    I'm from the same City as Jess but that's where the similarities end. Not quite twice her height but probably twice her weight

    Of course - Yorkshire. The county that finished above Australia in the medals table. Still, there was no gloating about that in the national or local press <laugh> Thank God cricket's not an Olympic sport as Geoff Boycott would never have been able to get his head through any doors again.

    Liked what you said about your granny's funeral by the way - we had the same hymn for my grandad and I can't listen to it without blubbing now.

    I think Yorkshire claimed Usain Bolt, because he once had a drink of Yorkshire Tea.

    Nass after last years experience in the Grandstand I feel over dressed -one ****er was dressed as the only gay in the village from Little Britain.

    My jeans cost more than your ****ty suit anyways ;)

    Not seen Gary in months, been away from the Army for a couple of months ready for my transition to Civvy Street :), did the County Stand last time around and it was awfully stifling in there.

    Fwiw I have had two bets tomorrow

    2.00 Captain Dunne - Relishes fast ground, dropped to a mark that he is capable of winning off and I think he showed enough last time out to suggest he retains the ability. He had a wind op after Epsom, and they have been waiting for faster ground. I think he will be primed for this, and I don't think the pace will be as frantic as it was at Epsom, so this could suit him a good bit more. 18/1 EW

    3.05 Main Sequence - I think he is the best of these and I thought he was very unlucky over in France last time out. I think he is better than his price suggests and I would expect him to win nicely here. 9/4

    Agree with Captain Dunne, and to boot Easterby does very well at York, I think the Captain may well be on the Captain tomorrow heres hoping <ok>
