Human???…. that’s a great song… good version by the Rag N Bone Man…. Sound of Silence by Disturbed is phenominal…. perhaps House of the Rising Sun by Five Finger Death Punch…. all better than the originals.
And the losers to which you refer…. we need them Blossom, it was becoming a complete farce, we need a lot more too, then we should regain some normality. I started recording these on the 23rd of January (13 days) and we’ve reached the dizzying heights of + 58pts….. can’t last, heartbreak around the next corner….

February 4, 2020 at 18:45 #1481984Ooohh!!!….that was rather courageous of you Matron, most of the guys in here are dead or asleep, if you play that with the volume up, they’ll all start sleep walking and bobbing their heads…. what a sight that’s gonna be, a hall full of zombies all shaking their heads to the mellow strains of Death Punch and poor old Cuddly in the lead accompanied by his boom box and headphones…. Jeeez!!!… I’d pay good money for a picture like that….
Go on Matron…. Pump up the Volume……

February 4, 2020 at 18:47 #1481985I like the Rag & Bone Man.
I also like Eric Burden AKA The Animals.
I don’t like this Five Finger Death Punch very much at all.
The new kid on the block, this Ezra bloke is quite good but he has not sung the Rising sun as far as I know.

February 4, 2020 at 23:33 #1481997Ok… I can understand that old fogey…. but play “Sound of Silence” by Disturbed and tell me that’s not the best version that you’ve ever heard…. every time that I play it, I’m mooned…. even orgasmic…. nothing comes even close…. go on, I dare you….

Once again Playtime has come around again and with the improved weather, I am feeling quite jolly, so, on with the game…. we have a really scary “outsider” today, but it’s a selection and we cannot dodge the occasional bullet…Ukky Bets….

February 5, 2020 at 12:58 #1482051Thursday in Australia: –
Thank goodness to wake up and find 3 winners this morning which has helped claw back some early month deficit.
Always a bad start to the month is hard but it sometimes gives a required kick up the backside and therefore has made me check to see if I am doing the right things which takes a bit longer but if 3 winners plus 2nd from 4 is an indication of what is to come, bring it on!
MOAMA ROSE – Race 1 Albany @ 5/4 . . . . . 2nd
++COLLIVER – R2 Kilmore @ 17/10 . . . . . . WON
+RAINBOW THIEF – R6 Pakenham @ 5/4 . . . . 2nd
RED CHASE – R4 Doomben 6/4 . . . . . . . . . ABD.++COLLIVER looks to be the big bet of the day
+RAINBOW THIEF is my HYPE horseBilly's Outback Shack
February 5, 2020 at 21:45 #1482095Hello Billy my little cabbage, out of all the vegetables on here, your my favourite…. I wish I could wrap you up and put you in my pocket like a good little sprout. I just had a vision from my earlier post and it made me smile, I needed cheering up a bit, so thank you for that…. what vision???… what earlier post???….
It was the one where I referred to your leading the zombies on a “rave”… flashing strobe lighting and you lot clogging along doing your slow walk to the refrain of “Number of the Beast” by Iron Maiden… your headphones on and the boombox on your shoulder (it looks really hip when you wear shades with the trilby). One step forward and one step back, really intent and head nodding, then there’s that clever move that you’ve perfected where you dance a little sidestep and disappear leaving Matron and Nathan leading the jet set that is TRF…. sad, not a pretty sight… I get the feeling that you set ’em up cabbage, Matron and Nathan look like real plonkers now….. hahaha… they’re trying to keep pace with “Run to the Hills”…. that’s never going to happen, Matron will keel over with a heart attack and Nathan will find it impossible to keep it up tonight because all those little blue pills have fallen out of his pocket and the rest of TRF are on the floor scrabbling after them….
My apologies young sprout, you are right, this is sooo funny… it looks like Clowns Inc…..MrE
February 5, 2020 at 22:19 #1482102You lose me sometimes MrE with these heavy metal references when you know full well I have never grown away Matt Monro, Frank & Dean plus my country side liking for the evergreen Willie Nelson etc.
I trusted an experiment today and found a shortie winner with LION TOWER at 5/4 and have run the same filters turning up UNION.15, 5.30 Newcastle (SP) and a close run second choice with CALIDUS MIRABILIS,14, (3/1)Took the price plus a boost and it WON at 5/4 1.40 Chelmsford and would appreciate your opinion. Both with high R&S overall scores. UNION picked via Timeform + ATR Verdict plus S/L Verdict. CALIDUS had 2 endorsements rather than 3 but I confess to being seduced by the trainer, young O’Brien.

February 5, 2020 at 22:54 #1482108Well, you take me by surprise my little Onion…. Heavy Metal… is that’s what it’s called???… I’m afraid that my daughter and grand daughter have brainwashed me into enjoying this crap and your promotion of Willie Nelson in the same breath leaves me gobsmacked. Where are the mentions of the true greats of country… Marty Robbins is my stand out favourite, but you just have to give a bit of praise to Billie Joe Spears, Tammy Wynette, Crystal Gayle… and the guys with the likes of Johnny Cash, Glenn Campbell, Charley Pride…. it’s an injustice to mention “country” without them, there just is NO “country” without them…
Horses???… I got well and truly stuffed today, but it was expected my old mate, we just knew that there had to be a “leveling” out, it was just too lopsided…. we just have to wait and see in what form the equaling out actually takes…
I’m hoping that it’s just a gradual erosion of profits rather than a full onslaught, I wouldn’t be filled with the greatest of confidence if we had 20 losers on the bounce, but if the losses are staggered, I think that we might be in with a shout… lets just see what prevails…. it’s as new to me as it is to you.
Look after yourself my little plum duff…. your the man…..MrE
February 6, 2020 at 07:43 #1482129The COUNTRY list goes on & on MrE, in fact much longer than those you mention and so I included those 3 small letters, etc. George Jones being one of the many in the etc. bracket but sadly it is all considered rather square these days.

February 6, 2020 at 23:20 #1482208A very good evening to you my little pickled gherkin….. another 5 losers today leads me to think about closing the door on this idea. OK, I know that we are well in profit and I don’t mind the losses up to 25% of my bank (25pts)… but I bloody hate it when you get 12 losers on the bounce… not a single win to soften the blow. If there had just been one solitary win to show that we are on the right track, I would have continued, but as it is, 12 losers on the trot is too many and any confidence is now shot to pieces…. I now have no confidence whatsoever in this selection process….. so we are done, dead as a parrot, deceased….
Best of luck with yours Gherkin….. but me???…. once again, just like Superman….. Whooooooosh!!!!!………………………………………………………………………..Gone.
