21st century heathen

Well the first G.P. is almost upon us so let's have your final say before the action starts. Taking into consideration current form/injuries give me the one name who's going to win it. Not who you want to win, but who you think will win it.

The odds have changed again :roll: www.willhill.com Ignore that I was looking at the wrong one.

Prices are now available for the G.P. How about these for starters, Gollob 14/1 Nicholls 14/1 N. Pedersen 25/1 Dryml 25/1 Richardson 33/1 Ulamek 80/1 If you can't see anything that takes your fancy there, a full list is available on William Hill website. There's a speedway link on the left, then use the drop down menu centre screen towards the top. www.willhill.com

You could try standing on the seat Joanne. I'd like to see Scott and Lee dominate but realistically I think there may be just one place left in the final. Gollob is almost always flying in Poland, Tony always steps up a gear for the G.P.'s and Crump is going well. (when he turns up :roll: ) It would be nice if the order was mixed up a bit like the first few races of the F1 season. It's possible Scott, Lee, Greg, Leigh, Nicki or Ryan could make it to the final and squeeze the others out.

I'm tempted to say what a c*ck up. (if you know what I mean) :!:

Good shout . If Deano can keep this up he is definately worth a wildcard. He got to stay fit though. That's always been a problem though hasn't it. :-(

Crump can be truely awesome but he's got a habbit of spitting his dummy out, throwing his toys out his pram etc. This screws his head up and he makes an almighty cock up somewhere along the line. If he can cut that out he will push Rickardsson all the way, no doubt about it. As an outside bet I've £5 on Richardson. It's going to be a hell of a battle for the top five places. There really is very little to choose between the top guys at the moment. Can't wait.

T.V. cameras undoubtedly slow the action down as the camera is following the bike/car. A fixed camera over the start/finish line would give a better idea of the speed as they flash throught the frame. It would also help with close finishes. I agree helmet/bike cameras should only be used for playbacks. I would also like to think Sky have enough experience with speedway to be able to follow the action, and not just the leader.

There has to be a way of getting cameras on the bikes, or riders, that works. Look at the footage you get on F1 now. They have multiple angles on a vehicle that does 200m.p.h. and relys on streamlining for it's speed. Still they found a way, for the benefit of T.V. not the teams or drivers, to make it work. The cameras have an automatic rolling film on them, to maintain a clear vision, so surely the only problem would be the stability of the camera.

Just checked and tickets are now listed as being issued. Hopefully they'll be waiting for me at home. ...and they were!!! YIPPEEE

Assuming you ordered online, you should have had an E-Mail Way Ahead confirming the details of your booking, and giving you a reference number. :?:

You're obviously in favour. I've just checked my order online, and it still says they are waiting for the tickets to come into stock. :-(

Sorry! Couldn't resist after all that arguing last week.

Are you sure cause when I looked it was

I'll let you know if I go. :-( I'm allergic to dogs :-(

No, I'm still here (just didn't get around to replying ) Kinky Oooo threesome :!: Some people just don't raise their kids right I do live about a mile from Monmore though Sure, if I go :?: I can see I'm needed to defend my gender, and maintain a happy medium if nothing else. Or maybe not. You're hubby gets the thumbs up from me

Sorry about that 21st Century Heathen. Sometimes people let you down. I'm going on my own and I can do what I want with no kids nagging at me. Can't imagine them going around museums etc. Have you thought about going alone? Worth considering I suppose. I have a very bad habbit of becoming sullen and introspective when I'm on my own too long. Maybe though.

Sorry. I've been waiting for friends to sort themselves out, but it looks like it's not going to happen. :-( If you want to know anything before you go though I'll be happy to try to help. (if I can remember)

Thanks both

Glad to hear it Jo. You'll love it. Looks like I won't be going after all though

I was thinking of the WC. According to SGP website Vojens is confirmed for the final. Is that still the case?

Hi Hanne You may be able to help me. (hope so) Which airport is best to fly to for Vojens? It appears to be quite a long way from Copenhagen?

And I thought my sense of direction was a bit off :!: I caught the 22. It's a long street with shops either side, lined with trees. Thinking about it, and trying to activate my failing memory, I think I caught th 18 back and it dropped me nowhere near my apartment. I had to walk about half hour. Didn't mater though cause it's such a nice city I could wander round all night. Just follow the crowds. Whether you're looking around tourist areas or going to the speedway you'll find plenty of others doing exactly the same.

Sorry I'm probably not helping. Which line depends where you're going from. From where I stayed last year, at the top of Wenseles square behind the museum, I used tram 22. On the map I gave you the link for Wenselas square runs from Muzeum to Mustek but obviously not underground . Oh and just to confuse you even more it isn't a square :roll: Clear as mud :!: :!: :!:

Sorry forgot to say on that link just hit blue link to map of public transport etc. Also for anyone who hasn't been to Prague they do random checks on your tickets so make sure you have one. Various passes are available. I think there is 1, 3, and 7 day passes and they are very cheap. You can use them as many times as you like and are valid on all public transport in the city. Validate it by stamping it in the machine, you'll see them at the metro stops, the first time you use it. It is then valid for however many days from that time.
