    Brilliant stuff, gamble, gave me a good laugh

    But on a serious note – be careful out there! :cry:

    Every morning Tank, if I wake up, I check for four things; spectacles, respectables, wallet and watch. If they are all still in working order I know that I am safely imprinted in the windmills of Flatcap’s mind – and don’t you worry ’bout a thing O’Mamma – I died years ago 🗽

    Impressive to me is how you have dealt with the vicissitudes thrown at you in your life Tank – it’s almost as if you are made of steel armour plating, and although in past words I may have launched a spanner into the Millwall mob it is indeed a good and a rare sight to see the impregnable Miller stil rarin to go – high up in the stands. Get it on…EEEGULLLS

    In memory of one we lost
    JimJTS..

    ODE JIM

    Like a clock whose hands are weeping
    Past the minutes of its face,
    And the world is like an apple
    Grieving silently in space.

    And your old words we will hold’em
    As we search for an embrace
    Your energy we will treasure
    and keep locked up just in case

    You’re back for a bite of banter
    To return the old rat race
    A red carpet does await you
    And me your old nutcase

    Thank you Tank, and indeed Jim is part of the history in here, as indeed you are – but of course he is more ancient Rome you are more the middle ages.

    Since I adopted a new approach and modified my maths, my racing has exceeded all my expectations. I view races more as an observer with no real necessity to back or lay unless a clear opportunity presents itself. I sit in a tortoise shell and the two faced hare sits in my presence.

    The hare can be useful if one has to think quickly – if runners are scratched or conditions suddenly change. Never in a rushed way though – if time is too short to recalibrate just leave the race. Stay relaxed and in control the whole time. Risk must be measured carefully and I concentrate on method and only that, and will keep an eye on the bank but never let its state influence the method of a particular bet, but risk does stay in tune with it, and hopefully, if you stay calm and in control, it will sing a happy song, in time..

    The hare can be useful, but as stated he is two faced and can take you on a journey towards greed or unacceptable risk, or even lead you down the path to ruin, which is often initiated with chasing losses. As far as putting everything on black that is so far away from what I do. It is important to be generous of spirit. Small well considered steps are the secret to a consistent profit. :good:

    I wish you well.

    flatcapgamble….I see the reality of this vainglorious pursuit of profit to prove that a market that takes takes no prisoners can be beaten. I see a pinched looking joyless woman and a dog that just wants a trip to the fruit market. Yes, the tortoise, the two faced hare are both wedded in this story of competing hot and cold passions, but what about the forgotten creature circling above – the crow. Nobody likes a crow.

    Ah, Red Right Hand. Myself and Mrs Richard finally got around to watching Peaky Blinders a few months back. I highly recommend it if you haven’t seen it. Not on a school night though, one Saturday evening ended at about 6am on Sunday as a result.

    I turn the lights down low
    and watch those horses go
    You gotta do that
    You gotta do that.

    flatcapgamble…He called me his shill today,
    so I said…
    ‘ I got my answer, the only thing I can say,
    I say yeh yeh, That’s what I say,
    I say yeh yeh 😯

    :wacko: Not sure I should have logged in tonight/ morning.

    gamble seems to be the only one making any sense :unsure: :-)

    Drone seems to have a lot to be crowing about, but is he crowing in the right place?
    Same goes for Richard88?

    I know what you’re saying, gamble, but not many people can be so disciplined – myself included

    Will look forward to reading what shite I’ve posted tomorrow.today.. now turning out the Georgie Flame

    I see what you mean, gamble, but not many find it easy to be so disciplined, I certainly don’t and applaud anyone who can be.

    Went a bit overboard on the red last night, celebrating that I could get in the car and driveeee today, and without feeling guilty.Had planned to get back on Dartmoor but wasn’t as nice a day weather wise as I’d expected. Still, had a nice short drive to Teignmouth and the sea breeze has never felt so good – then a hop skip and jump to nearby Dawlish to see how this year’s batch of Black Swan cygnets are doing – 6 of them and thriving B-)

    Good luck with that, Nathan, quite a perilous drive – and don’t forget you’ve got to be back in Taunton before bedtime.

    Looks like gamble has gone on one of his sabbaticals.Hopefully he will return. Has the boss got him on a retainer? He should have ;-)

    :bye:

    Just like your biscuit question of old Nathan, namely ; which my favourite all time biscuit was ? Well, this seemingly simple poser back then sent me unwillingly into a time tunnel in which I found myself trapped and almost impossible to extricate from. So there I was, stuck in the heavens riding this giant lemon puff, and travelling back in time to explore biscuits of old and in particular that multi coloured tin on the old sideboard, next to the old clock, that let out the Westminster chimes every quarter. When I am having so much fun – writing about it can kill the moment and this has to be a very private journey.

    Sandman sent me off on a similar journey when he asked to look at my crystal ball. It sent me into that giant void again where all thought is possible and time literally stands still.

    I have had a very lazy morning and had this little song dancing about in my head the whole time.

    Oh Mr Sandman
    Sing me a song,
    Fill it with joy,
    And I may sing along….

    And this keeps repeating..

    I’m actually having a ball and I can assure you I would like it to go on for five years – but for the moment, am contained and trapped in the tunnel, quite pleasantly alone – there will come a time.

    and this keeps repeating..

    and this keeps repeating..

    flatcapgamble….Oh my good Gawd – get me THE HELL OUT OF HERE !!
