Pahnd Island.

Why?

I guess I should know but where has this phrase come from and what does
it mean?

I've always wondered that too, but didn't want to be the one to ask!!

 

As a resident I have a *right*

Until I return the rearsets I stole off Kwakzilla when I broke one of
my footrests at the GP.

I really need to buy a new set of footrests or rearsets for the 10R
and remove any damaged plastics ready for repairing before it gets too
cold. The bike's going early next year and I want it scrubbed up nice
and clean before I get rid.

I wonder if Christofire feels the urge for another C2 10R yet?

 

Aha! Well as a UKRM story - par for the course really.

Champ was in the habit of namedropping his trips to the island so often
that someone (Pip) started charging him a quid a mention, swear-box
style. Fast-forward a bit of linguistic evolution and we have pahnd
island.

 

I think it started off as any kind of mention of racing [1], as
I've been pulled up for it a couple of times[2], but you're right
that the proliferation of use in connection with That There Island
coined [ha!] a new phrase.

[1] In fact, wasn't there an award?[3]
[2] Actually, I think there was...
[3] Never received it though...

 

I've just googled, the whole "Pahnd" thing started four years ago.

 

And currently Champ is down £234,232.

 

2004 - the first year I did the Manx GP.

 

Pahnd

 

I always wondered if it had anything to do with Mr Fiddler, but CBA to find
out.

 

D'oh!

 

ROFL.

£234,233.

 

I make it more than that, actuarily.

I must speak with WUN on this subject.
