ROS now 1/8 on I think. Stephen Hendrey thinks it's as good as over before the final even starts.

Mick Mac takes over as holder of Top Tip....sorry Declan.


I hope some of you took it at 18s which is what it was when my golfer mate passed on the tip. :)

Only went and forgot to pick any horses for yesterday's race, but luckily managed a 25/1 winner with my jockey/trainer...much happier.

Don't forget there's another race today...and that includes you 'Argyle', whoever you are...

So it does. I'm just glad I'm still in the running after missing out on 2 of the 4 races. Somehow my jockey and trainer selections have kept me in with a shout. You must have had the winner of the last race, another big outsider...

No, from the website 'How to play'...


At the end of each Mini Series, you will be able to change your Jockeys and Trainers. Two changes are available in between each Mini Series making eight changes in total during the game


I think the first Mini Series ends at the end of May (last race 31st May), but I'm not 100% certain, just guessing as I haven't seen a definitive list. I'll have another look later...

Interesting stats on the PL season. Lawro did better than the bookies though it was close. If you bet ?1 on the bookies lowest odds for each of the 380 games you would have lost over ?28. They correctly predicted just over 52% of results which means they were wrong with almost half of them. What's the moral of the story?

I would join in if there was something like the Six Nations League. The good thing about the Telegraph is that it takes all the hard work out of the scoring/tables. The deadline for applications is Saturday. I'll post something in the Lions thread and see if it drums up any interest...

I've just set up a Super League, see the Lions thread for details. Argylites very welcome...

    • According to what I can see online, Dynamic Vines and Cave de Bruno sell totally different kinds of wine to each other.  Dynamic Vines  "work with independent winemakers who produce outstanding wine using sustainable practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar".  Cave de Bruno specialises in French wines and spirits from small independent producers. So two different USPs, and no doubt two different but overlapping customer bases who can afford these wines. Probably different again to the people mainly  shopping for wine at Majestic or the Co op. On the other hand, the two empanada shops appear on the face of it to be selling virtually identical products. But time will tell, won't it? Let's see how they are both doing in - say - a couple of years' time. Impossible, of course, to compare that with how they would have done if there had been only one of them. I just feel more  sorry for the original one than for  the one which can apparently already afford to have a number of shops in places like Mayfair and Highgate. I'm tempted to buy something there every week, and I don't even like that kind of pastry 🤣
    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. These Argentinian cornish pasties are clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has. 
    • Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
