Colin Jackson deserves a mention so here it is....

Yes,lets remember a certain St Nicholas Abbey!!

I am sure I read or heard Mark Rimmell say that they would retire him after his next win.I think I heard it on ATR's Get On programme a few months ago.Hope he signs off now on a winning note.

Zarilan was fatally injured in the first at Ponte today,hard luck on a small stable:(

Thanks Muttley. After many calls and conversations with various people it appears that,as you have pointed out, her state pension as been taxed at the wrong rate due to the wrong code being used. It still befuddles me though how or why you pay tax on your state pension:confused:

If anybody can explain to me why my Mother,who has been retired for the last 3 years and live's off her State Pension,an army pension and a small private pension (taxed at source), has to pay £1585 to HMRC for underpaid tax for the periond 07/08 and 08/09 I would be forever grateful. The...

Sounds exciting Grasshopper! Be sure to keep us up to date on his progress and good luck. Good luck to all others too of course ;)

I think Kri as summed it up on my behalf perfectly in her last post. A couple of points, the prizemoney listed on the results page of RP only had 2 amounts so I was assuming it was first two places,my mistake. I imagine though,the four figure sum for third was @ £2000 or less. I'm sure the...

Firstly,I'm no jockey and don't even ride, but I have common sense and am becoming a bit dis-illusioned with jockey's who continue riding horse's and making them jump obstacles when all chance as gone:mad: Although today's instance didn't result in an injury or worse, (winded and laid on...

Thanks Kri. Yes,the younger one (Kady - pronounced Kay Dee) love's the camera and will pose all day but Skye, my old Belgian Shepherd, is very camera shy and I have to catch her unaware for an 'ears up' picture:D

Aye,gutted to hear that DJ. I remember being at Wetherby when he was running for Fahey and he was the 'talking horse' that day and duly obliged by 10 lengths! I followed him after that,not always backing but just to see how he did. Commiserations to the syndicate and all involved.:(

Winner of the 2006 Cheltenham Bumper Hairy Molly was killed in action tonight,terrible fall at the last.

I had my two insured up to about 18 months ago,let it lapse, then the older one had a lump which needed surgery in March.£300 lighter I decided to re-insure them and got it with Animal Friends Insurance(AFI) through the Co-Op. Costs me £20 per month for both for basic insurance with a £65...

First day in ages I have actually got to watch some racing.Watched the York meeting this afternoon and then watched the evening racing. Wish I hadn't! Looked like we lost Smoothly Does It at Hereford and Glacial Promise at Killarney looked to break his shoulder in a fall.

Slightly out of context,I am going to try the Neurofen gel on my knee.Been to the Docs today for results of X-rays-no bone damage or arthritic signs-good times,but she reckons its the tendon-bad times!!

Looked like Sidney Sling broke a hind leg there at Ffos Las.

Little Johnny attended a horse auction with his father. He watched as his father moved from horse to horse, running his hands up and down the horse's legs and rump, and chest. After a few minutes, Johnny asked, 'Dad, why are you doing that?' His father replied, 'Because when I'm buying...

So............who's your money on for the next Labour leader?? Can't see any 'stand out' candidate! How long are we thinking this CON/LIB coalition will last?? 18 months tops me thinks.

Just for tonight!!! While walking down the street one day a "Member of Parliament" is tragically hit by a truck and dies. His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance. 'Welcome to heaven,' says St. Peter. 'Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see...
