    They’ll be fine, say nothing, it’s been arranged they will be around sometime soon to look after you.

    You might want to open the window and let a bit of fresh air in though. :mrgreen:

    Oh crikey; glad to hear you’re ok VtC. I thought they zapped kidney stones with lasers these days [or is that gallstones?]. Does it mean you live in a hard water area? Are you [and you Nat] going to Cheltenham on the Tuesday? I’m having second thoughts about not going. It seemed like a good idea at the time but I’ve got till Saturday to change my mind; I might find that Cheltenham Tuesday arrives and Mike will have to put up with me blubbing in front of the tv screen cause we’re not there :shock:

    You have my sympathies Bobby. I remember 4 days after my transplant I hadn’t been, I felt like I needed to go but nothing would happen. On the fifth morning I decided just to stay in the toilet and I was in there for an hour, I couldn’t push too hard as I didn’t want to do any damage to the new kidney. When it finally arrived(got stuck halfway) it was like I had just given birth it was the size of a baby and the joy of getting it out would be comparable to like scoring the winner at Wembley in the FA Cup final.

    Moe I hope to be going on the Tuesday but haven’t got a ticket yet, I’ll know for sure early new year, it’s too much for father and deaf Jon wont go again as he doesn’t like the big crowds so I’ll be going solo.

    Saturday is last day for getting cheap

    tickets. We’re finding the journey more and more tiring these days

    . Did think about staying over but then it would be daft not to go racing on the Wednesday as well. Train tickets for those days are horrendous and I’m fed up of being elbowed out of seats by people a lot bigger than me :cry: Racing folk are lovely at racecourses but turn into monsters when it comes to fighting over train seats. Also with all the work that’s being done we probably won’t be able to move around in our usual way ie paddock/pre parade/tote/loo….

    Thanks very much moe, they were borderline to be zapped moe, but in the end, I managed to pass them, but I think I dodged a bullet with being a bit spaced out.

    Don’t know about the water in my area, but pretty sure it’ll be diet related.

    I’m definitely giving it a miss moe, I’ll find my couch too tempting, I enjoy the home comforts, but if I do ever go, it will definitely be the Tuesday.

    That’s been me a few times Nathan :mrgreen:

    Not quite the ordeal you had Nathan, that was proper scary stuff, but that pain will live with me for a long time :shock:

    They both ran crackers considering the weight they were conceding to the Young Whippersnapper.

    Mike said there’s lots of rain forecast for that area. I did read once that Chepstow is a good course for ungenuine horses, although I can’t say that applies to recent winners.

    Terrific stuff Venture, not many would stick a 25/1 shot into the mix. Will you be sober in time for Cheltenham after that one :D

    Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.
