I had a Little Henry but had to keep swapping it for a Dyson. Eventually the Little Henry quit on me coz it didn't want to 'suck up' anymore!

Next you'll be telling me sauerkraut is British, the French love scones with jam and cream, and paella is a traditional Russian dish. After all they are all European, basically the same people,. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ancient mariner Posted May 6, 2022 Report Share Posted May 6, 2022 That's his season done then I suspect. Such a shame as he was pulling up some trees before his crash. I hope he recovers fully and swiftly; the very best of luck to Dan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teromaafan Posted May 10, 2022 Report Share Posted May 10, 2022 Can anyone shed light on Kennett’s absence? Is he actually injured? If, as some have suggested on this forum, he may have just been used for one meeting to gain a guest facility, the situation stinks. Fair play to the Plymouth riders for their performances to date, but they are using guests for someone who is unlikely to sustain his current average if he were to continue racing. At what point does the guest (or R/R) facility get reviewed or expire if he is not actually injured? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plate came through skin in his arm I think. With Gilkes highly unlikely to be back this season and Atkins allegedly chucked it can they run 3 guests all season?

Jaizer Posted May 10, 2022 Report Share Posted May 10, 2022 Just now, Bagpuss said: Farcical if so. Problem for Plymouth is how do you replace them? Kennet, Gilkes and Atkins for Morley, sedgeman and Sam Jensen? If getting away with the guests it's stronger than possible replacements currently available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could cost them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still have 6 teams riders to choose from. If was me I'd be wanting my own riders as guests can be hit or miss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
