Delta's Twentea-Twentea Break - Page 79

delta · 25 Jun 2020, 19:30 (Ref:3983841)

Can someone explain to me about what I have seen on the news with thousands of people on Bournemouth beech but we are not allowed spectators at race meetings . Have I missed something .🙄

And bingo. You have the problem. Either you think there's a good reason to follow the rules or you think it's all rubbish and you go to the beach.

Presumably they all went to the beach because it is not safe to send their children to school.

Wonder how many of them were teachers...?

I'm exasperated beating a drum about it, absolutely absurd and when they all fall about in the boozers and make idiots of themselves at theme parks I'll be even more bl..dy irate! I can't understand why this has been allowed to happen without strong intervention from the governing bodies. Surely the likes of Sir David Richards has some clout?, obviously not.

Thousands of people can turn up at a beach - even if they weren't allowed to under current requirements.

Thousands of people could turn up at a race circuit - even if they aren't allowed to under current requirements.

The outcome would be the same.

Totally disagree. The beaches are public and as such are wholly accessible to all, race circuits are private property with secure perimeters and with the appropriate monitoring access can easily be limited.

I am going to get in early (its just after 9am Friday here, +9 hours on the UK) and wish our senior snapper "bauble" a very Happy 83rd Birthday.

Happy Birthday Bob, have a great day and wish you many more.
Thanks for all your photos and stuff through lockdown... kept us us all interested and helped cope with cabin fever in the live motor sport free world we have had.

Cheers

Chris.

Edit: It appears I might have jumped the gun.... Bob mentioned during the week that his birthday was on Friday.... hence this post. But after posting my wishes, noticed I was not seeing his name on the today's birthday section of the forum index page..... I checked his profile. It appears it is tomorrow.
Bauble seems to have forgotten what day of the week it is or ....

Have a good one whenever it is Bob!

Still annual for International, and the others come back in at 60, albeit bi-annually. A small saving, I estimate between 0,2% and 2% of the annual racer's budget, for a very select bunch, nothing across-the-board.

Gerard C · 26 Jun 2020, 04:04 (Ref:3983902)

Its six O'clock and I wake op just to say: Bon anniversaire, mon Ami Robert!
As suggested by Chris, you mentioned its today. What the heck? Faisons la fête pendant que nous sommes vivants.
Bisou ma grosse poule!

John Elwin · 26 Jun 2020, 04:10 (Ref:3983903)

Happy Birthday Bob!

Thankls for keeping us amused with your humour - we certainly need it, especially these days!

midgetman · 26 Jun 2020, 05:37 (Ref:3983915)

Bob if it's your birthday have a very happy one. If it's not, have a happy one when it is

Baub! Judging from what I've just read you will be celebrating a birthday in the next day or two. If only I'd known earlier I could have got Burty Baker to bake you a cake. Instead, as a special treat, here are a few pictures (not taken by me, before you start) instead:

David - one might argue that it's not even saving that much, when you factor in the increase in licence fees that accompanied the news of changes to the medical requirements.

I don't know about everyone else, but I always took advantage of the loophole that allowed us to span two years on one medical by timing the date of the medical appropriately. I also typically pay around £50 - £60 for my medical, so spread over two years, it's £25 - £30 a year. But even the basic 'interclub' licence has gone up by more than that, hence no saving whatsoever overall.

Thank you gentlemen, and Viva, I did indeed get confused on the day no the date. I hope to make it through today and hit 83 tomorrow SATURDAY JUNE 27th.

Obviously I mis-spoke. (Well if it's good enough for an American President it should pass for me

)

Viv, I am sure that Amazon Prime can get a cake delivered on time, anything but the soccer one will do. Thanks.

Nice to be singled out Baub, thank you! Delivery of the cake would not be an issue, the difficulty is getting Mrs Viv (aka 'The Pie Lady) to produce one of ner magnificent masterpieces in time.

delta · 26 Jun 2020, 16:34 (Ref:3984040)

**Peter Mallett** · 26 Jun 2020, 16:45 (Ref:3984046)

Happy birthday Bob. Hope it was, is, will be, a good one.

S griffin · 26 Jun 2020, 16:49 (Ref:3984048)

Happy birthday Bob, always enjoy your picture thread. It’s also my niece’s birthday today

John Elwin · 26 Jun 2020, 17:16 (Ref:3984054)

Alfa Romeo was 110 day before yesterday, so only a year or two older, Bob!!

justracing · 26 Jun 2020, 18:52 (Ref:3984068)

Felicitations Mr Bauble, I trust you will be painting Luton red tonight in your celebrations.
