  1. I shall read with interest. I read many US blogs and literature and some of their usage drives me mad. Took me eons to work out what cilantro was!
  2. I can't believe that I have been out and about today in Peckham and ED in the only places that don't have betting shops. I now have a raging headache and can't be arsed to walk down to L.Lane. I would have put my fiver on Imperial Commander, so if he wins I shall have a hissy fit.
  3. 10 is only lower middle age. Puissance won by an 18 yr old. Think Steve Redgrave.
  4. Fair enough. Though I come from the other angle - I'm slightly potty about horses so that's what drives my interest. I find the whole trainer/jockey stuff fascinating too (but that could be as a result of reading too much Dick Francis/John Francome/Jenny Pitman ouvre.) Plus it's quite a lark to observe a horse in the paddock and pick it on looks/conformation alone rather than looking at form - that method has got most of my wins.
  5. Does your dictionary not use hyphens?
  6. Probably cleaners. They come to St John's at some ungodly hour, usually making a huge racket opening the gates.
  7. Not forgetting CS Lewis.
  8. I. Commander getting 9.0. What does that mean in old money?
  9. Give me a reasonable outsider for the Gold Cup - I can just about afford to lose a fiver.
  10. Crocus spreads in Peckham Rye are looking stunning at the moment. Also lots of catkins and pussy willow. In Nunhead Cemetery, drifts of snowdrops, cowslips and primroses are rather lovely. But - where have all the violets gone? I haven't seen any wild ones for years.
  11. I have jods and hat if you wish RosieH!
  12. Swan - 10 wickets - good chap.
  13. 'Bout bloody time he earned his keep.
  14. Is that what you call the hair of the wolf, Lord S?
  15. Struggling with yesterday's Telegraph 12 across: Mark one's financial record as a lie (12) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ E _ E _ T
  16. Ho hum - this is pretty boring. Will probably be a whitewash tour. I want drama and action all depending on the last ball. Is that unreasonable? PS: Chittagong still a good word - try singing it to William Tell Overture.
  17. If you look on the local info tab on the top right hand side, the SNT details are given.
  18. 4 - 0!!! Whoop de whoop.
  19. In homage to Hawkwind, will you be naked, Louisiana?
  20. PS - anyone fancy a day trip to a point-to-point?
  21. Did you catch the piece on R4 this salvo? V. interesting debate on making racing more sexy for its own sake as opposed to making betting the be all and end all.
  22. Salomey Maloney - JCC
  23. Qantitativeeasing is unfair to commentators.
  24. The Voice of the Mysterons
