One thing for Christmas
Ok ok I know its still two weeks away, BUT, if there was one thing you would like for Christmas, anything at all, and try to keep it clean guys and gals, especially you girlies as Big Mac is now a married man......., what would it be ...... can be a change in racing, can be something for you, or even if you are full of Christmas spirit something for someone else......?
When people say one thing and mean another its called politics, when organisers say one thing and mean another its called a mistake, when the ACU say one thing and mean another its called information.

My needs are simple :wink:

I'm concerned what DVD that is Ian has been watching. Could bring on a heart attack!
Well, I have said before I'd like Groundhog Day... my first race here at Billown... so I'll join you guys in the Tardis.
New Year wish.. a happy, politics free, accident free year's racing. Another MGP win for The Bag... that'll keep him out for another couple of years and he can help The Scone Ranger... then it's Garry's turn, and then back to the beginning???

"TT Under Threat".
I guess some things haven't changed, it's always been that way lol! alf Talking of the past and how things never change, How about this, a few of you may already know about this and what year and who it was from your TTMA things.
'In writing of the marshalling of the TT Races, one must start with reminiscences. The TT has "evolved," and its present is a result of the changes that have occurred in the past. Of all the tasks undertaken by enthusiasts in the Isle of Man, none has been more arduous as that of the Marshals and the medical officers, who turn out every morning at unearthly hours, to ensure a minimum of accidents, or, if accidents do occur, then to ensure that injured riders are attended with the minimum of delay.
It is astonishing that an Island population can provide 400 marshals willing to be up before the summer (and autumn) sun, and in their places in time for the first riders to appear in the very deep, dark dawn, morning after morning, without reward, but with the maximum amount of criticism and with the certainty of blame if anything goes wrong. They are a merry set, whose only grouse is that it would be a much better thing for the races, and the riders, if more of the exalted officials would make a practice (as indeed is the case with the MGP) of being at the start each morning, to see the "human" side of the race and to appreciate the difficulties that must be present in organising on the practical side.'
Any ideas?
