Title: Closer to the Edge Post by: 1.21GW on December 29, 2012, 08:53:03 AM Closer to the Edge movie. 2010 Isle of Mann TT race with a focus on Guy Martin.
Searched and I don't think this is a derby. Tried to buy a copy but I could only find non-US DVD format and no MP4s. So after some web searching, came upon this: http://www.solarmovie.so/link/play/637399/ (http://www.solarmovie.so/link/play/637399/) (Two ads will pop-up when you try to play it, but on the third try it runs.)

On-line the secret key sequence to make my dvd player All-zone capable. Do a search with the brand and model number. Title: Re: Closer to the Edge Post by: 1.21GW on January 03, 2013, 07:34:12 AM Good to know. Sadly, I use a PS3 to play my DVDs, which I'm thinking doesn't have a region code hack (or at least one I can easily perform). And I just can't bone up the $30-or-whatever that DVD players cost these days, mainly out of principle.

Of guy martin's speech. Funny story ... I was on isle of man Just after the 2010 race. After the days ride, I and a scouse Riding partner were watching tapes of the races. I tried to Identify rider's home base by the accents ... Scottish, Irish, Welsh. Was doing pretty good until Martin came on. When I couldn't Place the accent, my bud says, " he's a hill billy". I thought that meant He was from the peak district. My bud says, "no, he's just a moron". Title: Re: Closer to the Edge Post by: 1.21GW on January 07, 2013, 07:00:59 PM [laugh] I actually like his speech, though like you I can only understand half of it. I just sounds cool so I listen to it as if it were music.
Reminds me of a brazilian girlfriend I had years ago---whenever she got angry she would unknowingly switch from english to portuguese as she yelled at me. I didn't understand a word she was saying, but since brazilian portuguese has got to be the prettiest language on the planet I couldn't help smiling as I enjoyed what to me was sweet music. This only made her angrier. ;D Clearly, that one didn't last long. Title: Re: Closer to the Edge Post by: The Don on January 07, 2013, 10:02:18 PM Those Poms are make the beast with two backsing mad

I guess ;) As I recall Guy Martin has a Derbyshire accent.... at least people around there sound like him.

So, he's not being considered for the role as the next Dr. Who?
