Going was good this morning. It should be good ground. Today has seen a few showers in the area...not sure how much has hit the course, but it will unlikely be enough to soften it too much. Indeed if all the showers miss, it might be slightly quick Tomorrow, looks to be similar, but showers...

I have always thought he was tip top. Well since the Greenham anyway. To me it was insane that people thought the Guineas winner would ever beat him over a mile again, as I felt the Guineas was a strange race. I suppose I restarted this thread again as his BHA rating, and the lack of posts...

Just caught up with the JlM. Kingman was very impressive. Are we under-rating him? Bar Frankeln he's up there with the great milers in my view.

Voy Por Ustedes, Jack The Giant and Nadiya De La Vega have all featured in that 4yo chase.

I got one when I clicked on Warwick racecourse thread. On mobile version. Using my BlackBerry.

Looking to the future, I wouldn't send him to Lone Star Park if that's where the Breeders' Cup is.

I don't feel sorry for him.

Now that I read it and study what he has said, he probably could have phrased it a bit better. IT does sound greedy, agreed. Maybe parliament should be moved to the midlands?

Yes, Hamm I have read his reasoning, but I seem to be looking at it differently to you. My angle is that he can't afford a gaff and a setup in London as nice as he has in his constituency, so he has checked out. Fair enough.

Fair enough. My reading of the extracts from the Radio 4 interview was that he wanted accommodation for his family close to work. So to Mrs BtB and the little Bulls, that would mean a 3 bed gaff with a garden. Everybody lives by different standards. As things stand, in our eagerness to...

He is leaving and giving his reasons for leaving. Maybe you disagree with his reasons, but I find it frustrating that people think he is a disgrace for giving his rationale for making a career move. To me it is pretty clear that he is not whinging; he is trying to be constuctively transparent...

I suppose he is going public about this because he believes that MP's wages are too low. He doesn't appear to have done anything wrong, but he still gets calls of "disgrace". If you pay peanuts you get monkeys. And believe it or not, £74k for an MP, and £20k more for a minister is peanuts to a...

Yeah, they'd be glad of the break. Back on topic, I think people have unrealistic expectations of politicians. He is making a trade-off between what he has to sacrifice and the benefits. The benefits aren't enough for him. And he is giving his honest opinion on why he is not taking the job...

It wouldn't be enough for me to justify living and working in London away from my family.

It's not that he can't live on that. It is that he doesn't want to live on that. Of course it can be enough to feed and shelter him and buy him nice suits and a daily Americano. But it puts a strain on his life, so why do it? Life is too short. I assume he will be able to get himself a...

I don't see the big issue here. If I had to stay in London to work, it would put a strain on my family life, too. The cash would not be enough for me to carry on, so it sounds like the man is to be admired.

October.

All prizes have been settled as instructed. AC, it that lady "helper" you asked for me to send round is any good, let me know, as it's tough to get a bargain these days.

A milk float is also a machine.

You guys are a shambles. I've seen Trainspotting. You'd never manage by yourselves.
