Tricks that old racers get up to after retirement

Gene. I have to tell you Jilly and Karin would get on great, the toilet seat effigy would have had her screaming for the captain.

Day two of Goodwood FOS and things are much the same as yesterday , choppers and light aircraft like Mosquitos round the village pond on a hot June day.
Red Arrows buzzed the house three times, but i haven't seen the Vulcan yet.
Back ached something rotten today, was all the bending I did yesterday for four hours, guess I never will learn my limitations, so I just suffer, with the occasional "oh dear", when I stand up.
Bet you never knew SUPERMAN suffered with arthritis , flatulance, dog breath and an aching body.
I know this for a fact-----ROBIN told me. Nighty night, MYGGWY. J.

As long as its got a 250cc i can race tune to 550 hp, frankly my dear Johnno i don't give a sh--------whoops--------DAMN ?

Who bit your ASS. I was merely commenting on the fine job you did on the table, it looked like the chairs could use the same.

Morning Johnno, lack of understanding on my part dear boy, sorry 'bout that, the little grey cells aint wot they used ter be!!!!!
Thought you meant i was ready for the wheel chair, and lets be honest R/J compliments from you to me are rare as rocking horse sh-t, so you caught me with my knickers round my ankles.
Of course you are absolutely right the matching chairs could do with some TLC but i don't have enough time left in my life to do ALL the right things, and seeing as ROMA is 70+ its not that i am trying to get into her panties, so the chairs will be put on the back burner.

Did you hear the story of the Ferrari at Goodwood, it goes like this--------In an orchard in downtown Cincinati lay an old 1953 Ferrari -----all in bits
and pieces, So having heard there is an auction every year held at the Goodwood FOS by BONHAMS, the said car was shipped over and auctioned off on Friday for -------£10,000,000---------$17,000,000, Like i told you before my colonial friends -----hang on to your heritage and your old classics they are priceless.

Was one of those days, last day of Goodwood FOS and a chance to see the red arrows fly. Past. Thought the best place to see them would be our bedroom balcony. Heard me coming , charged upstairs , camera at the ready, hooked my left foot round the bed leg and went arse over tip and landed heavily on my right shoulder and pulled all the tendons. I have finally realized I am not Peter Pan and not immortal -----IT BLOODY HURTS-----and I never did see the red arrows.
Cant do much in the shop in this state so have decided to have a day out in the Solent with Fish and my sister on the Sunseeker, long time since I went pleasure boating.

WILLABEE and I are still throwing frisbees at each other, but it's all in good fun and he does have an amazing memory and a good library of old foggies (piccies to colonials).
Really hope he makes it to OFF 2014, would be a hell of a blast, maybe Stickle can pick him up and bring him.
Cant believe any of you have not read his "Hot Singles" thread, but if you haven't ----give it a try. J.

Didn't get my fair share of shut eye last night due to an aching shoulder----tried to drive, that proved a real problem. Jill said I was like a bear with a boil up it's rectum (she's very polite)
Sunny and warm was the forecast, but I forgot about the wind factor.
arrived in Hamble and took the water taxi to the Sunseekerj, I was about as much use as a chocolate fire guard .
wind was. Sou wester blowing 15knots---did one trip downriver into the Solent but there was a very uncomfortable short chop ,2 foot seas, not a good day for a serene cruise to the island, so we called it off for another day.

That was yesterday.

if anyone missed the USA ---Belgium match, you missed the very best of the beautiful game.
Will comment on this later in the day. It's 6am and I have to do my community service today for speeding in a restricted area starting at 7.45 am so I have to get cracking-----report on the football and the punishment later.

Well I'm glad that's over, four hours of quite intense Q&A on accidents, speeding, fines and getting up to date with the Highway Code ------getting modern to road safety!
Had a couple of issues with the lady in charge, first was the fact she thought all drivers over 70 were habitual offenders and didn't or couldn't or weren't capable of learning anything. So I asked her what the hell was I doing there then? As I didn't have four hours spare to learn nothing!
She went on about Kenetic energy-----so I asked her what she meant, had to gently remind her about there being a re-action to an action etc. But I'm the dumb one who has not learned anything. Then she got into reaction times, was itching to demo the dropped pound note routine ( or dollar )
but it would have been me just being pedantic.
This is a Speed Awareness class as opposed to community service. It's done anyway.

Was the first genuine soccer match of the World Cup -----end to end----run till you drop " ROY OF THE ROVERS" stuff, great entertainment but not the way to WIN the World Cup.
This is the age of ducking and diving, theatricals, and sneakyology, raw talent and enthusiasm is not enough------it nearly was, but not quite.
You have to look at the beautiful swallow dive Robben executed to get the penalty after he was hardly touched in the Holland match, and if a player is tripped, at least four forward rolls with a face contorted in agony is the least that is called for before an oscar nomination is awarded.
Klinsman thought hard work and ability and national pride and a bit of luck would get them to the final, he forgot the SNEAKOLOGY.
Now the USA will have to dig into the murky depths of Managers with devious, doubtful, and dubious tendencies. You think I'm kidding--------honest to murgatroyd -------I'm not!

Yeah well, what can I tell you-----if I'm honest, I think the speed awareness scheme is useful. It needs people like me to assist, and guide and offer help and suggestions, while they haven't got it quite right, it's a big step in the right direction. Was also a saving of £15 and zero points on my licence, so I'm still clean and the insurance company will not be having a field day.
So Phil you can still address me as sir with a capital C!
