Indeedy! It is a far better meet than Ascot, I love a warm well cut coat and co-ordinating enormous brimmed hat. That reminds me, I must buy some new leather gloves. Far too many people turn up for Ascot in stretch white limousines wearing cheap clingy acrylic dresses displaying the line of their inadequate underwear if you ask me...

Haven't been for about 13 years. That was a fab day out - met a couple of Millwall players on the train whom we'd seen score the night before. Think I was more excited by them than the gees gees who I always feel sorry for on that uphill finish. Not sure my liver could hack Cheltenham any more.

Well I use Betfair a lot and you can 'lay' on there so effectively become a bookie - but I haven't the balls or the bankroll to do it professionally! I made ?100 last year....hardly gonna pay the rent is it!!! but I enjoy it immensley and im also in the 5% of Betfair customers who actually make a profit!



- for what's its worth I put my money on Kauto Star for the Gold Cup a fair time ago and got better than the just above 'evens' generally available now. I think he'll walk it.....

I had Master Minded yesterday so have ridden into profit with Kauto Star leading my hopes for it being a truly excellent week. Just trying to work out how to leave work and go to the pub at 3.30 for what should be a fantastic race....Mark, I did a bit better than that on the exchanges after KS went out follwing the injury scare so got 3s...

With some mates in the pub. Took the afternoon off for the racing. Nenuphar collonges won the 2.50.


My mate had lost all but ?8 before the 3.30 so I suggested I pick his last horse. I went for Neptune collonges due to the other collonges winning the last race. He won

?30. I picked the next horse and he won ?168!!! I am feeling lucky :))

    • DKH was two form entry, it is now one form entry to cope with the fact it was far more under subscribed than other schools in the area. They had actually combined year groups into single classes, 3/4 and 5/6.  When a school changes name, it’s usually because of a bad reputation perhaps the results.  The new name is dry with no history unlike its current name. It’s a very sketchy decision. It’s an expensive vanity project for someone.  What  will happen if the name change does not increase applications to the school?     
    • @first mate I assume Alice made a mistake, as she removed her reaction.  I was wondering about park wardens. As I said, there was one there last night, who was incredibly helpful and proactive. As well as bringing me to the police, he caught up with a young guy on a bike who'd earlier been the victim of an attempted theft by these kids and linked him up with the police too. But I do wonder, as I've only very occasionally seen him riding around, how many they have and what hours they patrol. I've no doubt they'd be a strong deterrent if they had a better presence. They were nowhere to be seen the first time around.  Update: I've just found this: https://services.southwark.gov.uk/community-safety/community-wardens The guy in the photo at the bottom of the page was the lovely warden of last night and I've just now remembered him telling me he's based in Burgess Park. Anyway, there needs to be more of them, as I rarely see one in Peckham.
