Baldyman Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 I don't watch any tv apart from sport and the odd real life programme I'm a proper freak. I've never seen the news or read a newspaper either. It's probably why I'm a speedway supporter, cos i don't fit in with the norm. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 I dont see a comfortable night for the Witches but I do expect we will run out winners by about 10 in the end. Think Rohan will be 'pumped' to do well. A crafty twitch from the witch on 1or4 when he is looking across them could cause him.problems??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about a led in the grips of the handlebars that can be switched on so the person looking across sees the light and the tapes get touched?!

Reviresco Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 (edited) Not necessarily forums. Sometimes the writers talk (online) about what the plot actually meant!! You obviously don't watch Line of Duty? I'm hooked on LoD Scotsman. Personally think its the best British TV produced for a long time and have loved the way that they've tied in the second series with the first. Is there a way to do both? Attend the speedway and watch LoD on a Tablet or something? Could be best of both worlds and if the speedway wasn't that entertaining, with Paco going back to Paco 2016 Mark 1, rather than the Twin who turned up for the Panthers match, you'd have LoD to provide the entertainment? Really keen to go to this and watch Romance's Return (reckon he'll break the tapes in his first through nerves/enthusiasm and then score well after that) - and to say hi to you guys too, but I'm having transport issues at the moment and I'm not convinced that the Foxhall climate will be overly conducive on Thursday evening (rain from 8 pm forecast on AccuWeather with a real feel of just above freezing).

TheScotsman Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 Glad to have you on board the LofD bus. It really is an epic series. I fear for Steve Arnott tomorrow! Yes I could probably watch it online at foxholes but you can't really afford to miss a minute of it let alone 15. And it's a 90 minute episode so I would end up locked in the car park! I'm still torn but given the temperature at the moment I think I may be leaning slightly towards staying at home in the warm. I was hoping the Sky meeting tonight would have built my enthusiasm to go along to ippo tomorrow but I fear the weather ensured the opposite effect. Where is it you live?

Reviresco Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 (edited) Yes, not in Paco Mark 1's fan club yet, but definitely LofD. Hadn't realised it was a 90 minute final episode - that may have swung it for me. A real shame Romance's Return clashes. That and Rye House were the two league encounters I was looking forward to (plus the Scots teams of course). Plus I could keep an eye on the Europa League match - not that I'm a Liverpool fan. Totally agreed about the meeting tonight. Was sitting down looking forward to it (had even tweeted that, and I haven't tweeted for a couple of years) and, Pow, postponed. Nuts! I am currently living on the South West side of Ippo, not far from the Copdock (A12/A14) roundabout. If the track was where the football ground is, I could just about walk there, but it ain't. (I may be the only speedway fan who ended up moving to the town where he followed most of his speedway - though I'm not living here now because of that - it was a job situation kind of thing.)

TheScotsman Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 Well it is looking more likely that I'll stick with the television tomorrow but going forward if you are stuck for transport to get to foxholes and it's a meeting that I'm going to, I could give you a lift - I come up the A12 to that roundabout.

Gee thanks, that's very kind. I could easily make my way to Tesco which is just off the Copdock roundabout and not take you far out the way, straight back on the A14, etc. The transport situation is, hopefully, only temporary and should be resolved soon, but a brilliant offer and thanks again. Watching TV instead of live sport? Unbelievable! I wouldn't have considered it Shads, in my real speedway fan era, but nearing my 60th, the way the blinking weather has been and the fact that LofD is the real cheese and biscuits of a TV programme - that's made it a conundrum for me, I'm afraid. Not just any TV though. Exactly. Edited April 27, 2016 by macca56 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazysue Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 I have got a sneaky feeling that I am going to be Billy no mates if the meeting doesn't get hit with the rain....so if any kind soul would like to talk to the very lonely me and maybe bring me a cup of tea (I'll pay for it) at some point after the meeting starts, it would be very much appreciated! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reviresco Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 I take it Video Cassette Recorders, DVD Recorders, Hard Disk recorders, Sky+ a Tivo plus iPlayer all failed to make it to Suffolk I've got a VCR, but it only plays back these days and doesn't record. Not sure what the other things are that you mention Rob. My (horse drawn) plough is working fine though . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 Hopefully the showers hold off and it's a good meeting. More the same from paco and sarj would be nice. Would also like to see rohan getting stuck in and giving it...up yours baldy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pob Posted April 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 Weather currently rather nice , blue sky and sunshine lets hope it stays that way . All Witches fans know that on his day Tungate can gate and be very quick out in front , lets hope there is some dirt on the track for the likes of King and Covatti can hunt him down if he does makes the gates tonight . Think the Witches will win but do think things will be alot closer than Somerset normally are at Foxhall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldyman Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) Oh forgot about that. Damn. It's hard to call this year with their new riders. If they like foxhall it's gonna be tough. Edited April 28, 2016 by baldyman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
