    When a midweek meeting was shown during the period the Rickman fronted team still ran the ITV racing show in the mid 70’s, they would actually show live betting shows from the ‘off’ meeting,followed by the result when it came through. All written on a stencil overlapping the screen. A bit rough and ready but much preferable to the syrupy ‘social stable’ they have as filler nowadays.

    Adele Mulrennan talking about tying tongues down with tights and using clingfilm with goggles. How kinky did that sound? 😂

    Oh, to be locked in a lift with Hoiles and Gladders – has anyone seen my will to live? I’m sure I still had it when I got in.

    “9/2 Chal-dee-un” said in the petulant manner of Martin Tyler when Liverpool score a goal

    I’m watching on Racing TV, where Tom Stanley and Martin Dixon have finally got Cal-dian right.

    What’s Hoiles saying?

    I think Juddmonte clarified that Cal-dian is correct pronunciation.

    Ed’s always correcting others for their pronunciation but gets plenty wrong himself and why does he keep calling Will Buick, Will Biddick? :yes:

    I think I’ve commented in this thread (I’m not going to trawl my way through the whole thing) about Racing TV’s Lisa O’Neill and her propensity to begin every answer with “Yeah”.

    Well, I’m currently listening to today’s Nick Luck podcast and his guest, the Racing Post’s Jonathan Harding, has started nearly every comment with a “No”.

    Now, if Ms O’Neill and Mr Harding were to have a child together, would the yeahs and noes cancel each other out and the child speak properly? 🤔

    “Yeah, no.”

    Snooker star Ronnie O’Sullivan is a bugger for the “Yeah, no.” reply which he often follows up by picking his nose by thumb and tugging at his earlobes.

    A good card at York featuring strong Group races and competitive handicaps. But ITV think it is only good enough for ITV4.

    ITV’s main channel is showing “Dickinson’s Real Deal” and something called “Tenable” where “a family of five from Burnley attempt to answer a series of Top 10 list questions for their chance to win a big cash prize”.

    Nice to know where racing stands in the pecking order.
