I had Kumbeshwar in my 10 to follow this season. After 2 poor runs over hurdles I took him out again typical of my luck at the moment - if I fell into a bucket of tits I'd come out sucking my thumb
It was very soft when he won the Dovecote so impressively. I wouldn't write him off just yet but he needs plenty of cut to be seen at his best I think.
The thread is indestructible. The truth will out in the end, the world's greatest tipping site will not be torn asunder.
..Interesting point you made yesterday about Wayne Hutchinson Oddy. Watched that 2.50 race at Hereford and can't believe how he got that horse beaten.Absolute shocker.When a horse is jumping markedly left handed the sensible thing is surely to stick to rail to minimise the damage. Feel sorry for anyone who backed that horse.
Looks like his confidence has gone to me Dex, hope he can get a few winners and get back in the groove. Cyc - amen to that (well, apart from my tipping )
I see young William, son of Twister, had another winner today. He'll eclipse older brother Sam one day, mark my words. His last 6 rides have been 332721. Dad must be well proud of em both though, both cracking jockeys in my opinion
please log in to view this image The government today announced that it is changing its emblem to a CONDOM because it more accurately reflects the government's political stance....A condom allows for inflation, halts production, destroys the next generation, protects a bunch of dicks, and gives you a sense of security while you're actually being screwed! Damn, it just doesn't get more accurate than that!
How long can Germany hang on with all the dead weight countries draped around it's neck? No matter how they try to distance themselves from the plague, it seems as though it's going to catch them eventually. As a world economic powerhouse, they will be much better off than most, but the pain is coming my friend. We reckon we live in the lucky country. We pull **** loads of stuff out of the ground, which gave us a safe passage through the last global financial meltdown, but even out here, we can't escape the effects if the Euro collapses.
True enough Cyc - left as it is capitalism will eat itself and the 0.001% of the population with the money will piss off and live on the moon or something
It always the way mate, but things are great compared to how it was a 100 years ago. A man had to stagger to the outside dunny, in freezing weather, to crap. If the frost didn't get ya arse in the Winter, the spiders did in the Summer. What wonderful days they were. Down at Grand Dads for Christmas when I was a kid. The "honeysuckle house" was the name painted above the dunny door. What an exotic place. The pungent aroma of saw dust mixed with piss and ****, all scented by the honeysuckle vine that grew over the toilet. The wooden structure attracted flies and spiders by the droves. It must have been heaven for them. Then there was Christmas dinner on the long table that sat a dozen or more. Above all the fantastic fare, there dangled rolls of fly paper that were choc full of these dead creatures that had the misfortune to be attracted to the sticky paper. Ah...the good old days.
Won't talk about politics or capitalism as such, gave up on all of it a few weeks ago. However, dunnies are interesting. Only remember one outhouse in the UK, but do remember an interesting one in Borneo (sorry, namedropping again) years ago. One weekend we took off up the Baram River (esturary just south of Miri) to visit the Dyaks, who were less than fascinated by our visit I would expect. We stayed one night in a longhouse which was fun. The dunny was situated on on a rope bridge which straddled a small ravine. When you opened the little trap when finished, you could see your efforts spiralling down the gulch. Have I told this story before? Apologies if I have. (Ermmm, would this be the original ***t Creek?).
Nah, don't think I've heard it before. I guess you guys who live in cold climates have had dunnys inside forever. We in Oz only began to get inside toilets 60 years ago, at least where I lived. It was a big deal to be able to **** inside.
