  1. Ah Quids, thats unfortunate - I don't want to boast too much (well maybe a little) but I was one of few who went on Denman last year (although he was favourite I surprisingly did not know anyone else who backed him). I went on K Star in the King George on the basis of Paul Nicholls saying he was back to his best and I think that day he was (although I have not paid much attention since then). You are going each way on Exotic Dancer and I think he is a very good each way bet at 12/1 but will you also back K Star or Denman? I could not go against K Star after the King George run.
  2. YES - ME, ME, ME..... I'm going to go big on K Star this year. Will take Gold Cup afternoon off and watch it with mates in pub. Went a few times over the years but we have decided Cheltenham is too crowded. But this should be a great thread Quids - look forward to some racing debate come Cheltenham week.
  3. Save you money LG. Its better you save it than Arsene saving it.

All top quality player > who didn't win enough caps for England. Yes jah. I remember tony currie being a great player. Was wasted with games in the home internationals and then dropped for the real games.
  5. Yep, make your selections carefully for the next stage of matches - I think there is fair bit of skill involved but also its tries that matter and my mate seemed to have most of them covered this weekend.
  6. David - I think you are doing really well, 289th position overall. I have a friend in another league who is 179 overall.
  7. Private Dancer - Tina Turner
  8. devil fish? (Only poker player i know)
  9. It will be very interesting to see what Harriet Harman has in mind....await her next move with interest. We the people and the government and the world economy are all victims of sub prime, and the stupid "AAA" risk attached to the securitised assets which all banks bought into with their cash reserves. I blame the risk agencies, Moodys, Standard & Poor or whoever rated these "assets" for ALL of what has happended. Fred should keep his pension, he negotaited it and its been signed. He built up a huge banking empire and but for the incorrect ratings attributed to sub prime he might still be building this bank. Eventually he did fail in the eyes of the media and the people, but not in terms of his employment contract, if he is asked to go he is entitled to a termination package in line with his earnings. There is nothing the government can now do about that, I would be very surprised if there are any changes to his termination arrangements.
  10. Town called Malice - the Jam

  12. Have you got a question for us ???? ??
  13. The boys are back in town - Thin Lizzy
  14. I have a theory that if you get a hot day around St Patricks day (17 March) you are in for a good summer - works every year. First summer I came to the UK was 1990. 18 March that year I was wearing a t-shirt in a pub beer garden, coming from Ireland I could not quite believe how nice it was. Turned out to be a v hot summer - I have used this theory every year and its pretty accurate - if you get hot weather mid March, you can all start planning your holidays in England. I'm happy to personally guarantee this.
  15. Maybe Barcelona might want Marc Crosas back - very good midfielder they sold to Celtic - here's his goal from the weekend - you won't see a better half volley. Crosas goal...
  16. SP - Surely you can be more confident than that - why the concern about away goals - surely you would be confident about winning on your own patch? MU, best team in Europe - I predict they will beat Inter fair and square.
  17. Major slip up by Villa today - Martin O Neill will have had a few words to say in the dressing room after that - 2 points given up.
  18. Yes, well done, he was Azerbaijani, Tofik Bakhramov. Thought someone might suggest him earlier, not many people find fame as a referee.
  19. No - he made his mark on the game aged 40...
  20. Pope - Nope.
  21. What european footballer, born in 1926 suffered a serious leg injury which ended his playing career which led him to become a referee. He would later become famous.
  22. chris oti. (im with knowledgable rugby pals today).
  23. :)-D guinness pls. Just settling in for the big game later on. Do you also have a guinness hat, i hope to be celebrating. And why dont you have one for yourself dear chap.
  24. frank sinclair sorry wrong thread. Was doing kids breakfast at same time. Cant do multi tasking, am a man after all.
  25. There seemed to be some positive vibes this week - the US chap Bennekke (no idea on spelling) sees pick up in 2010, high profile people investing in commercial property, minor improvement in consumer confidence, M&G starting corporate lending fund to take up the slack from the now cautious banks, perhaps things are slowly beginning to turn.
