That was a very useful thread.

Wot wot?

It was a joke, Macroban. Don't take everything so literally old boy.

Half - wit (as in Macroban)

Backed Ireland to beat Cyprus at tonight at 2.14 - thought those were good odds, more importantly a big win for ROI and also a good away draw for NI.

Good win for Scotland 2-0 - lets hope thats a good omen for Irish matches tonight, both playing big games too.

Yes, was good - thanks for that Georgia. (wrong'un indeed...)

He is unstoppable. Very impressive. Beat two very good horses easily.

Thay are outside our house working on it as we speak.

Thanks Guys. Nice to meet some of you last night too. I got home eventually. Oh PGC - you missed out on the double scotch I owe you last night. I have not forgotton. And as for the pool Quids - I don't normally play like that, don't expect to see that again. Was good to see you. I'm sure we will catch up for a footie game at some point (maybe when West Ham are playing someone interesting!).

That's superb MM. (very good too BBW).

Sounds like its all pre determined Tony and I guess its not rocket science. But at 41 I still like to go out in ED - however I am beginning to feel a little old for most of the pubs, so maybe my time has come. [up for a big night tonight though, oh and I'm out again tomorrow...]

I'll be there with a couple of friends for a birthday beer, so look forward to meeting you Sean, and the others.

I thought you were out last night Sean - does your social life know no boundaries?

I think you hit the nail on the head with that last post Jeremy. And I accept you have phrased it much more diplomatically than me. Your last paragraph - there are few teenagers because of 1) the lack of suitable education and 2) the relatively recent increased attractiveness of the area. We will continue to see a drift of families from ED and hence low teenage population unless we address the secondary schooling issue soon. I have said before I do not want to leave the area but we may have to.

Thats right Fuschia - that's how I understand it, Academies are created to solve specific problems which tend to arise in inner city deprived areas. ED needs a school, or another school which is not aimed at solving a problem but with getting the best from the children of ED. The demand for primary education this year suggests this will be needed sooner rather than later.

Yes - I'm determined to be on the horse that finally beats STS....and it might be this weekend.

And while I'm on a roll - I have backed Fame and Glory to beat the legendary STS on Saturday.......on the basis that the ground is already a bit on the soft side and I can't see it stopping raining in Ireland, ever.

Have had a small punt of Andy Murray for the US Open at 4/1 to win his first grand slam.

I'm sure you don't make mistakes like that BBW. I bet you're a right little Fred Dibnah.
