Off Topic Cheltenham 2018

Not a good week but that's the joys of betting,and being a charlton supporter

 

Strange the Irish did so well but not in the big 3.... I did OK and going to Lingfield next weekend for my mates 60th birthday do..... he's got a box with entry and food paid for by him

 

It’s a good day out at Lingers - I go there half a dozen times a year. There won’t be 300 folk there next Sat.

 

It's a shame his birthday isn't the week after... good meet that one...... Like the greyhounds at Crayford next Saturday is a bookies meeting for the shops/online!

 

Last time I went to Crayford on a Saturday morning it was a quid to get in for 14 races. And the chicken in a basket went down a treat.

My eldest son had 3 winners and a 25/1 second on our last Lingers trip -me ....nothing

 

nothing new there then

 

I couldn’t back a winner in a one horse race at the moment...although I do fancy Charlton today ..

 

I always used to let the kids pick a winner at Catford Dogs. We always came out on top that way.

 

Poor old Catford dog track - now soulless flats

 

You mean luxury apartments?

 

Not if they are in Catford.

 

Same with The Ravensbourne in Ladywell, which used to host the best open-mike in London, now being demolished to build what will undoubtedly be advertised as "Luxury Apartments".
