apologies to who i think may well have been shazzybird! i heard someone mention my name from outside when i was at the hotel reception. i wasnt being ignorant - im sorry! we were all starving and had about 2 mins to order food before the take away closed!

Twas indeed the bird - you could have come outside and shared your pizza though. :wink:

 

SullyRox, you were in the hotel lift with me with pizzas in your hand, well I think it was you. I was sent to my room to get beer for KevH, Shaz and Addy plus one other. They must think I look like a waitress

"One other" was bird's boy :wink: hey that sounds a good name for the bsf - what say you bird?

 

I'm glad you concur

Always have been a concurer. :wink:

 

Dunno what you saw in Tescos Kev, but I know who you saw outside! ?

:lol: You knew what I meant LW. :wink:

Then ... I got the cider and the wine :lol:

 

Pretty decent of the staff to let us party with our own drinks ... but at those bar prices ... :shock:

Or, buy a ticket, walk in throigh any gate you like, up any stairs you like and sit in any spair seat by a Pole.  I went in gate 5 (4th bend) but my ticket said gate 1 (2nd bend).  The guy on the gate just asked me if I knew where I was going, I told him yes and went and sat on the top tier. I walked past all the stewards and prentended I knew where I was going.

I went in thru my correct gate and sat in the right seat (block L39, bottom tier, second bend) but when I ventured up to the top tier on the 3rd bend to see some mates (bloody long walk and got lost twice) some evil stewardess wouldn't let me thru coz I wasn't actually sat up there myself :angry:

So I had to walk all the way back again, not impressed. I mean it's not like I was inconveniencing her was it??? :angry:

i'm a wee bit behind in this but here goes anyway...

 

had a suave time, with great company - Pammie (and loads of our non-forum pals), the Fairies, Chivs and family, Jay, etc, etc.

 

0830 flight from Edinburgh on the friday morning (yawn!), into Cardiff after a quick taxi ride and then off out for eats. an enjoyable / relaxing day followed but, er, we won't mention night time :blink:

 

Hotel - The Lodge by Macdonald. nice and close to the City Centre but, most bizarrely, we had a double bed in our room! it's the first time i've ever slept with a bloke :rolleyes: (also, hugely extortionate drink prices - tut tut!)

 

saturday - got up for brekkie and found i couldn't face food! eventually settled for a mug (or 2!) of hot water.

 

in the afternoon, we headed to the PoW. watched the football (Peter Crouch - legend!) before taking a brief (too brief!) trip outside while i waited on my food order coming back. good to see some familiar faces again, as well as some new ones.

 

then it was off to the stadium...

 

seat - almost same as last year. top tier, section U18, 3rd/4th bend = suave view.

 

Bonnie Tyler - very lazy vocalist. probably music's answer to Michael Coles. ie was capable in her day but should surely now know it's time to stop...

 

the rap - pretty awful. did they really sing "speedway player"? :unsure: and why are the riders playing football in the video?!

 

the racing - i enjoyed it (maybe cos i was sober?!). i'd probably put it 3rd out of the 6 held at Cardiff so far.

 

tube features - the joint worst performance by a Wild Card this season. nuff said.

 

Lee Richardson - p1sh.

 

unprofessional Scott 'red light' Nicholls - fell yet again in a semi final - will he ever get it right?

 

thought the ref was altogether dodgy, the only one he got right was excluding Hancock in the Final.

 

well done to Jason Crump on his win, and hats off also to Jaroslaw Hampel who won my mate some dosh on his each way bet!

 

sunday - as most folk were leaving, i spotted Joanne and Kev H, so i popped out for a quick hello...

"oh, it's Jamie... King Jamie" said Joanne

then, before i knew it, a blonde wifey chipped in with "Jamie Luckhurst fan" and i was standing there thinking "who the hell's that?!"

it wasn't long 'til i found out though - twas none other than the infamous Shazzybird :P (i presumed the mature chap in attendance was Uncle Ted but i wasn't brave enough to ask!)

 

all too soon, we were back at the Airport awating our (delayed) flight home. as i said, i had a suave time and, as well as Shazzy, i also met for the first time:

 

Jay (er, love the signature!!), Fat Tractor Man, Queen Bee, leavesomeforus, Gangsta Fairy, TNT133, Laura Fisher (i think!), Kat, Silver Cheetah (wasn't brave enough to speak to him though!), and i'm sure there were at least one or two others but i'm that old i've forgotten already :(

 

as they say, roll on next year...

My Dad says thanks for the compliment especially as there are a good few years between him and his brother :lol::wink:
