****Humbugs April Team Tipster Thread****

if it carries on drifting as it is, we could well reach three figures!

shameful  sorry team.

Well done Humbugs, we didn't turn up today

Thank you Andrew
Not to worry yeahyeah. The Thieves are the League Champions ( Grrrrr ) but they swapped ryanwe for petemac     

Thieves it is.
We HAVE to win. It's deeply personal since they recruited petemac just to annoy me. Must be that,it can't be for his tipping skills.

Congratulations on your win yesterday, best of luck for the remainder of the knock-out competition.

Salmon we are Gunna Wup Your Sorry Arse so hard you wont be able to sit down while you are picking your Pathetic Odds on Tips.

Thank you hoof hearted.
Nice to see there are still SOME gentlemen in the Comp.

If you would like to raise the flag of surrender Salmon before battle commences i will ask permission from my Captain Stewpot and see if he is willing to accept it will save youself the pain that you are about to feel.

I am considering whether to ask Lampus to thrash you for that outburst petemac.

The Humbugs/Thieves competition has always been fun Good Luck guys, may the best Captain win!!

Taxi for a Salmon!!

The thieves  will  wish  they  have  never  been  born
after we  finnish  with  them  1.001

Will be a saturday to savour, thats for sure....

Brooks-Coulson  Soho Bookmakers got
Humbugs 4-7
Thieves 11-8


Only Gold  will  be taken

Breaking news.
After an anonymous tip-off from a man with a broad Cornish accent undecided made a spot check on The Thieves. 7 of them tested positive for anabolic steroids and have been banned from Your Comps for the foreseeable future. petemac was clean and will be making all 8 selections     

I'll have 8 cornish pasties to win 11 The Thieves please

yer on







Mug

Salmon

More importantly Salmon has been dreaming of this day of destiny for many a fine month and has deliberately been plying me with vodka all winter long in order to get my handicap mark down in order to supply a winner  for this fine occasion -add into that that the dealer is sh1tting winners left right and centre elsewhere  then may i suggest Lampus that you double up your cornish pasties bet becos the lady`s not for returning and Petemacs gonna be doing some Gurning  when he gets his ass whipped again

The Thieves have broken the deadlock and picked Solwhit       

Come on Quevega

Jammy  thieves  got a 10-1 winner  E.W  thou

BOOOOOO !         

Song for Salmon Shearer and co

For he's a jolly good fellow
For he's a jolly good fellow
HONG KONG FUEY
For he's a jolly good fellow.

There is an annoying midge-like thing on this thread. Can't seem to get rid of it.

I'm afraid I am running away at the height of battle and fulfilling a long-standing weekend engagement. Lt Lampus has been informed and will be taking charge. Please obey him in every particular,just as you would me.
Hopefully I am leaving you with a winner to more or less neutralise the midge's friend's lucky guess
4.55 Punchestown - Panther Claw e/w
If mine is a n/r or you need a wildcard at longish odds I quite fancy Michel le Bon in the Whitbread.
Good luck Humbugs and once more unto the breach.

Trying Farraaj 2.45 Sand

Cheers

Good Luck de44ek4

gone for a decent priced one -Balthazar King ew in the Whitbread
G/L Everyone

Intrigo 2.10 Leicester

Godd Luck

I will pick later! If I havent posted by 1530 I have forgotten, but that is unlikely obviously!

Morning team
Done there s  no  panic  e.w  3.50 Sandown

G/L  All

Gone for Forgotten Hero in 4.55 @ Sandown - Good Luck Team

4:45 Market Rasen - Diamond Frontier - 10 pts win

and if he's beaten into third by riguez dancer and unforgettable I'm not going to be happy!

Go Humbugs!

We off  to  the day with a winner  thanks   to  the dealer
W/D

yes!  wd the dealer

I havent forgotten! I might wait and see what happens in that 3.50 race!

Thanks twm
as long its  befor 4.0  lol

Tidal Bay did it in 7m 50s in heavy so you'll have minutes to spare twm

Oh dear. My internet and my Sky died on me during the hailstorm. And now my tactical planning has all gone to waste.
Having said that I only had one choice that would have now helped. I will let you know after 19:30 if it would have mattered!

Taxi for twm!!!

I dont think the competition insurance provided by Undecided Assurance covers acts of god twm!!! Unlucky.....I got cold feet and ran to post mine midway through race and missed our winner lol.....

Well fortunately I wont feel too guilty as if I had just picked this morning as normal out of 3 I had on my mind,
2 have already lost and the 1 left isnt a big enough price. So I am not going to punish myself too harshly!

lol no its only fun at the end of the day

Good efforts from 2 of the team gave us a respectable total but what can you do when petemac gets a 14-1 winner.     
We haven't got a week off. Playing somebody or other for 3rd place.

Welcome back Salmon hope you had a good weekend and thanks to yourself and all the girls and boys in the Humbugs for the Craic , Banter and the Good Spirit shown. You just hit us in the wrong week. I am sure it will continue.

Now Where is Mr Lee1966?

More posts by Thieves than Humbugs on this page of the thread I think.

Just a reminder that we have NOT earned a week off by letting the Thieves win. We are playing The Racing Demons for 3rd place.

Welcome back skipper
Cheltenham on Wednesday  is  evening hunters

Otis night ?

With Brooks and Coulson

G/L  de44ek4

Wd de44ek4
Very nice winner.

But please put them on here. If Lampus hadn't noticed it I probably wouldn't tbh.

Hello  Cheltenham



This is   Cornwall  calling




will  you  marry  me

Wouldn't Cornwall have to marry Gloucestershire ?
I usually like Hunter Chases and I did alright on a couple but there was one thing won with a BFSP of 305. Must admit I was trying to get on at 80s.

Just a reminder that we DO need a pick this week.
I must admit I had forgotten until last Sun that there was a play-off. Obviously Lampus and myself are aware and de44ek4 has already played and got a nice winner but I hope Lampus doesn't have to pick 6 on Sat.

Good day all
Done Toronado 3.50  Newmarket Saturday

Good  luck  team

Thank you Lampus.
I WAS thinking about Dawn Approach         

Thats why i beat you to it

I think it's yet another tricky Sat.
Wandered off to strange places and done Chancery to win the 5.10 at Thirsk.

Please come in Humbugs.

Wished  i  posted   later
would have done Dandino
and u skipper could have done Dawn Appoach

I probably wouldn't tbh having had another look. Difficult to split the two,but also the ist Gns I took an interest in was won by Only For Life at 66-1 I think.

Push the Button 3.45 Limerick

good luck

Thank you the dealer.
That leaves Lampus just 4 more to find.

I have picked my ex horse. Despite the track not being as good for him as York and Haydock,
he came 4th in this last year for me and he is a better horse now. So hopefully Spirit Quartz can at least get a place.

G/L  twm

G/l twm.
We're short of shearer,yeahyeah and Deep Impact. I'm sure they're all studying hard. A bronze medal is better than nothing.

Heerat 2.35 Nmkt
Gone for the straight win guys
Best of luck

G/L  Shearer

2 to go

Demons have that one shearer, please pick again.

They had it twice in fact. The thing has been picked 3 times.

Gone for Whispering Warrior in the 2.05 @ Newmarket - Good Luck Team

Thank you Deep I.

You have a PM Lampus.

R  Demon just got a 11-2 winner  e.w  thou

yet another winner for  the    10-1  e.w thou

5:50 Donc - Norfolk Sky 10pts win

I know it's not huge, but think a return to turf might not see the blue dog at his best.

Thank you yeah
G/L


Over to you salmon

Win

THATS SUNDAYS RACE

Sorry my mistake

Yes. Going to keep undecided up past his bedtime.
Done Brae On at Hexham. All or nothing.

yeah s   race is  5.5  not 5.50  imo

sorry - got my 0 and 5 muddled up. Yes, it is 5:05

I'll change the other thread.

sorry   should have gone ew after all...

No good e/w tbf. had to go for it.
But worry not I have been drinking steadily for 2 hours and am now convinced Brae On is the sert of the sentury

All  the best  skipper

Has it finished yet ?       

We can now concentrate on winning the league       

apologies for not re selecting guys  but never looked back in as was busy looking after a comp elsewhere -apologies but tbh my second pick wudnt hav made a difference anyway

No probs shearer. Forced me to pick an outsider as a wildcard. Showed I can do it. Pick an outsider not a winning outsider.

1898  Golda R.I.P

I shall translate from the Cornish which is a very concise language.
Lampus is on about Golda Meir who became PM of Israel in 1969,the second ( I think ) democratically elected leader in the world to be a woman. She was born in 1898:obviously she didn't die in that year or she couldn't have become PM in 1969           
I cannot guarantee to interpret everything so successfully as the Cornish spoken by the peasants can be very obscure indeed.
