January: Diary Update (13.01.07), 2006 Facts and Figures and Meniscus Writes

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!

Here's Meniscus!

What's all the noise? I'm supposed to be sleeping until March, Oh No TP's chopping up my wing, it was well knackered after I got clattered by Gary Wrench at the last Birmingham - he had no chance of making that corner on the restart (I think when he changed into 2nd gear he left his brain in 1st) Anyway he managed to spin us round and park on top of the car wrecking my wing in the process. A move like that from now on will be called A Gary Wrench or I've been Gary Wrenched... TP always wrecks my wings at Birmingham - he rolled it there earlier in the season and if it hadn't been for Rosey (My Favourite Mechanic) he would have left me there, with a flat head underneath the side panel - he hasn't got the brains he was born with.

On a more positive note that means a new wing for me - I noticed a couple of decent looking wings hidden in the corner of the garage, although that yellow one has a dodgy paint job it looks straight enough, better than the one I have been sitting on most of the season. He has got that nice new red one he got with the new car off Simmo, I've got no chance of sitting on that, its red - he'll be lucky if he holds blue - the tosser! It's alright sat here, I can see what is going on, I hate being cable tied to the wing facing the floor all winter, its bad enough between meetings or in the back of the van for hundreds of miles. (Someone call 'Monkey-line'?)

Oh by the way my name is 'Meniscus - The Maddest Monkey in Brisca', Chris (The website geek) asked me to say a few words for the 305 website as I am generally the only one in the team who knows what the hell is going on and I'm at all the meetings with the best view of all the races. If you look on the site at any pics of the car, you will probably see me - I normally face the right way, but sometimes I just can't watch, well would you with TP driving? I appologise for any speelling mistakes, typing is not my strong point(all my fingers sort of merge into one!)

I haven't got much to say at the moment, I should be sleeping (dreaming of winning the World Final and Mrs Meniscus - but that's another story) but when the season starts I will have loads of people to shout about, (its handy only being 8 inches high sitting on top of the car - people quite often stand within earshot saying the stupidest things). I'm not your stereo-typical 'See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil' Monkey. Its more 'See-it, Hear-it, Shout-it(or type in bold as my mouth doesn't open)' - if I hear it you will read about it on here!

What the hell is he doing now? - he's grinding all the rust off the trailer, I can't breath or see through the fog, I'm getting out of here, quick - in the back of the van - I'm off to the NEC.
