    Senior MGP cancelled. What a let down for Champ and everyone else.
    The web cam at the Bungalow tells the whole story though. Hopefully I
    will be there to watch next year.

    According to Manx Radio a lack of Marshalls meant the race couldn't be
    postponed until tomorrow. I wonder if the TT Centenary was a factor.
    Perhaps a few regular marshalls who usually go over for the Manx went to
    that instead this year.

    Well at least you had a good result and personal best in the Junior.

    Hardly a consolation, but Prescott is looking quite promising. Closing
    date extended and entry (35 riders) not yet full, but the Secretary of
    the Meeting has to wait for everyone entered in the cancelled meeting to
    confirm if they can do the 22nd September. Some people can't get to
    Saturday events though so it could well be on.

  9. Miserable ole sod. Look on the bright side, you have a nice set of
    probably achievable targets for next year and some of them will be
    firsts.

    Proper attitude.

    What a fucking let down for you.

    Drink is good in such circumstances, and mu-cron tablets are good for
    phlegm.

    And quite a few more, as I gathered from TC this morning. Sorry I
    couldn't rejoin you later, just too knackered...

    he actually took it quite well, in the circumstances, but then he'd
    got another replica and a 115mph lap and a 9th place, so he could
    still be justifiably proud. What he'd have done with the bumped up
    start place (15th, from 29th) was something we'll have to wait until
    next time to see.

    Keith was actually a lot more pissed off, having done not too well in
    the junior but holding high hopes for the senior. But he was somewhat
    mollified by being given a special award for 'services rendered above
    and beyond'.

    Yeah, I know what he says, but I'm not sure I believe it. He may not
    like getting up there, but I'm pretty certain he actually craves the
    recognition.

    Yeah, I know :-{ As we walked back up to the cars after the
    presentations Sara was taking the piss 'cos I was walking so slow and
    when she said "A young fit person like you..." I almost snapped her
    head off. An absolutely sure sign that the previous three days had
    taken mfar too much out of me.
    Well I didn't get up until 7:30, but yeah, I sure appreciated it.
    Heh.

    Unexpected side effects from his experiment on genetic modification
    using the latest Japanese technology "SuziArmco" ?

    Yes, I think there may be some connection.
