RE: Scone facts
NOD the FFSPS are ONLY available at The Manx Grand Prix, so you need to use that as an excuse to come over.

RE: Scone facts
Just came across this interesting fact

A spoonful of baking soda DOES speed you up, say scientists


Do the scones contain this performance enhancing chemical? and is it legal?

RE: Scone facts
As I recall the scones were never a production of the Ranger, but rather he was the recipient having been the victim of a windup that a certain lady had taken a fancy to him and was offering scones as a token of her affections. Said lady saw the joke, though the Ranger took a while longer having spent a nervous week smilie
