I'm neither a voter nor a citizen of the UK, so this is an outside view on something which may be none of my business. But I've been jolted on several occasions today by the many clearly rehearsed and performatively executed curtsies to Queen Camilla (totally decent egg, btw) at Ascot. I know...

Dream.

I bet in low stakes and infrequently which means that triumph and disaster aren't too much different to me or my mood and financial stability. I deal with non-triers on the basis that next time something will be strangled that will benefit me. Fools paradise I know, but it gets me through the night.

'Loves Got a Hold on Me' - Dollar.

Making Your Mind Up - Bucks Fizz.

On Danny's points. I think there are a several drivers involved in the points he makes. Firstly, we are dying off. (Alan, Brian H, Merlin and Danny's examples among others), or getting older and as with any older cohort, grumpy, intolerant, impatient and inflexible. Additionally, when I first...

Just finished series 3 of Mr Mercedes. Season 1, bearable, Season 2. just about tolerable, Season 3. Absolute shite. Bean Ui Capall likes these long form dramas and I watched at her behest, uncomplaining and supportive. Truly I am a good person. If I lived alone viewing would have been...

A question, Danny, made with love, respect and curiosity and with no malice aforethought. In the sentence above you apostrophise 'group' in once instance and not in another. Is this significant?

Did you dig him?

Beautifully put.

I recommend that we initiate a third 'topic' strand to accommodate threads such as this - ie - start as racing topics and end up as general chat - and vis-a-vis, of course. We could call it 'Chat Gee Gee Gee.'

That escalated quickly!

Sadly the use of racial epithets has been enabled by recent 'leadership' titans, both directly, and more often, by dog whistling. NF. DT. BJ et seq.

I wouldn't self-flagellate too sternly, (Maurice, et al) over terms used in the distant past. Societal norms develop over time and the wise and just change with them. It wasn't too long ago that 'Love Thy Neighbour' and 'Till Death do us Part' were prime time viewing and normalised the abhorrent...

A variable world, Luke. Hated it.

Been there. Neil Lennon's last game played for Celtic. 2-0. Been there, knowingly. Several. Finest - SA Vs Windies, 2004 Eden Park. Both: Bullfighting was a magazine commission in my defence, below https://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/othersport/arid-41038037.html Been there, but in my...

I understand that many are partial to a nice hendo job - not just you.

Wind your neck in, Tanlic. I have had the honour of meeting DO and many from his extended family and friends through the years. I have rarely been in the company of such level headed, rational and pragmatic people - the kind that would give 'jew-hating Muslims' or indeed 'Protestant hating...

Thanks Art.

I think we should all focus more in living in the moment, or as a friend once advised, 'be where your feet are.' An uncomfortable amount of contributions (btw, forum is fantastic at present) are judging the weekend merely as a precursor for Cheltenham in March. Why don't we just embrace the...
