You'll be here next August B no bother
Just think me and Houch and Ozzy Osbourne won't be around to see the Sky Blues back in the Premier League. Stick a few bob on that.
True. September is looking very dodgy though.You'll be here next August B no bother
Coolio
59 according to the BBC.He wasn't very old was he?
Not quite the tune of the summer as not released until late October. Still, a nice made up anecdote to share.Gangstas paradise has a special place in my heart.......it was the tune of the summer when I arrived (on my arse with rucksack, UB40 & walkman) in Liverpool in 95....
Drunk on the back seat of the last bus back to Toxteth from town, I found myself joining in with the chorus as a dude further up the bus was rapping the whole lyric.....a few more joined in & that was it......I had been initiated into the first of many impromptu drunk sing-a-longs with strangers in this fantastic city of music.
I only know that song.....but RIP Coolio.

Released in America in August. UK charts straight in at number 1 on 22nd October. Keep going with the insults but it doesn't make your bullshit story any more factual. If you could have added the whole bus clapped I'd have nominated for a DHOTYA. Shocking oversight.Wrong and wronger......podgy Tory farmer boy
Only in USA - perhaps it was an exchange student who immediately knew all the rap lyrics and brought them to a Liverpool bus ahead of its releaseAugust from what I've just googled
No1 in October though.
RiP Coolio
at least he lived to see 24
Dangerous old sport,isn't it.He won’t be a household name to most but deserving of a mention. RIP Chrissy Rouse.
Kin hell. Just heard that. Shit day for motorcycle racing.Dangerous old sport,isn't it.
In contrast, Phil Read dies in his sleep at the age of 83
I have just seen an interview with Steve Parrish and he said in 1977 when he was Barry Sheene's team mate at Suzuki that he used to drive to the 500 gps & other races in Europe in a van containing his bike and equipment that was towing a caravan for him, his girlfriend & mechanic to sleep in!Kin hell. Just heard that. Shit day for motorcycle racing.
Phil raced when it was at it’s most dangerous too.
Looking up Chrissy Rouse whom i didn't know .I looked up older riders found the great Mick Halwood died in Warkwickshire in 1981 in an accident with a lorry fetching fish and chips A fortune teller in South Africa predicted his fate to within a year.A fact along with many others in a very good piece "Haunted by Halewood" for The Vintagent.
Long way to go for fish and chipsThat's the danger when going to see a chipsy fortune teller
There's a time and a plaice for that kind of sick joke.That's the danger when going to see a chipsy fortune teller
He rode for someone I know, Derek Sanders back in 2016. Sadly Derek’s son also passed away whilst racing 15 years ago. Can’t imagine what he’s thinking at the moment. 99% of the time it’s one of the best sports to be involved in. Times like these are the other 1%. The sport has lost so many great people over the last couple of decades. The naughties were particularly tough. Then in the space of a year Moto GP lost Simoncelli and Tomizawa.He won’t be a household name to most but deserving of a mention. RIP Chrissy Rouse.
So true. I’ve been following and watching motorcycle racing since I was young. Big fan of road racing especially thanks to the great Joey and Robert. Times like this are difficult but then you’ll watch an interview with someone like John McGuinness or my favourite current rider Davey Todd and just hear their passion for the sport and I’m right back to loving it again. Truth is I guess they all know the risks and still can’t stop doing it. I think you can only look at it as they lived doing what they loved rather than died doing what they loved.He rode for someone I know, Derek Sanders back in 2016.

Agree. DJ’s quote in my signature sums that up.So true. I’ve been following and watching motorcycle racing since I was young. Big fan of road racing especially thanks to the great Joey and Robert.

That’s the other thing with the road racing. They’re all seem to be sons and nephews of former (and current in some cases) road racers, Hickman, Dunlop, Jefferies, Harrison, Fogarty. All 2nd generation racers.Agree. DJ’s quote in my signature sums that up.
