Newcastle, Sunderland, and Belle Vue...

Exactly! People just get something in their heads, and can't consider any alternative. Most of us (not all of us, apparently) would rather see four riders in a race, rather than just three or two. It's okay to punish a rider or team for a starting offence, but why should the fans be punished by being forced to watch races with riders missing?

Oh, I get it - so make it 30 yards...

So you want 3 - or 2 - rider races?

Yeah, I saw that on Facebook earlier. Not that I ever recall seeing him race, but very sad all the same...

Did you need an interpreter?

I hate to say it, but I have to agree with you. I personally know - and have known - many, many indivduals who have suffered major strokes and other life-changing events. I will admit that quite a few of them are a "little different" to what they were pre-stroke, but not one of them has turned into such a totally bitter and unpleasant individual.

Sadly, there are a lot of people who seem to feel that way these days...

Write really small, and nobody would notice the difference...

Not that I disagree with the above, but I find it amusing that the "SWC" has been around for years (under that name), yet every year it's a totally different format!

I'd tell him that you are Peter Collins, and want to get a couple of hundred copies for your mates for nothing...

Ah, I'm so glad you mentioned that! I almost did earlier! Yeah, I loved watching that...

When it comes to things like that, very few accounts are true, preferring to let personal opinions get in the way of facts!

Strangely enough, while I am an avid reader of non-fiction, biographies/autobiographies are one of my least favourite subjects. I have a number of biographies about the composer Frederick Delius (I find him a fascinating individual), but other than that, I have read very few. As far as speedway goes, the only ones I have read are Briggo (the original), Kenny Carter, Tommy Jansson, and Chum Taylor.

Hmmm... Not a show I remember? Then again, I was only 3 or 4 at the time...

And Anders Michanek caused problems in the weightlifting. Because he is round-shouldered, he was physically unable to lift the bar the same as other competitors.

You're just biased, Steve...

Funny, I was thinking that myself...

Who has the biggest arse, though?

Agree... "Another Rock and Roll Christmas" is still one of my all-time seasonal faves. I'm a little torn, but I still listen to his greatest hits.

There are probably some in a hole, too...

Why don't you write one yourself?

I only went there once, on Royal Wedding Day in 1981. Simmons and Anderson Eriksson got a last heat 5-1 over Joe Owen and Billy Sanders to a draw!

The Boulevard at Hull was the one that scared me because of how narrow it was!
