When are you and McCririck going to get hitched Barry Dennis. The only way either of you are going to get a shag I reckon!

[roland]

Add that to the highly disparaging remarks about those of us who have overly enlarged lower mandibles make it a highly disciminatory post!!

[davidjohnson]

They do say it’s a woman’s prerogative to change her mind TDK. :cool:

[clivex]

This wont be " thread of the month" ….

I wonder how much CB does have to endure some dismal backward attitudes within the racing world?

[yeats]

I wonder why there’s be no mention of it on BBC racing, there’s usually a bit of banter when someone gets wed, there was with Persad last year.

I thought Grasshopper’s comment hilarious.<br> Are gays above mickey-taking? <br> I wear specs but when I get called "four-eyes" I don’t get into a paddy (hope that phrase isn’t considered un-pc) and demand some minority group defendeing spectacle wearers sensitivities lobbies the police or parliament on my behalf.<br> People get called all sorts of things; four-eyes, big-ears, carrott top, fatty, titch, carpet-muncher – unless REALLY outrageous and insulting we shouldn’t get into a stew over it.

When referring to gay men I always use the term, ‘filthy disgusting faggoty perverts’. <br>Not because i dislike them in any way……

[Lincoln Duncan]

<br>Are you looking forward to the Breeders’ Cup on Saturday, Mortisha? Or are only three of the races acceptable and the other five simply prick territory?

I would have thought someone who swings both ways (I would, but my hinges are too stiff) would not be quite so dogmatic?<br>

Congratulations to Ms Balding (or Mrs Balding .. or whatever she’s called now).

I think she’s a tremendous presenter who’s love and knowledge of racing (and genuine warmth as an interviewer) is a great asset to a sport where far too many of the TV presenters are, frankly, talentless spanners.

<br>McDynamo . . .

And how will you cope when the King George field sweep majestically off the turf and over the all-weather track crossing? Or will you just shut your eyes and mutter "turf racing, turf racing, turf racing" under your breath until all the hooves have traversed the noxious substance?

And what about trainers who use only AW gallops? Scum?

Quote: from Mortisha on 2:04 pm on Nov. 1, 2006[br]Haha – been through that already at the last jumps meeting. <br>******* scandalous it is. Proper racehorses having to run across sand in the middle of a chase just to accomodate the whippet racing track.

Adds a little colour to proceedings, anyway after a few laps the carthorses will get used to it ;)

[Seven Towers]

I don’t think Carpet Muncher is an acceptable form of euphemism in this day and age. I use Anchovy Bay Commando instead… :)

[insomniac]

Do you get piles in the mouth from carpet munching ?

[clivex]

This is making Betfair look like the Booker prize :angry:

[clivex]

No :angry:

like a bloody third form in here :angry:

[Seven Towers]

I think you are doing third formers a grave disservice clivex. Perhaps this thread could be moved to the lounge?
