mrss Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 I certainly don't think like Trees. To me her comment about Diddycoys is racist. I am not a racist. Where I live we get hundreds of Irish travellers in the village every year. While some misbehave it's not all of them. Lastly how does Trees know it was travellers that stole Nicks bike?

g13webb Posted June 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Although ' Diddicoy' is not a nice word to describe people, it reflects their morality and attitude . No way can that be a racist comment . You can get Diddicoys from all walks of life... Â I will agree in that there are good and bad in all breeds......

Mimmo Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 So much looking forward to tonight's meeting, and just hope that the high winds don't cause the meeting to be postponed, especially as they are far stronger than the last time we lost a meeting through much lesser conditions.

The winds are meant to decrease as the day goes on,so can't see there being a problem with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 (edited) Looking at the weather should be in for a 7.45 kick off, no sun delay looking likely at the moment. Does anyone know if it was Porsing's no1 bike that has been nicked ? Â In years gone by I always seem to recall riders would lend a team mate a bike if they were struggling. I seem to remember Dave Jessup always only use to bring one bike ( on the back of his car) to a meeting, and if something went a miss with that he was always hopping on Michael Lee's spare machine.

Ha! Yes have you read Malcolm Simmons book where some 'interesting' comments made regarding Dave Jessup's equipment issues during meetings!

g13webb Posted June 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Remember a situation when Jessup turned up for a Lynn meeting without a bike, expecting to use one of Michael's bikes, as he did many times. . Lee and Jessup were having a right ole barney, in the pits with Lee saying he's taking the p...s Eventually Alan Littlechild persuaded Lee to agree for the sake of the team, but also saying he will never ride his bikes again after tonight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where I live we get hundreds of Irish travellers in the village every year. While some misbehave it's not all of them. Lastly how does Trees know it was travellers that stole Nicks bike?Racist? Ok yeah I'm racist against people who think it's right to lead their lives as I described. If they have pukka jobs, pay income tax and NI, tax and insure their vehicles, stop only on certified sites which they pay for and keep them clean then no problem, live and let live  Yeah I am surmising that travellers stole Nick's bike but an old white van was seen on the drive by a neighbour and some stuff was stolen from a local farmer on the same day and you only have to ask any person who lives in the area about who they think is responsible for theft around about lol  Here's Google's meaning of Diddicoy.  Didicoy (Romani: didikai; also diddicoy, diddykai) is a term of the Romani or "Gypsies" for "Gypsies" and travellers with mixed Romani and non Romani blood. An example of an old Romani song about a mixed blooded Romani is the "Romano Rai" (or "Romany Rye"): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kickitov Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Meeting off A full day of drying wind, some sunshine on no threat of rain and the 'world's best track curator can't get the meeting on!!!

Â If I was sceptical I'd say it's a bit of average manipulation with the next Premiership fixture being away to Somerset on the 16th June. Riding another home meeting would see the averages increase which we probably don't want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityrebel Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 I'm surprised to be honest. Eastbourne and Lynn have both pulled the plug on dry days. What hope for the future has this sport got. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mimmo Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Wind has already died down! No problems on that front! The wind has got a lot worse here in Heacham, and it would most certainly pose a danger to the riders if it were to be this bad tonight.

pointsmeanplayoffs Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 (edited) Wind will drop from 20mph to 13mph by 7pm. Â Rain not forecast until 11pm and then it's an 11% chance of 'light rain'. Â Only a 50% chance of light rain from 1am Thursday morning until 9am. Â It doesn't look 'good'. Â Oh well, shall we get back to banging on about the good old days and how Britain would be Great again if we reverted back to the 1960's?!?

semion Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Points that is a wonderful idea. Where would you like to start in the 60s ? As it was your suggestion I think it only fair that you should kick us off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
