A young boy<br> looked in his Xmas stocking<br> only to find a foul smelling object<br> that resembled something his mother might wear<br> beneath her ra ra.
He picked the object up<br> looked starward<br> and thanked Santa<br> for life’s small mysteries.
Then he went round and around<br> he was on setting five<br> and he could see the raindeer
<br> sorry this was meant to be in the cracker section :(
That would be a harsh Christmas in anyones book :(
Best wishes for the New Year gamble!
Likewise Jair get your knees up,<br> but we’ve got roast bird before that

Yes, who could forget Ricky!
Well waking the dead is an enviable talent Tank which may have repercussions for the health of this forum. Bringing up old logs from the past is of credit but sadly many ld scriptures have been lost or burned – buried in inaccessible ground. As for what the old relic has been up to – well I have never been busier and set my alarm early at 6am this morning for the remainder of the race meeting in Pinjarra. Due to large wine consumption last night I snoozed on missing a couple of races. I believe Ricky’s P&O liner docked in Victoria Docks in Perth all those years ago. He wrote from the liner as some may remember bored out if his eggshells. Year 2012/13 I would hazard. Pinjarra is about 50 miles from there.
I am in London in the worst hotspot in the UK but possibly now overtaken by the East Midlands and am one of the millions of unpaid carers that cannot properly self isolate as I need to travel, and was using the tube system ( at sensible times ) until last week. Now they have relaxed parking I drive and am out 3 days a week. I have to prepare for Tampa this evening and Singapore have sensibly stopped racing. I do not think Cheltenham should have taken place. Madi Gras is forty times thicker but look at the consequences. I will make some more tea and will be back. I hope to write today but am to busy after that really. Tank you Tank for your concern and interest – in one old relic
Thank you Nathan but I have never really left – I do not look in quite as often these days but do read the horseracing section and catch up. I spend many hours a day in the betting markets now ( in fact my right index finger is slightly swollen and tender from overuse of my tablet and it is not that comfortable to write ) but the boards were my distraction and addiction for many years. There is regret that I did not take full advantage of the betting side during the tax free years-however it was all very much in the moment and exciting – I do regret my addiction that much and in the markets I do not trade. Trading was inevitable but it spoilt the game.
The lockdown should have started two weeks earlier and looking at the comparative scale – UK acted two days after Italy. I come from a long line of fishes and my body temperature nestles between 34 and 35 so when I suffered a “fever” of 37 and rang 911 a couple of weeks ago – she went off to ask someone. ” No its got to be 38.7 “. I asked if the testing drive in centre was open in Parsons Green. She said we have stopped all public testing as we are expecting the virus to run through the community and people to gain immunity. She left out the word herd and I was polite enough not to make any animal noises.
Every time I go out driving I see two or three ambulances rushing somewhere with lights on and sirens blaring with some poor soul in the back. Timing is important and getting the timing right for people to follow instruction is a science in itself – but the dead cannot sit on their hands.

Its a given that I read the lounge obviously and reading some of the old postings is an immeasurable pleasure. I have just written a lot on archiving ….. and just deleted it ! Data storage in clouds does cost electricity.

Good to hear from you, gamble, and you seem in fine fettle. These forums, or talking houses as I think you called them, hit their peak over a decade or more ago now I’d say. Very entertaining places they were and you and people of your ilk(not too many of those about) put in a lot of work to make them so.
Hoping you will hang out a bit more on here if time permits; always a joy to read your musings.
