Liontamer Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 You're getting old Lt. I loved it all, especially the accordian music as it's played regularly at Coventry. You really must break the habit of a lifetime and come and see us at Brandon then you can have a little dance around the terraces to the music. Hi Gem, I admit it, I've finally turned into a fully paid up grumpy old git. Mind you, Nikki P's exclusion didn't exactly put me in a good mood Grrrrrrr!! I'm trying to rid my mind of the mental image I've got of Colin Pratt & Peter Oakes dancing round the Coventry pits to the accordian music in their lederhosens & slapping each others bottoms "shudder"........I think I'll delay my return to Brandon for a few more seasons. BTW, were you & Ray abducted by aliens on Saturday? I saw you outside the POW & made my way over to speak to you, but when I got there you had both dissappeared.......& strangely the same thing happened to False Dawn although I did get to chat to him at the bar.

Sir Jasper Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Was anyone else as disgusted as I was at the insult to Barry Briggs on Saturday being asked only to present the 3rd place award? For someone of his standing in the sport to be upstaged by a couple of nonentities, improperly dressed in one case was degrading. Shame on you. Oh dear Emil went after Scott because Scott had pushed him. Emil was talking to Scott first off. Scott made it physical Emil reacted. Nicholls tried to ride off a few times, you can see him shaking his finger at him, Emil then carried on with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How ridiculous - Why should he even be presenting anyway? Or are you one of these people who thinks someone who is world champion should automatically be entitled to an MBE??? (which is stupid as surely the honour is in getting the world crown in a chosen disipline - although MBEs seem to be given out like sweets to anyone who rows a boat or rides a bike and gets a gold medal ) The non entity you talk of was the marketing manager of the event sponsor Rockstar energy. So I think they should have a presence. Especially as they wouldve paid quite a bit of their budget on the event. He wasnt improperly dressed either - if youve seen podiums for other motorsports - they dont normally wear suits....and he was promoting his company. Where Mr briggs in concerned many riders have kept him in pocket through his retirement do we really owe him anything else? He was most likely there wined and dined and hoteld for free Edited June 30, 2009 by snapper-racing.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulco Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 I hate the song due to my dislike of the monarchy and the whole idea of the union. The original tune was meant to of been from a Scots song. As you say too late to go looking for thngs just now. You hate our head of state , defender of the faith and head bluenose . To the tower with you boy . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper-racing.co.uk Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 TBF - If I had been born in Scotland, with all the bad history between England and Scotland over the years, I'd call myself Scottish and not British too. Just like I don't like the French - not because of anything a frenchman has personally done, more because it's a dyed-in-the-wool, deep seated feeling, probably due to the 100 years War. I hate the French too but at the moment they have a reprieve due to the Ban the Burka statement from big nose Sarkozy last week. I think its the fact they hate anything that isnt French - and wont accept we have a superior language... and Paris is a hole lol. French chicks - well thats a different story Always had a thing for that Virginie Ledoyen (The Beach) and Eve Green (Casino Royale) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snyper1010 Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 (edited) Snapper I find it had to embrace being "british" because i aint "british" what dont you understand about that? I was born in Scotland to Scottish parents. They were also born in Scotland to guess what.......... Scottish parents and as far back as i have been able to trace we are Scots in Scotland. You say we will fall flat on our arse without England. Ha, anyway. Its ok for you to hate the French yet i hate the union and you get all upset. Gie yersel a shake. The Monarchy, where did i say down with it? I said i dont like it. I didnt say change it. Anyway it wouldnt make any difference at all if the UK had a Monarchy in place as they have no power anyway. They are merely a tourist attraction, no more no less. I dont know if i have missed anything from your post if i have i apologise.

mervjankefanclub Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Its like the football though - I guess you want England to lose all the time - even though I as well as most England supporters would probably say if we were knocked out we would support scotland - door doesnt seem to swing both ways. Not too sure about that statement, snapper. I believe the majority of English love to see the Scots beaten, just as much as the Scots love to see the English beaten. Personally it doesnt bother me one iota, I support both Scotland and Britain (Olympics etc.) and am proud to be both Scottish and British. But I certainly wouldnt support England in certain sports, most notably football. But that is mostly down to the way the arrogant media ram it down our throats up here, the way they are going on there doesnt seem to be much point in any other country turning up in South Africa next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't give a fig about Andy Murray after he wore an Ecudaor shirt prior to England playing them in the Footie World Cup, so not really bothered if he loses. On the flip side, I spend two hours in a pub in Cardiff with about three hundred mostly Welsh cheering the lions on , on Saturday- Was a great atmopshere pity about the result Edited June 30, 2009 by tyke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 BTW, were you & Ray abducted by aliens on Saturday? I saw you outside the POW & made my way over to speak to you, but when I got there you had both dissappeared.......& strangely the same thing happened to False Dawn although I did get to chat to him at the bar. Sorry Lt. We just walked by to see if we could spot anyone but didn't stay as I desperately needed to find somewhere to sit in the shade. Ended up like dossers on some steps for about an hour. I still live in hope you will turn up at Brandon one evening this season and just to encourage you ........ it's the same DJ there as Cardiff.

Skider Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 I had the unfortunate seat in seeing the trouble, sadly it involved messrs flint,cooper,tully,summers,robertson,mckinna,k morris and the entourage, im not sure if they started it but the stewards and police were involved, why is that these idiots are allowed into the stadium full of drink, there was young children in the crowd that witnessed this happening, these speedway riders and so called speedway riders should hang there head in shame.This was on the top tier of the stadium and could have caused a disaster. Many other fans filmed and took pictures of this so hopefully they will post them on the forum. Disgusted DRK get ur eyes tested u bloody bifkin none of these ppl were involved in this trouble 3 of them were involved in stopin it and tellin the stupid welsh idiots who started it wot complete arses they were so DRK i suggest u stop these slanderes accusations ur bein more of a D*k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
