    It’s never over until it’s over – Captain Robbo may yet show up on the day!

    The reward for apprehending Captain Robbo and bringing him in by noon tomorrow has been DOUBLED to two – yes TWO – hob nobs!

    I do indeed believe it to be a Lounge record Bounty, Marlingford.

    I’m an old timer Sir – my currency is nickers and nothing better than an eighteen year old bucket of jellied eels with a bit of Raz in it. The battle of Southend pier was a corker – I brought kalikashnikovs and all the latest weaponry – had a lolly while I set to work.

    I take your point Sir and your suggesting it’s a dirty ol town and eighteen year ago it was and on that fateful Sunday it was dirtier than the bins outside hell itself.
    Maybe the downgraded pier and all the muck spread about was why Razeen chose to oversleep and never turn himself up for the battle. All he did was let off his dirty mouth after I claimed a hollow victory. Soap and water – good grief and bejesus – what came out of a Bromley South mouth that day was bleedin awful. Seagull’s artic would have done a double flip and the old guy would’ve dived into a privet hedge and spilled his system to the birds.
    I was armed to the teeth and should have done something about that. Like ol Kath I’m a lover not a fighter but some mornings I can be in a right soggy mood so watch yer person at the break of day – specially if there’s a rain on !

    Shergar Cup Day is upon us!

    And cometh the hour, cometh the good Captain!

    All we have to do is BELIEVE.

    Like the slow-release carbohydrate of his alter ego, Potato, I have complete faith that Captain Robbo has been building up to this moment these past two years and, before the stalls open for the first race at Ascot today, the good Captain will explode back onto the TRF scene and save us from this otherwise heinous day of, shudder, “Team Racing.”

    BELIEVE, my fellow Lounge habituees, just BELIEVE!

    I have awoken Sir, my unadulterated old subjugated self. I love the Dunkirk spirit and a prayer vigil cometh the hour cometh the race may be most appropriate, particularly for those in service like myself.

    ‘Advice for getting through it’

    You may want to bring a CD player or iPod to play soft, calming music. Food and drinks: Food and drinks can be helpful if you are feeling hungry or thirsty. You may want to bring some snacks – fish fingers on this sad but hopeful occasion might be appropriate, with a few crisps for good measure and drinks to share with others who are attending the vigil. I doubt 🤔 I will share my drink which will be a cup of tea. There are limits to how far one can bend too – for me it is set at fifty five degrees from upright with the occasional forty to prevent spasm.

    I’ve seen the sign in the sky.
    Something’s not right !
    I haven’t started praying yet
    !

    For those attending uncertain what to wear

    ‘Ladies should dress for a smart occasion and gentlemen are required to wear a jacket with collared shirt and tie ‘
    Addendum :
    On this very special occasion men might carry a spare black tie and ladies a spare toilet dress in sombre style – just in case the great captain doesn’t turn up.

    Anyone dressed as a potato will get immediate free admission

    The word of the prophet!

    Potato (Captain Robbo) messages me to say: “I am unable to get on the forum though I can exclusively reveal that the outsiders REST OF THE WORLD (5/1 LADBROKES) will win. SOVERIGN SPIRIT ew at 22/1 in the 3:55 is the best bet of this historic meeting.”

    I KNEW he wouldn’t let us down!
