.. mate of mine had horses in a syndicate trained by Peter Harris at Pendley Manor, Tring - his son-in-law was Walter Swinburn who took over the stable when Harris retired (don't know who trains there now).... anyway ... you can read all the form books in the world and work out handicap ratings until you have it down to inches .... and still win nowt ... my mate would be given 'news' when one from the stable was 'expected' and it often had nothing to do with form and handicapping etc ... Same on the jumps - another guy I worked with had a brother that 'rode-out' for Alan King at Barbary Castle Nr Swindon ... early 2000s he had a tip come through for a horse called Handy Money which he shared with a few of us ... hadn't run for a couple of years due to injury problems but had been 'out running pigeons' on the gallops ... I nipped in to William Hills at lunchtime and it was 11/2 .... don't usually bet much more than £20 but thought "what the hell" never been "in the know" before ...so went to the cashpoint and invested £200 on it .... it cruised round and the only danger was it falling at one of the hurdles ... way less risky than fences mind.... but it sure is a mugs game ... the favourite in that race was quite short priced and beaten out of sight
I was referring to the essay that you wrote immediately above my last comment. The fact that you didn’t understand the import of my comment merely emphasises why it is that you really ought to avoid any attempt at comedy.
Top be fair mate, there's a world of difference between a £20 bottle of Mount Gay and a £50 bottle of Diplomatico. That said, for £20 Mount Gay is a very good rum.
Yeah but I generally drink to get pissed - I'd rather save £30 and buy weed or something else useful. It's impossible for me to be an alcohol snob, tried filling up a drinks cabinet before but it never lasts the weekend. I buy what I need when I need it, otherwise I'd be pissed everyday.
Quantity rather than quality eh ? If there's beer in the house, I'll drink it all. But with Spirits, I can just have one. I don't need to drink it to get pissed. But ... if I've had some beers and there's spirits in the house and the beers run out, then that a very dangerous moment which can end up with me snorting lines of coke and dropping mdma bombs until 1pm the next day
See I don't do class A's.... unless I'm out and some **** offers it to me Put me in a pub and lock the door and the barman would be fuming in the morning. Same with my Mrs and our failed attempts of an alcohol cabinet. My alcohol cabinet is actually now a shrine for dead people. I think it works well.
And who the fcuk is going to open the cafe next morning? Those breakfasts won’t cook themselves, Pix!
The post you were apparently referring to is about horse racing, Quents ... you are easily confused flower
At least it made grammatical sense. You typed one paragraph and it read like it was written by a pissed up Gibbon.
Same. I meant that drinking all the beers and having a bottle of spirit, would probably mean I'd see if a mate was up for a lash up, which would likely lead to Class A's being consumed.
When you own your own business, you get some other lackey to do the menial tasks. I need 50 sausages, 30 eggs, a box of mushrooms and 8 packs of smoked bacon prepared by 8am tomorrow morning please mate
