Strangely, I picked and backed the wider every year that I lived in Liverpool, and have failed to do so even once since leaving. As an aside, the busiest days work I've ever done was working in a Coral in Liverpool in April 2000, it's mad up there on National day, absolutely everyone has a bet!

Had a look through and the two that look interesting so far are Darkness and Himalayan Trail.


Darkness has a lot of ability for the weight it is carrying and seems to be coming back into some sort of form.

Himalayan Trail has been hurdling in preparation just like Monty's Pass (same owner), but has previously won the Midlands Grand National so has stamina. Looks to have been held out specifically for this race for some time.

My mum said that a woman at her bridge club thinks Hear the Echo is worth a bet and I just asked my friend Jenny for a number between 1 and 40, she said 26. Therefore my tips for today are:

http://form.williamhill.com/iibs/silks//11383.gif 26 Fleet Street 125/1

Regulars at William Hill by the Uplands grumbling that they are delayed laying their bets on the dogs as the long haired clueless masses (ok just ME) queue up to ask silly questions about betting slips.


I have:


Brooklyn Brownie E/W @ 28-1 and


Parsons Legacy @ 18-1 to win


I have just mowed a lawn, the sun is out and I have cold beer. Don't really mind what happens to my stake!

Used to work in a bookies on grand national day. Guaranteed to annoy the regulars, they should have a separate till just for dog bets I think.


I'd have been guaranteed my money back. Non-runners are wonderful!

      Hand car wash

      I can't answer your question. But on them generally: it's changed hands in the last year or so, I think. I paid £35 for interior and exterior and they did a crap job. I'll go to the one on Herne Hill (or just do it myself if health allows) next time.

      Shower enclosure installation

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags.

      Plumber recommendation - A.F.E Plumbing Services

      Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
