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 :))

    • I wonder where he could be deported to, Hungary the obvious candidate in Europe, perhaps he would get on well with Modi?   Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage both said Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood should look at whether Abd El Fattah's citizenship could be revoked to enable his swift removal from the UK. Farage said in a letter to Mahmood: "It should go without saying that anyone who possesses racist and anti-British views such as those of [Mr Abd El Fattah] should not be allowed into the UK." So just racists views are ok Nige?
    • Always preferred Grace and Favour to the BMC, commented in the past on this and sadly long since gone   
    • If it's the same one I'm thinking of, it was a little further down the road towards LL, probably where the Fresh Flower Company is today. I'd forgotten all about it, with good reason. I think it disappeared before Blue Mountain opened and became a pizza place? I once bought a carton of milk from the deli and when I opened it, it was solid. I did get my money back though.
    • But when was it posted?! I haven't posted any this year. I can't bring myself to pay the exorbitant cost of the stamps, and at least I can sort of honestly blame it on illness. If I can't hand deliver them, I send e-cards. I know it's not the same, but it's very much easier. And as for the people who still send pages of closely handwritten letters .... very admirable in terms of the hours it must have taken them to write them,  but they remind me of those spoofs eg x has just passed all their many important exams with the highest marks possible, y has just walked round the world in a week, z has just become the first person ever to be knighted twice, we are about to fly off for our fifteenth exotic holiday this year ....... Or else (or sometimes and) they are full of who has had what illnesses and accidents and other catastrophes. Is this just my relatives and distant friends? Am I somehow attracting these reams of handwritten paper?
