Where is the mainland? Do you live on Isle of Man or some other Island of Britain

shy talk

rupert the bore

He shames Ireland. Makes it seem like a nation of pikeys.

He's the ultimate pikey really. Does things wrong and cries like a baby when challenged.

hes a legend.fair dues to him.sir mark is at it for years and he got a knighthood for it!!

Agree kavvie, he is a legend.
Its easy to sl@g him off and call him names.

Like a lot of forumites I have a particular view of Mr Curley . Based on traditional tags , reckon he should have been a Cork man  rather then from Irvinestown ( nearly ) , and should actually own Kew Tour the horse . A friend of mine was in class with him .

Yesterdays activity , which I was blissfully unaware of as I was locked into the cricket most of the day ( although I did back the first of his fourball at Brighton , but not at 7/1 )was obviously an attempt to extend the national debt . Has to be meticulously planned , which apparently it was .

No idea of the relative merits and form of the horses involved , but I reckon yesterdays activity will generate further restrictions from the bookies . Seldom back multiples myself , so not going to affect me much , but can see notional limits on multiples being (re ) introduced .

Some of the winnings should find its way to Africa , so thats the silver lining .
