got caught in torrential downpour and thunder and lightning while in Betfreds this morning, had to listen to Derek Thompson talk about all Freds offers for the days dogs, racing and the world cup, although I took advantage off a cup of tea and chocolate digestives

Pour yourself a large drink, Huggy. Anyone having to listen to Thompson talking twaddle for over an hour most definitely needs one.

did you ask for ear plugs when you had the MRI scan?
If you did, you should have kept them for Betfred emergencies.

Betfreds is less than half a mile from my house but I have not seen rain come down so fast for ages.
(I do have a Will Hills at the  end of my street but I can not bet with them)

I've been in Leeds this morning huggy. I assume that's where you were. Rain came about 12-30 after a fine start to the day so I nipped in the General Elliott on Boar Lane. Not been in for donkey's years and won't be going again in a hurry. I too heard Thompson in Fred on Boar Lane rambling on about this 20 team accumalator in the World Cup which could net you 1m for £1 stake. He was really pushing it in his own inimitable style.

Meant Vicar Lane not Boar Lane.

After the General Elliott I nipped in the Horse and Trumpet. Class pub.

cant beat pubs that just stick two random things together to find a name. theyre always the best ones. the cow and feather. the cranberry and dishcloth. that kinda thing.

Very rough pubs both of 'em, as you say huggy. Finished off in the Beckett's Bank on Park Row. That is nice. Went round half a dozen shops as well. Wink

Did you place your bet in the Laddies just up from the horse an trumpet on the opposite side of the road, I ask this because the other week my mate waited outside till they opened so he will not miss the price of a dog which he fancied very strongly in a greyhound derby heat. He handed in his slip £400 trap 1 in the indented race, the geezer behind the wickets said I will have to phone this bet through, came back with the answer you can have £50 on ,my mate was furious and left the shop

(PS THE DOG GOT BEAT)

Yes, the one on The Headrow.No problems so far. Restricted in Bradford.
Report kenny mann • June 9, 2014 4:15 PM BST
I like Leeds, classy place and more chicks. Bradford is like the 3rd World, although it looks nice when no people about.
