Up here in the northernmost reaches of the UK, we are about a month behind our soft southern cousins in gardening terms, so I'm delighted that I'm finally able to bring the bedding plants and my dahlias out for the summer today. Some of tulips that took a while to come through are finally...

Could someone hazard a guess at what this guy is on about?? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-68778519

It is the 20th anniversary of my joining this august forum. I remember being much more black and white in my views at that time (I've since come to the conclusion that any horse could win). I distinctly recall averring to lord H that if Albuhera won the Supreme that year, then I would eat my...

Confession. I'm a fan. My personal favourite is Judy Garland singing Have yourself a merry little Christmas. It came out in 1944 and the lyrics, I think, reflect the mood of that time of uncertainty about the permanence of life beautifully. I'd be interested to hear of any other favourites...

This one will divide opinion but I want to be absolutely clear that I am making no judgement as to the guilt or innocence of him here. I applaud rumble for not "cancelling" Russell Brands ability to make money. It is my opinion that a person should be viewed as innocent until proven guilty in a...

A place for all abuse of and fawning over Mr L Dettori during his final year in the saddle. Sporting Life is reporting that Kinross is to go for the July Cup - the only British Group 1 that Frankie has yet to win. Assuming Kinross gets there I think this gives him a reasonable chance of...

I don't have a particularly strong opinion on the new gender laws in Scotland, but I am absolutely ******* outraged that a government in England that we didn't vote for has decided that it has the power to stop them. The sooner we get independence from this shower the better imo.

Does anyone have any experience or knowledge of equity release? The mother is thinking of doing it to get some funding for house projects and has asked for my advice.

So should Dominic Cummings step down or not? I'm of the opinion that he has done something the rest of us would get pulled up for, regardless of his personal reasoning. A good comparison would be Scotland's chief medical officer who broke the lockdown and had to resign as a result. So I think...

I am giving away form books as follows. All I would ask is price of postage. Any takers? Flat 1997 Flat 1998 Jumps 97/98 Jumps 98/99

On holiday in Majorca at the moment and the guy a few apartments over spends all day every day with the racing on his tablet. Should I a) tell the **** to shut the **** up and lob his tablet in the pool or b) lob the **** in the pool and steal his tablet or c) just stab him and be done with...

Spain have sacked their manager. Seems a bit reckless this late in the day.

Pick one team only. Brazil for me.

Surely this vile scumbag should resign? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-42598314

Surely the Catalans and the Kurds deserve a recognised vote now. Self determination for all people.

A few jumping out for today in France. In the Prix du Gros-Chene (or as I like to erroneously call it - the Big Dog. It's actually a cheesemaking surrender monkey area/town) I like Rangali and Robot Boy. Muthmir is too short in the betting based on actual achievement, but could, of course, be...

Reading a book at present in which certain names crop up regularly and I just want to check how they are pronounced. There are no prizes for guessing what the book is about. ;) :ninja: MacStiofan O'Connail Daithi Ruaridh O'Bradaigh
