That isn’t narcissism; that’s being organised.

Narcissism was when I shouted “TWENTY POUNDS, GOING IN” and waved the note in the air before chucking it in Lewis Kerr’s Ben Fund collection bag on Friday night.

I'm afraid it is. Narcissism means to have an excessive self image/self-importance. Anyway, I'm sure you could argue about all day about it even though you're wrong.

Fact is, nobody believes you are new here (let alone the fact you've only just gone to your first meeting in years - as you like to tell everybody), so just do yourself a favour and drop the act. Nobody comes on to a forum for the first time and posts almost 100 times in just two weeks and argues with all the members who post regularly (amongst other things already mentioned). Nobody sane anyway.

Glasgow being one of them. 

Full credit to Sam Masters and Scott Nicholls for doing any ht 15 this year even when the result (and even aggregate bonus point) was decided. Oxford Promotion obviously believe in letting the fans see the best riders at every opporchancity. 

There again at Berwick Oxford put out Masters and Nichols both unbeaten by an opponent  but they didn’t give it maximum effort as the match was won and just cruised round at the back.we did see them though.!!

Alexa, give me an example of the inane ramblings of a troubled mind.

That’s the profile of a troubled mind; I asked for the inane ramblings of.

Almost. At least you tried.

Anyway, go away, I’m busy trying to keep up this act and you’re distracting me.

If you can’t see it contains the latter, it’s definitely the former.

I'm just amazed you've managed to post so much so quickly since you joined. My first two comments took two months to get approved

I seem to remember reports that Sam at least was trying something on his bike in that instance.

What have the failed (none negative )drugs/alcoholic tests got to do with how the sports performing.

I work in an industry where we are tested, is it the companies fault if idiots break the rules and get caught? 

Withholding services? Happens in every sport, want a transfer but the managers not letting you go ? 

The difference being they have squad systems that can replace defective or ineffective players.

 

 

These have got to be some of the most ridiculous comments i've heard on this forum recently and for your post to get so many likes suggests to me that most on here don't know what a crisis British speedway is facing right now.

Have you any idea of how many eligible riders there are in the Championship and if many more get suspended there will not be anywhere near enough to go round? YOUR place of work can hire any monkey to do your job as there are 127,000 unemployed people in Scotland to replace  you with but there are a VERY LIMITED number of riders who can make up the teams in the Championship (especially heat leaders). 

And yes IT IS your companies fault for idiots breaking the rules, they hired them and that's why they have enquiries and also hold train companies liable if a driver turns up drunk and ends up steering a train into a ditch killing all onboard. 

I noticed you didn't say anything about the number of clubs on the verge of going to the wall or not having anywhere to ride next season (Peterborough/Edinburgh/Poole etc). Is this not a sign of "how the sport is performing" or is this a positive thing in your mind?

I actually joined just after I purchased the CLRC on BSN, so I could watch and discuss it, but noticed my posts required approval, so reached-out to admin who kindly sorted it.

My handwriting was too big for the box for each heat’s time in the programme, so I stuck to one decimal place.

On that note, I’ve got a bone to pick with the stadium announcer at Ashfield who caused my programme to look like a scribbling mess.

Good to see you switching to personal attacks 

As long as those monkeys have the qualifications to replace me, but unfortunately would take 6 years and 4 years at big person school to legally be able to replace me. But yep your right if they start now and pass everything they'll be good to go for 2033.

I’m astounded that “Cabbageman”/“Barabus” hasn’t commented on this thread……
