Club Arnage

Anyone going to Donny this weekend?

I am!  ;D

Sounds like fun, GO NICKY!  I'll be at the Mid-Ohio US Superbike round but I'll have the VCR rolling Sunday.
Anyone fancy a t-shirt swap?

Fax,

I can sort you out a t shirt, no problem.

PM me your reuirements and your address and I'll get it sorted for you.

Excellent Nobby,
Do likewise and I'll pick up a shirt for you from Mid-Ohio.

yes, and to Brands for the WSB partying too...

Oh yes, tickets delivered a few weeks back, and the bike in for very late and forgotten MOT. The lady is coming with me.

Should have been going had tickets as well but completely forgot about my brothers stag do and can't really miss it I am the best man oooppppsss

Can you not move stag do to Donny?  Just an idea...

Robbo, you seem to be getting very keen on this young lady. Is there not a danger that she will eventually will put a stop to your Le Manning activities?  ;)

Fear not Mr Z, she wont even get a taster of LM, as she'd love it and want to go again and again.

She has though found motorsport to be enjoyable, especially as she gets to go shopping during the events.

Have we got to be on our best behaviour at Silverstone then?

Jesus Robbo, look at her thumb nails!!!  :o

Your back must be red raw  ;)

Why just his back?  ::) ::) ::)

Yep and then some. Why do you think i'm so busy.

May not be at Silverstone, due to Rugby commitments.

Lightweight  ::)

Well well. That was a little bit wet.
I pity any of you guys who rode to Dony and then had to ride home again, soaked through.

A master class from The Doctor again, but not what I found to be an enjoyable race at all.

Only just over half the field finished I believe, with 5 going down in the first 4 or 5 laps.

Fax - your T shirt is away already and should be crossing the pond tonight or tomorrow.

From the warm comfort of my sofa, it was a brilliant spectacle. Rossi is an amazing rider, probably the most talented racer ever. He stayed on about six tank-slappers, high-siders, slides and skids which had the other half of the field on there arses. Then with a few laps to go, he just effed off into the distance, pulling about 2 to 3 seconds a lap out of the rest of the chasing pack before relaxing again. Quite incredible.

Well I had an excellent time in spite of the campsite fun police and the weather.  Huge thanks to the people next to us who gave us their spare brolly when the rain came down.

First time watching bikes for me and I'm sure to go back for more!

Thanks Nobby,
I've got your shirt ready to go to the post office this afternoon.  Had a great time at Mid-Ohio this weekend but Jesus was it hot!  A brief mid-day rain shower on Sunday turned the place into a sauna once the sun came back out.  Good to see E-Bos get the win on Sunday...Anyone but Mladin!

A convert!

Hi Doris, if you are used to watching F1, welcome to the wonderful world of overtaking. Now try World Super Bikes at Brands on August 7th, or possible even better racing will be on show in the British Superbike round on October 9th, hope we have an indian summer (in this PC world is the last phrase still allowed?)

Rossi is a God, the best rider ever, IMHO.

Got up at 7am looked at weather on south coast !! Puring. So gritted teeth and went to collect the lady.

She was reviewing the weather forecast from work and it was very specific - it wasnt going to stop all day.

Bythe time i got 20 miles from mine to hers i was very dripping, although my all weather kit kept me dry, it wasnt nice biking weather, with high winds pushing me around when solo.

After a few mins we decided to give it up. GUTTED, until i started watching the whole thing on Eurosport.

For her first big bike ride and race event then to come home in that much water, my kit would have given up, so would hers, and it wouldnt have been fun.

Ace race on TV, Rossi is something very special, but i just couldnt stop laughing a t the crashes, the 126's, 250's and then the GP boys.

reat TV.

Anyone want £85 of un-used Moto GP tickets for the British GP ???

To make it up, she's going to take me to Alton towers for a few naughty days away.

Commiserations Robbo, if I had been going I would have got the car out and braved the jams.

Thought about it, but i really wanted to go on my bike to this bikers event, not in my car. The weather was that poor that it would have been a long drive home too, and then it gets dull

 then it gets dull


Agreed, and once you are soaked to the skin and your b*llocks are freezing off it gets dangerous to.

The cross winds on the M27 started to worry me with the huge amounts of water on. I still needed to put the girl on the back, and then i am very concerned of others safety, Hence why i didnt go.

Well I've been watching on TV for a while now so jumped at the chance to go watch in the flesh when friends told me they were going.  Not sure I can make it to Brands for WSB, but BSB could well be a possibility.

PC?  I have no problem with that last phrase and I'm part American Indian.  Or were you refering to the other Indians?  The world is too complicated....I'm going back to bed.

"and I'm part American Indian."

Which for some reason reminds me of that great Lenny Henry moment when he had invited a white girl on the stage and asked her...

"Have you got any African in you?"

To which she replied no.

Lenny - "Do you want some?"

I always suspected Smokie was barmy.

Total w**k*r, Lenny Henry nicked it from Phil Lynott

It's not often that I agree with Mr Harper but on this one we stand shoulder to shoulder. Lenny Henry is quite frankly a smug arselicking sack of offal. He does "a lot of good work for charity" and boy does he let us all know about it. The talentless twat couldn't act his way out of a paper bag and he's possessed of a leering face, just begging to be smashed in with a red hot shovel.

Don't hold back tell us what you really think  ;D ;D ;D

P.S. i do happen to agree with you

I might have known you would have an bloody opinion on it Andy. ;D


And yes he did nick it from Phil Lynott, Leicester De Montfort Hall 1976 whilst recording the Live and Dangerous album if I am not mistaken. But of course the afor mentioned Mr Lynott used the word Irish and not African.

 All I gotta do now is wait for Zarse to tell me I'm wrong.

FWIW I'm certain that the phrase about 'having a little Irish in you' is on the Live and Dangerous album but can't verify the venue, as I regretfully no longer have a copy. It was a good tour though - saw 'em in Gloucester.  Possibly the best gig I have ever been to.

I hate to sound like I'm backtracking here.

I didn't know it was someone else's quote.

And I don't like Lenny Henry any more. He used to be funny though, like many comedians (Harry Hill for instance), until he got "famous". I remember seeing HH at the Edinburgh festival before he got his TV show. Absolutely brilliant. Now? Crap.

Too true.  I saw Henry last year, and the first 20 mins was pretty good then he just ran out of material.

And I suspect that "the little bit of black/irish" is pre Jimmy Tarbuck

Tarbuck? Don't start me on that goofy, puffy-faced, blubber mountain. He's a useless, unfunny, Cilla Black-shagging excuse for a comedian. How he's still working is anyone's guess. It makes my flesh crawl to hear his voice. I suggest that Tarbuck should be paraded through the streets of Liverpool stark naked with his genitals crudely sewn to his ear lobes.

PS Did you guess I'm feeling a bit liverish today.

Not at all - your comments are entirely reasonable.

Went to the 1988 cup final between Livepool and Wimbledon.
They had a celebrity game between Livepool and cockney celebs. The Livepool side was led by Jimmy Tarbuck.
The Livepool fans sang "f**k of Tarby" the whole match.
