Try this link, which I think covers the RUK courses:
I´m still abroad (in Peru at the mo) but am I the only one to notice the vastly increased frequency of Trendy´s forum contributions? This in my view can only mean:<br>a) The wad he pocketed some weeks ago for the Findlay 6 has led him into a life of champagne, caviar and the Racing Channel.<br>b) The missus has finally called time on his nomadic lifestyle after reading his Cheltenham exploits on here.<br>c) He´s joined a religious sect who allow him an hour a day to watch reruns on ATR.com and post on here.<br>d) He´s in prison (for thieving each-way bets with Stan James) but has a colour telly, computer and time off for good behaviour to go to two meetings a week.<br>Come on Andy, we must know the truth…..
Carvills – I’ll answer your points individually…
a) I have progressed from lager to champagne but would still choose a tuna sandwich over caviar. Never forget one’s roots.
b) The missus, though not always happy with my nomadic lifestyle (Cheltenham today, Ayr this weekend), has complained less since we’ve taken on part-time model (Zac) to clean the swimming pool/carry out odd jobs in the garden (he never wears a shirt, even in cold weather).
c) Still an atheist though may have adopted trainer Nick Williams as a David Koresh-type leader had Philson Run won the National instead of finishing fourth.
d) Rumours that I’m sharing a cell with Brian Wright are just that, rumours. And talking of Sid James, they let me have £44 on a 9-4 shot yesterday (tailed off).
Mounty was seen at Cheltenham today, nothing weird about that you might think, he was chasing around, not for 6/1 and 11/2 shot as you might imagine, but following his normally astute nose in search of the hog roast. He had a sniff of it but try as he might could not track down the vendor of the hot meat in bread savoury treat and the origin of the aroma he so desperately followed. Imagine his chagrin as he settled for a plate filled with some less than tasty noodles containing some, so far undisclosed, meat by-product only to be on the second vomit inducing mouthfull when he turned a corner and stumbled, almost literally upon the stall he so strived to find. Professional as ever he resisted the tempation to drown his sorrows in a Stella but instead downed a luke warm can of diet coke before heading for the rails hand on wad.

Welcome to the forum.  Fascinated to read your article on Horror Punk, something I feel has plenty to offer racing.
Nice to know that Austria’s finest – the Blood Sucking Zombies From Outer Space – are still going strong, and nice to see that uber-goths can get further details on their snappily-titled website http://www.myspace.com/bloodsuckingzombiesfromouterspace<br>This has absolutely nothing to do with Mounty, of course, who was probably into some decent s**t
before turning into a Guardian-reading pinko REM fan (I reckon).Mike
Mike, I used to be a big Half Man Half Biscuit fan ("God I could murder a Cadbury’s Flake but then I guess you wouldn’t let me into heaven….or maybe you would ‘cos their adverts promote oral sex") but am obviously more into Charlotte Church and James Blunt these days.
Thanks Betlarge, just wait until my latest feature on 1950s rockabilly hicks raised on corn moonshine and industrial strength amphetamine, now racing really could learn from those go faster mofos.
That’s some bizarre fantasy you’ve got there Mounty – into Charlotte Church & James Blunt at the same time??! :o
Oh, and anyone who is anyone knows that THE place to be is Cheltenham tomorrow!!!!! ;)

Have a great trip CH and if you can manage to get access to the internet while you are away why not drop in and let us know how you’re going on.
HOW THE HELL ARE YOU GOING ON ?
This is one of those “going out” threads, isn’t it, gamble?
Going out used to mean getting off the internet, but the web follows you wherever you go nowadays.
