Tricks that old racers get up to after retirement

YESTERDAY I TOOK A NOSTALGIC VISIT TO MY VILLAGE IN WEST SUSSEX. Its called Southwater.
My local pub was the “COCK INN”, ITS BEEN CALLED THAT FOR THE LAST 250 YEARS.
Suddenly thats no longer acceptable or politically correct.
Now if there had been a sign hung outside with a an extraordinary large penis showing, i could understand this. BUT, the sign has always shown a rooster with a full red comb on the back of its neck!
Pubs have always been called INNS. Has the world gone completely bonkers. Do these politically correct idiots think they can change history ?
My pub is now called THE CRAFTY FOX——- this, in spite of the fact there is a pub called THE FOX less than two miles down the same road.
When these stupid Dingleberry’s gather in protest as they usually do regularly. I think it would be totally acceptable to turn the muck (manure) spreader on them and then wash them down with the water cannon . AT FULL PRESSURE!

Guy Gibson was a Squadron Leader who led “The Dam Busters”. He is part of English folklore and RAF history. He had a dog called N—G—- R. This has been removed from the dogs headstone!!??? I don’t give a flying fart what the PC’s do, they can never change history!
Surely I can’t be the last sane person left on earth!

Currently there is a movement in the USA to remove all Confederate icons. Mississippi has been directed to come up with a new state flag. Somebody's even painting a target on tearing down Mount Rushmore. Kinda makes you wonder what really happened in Egypt 4000 years ago and what we believe to be fact in what we see, touch and interpret today? 500 years from now the Lake Havasu OWC will be understood to be some kind of elite multi national naval exercise.

Jackie is there a civil war happening between the British people? I saw this article at Yahoo Sports.
~~~

Last week, Lewis Hamilton called out both FIA president Jean Todt, and F1 CEO Chase Carey for lacking leadership amid his Black Lives Matter activism.
The Mercedes driver also criticized F1 greats of the sport Emerson Fittipaldi, Mario Andretti, and Jackie Stewart, along with former F1 chief executive Bernie Ecclestone, even accusing the latter of lacking education.


Ecclestone, 89, is not taking the shot without taking one of his one. He has been lashing out at Hamilton through the British newspapers, saying, "Lewis, you state that I am uneducated and ignorant. I have the same level of schooling as you. At least I had a reason—I was at school during the last war, not always under the best conditions. You are lucky because if I had not been as properly educated,perhaps Formula 1 would not be as it was for you to benefit as you have.

"Don't think about what your skin color is—think about what color your mind is. Don't envy others. Just improve and catch up."

Given the option, Todt says he would love to keep world politics out of Formula 1.

No, not a civil war. Just a bunch of idiots who found a slogan BLACK LIVES MATTER.and went on the rampage. If I held up a WHITE LIVES MATTER placard, I would be called a racist and thrown in the pokey!!!
I think Hamilton has just about crapped his bucket full !!! Hes been sailing close to the wind with his BLM views and taking the knee, condemning drivers who think otherwise and biting the hand that feeds him.
I have been an ardent admirer of Lewis since his carting days, but I wouldnt even bother switching the TV on to watch F1 since his idiotic and racist ramblings started.
Time to button up,or piss off into the long distance. I will no longer listen or watch all the BLM racist claptrap.

[jackiewilson]

Looks like nobody has anything to say on the BLM subject . / i know its a boating only site, but all the old farts i know will not simply sit there and listen to the rantings of a few misguided lunatics with very RACIST views.
Lets make this abundantly clear, I do not support the BLM movement.

For the first time in 50 years I have filed for a concealed carry permit.

Why conceal it? Do it like Buck jones , Roy Rodgers, Wyatt Earp and Clint Eastwood , Low slung , one each side and a belt full of ammunition.
White, Black, Pink, Yellow or Green, it’s LIFE that matters !

Today im taking the whole day off, going down to Hamble with daughter Sam .been invited for a day out an my sisters boat.This usually happens once or twice every year, but last year , for no particular reason it didnt happen.
We Will probably find a small secluded beach ,somewhere off the Isle of Wight and Moor up. temperatures are set to be over 90; so I may even dip my toes in the briny.
Been buying and selling lots of machinery, trying to downsize . Problem is, I seem to get less and less actual work done, although my creativity has hit new highs. See how it all comes together.

[jackiewilson]

had a nice day out on the boat. Had a choppy old ride across to the isle of wight.
Sun buggered off and the temperature dropped, so much for the hottest day of the year.
