    Royal Ascot Day 1

    Am I the only one sick to death of watching AOB farting around with his mobile immediately the race is over? Guy has no class.

    Things Only Arseholes Say...

    Isn't it just Americanisms - transition to a new role; 'around'; 'piece' e.g. "Let's have a discussion around the transition piece" For sure (c. H Redknapp) Look - start of every sentence by Australian cricketers, now adopted by Strauss and several colleagues Verballised nouns - to...

    The Road to the Grand National 2011

    Nice bit of 18s, courtesy of Joe C; just the one win bet, so pleased with that. As far as the fatalities are concerned, I think doing nothing isn't an option. Emasculating the fences further would take away the uniqueness of the race, but I'd give some thought to having the first brought...

    Books To Recommend ?

    Dusted off a few old Michael Dibdin Aurelio Zen crime thrillers, after watching the TV adaptions, which were quite fun, but didn't really do justice (cf Rebus) Dibdin is (was) a very fine writer, with a knowledge and love of Italy that is hugely impressive. Well paced, great dialogue...
