With the position of my ASDA store in Swanley, Kent, we get all the WSB fans storming us for alcohol, cigs and much needed supplies We also get the team lads and lasses coming in with their corporate sponsored shirts.....I have not been able to blag one off them yet What a fabulous assortment of bikes outside today, Aprilia Mille, GSXR, Blade, GPZ, Hayabusa and several weird chopped sports bikes which seemed to be an amalgamation of several different styles.....wish I'd had my camera.. Generally a really nice bunch who are more than willing to stop for a chat and their enthusiasm is great to see... Those sales won't hurt our trading targets either....not that we'll get anything as colleagues from it. We have not received a bonus in the 4 years I've worked there....despite newspaper reports claiming we all got £355 last time round

er, I was up your way last night, dropped a broke BMW in Sidcup.
I actually thought about trying to contact you, but it was a bit late when we got there.
Saw loads of bikes on M25 as we came off at the Brands Hatch Junction.
Nothing like a sportsbike with a tent on its back to ruin the areodnamics

er, I was up your way last night, dropped a broke BMW in Sidcup. I actually thought about trying to contact you, but it was a bit late when we got there. Saw loads of bikes on M25 as we came off at the Brands Hatch Junction. Nothing like a sportsbike with a tent on its back to ruin the areodnamics PAT picked me up from work today and said while she was waiting she saw the funniest sight. A leather clad man and woman on a big sports bike, high tail pointing to the sky and tiny perch for the girl... They came out of ASDA loaded to the gunnels with provisions for WSB and ended up with a tankback stuffed full; Rider, then a huge loaded coolbag of large provisions between the rider and Pillion They were so loaded, they had to snap two French sticks of bread in half and ram them between them.... Pat was most concerned as the girl had a tiny seat and nothing behind her......did she ever make it...

well, what a pile of festering rat poo ITV's coverage of WSB was today.... Button's F1 win meant the programme over ran into the first 20 minutes of the Brands hatch coverage........I'm calm So ITV stick a full 3 mins of adverts in before going to Brands.....OK, I'm relatively calm.. They now just show Bayliss rounding the final bend and winning the first race instead of edited hilights.....then go live to the grid for the second race. That pointless woman, Janey blah de blah asks her usual pointless questions and..... ITV put 3 full minutes of adverts in.......I'm a little agitated now Come back and the warm uplap is almost over.....I count to ten... The race begins.... 20 laps or so in and they cut to a 'short break' of three full minutes and come back withus having missed almost two full laps...I am now right royally pissed off :headbang: :hair: Furkin bunch of winkers Bastids one and all I hope their next shit's are pineapples.... Race, oh yeah....there was a race wasn't there ITV1 BRAINLESS PRATS
