I'm afraid I've not been keeping up with the latest forum team meetings, but are we still permitted to say 'end of'? I only ask after I made such an awful mess during the lol-gate debacle, and I'm not convinced that I'm fully recovered from that time someone said 'simple as' when it really wasn't simple.

If someone could update me as to the latest ruling, I'd be grateful.
I'm not certain but I think you can only deploy 'end of' if you've already dropped something like 'should of' earlier in the post. Naturally the post has to be definitive and slightly aggressive sounding about whatever the subject is.

"What Rossi done on Marquez was hard but fair. If the tw@t wants past he should of gone quicker. End of."

Would be perfect, I think.

The use of "end off" was justified in the context of the thread. Simple as. End of. biggrin

See above though SD - you've not followed the 'End of' rules properly so you're dq'd on a technicality I'm afraid...End of

It's a good effort, but lacks the aggressive edge required. You should have used far more bks, tt, wker etc. End of.

Danny's front tyre at the end of the race



And I guess he's probably going to need new boots for the next race....

He's right, I'm afraid SD. The covenant clearly states that any user must be dq'd if they don't adhere to the clearly stated guidelines. It's in section 3: 'Statements that sound definitive or suggestive of proof, without the need for facts'. You'll want the EU section (for now at least!!!!!) for any further clarification, or should you want to put it to the council for appeal. The End Of The World (as we know it) Committee are known to look favourably on previously respectful users, but also can be zealots on occasion, too. It's up to you if you feel you can summon the requisite bluster.

Agreed. It's the end of. An era.

I thought the Kalex was the bike to have
Suter has been testing with Passini and has been going quick, the Dynavolt team are switching to the Suter and current rider Folger has also tested it and given good feedback. With fewer Suters on the grid they could get very good factory support compared to being near to last in the queue from Kalex.

Also being given higher tyre pressures on Sunday, 2.5 instead of 1.4 no wonder they are also making personnel changes.

Which Danny? Do you mean Dani Pedrosa? I immediately jumped to Danny Kent, which made no sense at all with the orange wheel and Michelin tyre.

Yes, as we were discussing Danny Kent for a few posts and not Dani Pedrosa then it was a bit left field when those photos popped up.
