Never knew where that word 'cross' came from--

Have a great evening, Jackie---



A car full of Irish nuns is sitting at a traffic light in downtown Dublin, when a bunch of rowdy drunks pull up alongside of them.

"Hey, show us yer teets, ya blooody penguins!" shouts one of the drunks.

Quite shocked, Mother Superior turns to Sister Mary Immaculata and says, "I don't think they know who we are; show them your cross."

Sister Mary Immaculata rolls down her window and shouts, "Piss off, ya fookin' little wankers, before I come over there and rip yer balls off!"

Sister Mary Immaculata then rolls up her window, looks back at Mother Superior, quite innocently, and asks, "Did that sound cross enough?"

Easy decision if you have been to Duval Street recently---

Heard that the "Mouse"bought Key west anyway, wants to open it up as a cruise liner station.
Is there room to expand the airport enough down there Gene, I remember it was a titchie biddy little strip!
Disney usually buys wide open spaces with lots of room?
Maybe he won it in a bet?
Or bought it blind?

Was told the US NAVY is number three on the "MOUSE" wish list.!
Quantico number two.
Camp David number one on the hit list?

One hell of a "Mighty Mouse" Gene---------it could only happen in the US of A.

You sure that was Duval Gene, reminded me a lot of the latest "WALMART" postings!

Jackie
I forgot to ask whats your take on the first corner incident with your favourite guy and rosberg?

Lewis bullied him onto the grass--------Rosberg had to win ALL the next races and could not afford to tangle-----No way on gods earth was Rosberg capable of doing that-----he is not the ugly street fighter that Hamilton can be! Proved that later in the race when he slid off whilst in the lead
You can't be born with a silver spoon and hope to beat a council house boy------the only gift Lewis had was the one he earned the hard way, ABILITY.
Ive been there , done that, got the rotten old tee shirt. Was just him and his dad for many a long year


If you ever thought Schumacher was hard, wait till you see Hamilton when the time comes. !!!!!

Schumacker wasnt hard he cheated

You can't win seven world titles and ninety odd F1 races just by cheating Pilgrim. Back in the day when there was two and half dollars to the pound--------Ferrari decided he was worth 20 million pounds---------even today, they think it was money well spent.

As usual my friend ------we will agree to disagree!

Was reminded this morning it's 20 years since the fatal run of Lee
Taylor in that needle nosed boat "Discovery 2"
Coincides with the Tavares event.
Been a hell of a lot of good men lost their lives "Going for it".
'Taint never gonna stop, all the time there's boats, engines, men and water, regardless of UIM and APBA rules and regulations nothing this side of heaven will ever stop guys "going for it".
Lots of you out there have done it, with or without sanctions by the governing bodies!
That doesn't mean you should allow any Tom Dick and Harry who can afford a rig to tear up the rule books and run crazy!
But I do think the sport should be run by folk who have been there, dunnitt and have an inkling of what's needed to further our sport. Main thing lacking seems t be a modicum of common sense.

Paris Six Hours Race ~ Year 1966 ~ First ever career race ~ Placed 14th out of the 90 total entrants ~ VERY embarassing for the 76 racers that were beaten ~ Recently passed away, two years ago, at age 94 ~ Name the Racer?... (*hint*... the racers name begins with an "f".)

One that instantly comes to mind had a first name "ALBERTO"-------Putetre,?

Nope.

This same racer also raced offshore powerboats & was the first to go 100 mph in offshore...
