Delta I don't understand .

the sayings older than you do wah'

Where is it you live .I might come for my holidays if I can get someone to organise a go fund charity page for me .
I think you have to Tell the go fund charity where you want to go
Have you got your own  swimming pool
and would my bedroom be on suite .as  I don't like to walk far when I have a wash

He's a recovering alcoholic delta don't give him any not even a half.

James Goldsmith went to Eton.

He received his formal education at Millfield, and Eton College, which he left early in 1949 at the age of 16, after winning a horse racing bet of £10 on a three-horsed accumulator, winning £8,000 (equivalent to about £262,000 in March 2017).[7] With his winnings he decided that he should leave Eton immediately; in a speech at his boarding house he declared that, "a man of my means should not remain a schoolboy!

Yes is your glass half full or full .you took it out of context or don't you know the full
Saying

I agree with nick .

It's unbelievable what people know on thsse gambling forums
You came out with a fact that little people know of .

Do you read reader's digest to learn things like that

No but I did get a letter through my door telling me I'd progressed to the third round of their £250,000 Prize Draw.


There are some very knowledgeable people on here, Do wah. (I wouldn't even make the C-List.)

i agree...…..just googled james goldsmith...……..he was a randy old git

I've only red a very few books and there mostly about football alcoholics and football gamblers and my Rupert the bear annuals

I know facts like Jimmy greaves used to travel on the bus many a time to play for his club.

And that George bought his mam a chip shop .not a nice house like normal people with lots of money but them

And that Roy Keene used to get fed up of his relations who wanted to come and see him play for man it's as they wanted him to arrange their flight tickets and seats for the game

Indeed. Along with his success as a gambler and investor and his opposition to the EU, he surely should be inducted into the Chit Chat Hall of Fame.

I agree with nick do you realise what you've done you've got postman park to Google who James goldsmith is .I'm too lazy to look because I know I will forget in half an hour as I can't store information .
You have put postman park on the road of wisdom with your fact

before I googled I only knew he was a tory and dad of imrans ex wife

khan*

I used to sit on the front desk at school not so I could learn
the teacher made me sit there so he could keep his eyes on
me

I don't think he kept looking at me because he might have been gay .as there was no gays in my day at my school or even in my town

do wah …………...my knowledge of tory MPs is not up to your standard

Also father of Zac Goldsmith, of course.

We didn't even have any puffs or homos

I always thought a lesbian was some kind of reptile .
I thought the lady who delivered our coal was kidding me when she told me she was one

My mam used to tell her to empty her coal bags in our yard he clear off .

I said to my mam don't be horrid to her .
My man said she's dirty
I said yes it's from the coal dust

I blame Dusty Springfield for inventing ladies who preferred other ladies over men..I think she started the whole thing.

My dad and brother and me used to sit there .we wouldn't go out in the cold and bring in a bucket full of coal .the fire would go out if it wasn't for my mam

We used to sit there in the cold many a night if she was in late from work and shopping
So she could clear all the old ashes out and make a new fire
We only shouted at her when we was really cold .as we wore our over coats till she got home to make the fire

Now and then we would  poke the fire with the poker  but my dad and myself stopped doing it when my brother would not do his turn

My mam didn't bring the heavy bucket of coal in from outside because she loved us.she brought it in so the fire wouldn't go out and she would have to start all over again lighting it

She never read me any bed time fairy tales she said she was too tired

I said to her your never too tired to make our breakfast .or clean the house or wash our clothes or darn our socks or do the shopping or go to work
I said your all for yourself and my brother agreed with me.

My mother cursed the day the Daily Mail went from broadsheet to tabloid.

"Bloody hopeless for getting the fire going in the mornings," she used to grumble.

Regarding the opening post, I went to Slough Grammar School. Does that count?

Oddly enough, one of my best friends in later life actually was at Eton at the same time as I was at Slough Grammar, but our paths never crossed until we both ended up going racing every day as adults. He does post on here very occasionally.

Was that Nutty Slack ?

Was james goldsmith ever involved in race horse ownership??………….I suppose with that many kids he couldn't afford to

Believe it or not, I was all set to go, and just had the final application to complete,
but I made a right mess of it!

My only experience of Eton is going there as captain of our 2nd X1 cricket side and us getting bowled all out for 37, extras was our highest scorer! It was most embarrassing to put it mildly.

Sending your children to an excellent school like Eton is something most of us can only dream about. I’ve got four kids so couldn’t possibly afford it, but would in a shot if I could. A private education of that standard would be a wonderful thing to give them.

All my kids will go to university, however. Given my background, that will be a very proud day for me.

When I was on the metrolink comeing back home from Manchester a few weeks ago .I heard a female talking to someone on her phone who I presumed was her partner.
I thought she speaks beautifully.Her partner asked her about something which she replied it's confeedential I can't talk about it.He then continued to try and get information from her but she stood firm and said you know it's confeedential and I can't discuss it .
That made me more impressed with her
She got off at media city where the BBC and ITV are situated .I followed her and said excuse me .have you had private education ,to which she replied yes
I said I can tell it was well worth it,your a credit to your parents .you speak beautifully .she smiled and we parted

I was worried to approach her .but I could tell she was not one for them females who would shout Fu c* off its non of your business and I was right

I like to give credit to people who deserve it .and she deserved it
I hope I didn't frighten her too much

I also wanted to tell her that keeping that cofeedentiality which she wouldn't share was a
proper lady like thing to do .but. Chickened out on that as she would Know i was vulgar for  listening in  to her phone call

Ps for those of you who can't make your mind up about me
I've not been  educated at Eton

Good evening, DWD.

Did you enjoy St Leger weekend?

Ps for those of you who can't make your mind up about me

I am sorry to Doo Wah

Good place to grt in Eton, just attended there will get you a job

Otherwise how would David Cameron or Boris Johnson ever been employed by anyone

I think education should be decided by ability not money...but we will never give up public schools

Keep the Red Flag Flying

Evgennykissin is a very good classical piano player even though  you can't sing along to any of the tunes he played .I had never heard of him untill I came across him on you tube hes excellent .but my all time fav was Russ Conway
Evgennykissin did you know he was a piano player when you gave yourself a chit chat name or did you think it was a Russian racehorse

Uble a good education is marvellous .when I had loads of money It never occurred to me once to spend any money on them for education apart from their school uniform and a few books
I thought those who sent their children to fee paying schools were just show offs .it didn't occur to me that it was worth the money
But again I was wrong

I've seen him a couple of times in concert at the Barbican, DWD.

How is Manchester today? Are you going to Gorton? I hear it is a magical place!

Did you enjoy the St Leger?

I lived in gorton when I first got married in 1975. We lived in a two up two down. With a geezer for hot water no bathroom just a tin bath that we kept in the backyard ?I put drawing pins in the wall paper to keep it up as it peeled off it was that damp .I used to go up in the small  loft in my underpants with a tin full of tar to try and stop the leaks in the roof.the neighbors were good apart from the alcoholic who lived next door to us whose alsation bit me when knocked on his door to tell him to turn the music down and that his frying pan was on fire .
We lived right next door to belle view a huge zoo and pleasure area which housed concerts and a fair.on a sunny day you could open your windows if they wasn't stuck and listen to the top acts like the Osmond's and rod Stewart 
You could see the elephants walk down the main road when they advertised their circus

Gorton is a dump .you wouldn live there unless you had no other choice  .I don't know where you got the idea that it's a magical place from.

Sorry. I just remember it as Gerald Kaufman country.

Do you remember Ancoats?

I'm in to the jumps mostly I've been to lots of flat meetings but when I choose them it was nearly always A jumps meeting .ive been on many many coach trips to the flat race meetings .but my favs were the jump meetings with small crowds

St ledger to me is just another meeting to gamble on

I met Gerald Kaufman on a market near me was campaigning .I took his Mike off him and started singing into it .he laughed but that's the only time you ever saw him at election time

Yes ancoats is where alot of haberdashery wholesalers were just outside the main shopping center another dump

I seem to remember Bernard Manning coming from Ancoats. Did you ever visit his club?

There used to be a tramps hostel in ancoats when I had a big win on the horses once I knocked on the door and asked to see the manager I don't think he wanted to see me untill I said I was going to give them 2500 pounds as a donation to buy some new beds
I think he thought I was just another tramp

Little did I know that one day I would end up in a que with the likes that  they looked after for free food

Sorry, DWD. I hope you are better now.

Yes his club was a great night out but it only had pub hours not like the other clubs .I saw him many times.his club was in harperhay

Yes, The Embassy. He did enormous works for charity.

I think Stephen Fry admired his technique.

Also, I seem to remember that AJP Taylor was a fan.

He was a man who did loads for charity and he lent his rolls royce to many people for free
When they got married

Ive seen him in many clubs .and always packed .he once led the singing  at Wembley for the community sing along .he then rushed back to his club to do his act .his mother was behind the bar  working putting all the money in the till

Is that a j p Taylor the one who wrote the book about fly fishing

That joke about him carrying his mother downstairs every morning to make his breakfast - and not many men would do that

He started his career at the Oldham Empire - discovered by Jimmy James. Both men liked the turf!

AJP Taylor was a famous historian. I think you are thinking about J R Hartley.

Johnnie Hamp made him famous on The Comedians.

Yes that's right but I don't recall ajp Taylor like I've said before I've only ever red very few books and many of those are about alcoholic footballers and compulsive gambling footballers

The man was a workaholic - could do 5 sets in a night! Finish at the Embassy and then off to Plymouth!

Yes but he was never allowed to be blue on t v which I agreed with .TV should be a family entertainment .where you can all enjoy it .and not worry if your children or the milkman suddenly burst into your front room

I think that's why milk men stopped delivering milk .with all this swearing and sex scenes con t v when they came to get paid .my milk man was a Jehovah's witness

It's been nice talking to you and I knew you would know who evergivinkissin was Ive always said you were educated and and educated people know things

I'm off now by by everbeenkissedbefore

Goodbye, DWD.

Very well done for your donation Do Wah...it proves you are a
very nice man

I used to like going to the small jumps meeting....but I don't go know.

It always took such a long time to get out of the tracks after the last race, I never liked that.

Mind you nice does not always win in this world...as you have demonstrated Do Wah

But I wish you luck for the future....I read all your posts...I find you very entertaining on here
