Jockey on Storm

I was riding through traffic today and was waved, gestured at by a driver, how odd I thought. I stopped shortly after at a red light and this driver appeared beside me, on foot! he'd got out of his car and ran after me.
Once I turned off my intercom which was blaring out lady Gagas new album I could hear him, he wanted a lift!
Anyway we both pulled over, he took a bag from his boot and I saw him stuff a saddle (yep horse saddle) into it, he then put on his jockey hat and climbed aboard, we had about 10 mins to get to Sandown race course so he could get weighed in and then race in the 6:30.
The mission was set, in and out of the cars we went with him waving back cars, waving thanks and whatever else he was gesturing, through a junction swarming with our friends in blue with hairdryers, vans cars and a bike. Did I mention he also was wearing his Jockey attire, little booties white shorts and tee-shirt type things and had his Jockey hat on, ah well they have seen me anyway so no point stopping now. No problem at all we got through and made it to Sandown Park in time I hope.
He graciously then gave me a tenner for my trouble
I never did find out how he did in the race but hopefully he had a good one.

very true, no grown man should ever admit to listening to Lady Gaga.

do it again and you will have to swap the storm for a nice pink Suzuki Gladius

But he is already riding a yellow storm. Surely that is the equivalent of a pink Gladioli!!!!

Lady Gaga makes my ears bleed and is to be avoided at all costs.

I like that Elric, not something you hear of everyday
And whats wrong with lady Gaga, I like her music and singing, she's very creative, a good change from the normal run of the mill stuff

sorry chris, but I had to do it.

........not a fan of run of the mill either, but have to draw the line at Gagagagag mad woman,
I think she is a lot like elton john, .............very skilled musician & songwriter, but lives in another world and not my cup of tea!
oh and she is not bald or fat

Nothing wrong with bleeding ears, we all ride storms after all but i guess it's worse for our follwers.
I'd best not go into the rest of my music tastes

Never in pink though AMcQ
It would be no good if we all liked the same
You could be right when you say she lives in another world, who knows, but one things for sure if she didn't have an edge on the majority she be long gone and forgotten about by now. In this crazy world you need to be slightly different to make it in the music business. That doesn't mean we all have to like her style, it just means I do
