I would have preferred the word mistaken. Possibly mistaken. Not sure why you feel the need for such pejorative terms. I don't know.

No I am not uncomfortable. Just amazed that you're so precious.

I have never suggested your mother was a liar or bullshitter. If you think I suggest that maybe I should stop. Especially as your list just now suggests your not familiar with the circumstances in which cold reading can work.

Cold reading subjects typically say they didn't give much away. Maybe your mother was different

I did read it. Your mother acknowledged facts as time went on. My central point is that without you telling us exactly what was said, in particular the level of acknowledgement, it is impossible for me to surmise that it was anything beyond normal. You are asking me to interpret a sketchy...

Apologies if it was offensive; I genuinely didn't mean to be. She doesn't need to be a liar or stupid or a fantasist. I don't think she was. I have been tricked by phishing emails, I have backed Welbeck to be top goalscorer, I have bought shares in Anglo Irish Bank, so I hope making an error...

http://www.askamathematician.com/2012/11/q-if-energy-is-neither-created-nor-destroyed-what-happens-to-the-energy-within-our-bodies-and-brains-when-we-die/ Have a read of that, and let me know what you think, Redhead.

I would love to get all scientific, Clive, but you haven't really given me much to go on. Were you at this event? Or are you relying on someone else's account? Just because you loved somebody or just because they are otherwise very grounded and not gullible doesn't mean that they don't have...

Do you really mean that socialism is a a comprehensive 100% cast iron FAILURE? Or do you think types of socialism are failures? Communism, Libertarian socialism / anarchism, Liberal socialism, Democratic socialism, Ethical socialism (some say Blairism)?

I'm off to Leopardstown shortly. Hope to see ye all there.

Thankfully I put a week of Slim's wages on. Not my own. No harm done indeed.

A buddy of mine answered Conduit, but that was not as a 3yo. It may be a moot point anyway, as Varian says he won't run unless they water the track.

Has a horse that has run in the Eclipse ever won the Leger.

I would lke to report an infraction to the moderators.. Merlin the Magician has clearly hacked into my account.

All this talk of Salmond and Sturgeon. Makes me want to dust down some of my fish jokes. What do you call a haddock in a tie? Sofishticated. What did the blind man say when he passed the fish market? Good morning, ladies. What do you call a fish with no eyes? Fsh. How do you stop a fish...

The Great War has no chance in this race.

There are a few hints in Avenir Certain's pedigree to suggest that she will stay. Le Havre has sired a few stayers in his short stud career. Not least Auvray (3yo), who won a G3 at Longchamp over 1m7f at the weekend. And although her dam operated at around a mile, go back in the family and...

I'm now a confirmed runner on Saturday. My wife has chosen not to include me in Sunday's declarations. I can only think she's got my long-term future in mind, and she is worried about the dreaded bounce.

Check out the 7f handicap at Leopardstown on Saturday, Warbler. You'll be hooked again.

I'd be more likely to go if the racecourse management could confirm they'll put the Vuelta up on the big screen before racing.
