slapshot 3

Gizza was rushed to hospital the other day with half a dozen toy plastic horses jammed up his backside... Doctors have described his condition as stable.

A duck walks into a pub and orders a pint of beer and a ham sandwich. The barman looks at him and says, "Hang on! You're a duck." "I see your eyes are working," replies the duck. "And you can talk!" Exclaims the barman. "I see your ears are working, too," Says the duck. "Now if you don't mind, can I have my beer and my sandwich please?" "Certainly, sorry about that," says the barman as he pulls the duck's pint. "It's just we don't get many ducks in this pub.. What are you doing round this way?" "I'm working on the building site across the road," Explains the duck. "I'm a plasterer." The flabbergasted barman cannot believe the duck and wants to learn more, but takes the hint when the duck pulls out a newspaper from his bag and proceeds to read it. So, the duck reads his paper, drinks his beer, eats his sandwich, bids the barman good day and leaves. The same thing happens for two weeks. Then one day the circus comes to town. The ringmaster comes into the pub for a pint and the barman says to him "You're with the circus, aren't you? Well, I know this duck that could be just brilliant in your circus. He talks, drinks beer, eats sandwiches, reads the newspaper and everything!" "Sounds marvellous, “says the ringmaster, handing over his business card. "Get him to give me a call." So the next day when the duck comes into the pub the barman says, "Hey Mr. Duck, I reckon I can line you up with a top job, paying really good money." "I'm always looking for the next job," Says the duck. "Where is it?" "At the circus," Says the barman. "The circus?" Repeats the duck. "That's right," Replies the barman. "The circus?" The duck asks again. "With the big tent?" "Yeah," the barman replies. "With all the animals who live in cages, and performers who live in caravans?" says the duck. "Of course," the barman replies. "And the tent has canvas sides and a big canvas roof with a hole in the middle?" persists the duck. "That's right!" says the barman. The duck shakes his head in amazement, and says .. . ......... "What the chuff would they want with a plasterer??!"

Does indeed! Good to see you on Friday matey

Fair play to the bloke, he got round and many didn't, yes he asked for a lot of fives but he'll still have picked up that finishers award at the end of the week!

Been incredible all round!! Doug has been blindingly good this week

If I can chuck my oar in, I really don't think any of us really know the amount of effort every member of the SSDT organising group puts in and while we can all bleat on about a lack of info if we like but they have a shed load of stuff to do. We each have our pressures in life but these people have their lives to lead and organise the biggest trial on the planet..... don't give them a hard time!!

I can think of lots...

Quoted £200 to have a £70 towbar fitted to a Focus...... can;'t even trust that one I g=had fitted to a Volvo a few years back cost me a new silencer because the salad chef that fitted it broke it and didn't bother telling me!! Wee vans can often be cheaper i the long run!

1. I bought some shoes from a drug dealer. I don't know what he laced them with, but I've been tripping all day. 2. I told my girlfriend she drew her eyebrows too high. She seemed surprised. 3. Two clowns are eating a cannibal. One turns to the other and says "I think we got this joke wrong" 4. My wife told me I had to stop acting like a flamingo. So I had to put my foot down. 5. What's the difference between in-laws and outlaws? Outlaws are wanted. 6. I bought my friend an elephant for his room. He said "Thanks" I said "Don't mention it" 7. I have an EpiPen. My friend gave it to me when he was dying, it seemed very important to him that I have it. 8. I poured root beer in a square glass. Now I just have beer. 9. What's the difference between a hippo and a zippo? One is really heavy, and the other is a little lighter. 10. My friend says to me: "What rhymes with orange" I said: "no it doesn't" 11. And God said to John, come forth and you shall be granted eternal life. But John came fifth and won a toaster. -------------------------------------------------- I was in a nightclub queue when two men in front of me started arguing. One guy pushed the other and said, "Four, nine." The other man pushed him back and said, "Sixteen, twenty-five." A bouncer reached for his walkie-talkie and said, "I need some help at the door. We've got a couple of men squaring up." ------------------------------------ Sad news from the Nestlé factory today. A worker was crushed beneath a case of chocolate that fell 20 feet off the storage racking. He called for help repeatedly, but every time he shouted "The Milky Bars are on me" his colleagues cheered.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I Couldnt..... ...believe it when my dad got the sack for thieving from his job as a road worker. But when I got home all the signs were there ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I delivered a parcel to the surgery today... It was just what the doctor ordered

It's actually Sven but he spelt it wrong.. ;0)

Should have come back to this, You're right Dabster ( jeez I agreed with Dabster) sales were always low. However their presence at the Scottish and other UK trials gave us the passion for the Honda marque, how many people these days would give their eye teeth to get their hands on a good original, 80's RTL!

This flying song video always makes me chuckle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VQ_3sBZEm0

A young doctor moved to a small community to replace a doctor who was retiring. The older doctor suggested that the younger one accompany hiim on his rounds to introduce him to the community. At the first house the woman complains “ I’ve been a little sick and have a sore stomach” The older doctor says “well you’ve obviously been over doing the fresh fruit Mrs Smith, cut back on the amount you are eating and we’ll see if that does the trick.” As they left the younger doctor said, “that was brilliant, you didn’t actually examine her but you came up with that diagnosis so quickly” “I didn’t have to” the old man said, “you noticed I dropped my stethescope on the floor? When I bent over to pick it up I noticed half a dozen banana skins in the rubbish, its more than likely whats making her sick” “That’s clever” said the young doctor, “i’m goingh to try that”. Arriving at the next house they chatted with a much younger, more attractive woman, She said that she just didn;t have the energy she normally did and she was feeling really run down lately. The young doctor said “You’ve probably been doing too much work for the church, maybe cut back a bit and see if that helps”. The old doctor was impressed and said, I know that woman well and she is very active in the church and the community but how did you arrive at that diagnosis” “I did what you did Doctor”, he said “I dropped my stethescope and when I bent down to pick it up I noticed the minister naked under the bed”.

Hillary Clinton decided to send Donald Trump a letter to let him know how she felt about him. Trump opened the letter and it appeared to contain a single line coded message; 370HSSV 0773H Trump was baffled, so he e-mailed it to Vanessa Trump and his children. Vanessa Trump and the children had no clue either, so they sent it to the FBI. No one could solve it at the FBI, CIA or NASA. They eventually asked Britain's MI6 for help. Within minutes, MI6 cabled this reply: "Tell Mr Trump that he is holding the message upside down."

Glen, I'll message them one I get a programme on Friday

Gary wants a job as a signalman on the railways. He is told to meet the inspector at the signal box. The inspector puts this question to him: “What would you do if you realized that 2 trains were heading for each other on the same track?” Gary says, “I would switch the points for one of the trains.” “What if the lever broke?” asked the inspector. “Then I’d dash down out of the signal box,” said Gary, “and I’d use the manual lever over there.” “What if that had been struck by lightning?” “Then,” Gary continues, “I’d run back into the signal box and phone the next signal box.” “What if the phone was engaged?” “Well in that case,” persevered Gary, “I’d rush down out of the box and use the public emergency phone at the level crossing up there.” “What if that was vandalized?” “Oh well then I’d run into town and get my uncle Bill.” This puzzles the inspector, so he asks, “Why would you do that?” Came the answer, “Because he’s never seen a train crash before.”

The charitable organization, United Way realized that it had never received a donation from the city’s most successful lawyer. So a United Way volunteer paid the lawyer a visit in his lavish office. The volunteer opened the meeting by saying, “Our research shows that even though your annual income is over two million dollars, you don’t give a penny to charity. Wouldn’t you like to give something back to your community through the United Way?” The lawyer thinks for a minute and says, “First, did your research also show you that my mother is dying after a long, painful illness and she has huge medical bills that are far beyond her ability to pay?” Embarrassed, the United Way rep mumbles, “Uh… . . no, I didn’t know that.” “Secondly”, says the lawyer, “did it show that my brother, a disabled veteran, is blind and confined to a wheelchair and is unable to support his wife and six children?” The stricken United Way rep begins to stammer an apology, but is cut off again. “Thirdly, did your research also show you that my sister’s husband died in a dreadful car accident, leaving her penniless with a mortgage and three children, one of whom is disabled and another that has learning disabilities requiring an array of private tutors?” The humiliated United Way rep, completely beaten, says, “I’m so sorry, I had no idea”. And the lawyer says, “So . . . if I didn’t give any money to them, what makes you think I’d give any to you”.

The Addict has been a superstar in keeping "Kenny" tripping along nicely...... Kenny is a legend PS Angela Merkel arrives at Passport Control in Athens airport. "Nationality?" asks the immigration officer. "German," she replies. "Occupation? "Nein, I am chust here for a few days."

The Scottish is a huge part of the heritage of our sport, disrepsect it or the Scott then you disrespect this sport and it's very very rich history. The SSDT is loved and revered in every part of the world, you only need to look at the locations riders come from every year Japan, Australia, Canada, the US, South Africa, Europe, even a man who hand built a bike and drove from East Germany to compete before the wall came down, it is and always will be the Greatest Trial of them all. HRC exist to win world championships and until the SSDT went back to no stop it was as important to the manufacturers as WTC look at the list of World Champions who have won the even, Michaud, Tarres, Schrieber, Gorgot, Burgat and nearly all the Lampkins. HRC put a lot into Steve and Eddy's attempts, it just didn't work for them. Whatever else people think and don't forget you are entitled to your opinions, until Toni Bou has a couple of Scott's and a couple of SSDT's under his belt, he'll never be the greatest of them all in my book.

Supposed to be night shift but I'll see what I can do

Ross, I'll try and get down, take some pics and get a report on here, SACU website etc etc, can't promise as yet but see what happens Cheers Donald

A few years ago I was asked to write piece for the pre-65 programme, I referred in that article to my childhood and mentioned my Martin Lampkin Scrapbook. It's safe to say that he was and always will be my trials hero and tonight I feel a wee bit of my childhood has gone. I send my deepest condolences to the Lampkin family tonight. Rest in Peace Martin

Been doing that for years.... every time I press the shutter button some folk fall off!
