Could - and will be - worse. Not very exciting cards tomorrow. A few good races but which idiots decided to stage most
|

By:
That's interesting - just deleted my half-formed post - then it appears. Was going to complain about the idiocy of holding all big races on a Saturday - thus diluting/reducing fields/top jockeys. Utterly moronic. Talk about a sport committing suicide.

I haven't been to a pub for over 5 years.

I go to the pub just about every day I'm in England. I had a few brandies tonight, but usually stick to several coffees and a few games of pool.

I know deep within myself that I'll never be happy. |

old style politicians with character. I remember our local MP George Brown (later Lord Brown) standing with my dad in front of our lounge fire warming his @rse, and drinking a Double Diamond straight from the bottle. Yes I know he was a p1ss head but he was a p1ss head with character.

Fog. So thick you would get lost walking home because the buses had stopped and couldn't see across the road. It was always very quiet as well.

after (or was it before?) the national anthem was played at the end of the day's TV, you would be reminded to switch off your TV and just to be safe unplug it at the wall too.
