A tatty young guy who used to roll up the havana for me at Epsom ! I’d thank him and say…
” Close, but a cigar “
Oh what I’d pay for a ringside seat to listen to a Gamble Groucho meeting of minds in that coffee shop you frequent of a morning Gamble. I might not follow the half of it, but just to say I was there. It would be my Ali V Foreman or King Kong V Godzilla moment. Ah to dream

As the man in green has remodelled this whole site into a fashionable speakeasy -minus the viscous liquids – I may as well continue the trend.
Back in the day one did a stand alone post, but nowadays the clicks reign the boards and people have actually started to talk to talk to talk to each other. That was anathema back in Daylight’s day. The very rare handbags at dawn moments – the Master and who was the other bare knuckle guy – it’s gorn. I think it might have been Slippy Blue who later won the Oaks on Salsabil.
They used to call me smokin Joe back in the day motherf*cker, in real time, and I’m just about to rather strangely reach for a cigar and get a brew on. I will be sitting among tree tops in my bathers soaking up the bankbrokeciti sun. I have been alone for four days which for a change, is a state of bliss, and I am sitting on a floor full of problem papers doing my accounts – and me and figures don’t get on. I am also in Dreamland thinking that Kate shook her tail feather at me as she powered her way on her bike that short distance to the Palace. I am now sipping in the trees and she is enjoying her coffee with a much younger man a Mr.De Longhi who like me is full of froth.
This afternoon I shall be enjoying another coffee on the seafront and possibly an ice cream – my first this year. I do like the old treat apart from the regulation one biscuit, on a rave filled Saturday night.
When I travel I tend to lose my bearings – discipline wise.
As I have been writing this – the sun’s gone in but I’ll still be sitting on the balcony – no I wont it’s motherf*ckin raining now.Sun … “Hallo”

“Hmmm I wouldn’t Harpo on that or even worry about it too much. I only have an outline plan just now, but I have noticed you’re a very quiet fellow and don’t say much which is ideal, It’s your hair’s that’s the problem .”
Well Big G(roucho)
