Wildlife at Oulton Park & Caption Competition

KennyG · 28 May 2006, 08:44 (Ref:1620655)

I like to inject a little humour into the marshals forum from time to time, I hope you don't mind this intrusion. Outlon park is noted for its wildlife, the majority of which totally ignores what is happeing on track.

"Excuse me mr marshal, is it safe to cross the track yet?"

And, to make your day, here is the caption competition.

So long as the rabbit doesn't try to play chicken with the F3000s as one squirrel did at the WTCC meet - lets just say that the squirrel wasn't as quick as an F3000

No the rabbits have far too much sense and even started their own grading scheme some of them are now redblacks and grading for black.

It's a pity you didn't visit me at Shell or Ken Webb etc at Clay Hill because in both boxes there was a nesting family of Great Tits.

I don't know about Ken's but the Shell birds were in and out all day a part from when the mini driver decided to join us.

Don't know about anybody else but I've noticed that the wild life ignores anyone in orange....................................................

yes i heard there was some great tits up at clay hill.........

Mike Kelly 1 · 28 May 2006, 14:31 (Ref:1620986)

Pity nobody got the shots of the squirrels playing chicken with the sports 2000 at druids!

I got him last year crossing in front of club F3's protecting his nuts.

I suppose I would protect my nuts if I saw a pack of F3's coming at me.

vw_nut · 28 May 2006, 17:09 (Ref:1621134)

now that just nuts, great shoots though

Mike Kelly 1 · 28 May 2006, 18:55 (Ref:1621271)

Great shots of mr nutkins. Thanks for geting the shot of me with Mike Fry as well! You photographers must operate on stealth mode!

gravel_monkey · 29 May 2006, 01:54 (Ref:1621600)

The STIG · 29 May 2006, 11:12 (Ref:1621865)

Never been to Oulton, but we had a swallow nesting in our hut at Pembrey yesterday...

I understand they were being used as a new safety barrier, more cushionable than a tyre wall?

Paul Newns · 30 May 2006, 16:28 (Ref:1623099)

50p to watch your car, mister (or my mates on the rescue unit will pay it a visit!).

or "Oi Scouse, put it back!"

Brian Mac · 31 May 2006, 11:41 (Ref:1623716)

With reference to the Rabbit?
I dont care how many orangemen there are, thats still my traditional route across the track.

Driver?
I saw the pork pie before you did, touch it and ill break your wrist. got it?
(who said marshals are nasty)

Mike Kelly: "How much tax credit did you pocket?"

Mike Fry: "Obviously not enough!"

Mike Kelly 1 · 3 Jun 2006, 23:21 (Ref:1626352)

Thank you C1 god!! (its a HMRC thing!)

PVDA · 8 Jun 2006, 09:18 (Ref:1629800)

I've seen kangaroo's, wallabies (small versions of roo's), dogs, cats, sheep and even snakes cross hot race tracks.

Seagulls get hit by motorcycles at Phillip Island regularly.

Are you holding this against me?

As I've always said - work is one thing but when it comes to real life, I bow to those who are better able/qualified.

So - I am a HMRC Senior Officer who happens to also be a flag marshal (the red bit on my badge is something I try to hide) and, despite my best efforts, I keep getting put into the Observer role.

But, Mike, when I work with the likes of yourself on the bank, I have to hang my head in shame that I might even be considered "better" or "higher grade" or whatever because in terms of marshalling you - and so many of the rest of the guys/gals I work with - are so much more able than myself. All I really want to do is wave my flags and be left in peace!

redlady · 12 Jun 2006, 21:29 (Ref:1632953)

well in orange we look like big carrotts so the bunny thought it's luck was in or was he just dreaming!

and now your out of the car we could play rock, paper, stone?

and "more nuts on track than in the trees" say mrs nutkins
