Pardon? bit deaf here.
I dont mind sound insulation. Considering other sensory deprivations for lent.
the second accordian player was aussie. You can tell by the hat.
Steve-
I've heard that if it pisses down all night Halcon Genelardais is not without a chance.
(Still giving money for sick animals?)
Best of luck with the gee-gees, chaps.
Yabby-dabby do do. My good thing of the last three months.
fantastic race. what a spectacle
denman is one hell of a horse
and kauto star at 10/11 but denman at 2/1...unbelievable
well done spendy
(I chickened out from betting myself, but at those odds I would certainly have risked 50p on denman) but then i didnt...cos I'm frit.
It's not the sport of kings for nothing.
What goes into getting a horse like that there on the day is mind-boggling. It's like being in intensive care with the nurses chasing you round once a day or thereabouts with whips.
It's hard to imagine the nags actually liking it like the commentators try to make out for the sentimentalists. They don't know what's going on you know.

They must like being groomed and pampered. I do. And they probably like running like hell, apart from the whipping. Certainly they dont know the fate that may become them. They dont have bad life, a bit like David Beckham perhaps.
Good morning all - hoping that you'll have such a nice weather as it's here.
Not too nice here, but not too bad either. Rain generally forecast. Going heavy- but I must stop talking about myself.
Do you get as irritated as I do when you're driving and you want a bit of chewing gum and you haven't got much time to get it out of the box and you shake the box and then do it again and again and none comes out, then three or four pieces all come out at once, and you can't deal with four pieces of chewing gum and because you're driving you can't put them back into the box?
Does that happen to you?
It's similar to what happens with old-fashioned tomato ketchup bottles
When you shake the ketchup bottle
None'll come, and then a lot'll
but without the driving element, usually.
I never get irritated Mac.
You should read Proust in C. K. Scott-Moncrieff's translation. It cures all irritable tendencies.
I almost never get irritated.
Not even when I hear people being tendencious..
That's the way the world turns..
OH SCOTLAND - GUTTED LADS!
C'MON ENGLAND RUGBY LADS.
WELL DONE LADS! JUST BRILLIANT
K - FRANCE V WALES NOW!
Hmm: "in islands containing two countries, one principality and one province, there are several million people who find the idea of the British nation baffling or insulting" :wink:

quote from the [Scottish] Sunday Herald.)
Sod that.
I'm a subject.
If we have to have a written constiution in order for me to qualify as a bloody citizen forget it.
Spendius will be "the palladium of English liberty".

I'm conflicted on this.
I feel more of a citizen than a subject. What's wrong with a constitution? Far too much happens on a nod and a wink in this country. And that depends on the old-fashioned "everyone knowing their place". Nowadays, they don't seem to.
Anyhoo-
Where is Smorgs? What's she up to, I wonder? No good, I'll be bound.
:wink:
Is Penny coming to England?
