My Claire Balding guess was a pure piss take ..................... but how the **** do you get the Irish theme? Is it the type of brick in the background?
You'd been getting them too easily so I thought I'd throw you a curve ball. It's the two year old Reebok
I'm NOT fecking ginger - and it's a black & white photo - what are you viewing it through??? Unless you are using "ginger" as cockney rhyming slang, in which case - no I'm fecking not, and have four kids and 3 ex wives to prove it
How could you identify me at the age of 17 Reebs. You probably weren't born. When I started work all new members had their photos taken and those photos remained on file. Quite amusing looking at the photo gallery of old acquaintances.
If only the hair on the top of my head grew as fast as that on the back and sides I'd be happy. My brother is 12 years older than me and he still has a mop of hair.
Here's one to which I have no answer ....... I had it tagged as Sweet Kiss - the horse in the dead bizarre post yesterday, but I don't think it is and don't remember where I got it from! What do you think?
"Lifted quote." Dead Man Riding Frank Hayes, stableman and trainer by trade, and maiden racer Sweet Kiss hold a bizarre distinction in racing history. The pair competed in only one race, and though they won, it was what happened afterwards that puts them in the record books 7-year-old Sweet Kiss was not well thought-of by her owners. Frank Hayes, who had cared for her, was convinced that she could win a race. On June 4, 1923, he was given his wish, when he and Sweet Kiss lined up for a 2-mile, 12-jump race at Belmont Park. Rated at 20-1 odds, they were not expected to do anything special Surprisingly, the hard-working filly and her makeshift jockey won by a head. When the overjoyed owner and trainer approached to lead her to the winner’s circle, they made a shocking discovery: Frank Hayes was dead in the saddle A heart attack had killed Hayes sometime during the later part of the race. It was noticed that Sweet Kiss had swerved slightly while approaching the final jump, and many surmised that her swerve had been caused by Hayes slumping forward in the saddle. Since he had stayed on her back the entire race, Sweet Kiss was declared the winner, making Hayes the first (and so far, only) jockey to have won a race after death. He is also the only known jockey to have an undefeated record. Hayes was buried in his racing silks three days later Sweet Kiss, meanwhile, was never raced again. Though she was a proven winner, no other jockey would dare to ride her. She was thereafter nicknamed “Sweet Kiss of Death
