Bob Revisited

[Bob Bull]

Bob – did you take a lot of drugs when cycle racing ?

Oy! Leigh!,
I am not sure that I care for the inference in this remark. Let me say that I never failed a drugs test ........ or won a race, or finished on the podium, rarely got in the top ten, and even then in a fairly small field, in other words IF I were using artificial aids, they weren't working. Mind you I did try Dexstrosol tablets. Does that count?

I ang you, playmates.

You've lost me there, is this some sort of cycling slang?[/quote]

Catch phrases, Mary, you are MUCH too young to know.

1. If you only vaguely recall the incident, does this mean that you and Bob were on the same substance?

I trust I have cleared this matter up?

Lance Bull.

In a, probably vain, attempt to clear Leigh's good name, I would point out that Totteridge Lane was where the local rich lived, and was not the sort of area for casual liasons of a more sordid nature, even for Morgan drivers and I quite certain that Mr Sebba can provide an explanation for his presence there.

Anyway! Perhaps it me he saw, I might well have muttered something complimentary.

Seems to me Bob ..Your a Master of disguise.
Did you ever have a part in The Pink Panther??

Mind you..After seeing you in that hat! ....

You must have Auditioned for Where,s Willie

Frankie Vaughan lived in Totteridge lane..

Was his the house with the 'Green Door' ?

Could it be, Jack that you are beginning to realise that the famous people lived in Barnet and the hobbledehoy element in East Barnet ?

Amongst us famous types were Tony Jacklin, Lord Barber, Rivers-Fletcher and Mark Blundell to name but a few. Or perhaps they were all me in disguise, who can tell.

By-the-by, Jack you can not tell from the photo, but the hat you noted carried the legend O R M A, but I have no need to tell you what it means, do I ?


Hello Sailor!


I don't know about Leigh's proclivities, but my picture is actually a 'hello airman' moment. 2784570 LAC Bull. Sir!

Lord! You do get some rubbish on this forum.

Bob – I hope to actually appear in person at BDC Silverstone on 8th August when we can have a full and frank discussion about Totteridge and Barnet and bicycles.

I will then to go on to Snett that evening to continue the discussion with Jack in between his endeavours in the 2CV.

And I think Hank was commenting on the car – which is 40 years old this year.

[Bob Bull]

Leigh,
No doubt our conversation will be cultured, urbane and thoroughly civilised, however, I do not give much for your chances at Snetterton with Jack the tintinabulationist!!

I might have a copy of the 'Handy Book of East Barnet Slang for Beginners', that may be essential if you are to get anything atall from the meeting.

Regards,

Bob.

tintinabulationist

Bob, I hate to be pedantic (as always) but I do not think that this is a word but is just something you have created.
Tintinnabulation is the sound of bells ringing. A campanologist is the person who does the ringing. There is also the problem of your apparent dyslexia because Bellinger does not have two letters R which would make it Bellringer.
Otherwise that was quite a witty contribution............

[Bob Bull]

Bob, I hate to be pedantic

Oh! Yeah! I bet you really hate it.

However, point 1. Agreed I made it up, I just thought it was a nice word that should exist. Point 2; Jack himself (no less) has on this very forum informed us that his name is derived from 'bellringer'! His ancestors had the job of warning the nation of would be invaders, such as the Vikings, the Romans and William the Conquerer by ringing bells.
Funnily enough one of my ancestors was the last person King Harold spoke to at the battle of Hastings, he said, "Mind what you're doing with that bow and arrow, you'll have someone's eye out in a minute!"

I don't know if Jack is an Anologist, but I'm sure he is camp.

two letters R which would make it Bellringer.

And you accuse ME of dyslexia?

Not that I wish to be ped..........!

Hope to see you on the weekend.

Bob

[Mary Lindsay]

And you accuse ME of dyslexia

Not sure what you mean here Bob, could you elaborate on the spelling issue as I am obviously too dyslexic to understand?

Hope to see you on the weekend.

Sadly not Bob, I was at Mallory on Sunday but the car was suffering from a self-imposed rev limit which made the racing very interesting. We need to investigate further before racing again.

[Bob Bull]

Not sure what you mean here Bob, could you elaborate on the spelling issue as I am obviously too dyslexic to understand?

Mary, mavoureen,
I probably misunderstood your meaning, I thought you were suggesting Bellrringer, assuming Estuary English no doubt.

You know me .. always rushing into print without checking my facts.

I hate to apologise again ...but!

Sorry to hear of your problems at Mallory Towers, why not write to Aunt Lindy?

Love,
Bob.

[jack bellinger]

Bob I see that you like port .. typical drink for a old rep

(its easY raelyy)

jack

[Mary Lindsay]

Bellrringer

why not write to Aunt Lindy?

I thought I was Aunt Lindy!

[Bob Bull]

But that has 3 Rs!

Exactly!

I thought I was Aunt Lindy!

Exactly!

[Mary Lindsay]

Now you're just being silly...........

[Bob Bull]

Exactly!!!!
