Thanks for your explanation Corm.
I don’t know what’s more interesting now….reading the threads on here or looking at the photos of some of those tasty TRF Facebook friends. Is Julie McManus any relation to J.P. I wonder?
Brilliant. Love it. You’ve captured the full essence of Robert B. there, Himself.
Clearly, the forum is returning to its former glory. The National Hunt season must be on the horizon. A time when giants of the written word awake from their slumbers to weave their magic on golden threads.TAPK wrote….have you ever seen the fuss they make when they try to "pass over" a Scottish £10 note
A fuss not unlike the outcries I have made to betting clerks when they have similarily tried to slip one under the radar. Not for me that Mickey Mouse money. There’s just a certain unease about having the unfamiliar in my trouser pocket.
Having said that, I wouldn’t say no to having a few at present.
If anyone else wants rid of their Scottish currency I’m willing to buy them off you for ninety English pence in the pound.In that case, Himself only has Himself to blame should he deny that other facet of Himself.
Sometimes, we find solace in retreating to the darker regions of our imagined Universes.
Step outside yourself and gently saunter through those leafy glades of fond memories and distant longings.
Second chances and second chancers litter the pavements with regret.
Who knows what you might discover if you look inside Himself. Inside out, of course.

Gamble wrote…were indeed mentioned on betfair radio yesterday, and also on channel four recently
The game is up, dear Gamble. Miss Marple here arranged things so that you and you alone received those particular studio feeds. I prised the shell open and did I find an oyster or a pearl of wisdom? No, my cunning plan revealed your true identity. You are……..(bullet hits forehead)
Worry not, your secret is safe with me and I shall not feed you to the lions. But are these the double, double, toil and bubble gum-shoe meanderings of a lone distant runner?
My hero, Alberto Finney, play it again Sam and yet Eddie lingers on in me. Is it a search for the inevitable lies or just a a rock-pool adventure on a Summer’s Sunday mourn.
Ken Hu?
p.s.Are you joking about being mentioned in dispatches?
In relation to I know not? All the same, I deserve my appearance fee.Maybe we’d have more success becoming a double act. I can just see us now, wowing the audience at the ‘end of the pier’ show at Blackpool.
"I say I say I say, what’s got four legs and a little man on top?"
"I don’t know. What has got four legs and a little man on top?"
"A male table top dancer."Thanks for that Jose. To be honest part of me was being serious but I should have read the rules first. Silly me.
Oh well, I’m going to have to come up with a new revolutionary idea for fame and glory.
What about maybe, catching a wild horse, taming it and then putting a little man on it and racing it against another one across a ploughed field? In fact, we could have a little wager on the side as to who’ll win. I can see it becoming quite a popular sport.
CheersHughes is a certainty to make up the deficit. The fact that his father-in-law has far greater resources at his disposal than Fahey you can be sure that they will throw the kitchen sink at this challenge. The wheels will start falling off the Hanagan band wagon shortly. "Three wheels on my wagon, and I’m still rolling along, the Cherokess are after me…..
Thanks Billion and Moehat.

In which case Zenja, I hope you lumped on SIGNS IN THE SAND at even money!
Glenn, will we be treated to any Journey into the Unknown holiday snaps please? The Gamble Fan Club is dying to see what lurks beneath that enigmatic brain?
There are those that believe that Gamble is just a figment of his own imagination and yet others strive for that one unanswered question in life….why are we here? ….and they are convinced that Gamble holds all the aces.
Have a safe trip, the light fantastic.Compare these two events:-
Stewards Enquiry- Epsom, 12 August 2010SUZY WONG, trained by J AKEHURST, was declared to run but on inspection the record of vaccinations in the passport was found not to comply with the requirements of the Rules of Racing. The Stewards fined the trainer £140. Was the passport checked before or after the race?
14:20 Epsom Downs, 12 Aug 2010
1m 114y
Racehorse Sanctuary ‘zigaura’ E.b.f. Maiden Stakes
Result
First: Suzy Wong 33/1dwelt, raced wide, keen held up, headway over 2f out, led over 1f out, ridden clear final furlong. Wins by 5 lengths.
So, a horse runs and wins on the very same day that the stewards fine the trainer responsible for that very same horse guilty of an offence relating to that horse. What were the discrepancies in the passport? Can we be certain that had the rules been properly adhered to that the horse would still have won? More info. please stewards. After all those people who owned or backed the second horse might feel a bit hard done by because Suzy Wong was not disqualified.
Day three and so far, so good. I’m sure the electronic cigarettes you mention work for some people RD and my G.P. gave me the option of those things that look like stubby cigarette holders but I chose not to have them because I want to avoid any physical smoking-like habit such as holding one of those between my fingers and bringing it up to my lips.
The patches are now supplemented with some nicotine via mint-flavoured lozenges so really I’ve got no excuses whatsoever if I think of relapsing. I must admit I do feel better already and I can now taste food and smell the lingering tobacco odour in the house. That’s my latest project….cleaning anything and everything that has been affected by my smoking.Sorry to say, Nathan, but I reckon you’ve made a big mistake there. From what I remember of my childhood, Dick Turpin is the name of the man who goes around robbing people. Surely you’d be better putting your money on a horse because I can’t see a man beating a horse in a fairly run race? But then again, maybe you have some inside info.
Good luck.Thanks Nathan. Strangish sort of ride I thought. Seemed to not get into gear until the other Godolphin (didn’t notice that one, to be honest) runner fell away and then had to steer round and questionable if he really threw the kitchen sink at it but then maybe I’m just being biased. Didn’t back them though…watching the pennies this month.
Cheers
