I think I'm possibly doing ok on Rip. Its STS that I should not have opposed. Just took me a while to believe he was as good as he was.


Of course I will be a big loser on Rip if he does not win the QEII as I might make that my big bet of September. I'm only a few quid negative for September, so might as well sort that out soonish.

No big bets for me Mick, but as I said before Kite Wood will be strongly fancied for the Leger now that Age of Aquarius has withdrawn.

Will stick to footy today, see how I get on with the 3.00 kick-offs, and hopefully 'invest' any winnings on the Spurs v Utd match...good luck!

Probably too early - but put half my stake on at a range of 2.9 to 3.35 - could not help myself.


Will put the rest on when I'm sure he will run but the odds are now 2.0 on betfair - I seem to have taken the odds down from 3.35 to 2.0 :-$ but there was not much capacity available.

Winkle odds-on as 11 stand ground for QEII

By Jessica Lamb12.24PM 21 SEP 2009

RIP VAN WINKLE has been installed as the 10-11 favourite for Saturday's Sony Queen Elizabeth II Stakes with Coral after 11 runners stood their ground for the Group 1 contest at Monday's forfeit stage.


Rip Van Winkle's trainer Aidan O'Brien holds five of the entries includingRoyal Ascot winner Mastercraftsman, while Ireland could also be represented by the Dermot Weld-trained Famous Name.


Godolphin will rely on Delegator after Donativum and Gladiatorus did not feature among the declarations.




Ghanaati, winner of the Coronation Stakes at the royal meeting in June over course and distance, is the sole filly remaining, although owner Hamdan Al Maktoum also has Group 1 winner Aqlaam engaged in the race.




Coral spokesman David Stevens explained the reasoning behind Rip Van Winkle's short price, he said: "Having chased home the mighty Sea The Stars three times this season, Rip Van Winkle sets the standard in our opinion.


"However, the presence of Delegator and Aqlaam should ensure Saturday's race provides a stern test for Aidan O'Brien's charge."


Of the other four withdrawn at the five-day stage, Goldikova, who will contest theTotal Prix de la Foret on October 3, was the most notable.


Queen Elizabeth II Stakes


Coral: 10-11 Rip Van Winkle, 9-4 Delegator, 5-1 Aqlaam, 16-1 Famous Name, Zacinto, 25-1 Virtual, 33-1 Poet, 150 Windsor Palace, 200 Set Sail

      Buying land from council?

      By vladi · Posted

      I'd be tempted to put up some sort of fence  to delineate the area and see what happens. Probably nothing.

      Buying land from council?

      By Ais · Posted

      Has anybody here bought some land from the council to become part of their garden? There are helpful guidelines on the Southwark website here including a PDF with associated costs, however the "valuation" element has absolutely no guidelines. It could be £500 or £50,000. You will already have spent £1000 on the process before finding out what they will charge you for the land - which would certainly be frustrating if it's not affordable for you. The land in question is a tiny patch immediately attached to the front of my property, approx 4 meters wide x 1 meter long. Would like to put a fence there to separate from the pavement and allow some privacy, keep the bins more tidy. The land is of no value to anybody else and is neglected currently - the council seems to have to stopped maintaining this area between the pavement and the houses on our street.

      I suppose wind could have blown rubbish out of bins down into the pond. But I also counted three footballs and some smaller balls. Regrettably, there is also what seems to be a large dead carp or waterfowl, hard to tell at distance. I just hope the water quality is okay. I am not clear to what extent the pond is managed.
