I am sure he is really worried wot you all think. He owns a very nice house in Primrose Hill, a very affluent part of North West London AND ALSO OWNS THE HOUSE NEXT DOOR FOR STORAGE PURPOSES!

Not bad for a self proclaimed failure who a lot of peopul laugh at. Like him or hate him, he has made the most of whatever skills he has and is a lot better off than most on hear imo!

Anyone who takes him seriously is not to be taken seriously!

I hope this clarifies the matter.

might have been a different story if C4 never threw him a lifeline
when he needed it.

I don't dis-like the bloke at all, he's eccentric, totally bonkers,
right out of his tree and playing with half a deck, entertainment value.
Apart from that, can't fault him.

Denathorn - I used to think the same, but he's the only person I've EVER done a complete U-turn about an opinion, in my life!

He is a self-serving piece of detritus, and is intent on 'leaving his mark' before he pops his clogs!
Our NH racing will be in jeopardy in the next few years (just like Australia) because he is a 'mouthpiece' with this whip business.

If the Animal Rights Brigade can be compared to Hitler, he's Rudolf Hess!

There's indelible evidence that he's a hypocrite of the highest order, and has ZERO credibility!

Amazing to see the OP's link and realise McCririck has been getting away with talking sh*t and behaving like an absolute pr*ck for over 35 years, and he's still on tv and doing the same. We're either a very tolerant nation or a nation of sheep with no discernible taste.

Agreed, he cares as much about horses and their welfare as he cares about anyone else (bar himself) which is nil, zero, nothing. He mouths off his false, and pointless, claims regarding the whip because it keeps his name popping up, which enables him to pop up anywhere that will give another cheque. A greedy self centred oaf.

"So...a person's worth is measured in bricks and mortar is it ?"

In some peopul's minds it is!
Someone's worth varies according to how different peopul measure it. I, personally, do not admire anyone for what they possess. I personally measure the worth of peopul in terms of what money cannot buy. FRIENDS, for example, and how friends value you. Anyone can get more money and buy things. Good friends cannot be bought. The point that I was making was, that, smelly or not, obese or not, obnoxious or not, he has made the most of whatever ability he has. And he has made a very good living out of that. To me, that is a skill.

How many on this forum have not made the most of their own abilities? Quite a few I reckon. I admire someone who recognises his own ability, limited or not, and takes advantage of that.

I hope this clarifies the matter.

so he bought a couple of houses at the right time and at the right price,
apart from the cult of tv celebrity he would be a nonentity.
working in an office avoided vigourously by all female staff and described as creepy by all  and shunned at social occasions.
and punched in the throat frequently in the pub in all probability.
if you read his autobiography on how how was prepared to do a runner whilst a bookie if a fav had won it tells you all you need to know about him.
if not for tv and clowns who pray at the alter of celebrity nonentities he is instantly forgettable.

If he wan't watched, they would not put him on tv.

By all means hate him. BUT, and it is a very big BUT, I am sure most of you will not deny he has made the most of what he has got. That is my only point.
