilst riding for Oxford) unlike some others that I could mention...Rickardsson in particular!

...and I remember that they gave Ipswich a shock at Foxhall Heath by winning the First Leg of the KO Cup (sadly missed tournament in my view) and the second leg was a mere formality when they went on to win the cup!

Jim had retired when I first went but at least I got to see him at Cowley when he turned out for Australia against Poland during the Daily Mirror Tournament in 1973. A class act!

Certainly is to my mother.

Trouble is that is how many people follow the news and the media play on it.

Exactly and how will it be administered?

Will people be expected to prove their age if 'caught out and about'?

Quite. Can't expect those over 70 remaining isolated for goodness how long.

...and we've yet to enter the hay fever season. I used to sneeze on a regular basis during my time spent at Oxford working with locusts. Dust and allergens a plenty raising and studying the little critters!
