Well ave got an unopened one too as it happens from a guy I helped to get a job with a good reference but I have had it before and it wasn't to bad... bout 25 quids worth and fair play to the lad he's trying... like the thing I am watching now it's a starter for 10... you could have a good one there... ideal for wetting the head of the first grandchild and don't worry it won't go off... Never mind the daughter he's a keeper if he's buying you drink...

Ave got something like 40 bottles but every so often one springs a leak from the top and has to be consumed... Funny that... Doh...

TotallyHonestJohn Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 Morning, So here is today's offering to keep us smiling through the pain One day, Einstein has to speak at an important science conference. On the way there, he tells his driver that looks a bit like him: "I'm sick of all these conferences. I always say the same things over and over!" The driver agrees: "You're right. As your driver, I attended all of them, and even though I don't know anything about science, I could give the conference in your place." "Hey... That's a great idea!" says Einstein. "Let's switch places then!" So they switch clothes and as soon as they arrive, the driver dressed as Einstein goes on to the stage and starts giving the usual speech, while the real Einstein, dressed as the car driver, attends it. But in the crowd, there is one scientist who wants to impress everyone and thinks of a very difficult question to ask Einstein, hoping he won't be able to respond. So this guy stands up and interrupts the conference by posing his very difficult question. The whole room goes silent, holding their breath, waiting for the response. The driver looks at him, dead in the eye, and says: "Sir, your question is so easy to answer that I'm going to let my driver reply to it for me." All true apparently (cough cough) Regards THJ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why did he sign for us ? Am guessing either 1. No one else wanted him 2. No one could fit him in because of his average. 3. Newcastle offered him so much money that greed got the better of him and he chased the filthy lucre even though he isn't keen on the track... Just guessing like... Or as an edit 4. maybe he came to Newcastle to master a track that he has on occasions struggled at... and maybe he thought he would end up a better rider... Danes do have a penchant for making a name for themselves at Newcastle... maybe his reason for coming was totally honourable... Yep a like that reason better...

Chewbacca Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 TJ is normally a gater which should suit Brough but his gating gloves let him down last season. He never got the hang of passing people which, after the first two bends, is normally done on the fourth bend. That’s where I watch from and he just went mid track all the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true. it was known he was a gater and is for Kings Lynn as his results show. Known as a gater, and also having the special gizmos on his bike to improve it, he regular failed to reset it at the start, and after moving first would usually be third into the 1st bend.

Regards THJ Could possibly be any one of those things. His first couple of meetings, I thought, hold on we might have something here. That didn't last long for whatever reason,,, but did seem a strange signing at the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinmauger Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) I once asked the late, great Ivan Mauger, who knew a thing or two million about the Brough Park / Newcastle Stadium track, why he chose Newcastle for son Kym's first club. He replied (words to the effect) "it's a bit of a tricky track but if you master it you should ride all tracks better or at least you will improve as a rider. Plus the Geordies up there are great, friendly people and if they can see you are trying your best, then they will support you all the way which is very important especially when you are starting out". Couldn't have put it better myself.... Edited April 25, 2020 by martinmauger missing 4th full stop. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
