Yeah, Woffy's a spent force...

I still have the programme from when I went to the Martin Hewlett Memorial...

Yes he did; it was due to his green leathers. I saw him a few times, and he was fun to watch...

Couldn't have said that any better...

We also had the unusual sight of Doyle getting a warning...

To be honest, he should have been out in the semi. He moved, as did Woffy, yet nothing was done...

But we were told he already had everything sewn up???

Probably a good thing it went when it did; could have been bad at full speed down the straight. Dan obviously got a whack in the chest as it was...

Not something you see every day...

Not just publications - everything. I have a few modern bigraphies and the like, and I really have trouble reading them; most look like they have been written by a 10-year-old. As for websites, well... There is hardly a website I check that doesn't have appalling grammar or spelling, and that includes "legitimate" news sites like BBC, CNN, and most of our local TV and newspaper sites. It has to be the result of educational standards declining - partially - but a lot of it just comes down to laziness, and a lack of pride. With all the technology available, it has never been easier to spellcheck, so why are there so many mistakes?

Must admit, I think I only saw him once; at the Division Two Riders Championship at Wimbledon in 1972. He was pretty impressive that night...

Quite agree; we shouldn't stream anything. Why would people want to watch it? Shouldn't be televised either. Come to think of it, shouldn't have spectators; do it behind closed doors. There, solves everything...

Then don't...

Well, you won't have to worry about him for a couple of weeks; he's on time out again because of his museum posts...

Well, I checked it out, and under "Requests for Help", it said they wanted info on Charles "Ballisent". Underneath that, it said they wanted info on Charles "Bellisent". Which one is correct, or could it be Charles "Bullisent"?

NO THEY WERE NOT! How many times have you been told about this? They are simply an attempt to disrupt the forum, and annoy people...

This is on the wrong thread - unless you just want to go ahead and paste the link onto EVERY thread on the BSF?

I loved those! In my parents' scrapbooks, there are dozens of the old cartoons and caricatures.

What saddens me is that he seems to be PROUD of acting that way...

Moving on from the Memorabiiia thread, I'd like to narrow it down a little... Obviously, many of you have a wonderful collection of programmes, so what are your favourites? Unfortunately, my parents got rid of a bunch of ours. Sad thing is that they were mostly from the 50's and 60's, including several World Final progs (such as Malmo '61). Of the ones I've collected, the ones that mean the most are: Wimbledon vs Swindon (May 27, 1976). This was the week after Tommy was killed, and was the meeting that actually got me going to speedway again. The previous meeting I'd attended was the 1975 Laurels, which Tommy won. European Junior Championship 1984 (King's Lynn). I managed to get it autographed by Jozef Petrikovics and Oleg Volochov! However, my main memory was Leif Wahlmann's tragedy, and his remains the only fatal crash I have seen. 1969 World Final. This was the first World Final I attended, and I still remember it like yesterday...

Because he is John Hyam?

And that's unusual how? To be honest, I would have thought it was better to be remembered as a respected speedway journalist rather than as a moronic, insulting troll intent on acting like a child...

This post appears to abide with current debate taking place on YEARS GONE BY?

No it doesn't - regardless of how many times you repost the same nonsense.

Not as funny as a punch in the throat...
