Well, we're going to need lots of vets in abbatoirs if/when we leave the EU: we need them to certify that the meat is safe for export into the EU. So, perhaps this little tongue in cheek comment isn't going to be too far from the truth after all.

Quite often the animal is more stressed if it's not killed quickly and cleanly. And this doesn't half affect the taste of the meat. Which is why the (fast depleting) local abbatoirs, particularly behind the butcher's, offer far better meat than the factory slaughter-houses.

Do any of you golfists ever play at the Houghton-Le-Spring course? If so, that may explain why, when I were staying at Warden Law, the number of balls I have collected off the Seaham road being sprayed all over by people who can't shoot straight.

Wife reckons that it will be either 3-0 or 0-3. I've just backed the former at 160s on the exchanges.

I see 1-3, where Newcastle go in at half time leading and then defend it all away in the second half.

Woot! I've been celebratin since Brisbane and as I (sadly no longer with us) have my drinking partner I won't be signing off at Hawaii. So I will stop around midnight and call it a night. Happy New Birthday World, etc..

Yes, but not this year. Next season it will be different and before we know it there'll be a series of North East derbies between Newcastle, Sunderland, Hartlepool and Darlington. Middlesbrough will be the flagship club of the area. In the First Division.

I just saw the first episode on Netflix and my thoughts were 1. The goalie is a knob. Just because you lost a game, you don't take it out on the missus. You're supposed to be professional. 2. Too many big cars 3. So far there's been no indication as to why things are going wrong. Mind...

****, right

Brilliant and perfect blag that. One for the next pub quiz

Yes, it says that I am not a ****ing moron because, quite simply, if one understands having an edge then there's sod all with punting. Scratch cards you don't have an edge, lotteries you may have if there's a mega-rollover which is why syndicates pile in when the risk:reward goes in their...

I don't know about the last two, but tell me: do you have life insurance? Do you have house/contents insurance? Do you have more than the legal requirement for third party insurance for your car? If so to any of the above, you're gambling. I've said before here that all I do is punt...

If you look at it mathematically and only back when you have an edge then you will be alright if (a) you have a wide enough bank and a good staking plan and (b) you don't lose your head when you're in the inevitable bad patch. I've been running a quality racing site for over 20 years, some of...

Wife reckons it will be 0-1, I reckon that it will be a home win.

They came from that cinemamatic device in reality...

I read a short story once, I think it was Asimov or Clarke's. In it they found a cave with loads of Mona Lisa pictures but all varying. Then someone worked out what it was. It was an early movie thing. You know, you put the pictures in a wheel arrangement and then look at them through the...

With you on this one, CC. That's clearly a foul and any foul in the penalty area is a penalty.

Newcastle are 'only' 22s on Betfair. The King George chase starts at five past three, so I will have time to listen to the first two Liverpool goals going in before the tape lifts at Kempton.

Walker Morris. Thanks.

Which London legal firm is this?
