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.

Errr....idiots gambling question alert:


I went into my nearest turf accountant and placed my bets but have no idea what odds I actually got. Never bothered to find out what they were. Do I get the odds as they were at the time of my bet or the closing odds. Doesn't really make much difference since they're highly unlikely to win but you never know so.....help please....

You horsey people have ignited my interest in the sport though I'm sure it won't last. How can so many experts get it wrong though? So many favourites didn't win or even get close. If it's this difficult might you just as well invest in online bingo.????'s how did you manage to pick IC to win? Who did you listen to? Mick, what did that subscription do for you? Lost you money in seems. The experts don't seem very expert. Well done to Katie Walsh though.

All good points Declan.


I have to admit to losing a small/big fortune this week. Am very much poorer than I was when the week started.

I read the racing sections in the papers most days

I especially read bits on the big races

I look at what people are saying on Forums

When there's big favourites (in this case) I'll look for a decent alternative horse as prices will be big and an EW bet gives you some degree of insurance



But ultimately, I just look at what Mick Mack is doing and do something else.....


REAL ANSWER= LUCK...this time

I made it for you all by backing Kauto Star and Denman thus ensuring the BN fecal touch would anoint them both. If it wasn't for a Thousand kisses at 20's my Cheltenham could have been a disaster but Ms Walsh got me into ?20 profit for the four days.


Imperial Commander was a class act and I'm not sure KS would have won even if it didn't fall.


Well done Mr ????"s you called it from a week or so ago *doffs wad*

I know, kick a man when he's down. Come on, cheer up France should seal the Grand Slam and you'll have a good win.

    • So. Last night Royal Mail customer service kept me waiting a quarter of an hour with no indication of the wait time,  then closed the service down at 6.30pm. This morning I waited half an hour to speak to someone.   First they told me to make a claim via their website, then reluctantly agreed they could do it on the phone. They required both my and my daughter's name, addresses, postcodes and email addresses, plus my phone number. WHY? THEN they told me a CHEQUE for £9.85 would be sent to my address!!!!!! No compensation for everybody's wasted time, just the Special Delivery (hollow laugh) fee back. I did point out a) we weren't in the Stone Age and b) this cheque would probably either never arrive or be stuck for months in the local delivery office beneath mounds of other mail which never gets delivered. I felt very sorry for this guy. I hope he is well paid. What a terrible job to have. So now, assuming I ever get the cheque, I will have to queue up at the Post Office to pay it in. Having already queued up to post an item for a non existent service in the first place. GRRRRR. Can I be bothered to write to the CEO? No, probably not. I'll just get some bland standard letter back sent by some other poor person with a terrible job.
    • Thank you for the warning. There have been instances of vulnerable people targeted by scammers in this area, so we do need to be mindful of our neighbours.
    • Lots of very good places around Rye Lane. I'd say there are the long-standing great places like Levan, Mr Bao, Oi Spaghetti, Peckham Bazaar and (towards Bellenden Rd) Begging Bowl, Made of Dough, and Artusi.  And then the newer places that we've been enjoying include Janda Diner, Taquiza, Hausu, En Root, Messy Mary (currently at Copeland Social). We are spoilt for choice really! Depends what you're looking for - some of the above are cheap and cheerful, others much more fancy
    • Yep dangerous and worrying and plenty on here seem to either not grasp that or are perfectly ok with it - which is more worrying you think cancerian or any other reform voter will be any happier if reform win? Sure, just like Brexit they will laugh at the lib-tears but as reality hits, nothing but more anger and complaints   And as we see with Brexit and Trump, finding out too late doesn't solve anything
