RE: You know the Manx is getting VERY near when........ - The Bag - 20-07-2008
Well what a thread this has become. As The Clerk of the Course for the MGPSC I feel that I must react to the derogatory remarks made about myself and The Highly Regarded Scone Palace!!!
Whilst I can fully understand Cargos huge disappointment at not receiving a scone last year I feel his comments, if I had any emotions, would be hurtful, as the reasons for the non show of Scones were explained, with proof at last years MGP. The reason was simple, that by the time the scrutineers had taken delivery of their second double batch of Clotted cream and jam Scones, freshly prepared in The Scone Palace I might add, there was insufficient time to prepare any more due to haviung to change pistons in The Scone Rangers 250's, 2 sets each to swap and run in etc. Also Cargo, whilst YOU may not have realised it but we did YOU needed the low fat scones last year as well as this year but we don't do low fat!!!!
Jan, I am as you quite rightly point out ' distinguished gentleman'
, I don't know who Justine is but I strongly urge you both not to heed any of these slanderous comments made by the 2008 Holy Grail Chaser and indeed you are cordially invited to visit The Scone Palace at any time of day or night although I must point out that whilst I am an ex road racer and young enough to be anybodies toy boy ( ref Cargo comment) I am the C.O.C for the MGPSC and therefore could not possibly engage in such activities as we as committee members have to be squeaky clean, whiter than white etc.Scones are usually dispatched to MGPSC Committee members on the Sat 16th Aug in the early afternoon for approval for general release, then the Scrutineers just before 1st practice, quite rightly get the first public tasting, followed by allcomers from Sunday 17th onwards, stock permitting.
Boaksey, you are welcome to come and try the Scones, as C.O.C for MGPSC I will over turn the ruling that states you needed 6 tasting sessions first and allow you 2 large scones, stock permitting. However we do already have a Stealth and Safety officer for the MGPSC and he will do a thorough test on each batch before they are served.
Helen, I must point out that all of our Scones are supplied with usually clotted cream or in the event of a Manx National Clotted Cream shortage, then only the finest whipped cream is used instead.
You are of course cordially invited for a tasting session at your convenience.
Our team rider 'Brian The Scone Ranger Spooner' has been featured on the 'OFFICIAL' Manx Grand Prix website with our Scone recipe which has been supplied to the BBC for all to try.

Just click the link then click his name and you can see the high regard that Team Scone Ranger and The Scone Palace is held in.

Helen, as an "Admin" you should delete and ban such as the above blatent commercial advertising. I just dribbled into my keyboard.
.
On second thoughts, I could be persuaded to withdraw that comment on 25 August, as I will make the Scone Palace my first stopping place.
RE: You know the Manx is getting VERY near when........ - thewitch - 21-07-2008
No point banning Russ... he'll just come back... and bring Spooner with him!
RE: You know the Manx is getting VERY near when........ - The Bag - 21-07-2008
Chris you're very welcome to withdraw that claim and claim your free scone. Helen, I would be back and do you really want me to bring Spooner with me

My colleagues are psychic (as well as psycho!)....
Got back into school yesterday morning after our school trip to Scarbro, to find that our SENCO had been so concerned about us missing our school dinners and starving to death, she'd done a bit of baking and waiting for us was not one, not even two, but....
wait
for
it.....
TWO DOZEN SCONES!!!!!!!
with jam and cream and even real butter....
So I managed to get some serious training in yesterday, whilst thinking of all my TTwebsite pals....
Yum!
(Makes up for the fact that we had to manage with treacle tart and bread & butter pud in Yorkshire....)

Could 'The Bag' (will he return to ride the MGP again?) advise plan number in paddock I wish to organise my attendance in the queue. Less than three weeks to go now.
The getting ready starts this week end
RE: You know the Manx is getting VERY near when........ - The Bag - 26-07-2008
Kenny, having consulted Walmart (USA) over opening times and queing issues we have decided to operate an American queing system for the initial issue of the 2008 Scones!
It is quite a simple system whereas the people are 'want them' more than the others will get them first, stand at paddock entrance, when the Scone Palace doors open at approx 2m Sunday 17th then CHARGE!!!
Game on!! 3 weeks today first practice and the scrutineers will of course have had their first batch of fresh scones with clotted cream and jam.

My bike will proudly wear Number 53 in the Senior Classic (I was born in 1953 so this is a good sign..!!). Look out for the "Green Monster."
Not sure why all this talk about food, when we all need to be on a diet... 7 pounds per Horse Power... or so "they" say...
My sailing is late Friday the 15th, just enough time to get ready for first practice..!!!
Thanks for letting me on to this site..!! And a special thanks for letting a Yank bike in the race..!!
Cheers..!!!
