    It just makes me angry it really does.
    He is the most genuine man you could ever meet, he has helped me out a lot and always gives you his time. It is a real shame. Maybe he needs this break though but it’s just not fair this Chris Kinane situation, you could hardly call it Ian’s fault

    Saoirse Abu is a dual Group 1 winner and with rain forecast between now and weekend, she might get her surface. I’ll be backing her; the form’s in the book.

    Me too, prefer her to Proviso, listen or Kotsi, although I was wondering if I should back Kotsi Instead but nah, Saoirse Abu is the one ;) She will have the ground in her favour too as well as the form

    Thanks!!!! Will need to get it because the fear is just beyond a joke now! Don’t think it’s anything to do with childhood just the fact they are creepy with more legs than what’s natural and creep up on you when you least expect it
    I know it’s gone too far because on my desk there is a folder, and in that folder is paper and i scribbled on the paper to make the pen work and it was sort of hanging out the folder, and there is a lamp on my desk and as i went to turn it off i screamed because i thought the scribbles on the paper was a spider :oops: I need that book :lol:
    Thanks again!

    My friends consider me abnormal because I love spiders, and I love snakes, and all creepy-crawlies :)

    Whenever there’s a spider in the house, if it needs removing because of some phobic wimp, I pick it up and put it in my room…it’s a bit cruel to put house spiders outside.

    I’m not sure how to get rid of them. The conker theory is pretty interesting…haven’t heard of it before but why not give it a try?

    There’s something quite comforting about having a spider on the wall of my room. They’re very harmless and it’s always good to have company. :P

    Can I hire you please :lol: Wish I was like that, they seem to pop in my bed for a snuggle, shouldn’t have the bed by the window should I lol

    Thanks Kt something that I will try anyway anything to stop them coming near me.
    AND THAT PICTURE OF THAT SPIDER MADE ME JUMP OUT MY CHAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    daddy long legs aren’t scary just so annoying lol, beetles are nice i like them :oops: butterflys more so too, and moths
    Spiders, Bees, Wasps, cockroaches…anything like that and i’m off, sends me into a panic lol never been stung i run away too fast for them, as soon as I see one it’s flight time…the switch is off
    That’s quite an interesting point the welsh wizard made, how the animals we are most scared of have small or no legs, although with spiders the darker in colour they are the more scared i am of them, but the legs also play a huge part in that.

    Best Mate the best i’ve seen anyway in recent times
    Desert Orchid even better [in my opinion]
    but Arkle and the way stylishly crossed his front legs while jumping! What a horse, wasn’t born to see him in the flesh but I’ve read the book and saw the videos to know he is some horse!
    Thinking about it now though, Desert Orchid certianly had the boldest of jumps, I would say Arkle and Desert Orchid

    If I could go back in time, would love to have seen Seabiscuit and War Admiral!
    Would also like to have seen Mill reef
    Over the jumps though would love to have seen Arkle, Golden Miller, Red Rum and Desert Orchid progressing into a champion.
    Hopefully when i’m all old I can say to people well I saw Kauto Star! :wink:

    Barbaro and Valiramix also Jair Du Cochet as mensioned before, don’t think the horse ever got the credit he deserved
    Teofilo another mensioned, was such a shame
    Manduro yes, but he, like Teofilo are still lucky enough to be here and did get more of a chance to prove themselves, but Manduro certainly a better horse than Teofilo, at least we still have them for stud, will be interesting to see what happens with that

    Are we not being a little harsh? After all it is live tv, mistakes will be made, can see where you are coming from though, it is frustrating when they get it wrong, but that’s the comedy of it surely?

    haha I wish I could get that close!
    I woke up yesterday morning with this tickly feeling on my arm, i went to rub my arm and there was a MASSIVE spider on it, I just jumped up, kicked the duvet on the floor and got the hell out of there and made someone check the whole room for it…..it wasn’t there
    So….today going about my business, visited the loo, went to wash my hands and what jumped up, a MASSIVE spider must have been the same one! So got someone to come and get it, and it was GONE
    SO IT’S STILL SOMEWHERE AND MOST LIKELY TO FIND ME TOMORROW
    :cry:

    Racing people are great aren’t they? :D Well you know 98% of them :shock: . Everywhere I’ve been around the globe I’ve always met friendly genuine racing people – salt of the earth! 8)

    Agree with you, sometimes I get on better with racing people i’ve known for a couple of weeks or months better than I get on with my friends outside racing, something to talk about i suppose. I will never forget going to the races with a friend who has nothing to do with racing, she saw a grey horse in the paddock and went awwww is he old? Couldn’t believe it!
