Who did they bed then Lloyd :lol:

I think the coverage is great, It's just that it's not on one of the mainstream channels. Shame really, motorcycle sport just does not get related the same as that crap (do I dare mention it) ball sport. What a wombles waste of TV space that takes up, filling our screens with morons. I would find Softball/Baseball more interesting, even Cricket is more interesting at least there is an element of danger involved.

Still got the last couple of TT day to catch up on. I been recording it all. :thumbup:

Hey saintsman I bet they got some nice light ales over there buddy. I wonder if they have Skinners. :think: my favourite being a pint of Knocker. Get me on that and I want more. :thumbup:

That;s one of the good things about this forum, quite a few of us feel the same way. It's the one place I can escape it. :)

I like the sound of that,it bugs the sh#t of me that whenever the overpaid numpties are kicking a ball the whole country seems to talk about nothing else and to make it worse its all over the tv as well. Rant over :biggrin .

Are you sure you didn't drink so much that you drank yourself sober. I have done that on a few occasions when I have been out on the lash all day and then started again the next. :roll:

I saw the coverage every day here in the City. It was on velocity which seems to run a ton of bloke shows.

Awesome to watch, but dont like the sidecars. I always thought those were the clowns of the racing world. Like a side show, but I would rather see the main acts.

I am racing nationals this week and there are always sidecars for that. Like comic relief. Puking oil all over the track and the paddock.

TT is mezmerizing though.
