Subedei Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 Think you might want to read your reply as its WRONG. Best you carry on collecting the trolleys at tesco. The word plank of wood comes to mind. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Indeed, a slight error on my part. But what's wrong with collecting trollies at Tesco? Beneath your status, just like qualifying is beneath your hero's princely status? Sorry, but I don't look down on anybody because of their work. And, for what it's worth, I don't work for Tesco, I work in the construction industry. No doubt this is another industry you look down your nose upon.

As for hero he is just a kid who rides a bike quite well as others do. No problems with the construction trade as they pay me quite well but normally always late. Back to the british gp, its greatttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDY69 Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 (edited) I've done okay for myself over the centuries. And, excuse me, but failed to qualify for 2005, failed to qualify for 2006 and failed to qualify for 2007 - that surely counts as failure. If it's your idea of success, then your "pretty well" might not be so grand as you imagine. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> To me all the riders have failed, except the ones who have won the world title - that is what they are all competing for and some have failed for several years. However for me it is exciting racing (and teamwork at club level) that I watch speedway for - I couldn't really care less who has a higher average than who, who gates better than who etc. (gating and remaining in that position for the rest of the race is generally extremely boring to watch). I will continue to support the Cardiff GP because at present it is the best supported of the series and British speedway needs this accolade/support for its international standing. I can watch all the others on TV but the atmosphere over the whole weekend is great and it's only a few hours driving to get there. The racing also provides plenty of incidents/talking points and the track ensures that riders cannot just blast round smoothly at full throttle, as you can on some of the tracks.

I think it is just a fun day to be had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
