Gentlemen, There are a few things wrong with the world we live in, but this isn't one! Enjoy my new favourite version of Thunderstruck!

I thought it was Sea Sick Steve on a day off from playing the Banjo!!

If it did I don't think it would stop Dougie winning SSDT #10 on one next year!!

Oh I don't know. If Mothercare had a Vertigo dealership, trials would be available to a much wider audience and would make shopping for baby grows much more fun! Neils on Wheels might just have come up with the business tie up of the decade!

Great news for Vertigo and well done to Dougie. Also thanks to Andy and the SSDT team for all the coverage on both websites. Brilliant as usual. Cheers.

Gutted for him as he has been such a great rider and supporter of the trial over the years.

Thank you craig10 & highland lassie. That makes sense.

Here is a question that can only be asked by somebody who is VERY bored on a Friday afternoon. How can the results that are scrolling on the SSDT web site give a score of 24 marks lost when only 5 sections have been entered so far? There is also a score of 28 showing for one rider. I thought the time penalties etc. were only added at the end of the day. so surely the max score is 25 (5 x Fives) or then 23 (4 x Fives + 1 x Three). I know that by the final scores tonight it will be sorted out. But I said I was bored and just noticed it.

Looking at the rolling scores on the SSDT web site, it looks like Dougie Lampkin has had another cracking day! Anybody out there got any news for us poor old web followers who couldn't get time off work?

That looks like it was a really tough day! If I counted it properly, only 9 riders with no time faults and some big numbers in time penalties.

According to the SSDT web site daily results for yesterday, he dropped 34 for the day while Sam Haslam dropped 2! What time did the last guys finish? The back markers were still out before Witches Burn when I last looked on the tracker at 10:30 last night!

According to the tracker function, the back markers are still on the hill between Meall Chorie Ghlais and Loch Arkaig sections. It looks like it will be a very late night. Does anybody have any gossip/news from Fort William to share with us poor southern souls following it on the web?

That really clever tracking thing on the SSDT website shows that the back markers left Laggan Locks about an hour ago, so the first books from there will be entered soon and the results page will up date - I think!

HUSBAND STORE A store that sells new husbands has opened in London, where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates: You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the value of the products increase as the shopper ascends the flights. The shopper may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building! So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband. On the first floor the sign on the door reads: Floor 1 - These men Have Jobs She is intrigued, but continues to the second floor, where the sign reads: Floor 2 - These men Have Jobs and Love Kids. 'That's nice,' she thinks, 'but I want more.' So she continues upward. The third floor sign reads: Floor 3 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, and are Extremely Good Looking. 'Wow,' she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going. She goes to the fourth floor and the sign reads: Floor 4 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and Help With Housework. 'Oh, mercy me!' she exclaims, 'I can hardly stand it!' Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads: Floor 5 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, Help with Housework, and Have a Strong Romantic Streak. She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor, where the sign reads: Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store. (scroll and keep reading!) PLEASE NOTE: To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner opened a New Wives store just across the street. The first floor has wives that love sex. The second floor has wives that love sex and have money and like beer. The third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors have never been visited.

you turn up, you ride, you observe I always thought that wasn't allowed in Nudist Colonies!!

Excellent. Thank you very much.

My wife walked in on me when I was blow drying my male member. ''What the hell are you doing?'' she said Apparently ''Warming up your dinner'' wasn't the correct answer!!

Great to see new routes and sections in. Sadly I can't get North to watch but will be following action here and on SSDT website. **Note to all: When picking a wife don't get one with a Birthday in the first week of May. I have discovered that it really hampers SSDT spectating**

He could probably ride a Francis Barnet round for a 1st Class Award!!

I think you are looking at the pictures in the wrong light. This was clearly an intentional incident to prove the strength/durability of the back protector he is wearing. It is an obvious case of product placement!! There is also the sole of the boot in picture 3 which shows little wear so he must usually keep the feet on the pegs. I know from my experience that I need to re-sole boots more often than I change tyres!. Therefore all the evidence points to a very good rider merely 'acting' for the camera and demonstrating how good his kit is! :hyper:

I might have to finally admit it, I think he is better than me!!

Well we are 3 days in and no Pitch Battle yet. Trials Central must be a hotbed of reasonably intellectual and balanced thinkers! I must be on the wrong site again!!

I got it. I even thought it was funny!

Interesting reading this topic! I was a kid at school when the milk was stopped and have no recollection of it at all. Which must mean that I wasn't deeply scarred by it like Toofasttim!! When she was replaced as PM I was in about 15 or 16 (It's not her fault that I can't do simple maths by the way) and she was the only Prime Minister I could remember, which made her being replaced quite momentous. I don't really follow politics much but I can say that she was the last Strong leader of this country with everybody since being spineless and too eager to please all sides. I wonder what will be said about John Major or Tony Blair when they shuffle off their mortal coil?

Being an Ex-Pat Scot living in Southampton (Down here on misionary work!!) I would agree with the last posts!! 10 mile drive to work took 1 hour 45 minutes this morning, most of which was spent in a que of traffic watching all the muppets slide back and forth blocking the road for the rest of us!! Was funny watching two Polis pushing thier BMW plod car up a slight incline though!
