    Quote: from wit on 3:56 pm on Aug. 15, 2006[br]<br>41.588 metres ?

    best regards

    wit<br>

    <br>I made it 45.48 yards which converts to 41.5869m<br>I never did find a way to calculate it. I drew it on Autocad which I suppose is similar to using Simpson’s Rule.

    I have a circular field exactly one acre in area. My horse is tethered on the perimeter with a rope just long enough for him to eat one half of the grass.<br>How long is the piece of rope?

    I must admit that I did get caught once. I only rang 4 times before the penny dropped so it only cost £3 but I bet there are people getting caught for hundreds because they do not make it obvious that you are charged every time you ring.

    It was almost layable for me at one time, but I discipline myself to no higher than 4.5. <br>I’m sure there are people who will tell me that’s not the way to do it, but I find that’s the only way I stay in control!

    I agree DJ. They may change the way horses qualify for them but they will still be with us.<br>Do you think they might have gone metric in 100 years?

    I’m certainly glad that the suggested merger didn’t happen. I did have a look at TH because it was new to me, but found very liittle of interest.

    I didn’t see the incident but it sounds to me like; "Damned if you do, & damned if you don’t"<br>After all, who pays his wages?

    I got so fed up with racing I tried a football bet. 6 matches, 15 doubles, 20 trebles. Got 3 results out of 5 on Saturday & needed Southampton to win yesterday for a reasonable profit. Derby equalised in the 90th minute!

    He does not take himself seriously so why should we? He is there to entertain the 50p lucky 15 punters, of which there are thousands, so just watch the races you want to watch and ignore him if he upsets you.

    Presumably they could not not find enough Albanian speaking supervisors to get it finished in time?

    It’s been that sort of week for me too! Keep faith and play through.

    I see that, but in those days when betting was all on credit, I think WH probably did well to get the monkey on E/W. After all his various runners would want some. <br>Sorry to digress over technicalities, but to get back to your original post, bloody good luck to them; if I had a 2yo like that I’d do the same. The public aren’t being ripped off, only the layers.
