Plans for New Years Eve?

[vernon]

Speedway review is on sky sports tonight, that's made my staying home even more enjoyable

Is speedway still a going concern?

I used to watch it when Ivan Mauger was active but I can't say that I've seen much of it covered in the media of late.

Baby sitting for us tonight.

But tomorrow MrsAF and I are off to Matfen Hall Hotel in Northumberland, so looking forward to that.

Yes mate speedway is still very much active, sky sports cover all the Grand Prix events (champion crowned after 14 events world wide) as well as the Elite league season and some national league events (mostly Mondays nights)

That brings back memories of Phil Crump and Crewe Speedway - paying for the privilege of getting showered in grit on and off for 2 hours.

I've achieved it. I stayed awake long enough to hear the fireworks.

a soupcon of sky lanterns preceded research on getting a fireworks making license.

As part of getting a firework making license ... do you have to detail your past experience with fire and incendiaries? Yep ... I can see you getting that easily

I can demonstrate an awareness of the hazards of fire, flame and fireworks which should negate the need for a provisional license.

New year's eve involved a bottle of this:

and a meal which was one-third Jamie Oliver, one-third Ocado and one-third made-up. Fortunately, the made-up bit worked. :-)
