I can wait till after 1

Lingfield 3.20 Transfixed win and Southwell 2.55 Clever Omneya win Wild card

OK. I'll be going in this evening then.

My hand has been forced by that last result. mine won't be big enough tonight if we have nothing else go in so it's Calgary Bay to win in the 230 at Chelts.

Sorry to go up against you with that Billy. Hopefully more than expectantly one of us will nail it!

Good luck lads

Brave effort Tingle but we knew we needed an off day for fav not to be

I did think for a moment he was going to get there. A decent 3 mile race within his compass I feel. Great effort from yours HKF. Scottish National I reckon!

Out of interest my one tonight was Dot's Delight in the 750. Borderline on whether it would have helped us, around 14-16/1 to one on the books. I shall have a nibble win/place

Good luck remaining heroes!

Booooooommm WELCOME BACK JB

Cracker jb.

I agree with you oshen, hindsight a wonderful thing

Good luck stew, you can do it

Well done JB .Come on Stewpot
you can chizel one out
A couple of interest tonight

Newbies look the danger with two to play

Captain Jaundice reporting back, gone for
Polly Holder e.w. Wolverhampton 7.20
did have a braver selection but lost that battle ages ago
just going to move the settee away from the wall [;)]

Its a team game skipper.  It was the right thing to do tactically but it wasn't to be

Don't worry boss. Any of us could have waited. We all know that you are there week in week out with limited ammo late in the day. You've done us proud and we all appreciate it. We might be empty handed but we've done very well this year.

I'm off to Argentina on the 18th. On the way back I'm at che's whilst I secure him a good price for his obscenely good wine. Nobody grows syrah/shiraz in Portugal but he spent 5 years finding the place he could do it and delivered in no time. My father in law says "en clavo" which is a rather bizarre transalation of nailed it!- We sold out his 2009 at 250 euros a case and this years will be more expensive. Shame he can only make 2 cases He does look in sometimes! -

It's been a thrill being in this team and my form has been OK I think. I want to continue and hope that we can keep the line up.We're a good outfit and a match for anyone.


Ir a ladrones [:D]

Another exhilarating profitable week thanks to JB54 - what a 'Return' [:D][:D][:D]
he could so easily have put us into the lead but for the price crashing
hope you were on early JB
but yes it was not to be

Reflecting a tremendous season lads
we were very close in every comp
a great sign of consistency & endurance everybody playing their part
and maybe a biased team view but plenty of great camaraderie from you all
that is what Undecided's comp is all about & how I think he it intended to be played
Thank you all for that, it makes the Captain role so much easier

On a personal note I know we all have good & bad runs but mine has been chronic
my last winner was about May 20 yes MAY says it all, furthermore I know my circumstances have been changing,
it will be even worse next year, and as things stand I will be missing for 10 weeks
I am sure you could improve as a result of that, but my time spent racing will also
be on the decrease, can I get any worse I here you say

So as a result guys I thought it only fair to tend my resignation
I can understand the desire (in some areas) to keep the team together
but you are running on 88% capacity with me in (unless I get lucky)

We also need to put up a Job Vacany note - ie Templesgates position
I will put up a note shortly, you can think about it

Stewpot I know from our E Mail exchanges how different your season would have been had you put up your fancies that came up during the week rather than selflessly hanging on to play late on Saturdays. Your eye for winners is simply outstanding [;)]

Anyway, with regard to your absence, I'm certainly happy to take back Captaincy when we restart or even just when you are away. Maybe others might be interested? We can sort it, but whatever we do I'm absolutely certain you'll be back with a bang next year!!

Maybe Elmer would be interested in returning to the competition with the Thieves next season? Wouldn't do any harm asking?

Oshun........your form has been far better than "okay"!!! Give our best wishes to che [;)]

I think i still have his email if you want?

Hey Oshen, how about getting some of that wine over to Thieves HQ (ie Stewpot Towers).  That'll
put a smile on his face [smiley:crazy]

You know what's best for you and family skipper and we're all behind whatever decision you make.  As
mentioned our camararderie is what makes this comp for me, our monthly threads have more posts than
the other teams put together I reckon (is that partly why we've done so well?) and thats down to the
prolific Stew and Dessie so keep it going fellas.

I'll be having 50p on all Stew's picks in the new year and then I'll buy one of Che's cases of vino [:D]

Really overwhelmed by your support lads don't recognise the guy you are talking about
so gone and got myself an agent  - Max Clifford
He's since got me an invite onto the "Get me out of the Jungle" survivors tour with Lembit Opik & Gillian McKieth
evidently I qualify for living in the dark for 5 months, with an allergy to searching trials,  and having to swallow my nasty tasting pride on a regular basis, so I may be even busier than I thought

Many thanks Oshun, btw let the delivery boy know the kitchen door will be left open, leave the case in the larder, enjoy your break
Dessie may just get that 2011 list to you for early April . . . lol . . . but it will incl Duke of Edinburgh hcp fancy
HKF really pleased it turned round what do they say about form temporary and class being permanent
Billy I am sure you've opened Oshuns xmas samplers already, that's 10x the amount I will be having on   

but the facts are
at present I will be missing for 10 of the 32 weeks
btw forgot to mention the good news next year only the last week in each month can be termed as "tactical"
at present got a quiet Jan , Jul , Aug planned typical no comp . . . lol

Review in about six weeks, a long time away yet and a few things will change by then

Enjoy your breaks guys - you have certainly earned them
