i see stoner doing well this year dont really like the guy but boy he can ride a bike.come on cal the only brit got to support him

Totally agree, Cal Crutchlow lives in Ramsey, here on the Isle of Man. He finnished 11th in his debut race although it was even more difficult for him because he'd lost the tip of his left little finger during an accident in the final night of pre-season testing a few days ago.

Crutchlow: I’m pretty happy with that

I was happy to be in the fight for the top ten for as long as I was and the experience gained is invaluable to help me progress in MotoGP. I wanted to finish and get a race under my belt, so it was mission accomplished.

Of course, well done to Casey Stoner. Honda FTW

Hi & welcome.

Apparently, as a young boy, many many years ago. In front of all my mother's posh friends during a coffee morning, I announced that I would like to tell them my bestest joke 'eva' Of course these fine ladies thought it was cute that such a young boy was excited to regale them all with his sweet joke.

With huge encouragement from my new female audience, I proceeded to tell them my wonderful joke. It was also a tractor joke and went along these lines:

What's the difference between a tractor and a giraffe?

Cue lots of comments of sweetness and ladies chuckling.

Then I deliver my highly amusing although somewhat misunderstood punchline because I was actually too young to understand.

'Well, a tractors got hydraulics and a giraffes got high bollox!'

You've never seen a room go so silent, you could have heard a pin drop.

Needless to say, I was never allowed to go near the local church coffee mornings or any other event for that matter. Bonus!

My time: 00:21:15:81

This is a video I did last year for Mad Sunday, I apologise about the wind noise, I thought it was better to have the true sound of the bikes rather than some poxy music drowning them out.

Just whilst we're waiting for a decision on the caption competition, here's one to keep everone going:

Had a good run out today and remembered how quickly you run out of road at 120 - 130 mph (on the unrestricted roads ) It also makes me realise and respect the racers that can achieve and maintain 130 mph average lap speeds around these roads.



Oh and bless the policeman for moving over and wanting to let me pass

Sorry, I hijacked it because I couldn't afford my own. It was looking tatty anyway so you didn't really lose anything

I thought that I'd post this as I've noticed there appear to be lots of questions related and might be something which I can help with.

I'm a qualified Insurance Underwriter and I would be pleased to answer any questions or if I don't know the answer, I'd be pleased to find out or research the details for you.

I'm happy to comment on any general insurance although please note that I'm not qualified to give advice on life insurance or pensions. I would strongly recommended that you discuss those queries with a suitable financial advisor only.

Anything else, I'm here to help.

Hi and welcomé, I love that lid too!

Hi and welcomé from me too.

I bought several pairs from the sport shop. They're just football socks but they keep me warm and people think I'm sporty when they see lots of football socks hanging on the line. (How can someone with so many football socks still be so fat?)

Yeah or maybe you could set up a section for threads with different caption competition / mystery location type things and anyone can post new ones whenever. Maybe the OP can decide on when to pick a winner and if it's done by poll or they just pick whichever they think was best etc. Just a thought like ;D
