A guide to Menisc-ese

Being a monkey, Meniscus has his own way of talking. Sometimes it seems like he's being a bit grumpy and  even downright insulting. I can assure you that he means it all! Anyway, just so you know what he's on about - here's a glossary of regular insults used by Meniscus...

'TP' - 'Toss Pot' - Driver of the 305 car!
'Simmo @ Brum' - Somebody not going very quick!
'Gary-Wrenched' - Taken out by someone out of control!
'Scrot' - Short for scrotum (Latin for scrutineer!!! Honest!)
'Flyin by wire' - Meniscus has taken control of TP's driving... Thank God!
'Being Meniscussed' - When there is no other explanation for other cars falling to bits, throttle sticking etc...


MENISCUS'S TOP TIPS:
1. Measure twice, cut once!!!




You Know what they say...

...about the bloke who invented decorating, don't you? - 'He wants F....g!'

I don't believe it, I've been sat on this wing for 13 meetings watching reds, superstars, whites, yellows and blues all lapping the useless Tosser! Then what does he go and do, when he finally gets the car set up on scales - he leaves me tied to the blue wing facing the floor in the garage! He goes off to Barford with Mikes old Yellow wing and gets a 2nd and 3rd, both well in front of Mike I might add(maybe not that far in front in the heat - a little bit of rubbing was going on, but not enough to take TP out).
 
All that rubbing was done by the man who is so loved-up at the moment, he can't be bothered to go to Buxton on a bank holiday Monday - what's that all about?Have an argument and go racing...
 
Quick interlude (Imagine the screen going all wavy, someone playing a harp and me thoughtfully gazing into the distance)...
 
That reminds me of a story that Les Brown(643) sadly departed, told me. It was about 16 years ago (I'm not as young as I look(Meniscus that is, not Les - he was ancient)), anyway, he was telling me, while he was getting stewed on a bottle of Jack sat on his trailer mudguard with Pete Manser(714) (That is 'Lip Manser's' Uncle)(Current Barford Banger Driver 714), sorry I'm digressing again, he said 'that he was fed up with 'her in doors' so at the end of an argument one Friday night he declared - 'I'm going to the shop to get a paper' - slamming the door behind him - he hooked up the car and went to a Skeggy speed weekend. 'Excellent' I said - 'when was that?' and he said 'Last night' and then stood up and fell over, closely followed by Pete Manser! My hero!(Les not Pete - he's still alive, so no way is he my Hero - but he is ancient!). I don't think she noticed that he hadn't brought the paper in on Sunday night - Stupid Women!
 
(If you didn't understand that paragraph read it again and pause where there is a comma and group the bits in brackets together, if it still doesn't make any sense your an Eedyat!)
 
...Anyway Mike, get over the loved up stage and come back to us - full time, we need the crack! - oh but what is that thing on your wing? A shark - is that a reference to Greavsy(The salesman?) or is he supposed to be competition for me - he's got no chance(It is a he, isn't it?) and once TP gets that Lemon Top up to full speed and a few more 17 point meetings, we will be back to blue top mediocrity for the rest of the season - I hope!


Mike's wing-shark... Competition for Meniscus??? Pah!
 
Back to the racing - Buxton on Monday(he forgot me again, cos after Barford he decided to 'emulsion the utility' - that sounds dirty, but he was just painting the room next to the kitchen, honest!, so he had to change the diff in the morning and then was late setting off and then was late getting there and missed the practice and then put wets on and it dried, so changed the two outside tyres but didn't have time to do all four.....excuses, excuses) - the upshot of it all was that he got a bit sideways - 702 went over his bonnet and knocked the distributor cap off in the first heat - the distributor lead fell off in the consolation(Meniscus strikes again - I'll teach him to leave me at home, with that little metal clip and screw that holds the dissy lead in). He did managed 7th in the National - 4 points from yellow, perhaps blue is a bit further away than I thought...you know what 'Summer and Yellow' means - Corn fly's - 'Mostly stuck in your teeth' - Oh Joy!
 
I'm not letting him leave me here for next weekends Skeg Speed weekend, which we have a booking for, I'm going to get strapped on to that yellow wing tonight. Hopefully Mrs Meniscus will be there - I haven't seen her for over a year (my arms aching). She was kidnapped by that other useless 'Loved-up Lemon-Top' 501 Jason Ward. Bring her back to me Jason - I need to mount her on the wing next to me - OO-ERR Misses!
 
See you all at Skeg

You know what they say about the man who invented F....g, don't you?- 'He wants Decorating!'

For all those reading this who are under 18 - Replace F....g! with 'Forgetting' or 'Flatulating' or any other word that begins with F and ends in G. If its still funny have a laugh and let me know so I can have a laugh later - its like an interactive story that just keeps giving!

 You can answer too-ooo-ooo! 

All hero worshippers and sicaphants can email me direct - I might even reply if I can be bothered.
