What with MSA licence increases,Club card upto £14,daughter's birthday in a fortnight,caravan rent due end of Jan,the general price of juice and the Shaw trophy running end of Jan it's looking pretty bleak.

I'm looking for a generous benefactor to aid my dream of being top non expert in TSMG series.
Obviously as my hard earned taxes are being spent by students buying condoms,supping dodgy ale,eating toast,wearing dodgy clothes whilst having the audacity to enjoy life I'll be looking for one of them to step forward for a noble cause.

I'm thinking of Chris C as a likely candidate as he would appear to be a stout fellow and a jolly good chap.
Alternatively, if you can think of another likely candidate or have a spare can of special brew gis a shout.
Thanks for listening.

And remember live the dream :wink:

Hahaha, best post ever! Specially the bit about me being stout... and thinking I could afford it ;)

Hows about I get you a beer when you next come down to the non watered down part of the country?

That's a smashing offer Chris but I once ventured south to Leeds and found the climate unbearably warm.
Fortunately it was only to collect an Opel Manta which had a body kit and striping that made it look uncannily like a Dodge Viper 'til you lifted the hood and saw 1800 single cam of raw Vauxhall power with a leaky headgasket.

Mrs Sven also thinks that's a generous offer and told me to tell ya if you ever venture to the frozen uplands she'll rustle up a whippet stew.
Mind you that'll only be to give ya intense stomach pains and as you writhe around in agony she'll lift ya wallet-watch 'er she's crafty.

Come on ya charleteons.

So how much are MSA licences these days? Even my marshals licence ran out a few days ago, I'm now officially out of the 'circle' :(

And Chris, since I'm another one of these tax paying morons who's funding your high life, how about I venture to your part of the country so you can by me a beer? :D

Thought for the day

you would think with all the money these stoodents get from us hard working taxpayers they would be able to afford jeans that dont hang half way down there arses wouldent you ,

or is the idea to look like they are poor and dont eat so jeans that were once a nice snug fit have become loose and baggy due to malnourishment

I might have donated if it wasn't for the hurtful jibe at students. I'm a student and i dont buy condoms (because i have nothing to use them for) i rarely drink, i do eat toast but my mum buys the bread :lol: and the clothes i wear are about a million years old because i can't afford new ones.
Now if someone would like to loan me a small sum of money to pay for my MSA licence i would be most indebted to you as i would like to compete in a local sprint championship (in my 205 not the 360 for obvious reasons) and i think that i have a good shot at taking the class title :D

Send me your address, you sound like a worthy cause.

Good to see all students aren't like I assumed.Well done.


If you like I have some clothes that are a mere 5yrs old.Perhaps if I sent them then you would have better luck re the condom situation.Let me know.
