Well done guys - I imagine it was a quite an adrenalin rush if you have real money on a horse like that. I had 20 on MC just in case of a slip up but STS too short for me, although I suspect the odds reflected its class. I always maintain that horseracing is a great sport and I can admire STS performance even though not backing it myself.


I hope I have backed a thoroughbred in the 400m ladies tonight, and Richards will win, she was 1.41. I don't know what I was thinking of betting on athletics, but she seemed to coast home in her semi. Fingers crossed.

Depends how much you bet Lard - I suspect RD bet quite a lot and deserves his reward.



As for Celtic - I hope you win some money.

Bumping my own message just in case RD did not see my congrats from the previous page.....

Thanks for the congrats Mick and well done Quids too, interesting bet you've got there with Richards tonight Mick, do you know she has a history of choking on the big stage?, although to be fair she did look impressive in the semi against Ohuruogu. I think this is a race too soon after a lay off with injury for Ohuruogu so your money is looking good, unless...::o

    • 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.
