"its nice today, dont think ill need any waterproofs...."
"is it safe to eat my pork pie now?" And finally....... "these drivers are really well behaved today arn't they?" All the above has got me in to certain amount of trouble with a post chief, normally with them saying "if it all kicks off/rains now its all ur fault!!!" Oh and must not forget "the met office said its going to be dry and clear today" 2 minute later it was raining!!! Last edited by Johansen2000; 19 Mar 2013 at 09:33. Reason: added another |

When witnessing an intense 5 car battle that might not see them all finish, 2 cars make enough contact to deserve an note- "car 37 and another car made side to side contact, both continued, i'll inform you of the other cars number next time around!"

When looking at your watch and the timetable "We're 25 minutes ahead of the schedule!" normally means we'll run to the curfew and have the last two races cut short
and "Nothing ever happens on this post!" followed by

Reminds me of the Silverstone School single seater races years ago, when you got 30 identically painted white cars hurtling into Copse and you had to get the numbers of who hit who.

The first race is then red flagged, numerous full lifts etc etc and I either run out of time or daylight. Oh and usually a sense of humour as well. |

For the start when FFords were at there best....
"For what we are about to receive" A spinning car(s)...... "Weeeeeeeeeeeee" A car bouncing across the grass/kerbs...... "Bumpsy daisy" A prelude to an incident...... " he ain't going to get round here at that speed" Seeing a backmarker cut up the leader...... "I ain't waving this for my health you know" A big lockup...... "Whoa neddy" A very near miss..... "new overalls please" |

He can't park it there...
Used many a time, but particularly when Mr Meyrick hung his car from a tree at the gold cup in 2007. RUN!!... Three Caterhams hurtling into the Lakeside barrier. There's not enough of these to crash... Open sports cars, eight of them, four of which ended stricken in the middle of the track at Old Hall. Red flag!

"you can't get three cars through there" followed by "told ya"
"bugger off, Bloxham" followed by a screech of tyres and a loud banging noise "bugger off, Bryant" followed by a screech of tyres and a loud banging noise "Kilo one-four in the gentleman's department" radio call after a biker had been hit in a very sensitive area by his bike "Is it in a safe position?" "Yes. As long as no-one hits it" And finally, to one Mr. Kelly...... "I don't care how good your magnet is, I'm an excrement repeller - it never happens at my post, just the ones either side of me"......... |

Shouted by the IO on the assembly lap (not even the green flag lap!!!) "WE'VE GOT ONE!" This is when I discovered Do-nuts are the new pork pie!

Usually when seeing a "Spinner"........."He's An Accident Looking For Somewhere To Happen"
Once when I spotted a Blue & Yellow flag out at the same time......."He's About To Be Overtaken By An Accident" |

This might only be me, but during the Fun Cup:
"Only 3h58mins to go...only 3h56mins to go...only 3h55mins" which is then usually followed with death threats by my colleagues

I remember a crash at the hairpin at Mallory in which one car finished on top of another car and couldn't be separated. The race was stopped and when Don Truman arrived on the scene he said, 'Now that's what I call a f****** accident'!
