Disgraceful Rider

The internet domain name .xxx may be resurrected to bring adult websites into one place as I understand it. This seems to Rider to be a good thing so that everyone knows how to access such stuff should they be so minded – hitting the wrong key and finding yourself looking at something very strange has been known to happen. Presumably blocking would be easier too to protect children. In a leap of logic Rider was reminded about watching a TV programme called Pawn - a Pawn Shop business in America, run by a grandfather/father/son team who are all ‘characters’.  It’s amazing the stuff they have in their shop – sometimes they buy and restore to resell as they did with an old soda dispensing machine.  They bought a huge ‘teach cowboys to rope a calf machine’ once – a mechanical calf on rails came out from beneath the mechanical horse, at various speeds, the cowboy sitting on the horse then tried to rope it.  If Rider could have afforded to import it and take it to Bramham 3 Day Event, a fortune might have been made. Sometimes an expert is called on – like with guns/coins/musical instruments. What makes the programme so watchable is the banter between the 3 chaps and the oddities that come in to pawn – both people and items! Have a look at this programme if you can find it…
