<fx: Happy Sigh>

That was fun. With a big eff.

Highlights of the week:

Christofire with a grin that was threatening to sever the top of his
head every time he got back from playing with his new toy. Bless.

Bear and Verdi managing to get perfectly synchronised snoring going.
Most amusing.

Getting to extinguish a burning sidecar. Huge fun, I recommend it.

GLF signs that mean exactly that. Oh yes. Oh yes indeed.

Getting the Pan airborne on the run into Peel. They're not supposed to
do that, apparently (see below).

That Man McGuinness averaging 129.4 around the circuit. ****. Me.


Lowlights of the week:

Dropping the Pan. Clumsy fucker. Aren't they heavy?

Slightly fucking up the landing on the flying Pan and killing the ABS.

It's over. :^(

I have *got* to get a ferry organised for next year.

What happened?

 

Well, it does weigh 19.32 g/cm3 after all.

I was marshalling at Joey's, we got a call on the radio to say "Keep an
eye out, there's a sidecar that's smoking". That'd be the one with the
flames coming out of the back then...

Driver pulls into our layby, I hit it with the extinguisher, it goes
out. No fuss, no drama, and my pulse rate never went above 250...

A brake disk had overheated and set fire to some bodywork. The nutters
set to with some snips, cut the burnt bit away and pleaded to be allowed
back out! No. Sorry.

I recommend marshalling, it's a great way to get really close to the
action. I plan to do the Incident Management Course this winter.

But you're inadequately trained and should be shaking with fear...

 

How cool is that.

My nephew is the starter for one track in Portland, OR. Great fun.

LOL! That reminds me, I must email the editor of MCN to point out that
he's a ****.

Go and play on their message boards. I'm going to give them a bit of a
slap later so no doubt any account I set up will be cancelled in
minutes. It won't be the first message board we've swamped if we all
do it so would you care to suggest a time to start the game?

 

Yes, you're lucky you only come across them occasionally. I have to put up
with the fuckers every time I take a trundle around the north Wales
coastline. <Rant mode> Fucking place is starting to be like a suberb of
Birkenhead </RM>

Don't get me wrong, I firmly believe there must be some reasonable people
from Merseyside, it's just we seem to get all the cunts.

"You can't race any more, and I've got a Certificate to Prove It!"

 

That's true. When I first started going there it was quite a distinct
accent; in later years it started getting diluted with cunts.

Yep, I'll agree with that.

Allegedly all three of them were visible.

No worries, just wondered if marshalling and erect nipples was genetic.

heh

When in panic or in doubt, run in circles scream and shout...

I was watching a race on telly once. There was a crash and the car
caught fire, the driver did get out but you could see flames on his back
and legs. A marshal ran past him with extinguisher in hand and began
putting out the fire in the car. After a few seconds he decided this was
maybe not the right thing to do and turned it on the driver.

 

Scouse-tralia, that's what it is.
