...come to an end, I guess. Shame we were simply awful, missed a penalty (again) and were never in the game. Going to sink fast playing like that. We've knocked Coventry out of two cups so losing to them in a stadium that isn't even theirs is a bitter pill. Chance for your lot to catch up. Roll on Saturday!

I used to do the same in Cornwall! I was always looking for a likely site for a Cornish Grand Prix! Those laps of the Nordschleife illustrate very well the standard that Edwards had reached. His racecraft was exceptional, never missed an opportunity to pass. He would have been a Le Mans regular, if not a multiple winner over the next ten or twenty years. Very cruel. I only found out after he died that he'd played his dad in "Rush". I haven't got round to seeing it yet, and now it'll be rather poignant, to say the least. Yes, racing has always had a nasty habit of throwing up coincidences like that... Bretonbanquet ( talk) 22:06, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi, i see that you removed some parts of the edit that i've made. The part that i'm citing is this: Only UCI Races are considered. This results are updated as of October 28, 2013.. I don't know why there is a necessity to remove it as it is very useful to the reader. For example if a guy reads wikipedia, in some cases without great pretensions, he doesn't undertake to read the infobox to know if the page is updated or not but prefers, and includes a wide majority, to find it in the main page. I'm not argumentative and it is not in my nature but in this case I cannot understand the reasons for the deleting. I hope that you will be able to disentangle my idea. Best wishes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.116.114.100 ( talk) 14:44, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
Well! I had no idea. That's what I get for not buying a TV guide. I won't get a chance to watch it either. Still on course for the DVD then! Bretonbanquet ( talk) 22:01, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

I see you've done some work on Oklahoma football season articles. There's currently a discussion on talk:2006 Oklahoma Sooners football team about whether the NFL draft following the season should be displayed in a table or a block of text. We need some people to put in their opinions. Kobra98 ( talk) 23:36, 9 November 2013 (UTC)
Yes, sad to see that news. He would have been successful in whichever category he chose, I think. But better to retire healthy than risk paralysis or worse, that would be awful. Big accidents are never far away in racing. It must have been a tough pill to swallow. Yeah, still top with you lot 2nd! Amazing really. Us beating Peterborough really warmed things up, I think. I still think you'll win it, but 2nd is there for the taking. Coventry on very good form, I notice. Bretonbanquet ( talk) 00:17, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
Yeah, what a disgrace. Couldn't believe it when I heard and I still can't believe it even now I've seen it. Stewards were way too slow. I'm glad Jones didn't punch the lad because technically a player can be sent off for assaulting a fan on the pitch. And he was only 16! He ought to be banned for life. Swindon fans and players have condemned it, which is something, but I imagine they'll be fined for it. At least all the results went our way! Hope you enjoyed your stay at the top – I reckon you'll get another chance soon ;) Bretonbanquet ( talk) 00:25, 24 November 2013 (UTC)
Don't get too comfortable! We might not have finished with top spot yet... damn own goal! But you're right, it's the gap behind us that's important. If we can both see off the others, then we'll argue about top spot at the end ;) Bretonbanquet ( talk) 21:54, 26 November 2013 (UTC)
Regarding this edit; there are not supposed to be any references in an article lead. The lead is supposed to summarise the contents of the article, and therefore the references are in the body of the article where the summarised-in-lede content is. Just letting you know for future reference, and keep up the good work. - The Bushranger One ping only 02:52, 26 November 2013 (UTC)
We should be getting used to this! I didn't expect you to lose today, but we should have won. We had more than enough chances. Preston, Brentford and Posh have caught us both up a little bit. We might be top but I'm a bit concerned, especially as talisman player Kevin Lisbie appeared in a leg brace :( Bretonbanquet ( talk) 17:06, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
Hey why are you deleting my contributions to Mark Webber page? Stop doing this or I will report you to Wiki admins. I have every right to add value to anyone's Wiki page without interference from you. Correct me if I am wrong.... or leave my work alone.

Okay then why is grandprix.com a 'good' source and grandprix247.com not a good source? Please advise because I intend to add more valuable material to F1 related subjects on wiki and want to do so correctly. So your advice is appreciated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Peevee27 ( talk • contribs) 03:58, 18 December 2013 (UTC)
What a big game. As far as I know, you chaps have sold out, which is fantastic. Who would think that a third tier match could attract so many people? I'm not sure what kind of side we are putting out, but no excuses! May the best team win. And yes, should we draw today, we could find ourselves 2nd and 3rd!

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Danny Kent, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Husqvarna ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
