The Last Donny

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (chopperman @ Jul 27 2009, 05:52 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>what was i wearing ?

pics ect to follow. need to install some software first.

i dunno, the man whom i think is you was sitting, but there are two noticeable people around him.

1. someone who was holding a big yellow placard saying something to or about valentino. forgot what the card says.

2. 3 or 4 men ALL WEARING seemingly see through white coats with "46" in the front middle part

person #1 was in front of this "roger" and then people#2 were about left side somewhere higher than where this "roger" was sitting.

well, just saw him and i thought "that kinda looks like rog"
 
i was on the TV!!! Again (got on it for world super bikes as well) think it was while we were waiting for motogp to start. Yellow hat long sleeve white top and bike leather tro on. Was waving at the screen instead of the camera cause I'm a numpty!
<



I got a photo of the guys on the other side with the letters on their shirts spelling rossi and the ones dressed as st george who gott on the TV. Not sure if it will look great zoomed in but when i get chance I'll up load em so you all can see :)
 
Well here goes.
Set out from Southampton at 2.45 am heading for the last Donny motogp. Arrived at Leicester forest east service station at about 5.20 am. Went for a piss then phoned Arrabbiata to make sure he was out of bed and getting ready. We met up at 5.45 then headed north to donny. Got there no trouble parked the car then qued to get in. Arrab got in but me and bonny had trouble with our scanned tickets (they didnt have a scan machine)
<
Arrab being a true gent passes me a bottle of wife beater (stella). Ok it only 7.00am and im drinking but i have been up since 2.00 am so its not like being an alkie really
<


we entered through the exhibition centre and looked at a few stalls, most were still closed as it was a bit early.

then we start our walk to find a spot. There was a stool outside the centre that were selling very nice JT polo shirts 2 for £10 (do they know something we don't ? )

i went for a piss and i can tell you that porta loo was up to the brim in .... at 7.00 am.

Excellent couple, who's the ugly guy in the ........ cowboy hat?

NICE HAYDEN SHIRT ARABI! You had me at hello.

we look at starkys outfield from the infield and see loads of space, arrab point's out that we will be able to see the big screen from the out field too.
It only took 5 mins to walk through the tunnel to the out field by mcleans then walk over to starkys. by the time we get there its starting to get very busy. The place had filled up in 5 minutes.

we get sat down and crack open another beer.

notice arrab picking his nose, i tell him to stop because its putting me off my sandwich

Arabbi was just thinking you might want some salt on your sandwich Rog. What's your problem?

Wow, that's a great view of the track. Also, it looks clear, the weather changes that fast? Amazing.

outfield starkys was a great place to watch as you can see to the right you get a great view of the crainer curves, you cant quite see the old hair pin but then you get a great view of starkys then the left turn before mcleans, if you walk left about 75 meters you get a great view of mcleans.
