    Most of my bets are in the lower class races, so I did miss it slightly.

    As I have now been referred for palliative care, I’m not sure that I care any more, but I would like to see someone wipe the smile off Farage’s face.

    They haven’t given up with my treatment but the chemo that they were using only works for a limited time, depending on age, fitness etc.
    They are hoping to enrol me on another clinical trial with drugs that have a 30 to 50% success rate.

    To be honest never really understood the purpose of them.

    I have nothing to do with either of them. Their remit of team rivalry must mean tactics come into play which is contrary to the rules of racing.
    It’s bad enough trying to avoid non triers at any other time!

    Health problems have stopped me from getting to any race courses for a couple of years now but may try to get to Newmarket soon.

    Perfect example of why I no longer bet in top class races and I’m still chuckling away today!

    I rarely bet in the big races now because of pace setters and tactics on the flat and multiple entries over the jumps.
    I’m much happier with class 5 & 6 handicaps!

    Oh silly me thinking Labour calling for a second referendum was really their way of accepting the result?
    Didn’t they then fight two elections calling for a second vote?

    I have spent plenty of time in hospital this last four years but I don’t think my mind has suffered.
    Some MP’s may have done as you say but it was not party policy.

    Well population growth won’t be a problem once they make shirt lifting compulsory!

    I’m not sure how many assets are left to be stripped now, most of the family jewels have gone. NHS, I suppose, is a major one and maybe even the armed forces?

    I very much doubt that he is an alcoholic, just likes to party too hard.

    I see no reason for the BHA to ban him from racing.
    His personal problems are a matter for his friends and family to take action.
