Dear Zome
I just booked our Cheltenham tickets and seem to be having a small fit at the greatness of it all.
How did ‘popping over for Champion Chase day’ turn into this full on lecture-bunking holiday?
Yours<br>Zoz
January 31, 2007 at 21:52 #90734Dear Zoz,<br>Bunking off lectures is a small price to pay for us in such circumstances. Cheltenham should clearly be a National holiday, to avoid such incidents, and student failing occurances. So we only have the government to blame.
Yours sincerly, and drunk.
Zome:cool:

You speak the truth, Miss Zome.
It should be a national holiday.
And frankly, when up against three days at the Festival and a day of us being reunited in our insane friendship, me seeing the second parents and Trine and Spind and all the rest of it, who needs a degree anyway?
Sod it :biggrin:

Today I was watching the music channels on tv and came across one that shows old music video type thingymewhatsits.
Unfortunately, PJ and Duncan were on it at the time.
I nearly died of laughter.
And then felt a bit ill.
Is there any way we can remind the public what Ant and Dec inflicted on us, so as to make them go away, without actually dying of laughter?
Yours

To all forumites who attend Cheltenham, i pledge to perform to you all ‘LETS GET READY TO RUMBLE’ next to the gold cup pre parade of runners, so we can once again realise the terror that was PJ and Duncan.<br>Infact, after this, they might seem not as bad.
YES. AND ZOME FOR QUEEN!

February 1, 2007 at 14:33 #90742Dear Zome.<br> I’m shortly to be moving out of my parents for the fourth time in four years. How do I used the iron? I have a feeling this could be quite important in future. How do I find the everlasting pint?
Best Regards

February 2, 2007 at 19:56 #90743Dear Zome,
my horse is running at Stratford tomorrow, but I can’t be there (boo!!!); I’m worried that he’ll feel rejected and as a result may jump a little bit stickily early on, lose touch under apparently tender handling before staying on very late for a remote 5th place. How can I avoid the above scenario (and with it a surprisingly lenient handicap mark)?
Yours,
Rory.
February 2, 2007 at 20:08 #90744Dear Martin,<br>How to use an iron? I’m afraid you’re asking the wrong woman. <br>Beer… ah yes, something i am particuarly educated in. The everlasting pint is a mystery formed over years by the beer lover. Some say this myth, is purely just that – a myth, but i say, after drinking approximately 27 pints, the 28th will seem exactly like… the ever lasting pint.
<br>Rory,
I shall be at Stratford tomorrow, and as i am the walking four leaf clover and rabbits foot combined, your gem of a horse will run well, and will my encouraging shouting of things such as "GOOOO ONNNNNNN HORSE OF RORRRRY", will make up for the feeling of rejection he make feel whilst looking for you in the paddock.
Good luck!
:cool:
February 2, 2007 at 20:56 #90745I’m guessing the handicap mark is up to the Gods regardless?:)
February 2, 2007 at 21:09 #90746Well……I wouldn’t call them Gods. :o

I’ve been holding onto a letter I was given some time ago. It reads as follows:
<br>"Dear Zome,
I am a successful presenter, commentator and, by my reckoning at least, an all-round good egg. Yet I frequently get the feeling that nobody in the racing industry takes me seriously.
I’ve tried everything – I’ve tried slipping more anecdotes into my repartit; I’ve adopted an increasingly cheery, matey-bloke demeanour; I’ve even invented a few catchphrases regarding photo finishes, leaving close calls for the judge, and seeing what happens. And yet still I seem to be given short shrift in the trade press, Internet forums, and soforth.
What can I do that I’m not already doing? Or what am I doing wrong? I am seriously considering my future within the industry.
I know you will  treat my case with the utmost sensitivity and confidentiality; nonetheless, I have withheld my real name in the interests of privacy.
Your sincerely,
Mr Terek Dhompson"<br>
