    Nothing like ignorance... I am right, you are wrong.

    Try taking a visit to Tattersalls Sales in Newmarket. The bidding is done in guineas. A guinea has the arbitrary value of 21 shillings (£1.05) because the vendor only gets 20 shillings and the auctioneer gets the other shilling as commission. Buy a horse for 350,000 guineas and the auctioneer gets £17,500.

    As the guinea coin contained gold, its actual value now would far exceed £1.05, so not so many of them would be needed to buy a horse.

    So, let me get this straight, you think horses are bought and sold in actual guineas or do you agree with me that I am right that they are only bought and sold in the equivalent values of guineas like I have already stated? Idiot.

    Talking of horses, did you know they've revalued the horse power, because the improved diet and training means one horse can produce a lot more power these days.

    It's almost as if they've been closed for a long time, and only allowed limited numbers in now.

    I have to admit I didnt notice much of Gilmour in the last match although he was playing fantastically well for Chelsea before he got injured

    They should make everyone that doesn't cover their home in rainbow light bulbs pay a poove tax and the ones that do lose carbon footprint credit

    are you saying that he was dropped because he played for Ipswich?
    Surely Southgate knew that before today?
