Ode to Dave and Dogger's bad day in P1 Superstock

There was a young fellow called Dave
Who was Champion in Honda both ways
He showed P1 hopefuls
His wake oh so woeful
But the officials had the order of the day

There was also a fellow called Dogger
who's help dished out the slaughter
The chequered flag they did win
Until the Fox he stepped in
And to the champ he did render a oncer

There's a fleet so diehard in P1
Who's desperation to win knows no bounds
When the wildcard struck
It fashioned their luck
Then Q followed D; laughs all round


All of you should know how and why
NO 500 notes to Curtis to comply
So yet again we find the way
The Lord favours those who pay
And they wonder why the UK sport so runs dry


In honour of a fine Honda Champ and dishonour to those less sporting (bad losers)


Dave and Dogger you won the moral victory. Showing that 150 fleet how it's done!

The good thing is it becomes even more clear that if you don't pay Curtis and his cronies you don't win. And guess what? Don't bother mate complaining to the RYA, I tried that once and got DQd after the event for it!! Remember Liverpool 08?

Joke City in Conflict of Interest Land!

I know old chap it's just not Cricket...or um perhaps it is!

Still rumour from the Middle East is they are trying to sell the series to the Middle East..

Perhaps that explains the mass press releases and the desperation to get more boats to the show!

You know what...the strange thing is they never call me...I can't understand it. No special individual deal to get involved..after all it is such a lovely yellow boat and would make up the numbers? Do you think I've blotted my copy book with the love Triangle?

I suspect it's probably got more to do with no-one really likes you.
