Spencer should be a bit more even handed – win or lose. When he was trotting up in the Irish Oaks on Sariska he seemed to be gloating and disrespectful to the other horses, jockeys and their connections by his hand and head gestures as he neared the winning post.
Also, I believe jockeys receive a small fee (£50) from C4 for their post race interviews. Even Ryan Moore!"The sports pages are filled with blather instead of information"
I can’t help but agree. Three pages on the 2012 olympic hopefuls and half a page of race cards. They’ve had their last 90 pence out of me.
"I believe Ron Cox has retired, unhurt, carrying his bat as it were." Thanks for that Prufrock.
I hope Ron has a really long and peacefull retirement and I for one will miss him. His succesors couldn’t tip a bucket between them.

I don’t know Matron, I still get this vision of vultures hovering looking for a free lunch.
Maybe someone should commission a program entitled "Repossession, Repossession, Repossession.Try this!

I was going out with an Eastern European last year, couldn’t have met a more unbalanced, two faced minger if I tryed.
I now know she wasn’t looking behind the bed for her dirty knickers.
Marble: It was supposed to be a joke, a joke! I suppose I should take umbrage at your remarks as my nom de plume should give a hint of my origins. Then again, there is no point in knocking if there’s no one in.

Over the last month I became a victim of a clever ‘Easter European’ scam while out shopping. Simply dropping into Sainsburys for a bit of shopping has turned out to be quite traumatic. Don’t be naive enough to think it couldn’t happen to you or your friends.
Here’s how the scam works: Two seriously good-looking 20-21 year-old girls come over to your car as you are packing your shopping into the boot. They both start cleaning your windscreen. Their breasts almost falling out of their skimpy T-shirts. It’s impossible not to look especially with all the rain we have been having.
When you thank them and offer them a tip, they’ll say "No" and instead ask you for a lift to another store, in my case Lidl in Grimsby. You agree and they get in the back-seat. On the way, they start undressing. Then, when you pull over to remonstrate, one of them climbs over into the front seat and starts crawling all over you, while the other one steals your wallet!
I had my wallet stolen August 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th, & 24th 29th. Also September 1st, 4th, twice on the 8th, 16th, 23rd, 26th, 30th, three times last Saturday and very likely again this coming weekend.
So Be Warned!
ps Lidl are selling wallets at £2.99 eachThis thread is becoming very dark and depressing. Being of the age where just waking up in the morning comes as a pleasant surprise, especially after the self inflicted chemical and physical abuse that has been administered to this "temple" over the years. Let’s step up the pace a bit, I’m sure there are blessings out there to be counted.

Ricky Lake: Thanks for the welcome. "Past the edge of reezan" if you’ve got the stamina is on page 1 of the Lounge around 7th. September. Good luck!
The thing about graveyards is the number of indispensable souls residing therein. I suppose when we shuffle off this mortal coil perhaps a fond memory is all we can and should hope for. Personally I don’t give a rat’s arse
