Time for Janowski to come to the party for the away team

 

 

Didn't happen. Could be a turning point.

As dear old Mandy Rice-Davis said " Well you would wouldn't you ? " :lol:

Actually it was 'he would wouldn't he?' Let's keep the record straight. ;)

I know. :lol: Plead poetic licence to make a point. :icon_smile_clown:

"He would, wouldn't he?"[edit]

While giving evidence at the trial of Stephen Ward, charged with living off the immoral earnings of Keeler and Rice-Davies, the latter made a famous riposte. When James Burge, the defence counsel, pointed out that Lord Astor denied an affair or having even met her, she replied, "He would, wouldn't he?" (often misquoted as "Well, he would, wouldn't he?" or "Well he would say that, wouldn't he?").[11] By 1979, this phrase had entered the third edition of the Oxford Dictionary of Quotations, and is occasionally abbreviated asMRDA ("Mandy Rice-Davies applies") or referred to as the "Mandy Rice-Davies clause".

Doubts have been expressed about the veracity of the quote, and no court transcript exists; nor were the words included in records kept by lawyers at the trial. But in her memoirs Rice-Davies insisted that the essence of the quote is accurate, and contemporary newspaper reports support her account, as did an investigation by the Guardian in 2013.[12]

Grasping at straws comes to mind.

 

Meanwhile back at the speedway that move by Tai Woffinden was worth a mention.

Can't see Torun nicking it with 2 5-1s Przedpelski's withdrawal didn't help. Fair play to Wroclaw.

Yep agree. Always have a soft spot for Torun as only venue I have attended as a spectator. Albeit the old stadium! (except for Bydgoscz in GP).
