Might be wrong but I thought the webmaster left earlier, and there was no maintenance and access given to others for updating.

I was trying to be concise Dave... for a change... but you know the craic... the thing had been on the slide from MP coming in... I'll leave it there... if ya ken what a mean...

It was nice to see my big mate THJ on Wallsend high st this morning  with what looked like a sausage or Saveloy sarnie & a cuppa or was it lager in disguise lol... Sorry I couldn't stop for a chat as I had a paying customer in the car ... But you are looking well even with the  face mask ( Friday as now it's Saturday ) & I've just finished a 17 hour shift phew bed time.... Hope all are staying well & safe & it'll soon be 2021...

Just for a bit of fun....   if you can imagine a world where 2021 exists and the Diamonds have a Championship speedway team (with the same averages and points limit in place) and Archie Freeman is available on a 2.00 average.....   what do you do to the 2021 team, remembering the 2020 team was already 2 points under the limit.   

Stick or twist? And if you're twisting, how would you twist???

 

Newcastle Diamonds

1. Claus Vissing 8.43
2. Matthew Wethers 6.92
3. Nick Skorja 5.00
4. Ondrej Smetana 5.00
5. Max Clegg 4.92*
6. Connor Mountain 4.61*
7. James Wright 4.00

Team Total: 38.88
Remaining: 2.12

I read that Rob has plans to run with the same team next year, but that could be difficult. The couple of foreign lads who haven't ridden here before could have other priorities on the continent, riders could be tapped up in the meanwhile to join another team who maybe have a vacancy in their team, being already two points down might be handy if the points limit is lowered,  and Archie is a must. Highly unlikely to happen anyway, but it must be applauded as a start point.

If post Brexit immigration rules apply in a similar way to Australia and USA then Skorja will probably get a work permit, Smetana might but Vissing wouldn't.

I still think the likes of EU riders will be eligible for visa's, despite no Freedom of Movement. Be the same as USA and OZ riders now.

Bet it wasn't just the 1 sarnie ;)

Aye just one bacon banjo with mushrooms but back in the day when I was training five days a week and playing on a Saturday I used to double up on the savaloy dips on a weekday lunchtime... couldn't eat or drink enough back then... 14.10 and was under weight and nothing I done put the weight on...

A small waffierr mint sir.... certainly wouldn't push me over the edge not then and not now...  but if a could get down to somewhere near my fighting weight again would be nice... infact somewhere near the 16 stone mark but with various injuries and niggles I don't have the wherewithal the commitment or the will power to put in the graft required to get somewhere back into shape...

Plus I like drinking eating to much and the socialising that goes with it to give a flying fig these days... you can't live forever and I'm happy with my lot...

And on that note I'm now off out for several pints and a nose bag...

Go on fatty... get in... yeah...

Do folk still have them in a civilised environment?,,, thought they were from the olden days.

I could do wid one... 

I was told you get them off undercooked pork or beef where the eggs are laid in the animal skin and form cysts... 

Tapeworm infection is caused by ingesting food or water contaminated with tapeworm eggs or larvae. If you ingest certain tapeworm eggs, they can migrate outside your intestines and form larval cysts in body tissues and organs... got this last bit off that interference net...

Oh an I watched a programme where a bloke swallowed some to loose weight an he had bits of them crawling out of his hoop at night an round the bed...

Good old Channel Four...
