    Just read in the Times, the chancellor has rescheduled the budget as to not coincide with the Cheltenham festival because of the mass decamp to the Cotswolds from the city. You might also be interested to learn that the Irish spent. 19 million euros at the festival last year. Even in these austere times that's a lot of dough.

    For future reference Fenster's Cheltenham Specials and the Betting comp have been added to the index.

    In case anyone is not aware, the simple way to find Mega Threads once they have been unstuck is to use the Search box (top right of the screen) - enter Mega . check the Search titles only box and search.
