Another epic (catastrophic) fail….

[IanDavies]

Me making my annual attempt to watch the Pardubice: “Where the feck are they going now? How many more circuits? Who even are these horses? That’s not even grass! What the feck are they doing now?”

I can’t find a link to it. I’d forgot that it was today as I was planning to be out today but now I’m not( have got a weevil infestation in my larder and I’m fighting the blighters instead).

[moehat]

I managed to watch it last year. How the hell did I do that? I’ve got an hour and a half to sort it out….

Don’t say I never buy/give you anything, or take you anywhere, Moehat – that link has got to be the equivalent of an all-expenses paid trip to the Czech Republic!

Btw “weevil infestation in my larder” is right up there with “rabbit kidnapped by aliens” as an excuse – I’m so nicking that!

Thanks! I’d backed Star. Thought he was going to do it! I’d love to go to the race one day…John Pinfold always used to tell us how great it was. Sadly makes me think of Liam going there a few years back. I backed Mr Spex last year. It’s pretty brutal though, isn’t it.

I don’t normally so much as look at my normal online haunts from overseas, never mind login and post, as I enjoy the break from it all but allow me to blow your fail out of the water.

At approximately 10am today I passed through Pardubice railway station, at which point I thought to myself ‘there’s a big horse race held here, I wonder when it is?’. 30 seconds later I had my answer, what a bloody idiot I am.

[IanDavies]

Hilariously brilliant.

Great to see James Best got 4th, hes been there a few times.
Its actually not a bad day out, a few years ago I was working in the local area. Total fun with the locals and language on how to place a bet.
Note to Richard 88, I hire a car, Its easier for where I need to go. Just causes confusion when Im back home as I try to enter from the left.

[IanDavies]

I’d add I hope Richard has a great holiday, but I’m not entirely sure it actually is a vacation as I rather like the idea of Richard being a Harry Palmer-esque character and consequently he might be out there on some secret Ipcress File/Funeral In Berlin-style mission.

Can just see Richard as Harry Palmer

You've got to accentuate the positive.
Eliminate the negative.
Latch on to the affirmative.
Don't mess with mister in between.

[IanDavies]

Richard IS Harry Palmer.

I missed it. I see Patrick Mullins dropped his mount on the floor again, for the 3rd year running. Oh well, he has a bit of Robert the Bruce’s spider about him so good luck to him next year.

[Richard88]

I can of course neither confirm nor deny.

It was a nice few days away thanks Ian. It’s a fascinating part of the world behind the old Iron Curtain.

Thanks Landafar, if I go back it’ll definitely be planned next time, didn’t even think to look when I found racing on the hotel TV on Saturday afternoon

[IanDavies]

Glad to hear you had a good time, Richard.
