That's one of the best videos I've seen in a long time. Honest and forthright and at times very personal.

An interesting way of doing it as there appears to be just Derek talking and no obvious questions asked.

I lived near Aldershot stadium and spent many a happy hour avoiding homework and watching the Warwicks. The references to his brother were poignant. Ultimately he confirms my belief that he was and is, simply a racer.

Came home to a houseful of bees hundreds in most rooms ! smoked some of them out in the hope that they would find a better place to build a nest .
They have now decided to swarm on the eaves and hopefully go in the basket I've tied to the gutter.
The joys of living in a 500 year old timber framed house with holes and voids everywhere !!!!!!!

Definitely a man worth listening to.

I'm guessing the vid is edited (very well) so it is seamless Derek talking. Impressive.

That's weird Gordon I've just watched a film with a swarm of mad African bees from Mexico killing people and animals in Washington state. You need to burn your house down and then shag the local bee expert,
Well it worked for them

You do lead an exciting life Gordon. I had to chase a bluebottle out of the kitchen today- doesn't really compare!

Tim- are you sure it was that way round?

delta · 2 Jul 2014, 20:54 (Ref:3429633)

Dimitrov, Iain, he's Bulgarian. One of the new stars on the bloc!

Peter what years are you talking about ?
Oh and by the way folks all the bees are back in the house, looks like we will be sleeping on the lawn in the tent !

Not worried about the age difference are you Gordon?

SAMD · 3 Jul 2014, 12:18 (Ref:3429902)

I will never forget sitting on the loo in my Belfast flat when I heard my Mum (who called once a week to check I was ok, do my washing, leave in food etc.) chatting to a local BT engineer who was doing some work to the phones that it was hard to beat a good shag. They were talking about the carpet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**Peter Mallett** · 3 Jul 2014, 13:27 (Ref:3429912)

Gordon, late sixties/early seventies. I sometimes helped the St. John's crew.

garcon · 3 Jul 2014, 13:51 (Ref:3429918)

You can't beat a good shag.

Especially on the bedroom floor.

Gordon, do you keep bees and are these yours moved, or are they illegals come over the channel under one of Colin Mckay's trucks?

GORDON STREETER · 3 Jul 2014, 20:35 (Ref:3430047)

No I don't keep bees but several people do that live nearby, these ones seem to be a continental type that has taken over the original English honey bee brought in the other side of the village to pollinate the poly tunnels.
They didn't have any ID so I assume they're illegal !

Yup. If I wasn't there I could hear you all playing. I lived on the council estate up the ash road.

gary396 · 6 Jul 2014, 21:07 (Ref:3431170)

Went for a quiet stroll in the countryside yesterday, couldn't move for cyclists. Good to see the local 'gendarmes' were after them though!

delta · 7 Jul 2014, 04:53 (Ref:3431262)

We had around six police motor bikes plus squad cars escorting us from the track into Brno Friday night . The police all seemed to be loving the occasion . When I got asked to drive the lotus I thought this will be fun. I was not told that the town was 15 miles away . Brilliant fun we were racing the side cars on the way back .

zefarelly · 7 Jul 2014, 09:51 (Ref:3431348)

Q: Does anyone have an old 550 L 13 tyre ? I want to see if one fits in the rear arch of a TT. I'm expecting not, but 450's are so small!

God knows why they don't make a 500 ( or even a 5.20) as so many cars ran them in period.

morninggents · 8 Jul 2014, 22:08 (Ref:3431954)

I think I have an old knackered one, Joe. I'll be at Brands on Sunday.

zefarelly · 9 Jul 2014, 07:22 (Ref:3432059)

I'm heading up Sunday . . .that would be great. Thanks Peter. Don't suppose anyones got a spare ticket ?
