Thank goodness someone did! I looked at Serengeti because I’d been talking about a documentary called The Serengeti Rules. Then I looked at Quirat when I read that he’d been supplemented for£70,000 ( albeit knowing he was meant to be a pacemaker).And I often put my threepenny bets on complete...

Michael Morpurgo and his wife did something similar didn’t they? I was an inner city child from the slums of Birmingham ( not like those poor children, though;we were poor but there was much love) I was greatly affected by going on a camping trip with the Brownies or Girl Guides; the best part...

I went to Newmarket as part of my retirement present from work and was shocked at how tired and run down the place was; nothing like what I’d expected. The town centre felt rather seedy. When we went to Middleham for a holiday that was how I was expecting Newmarket to be. Mind you this was over...

Managed to find it on utube. It was lovely watching it as one of my retirement presents was a trip to Newmarket and Sir Marks stable is the one that stands out. ( Newmarket not being at all what I expected it to be; I thought it would be more like Middleham which we visited the following year)...

Oh no. I was just going to listen to the interview and it’s off Facebook and I’ve been locked out of my account and can’t access it….

It’s a long time ago that I read the book so perhaps I did realise it at the time but at this moment in time I didn’t realise that ‘The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time’ was based around a Sherlock Holmes story. Then again I was bit late sussing out that Bridget Jones Diary was...

Got beat by Kieran in the other race which made me chuckle I’m afraid…

Phew: followed you at the last minute after Aalto just got pipped at the post. Thanks! ( I did back Fox Legacy, too, having had several last minute bets in the race).

So, has Joe O’Shea not been disciplined at all? I’ve just re read the article just to get my head round it. I remember Jinny mentioning him when he won the Foxhunters.

I understand that Joe Bonamasa (sp) has bought Rory Gallaghers Stratocaster. In my youth I lived in a shared house with amongst others a guy called Ray who was a mad keen Rory Gallagher fan. He got us to go to one of his concerts which, I’m afraid to say, was lost on me. I wish I could remember...

Thanks! One of my favourite places in the world. Used to stay in a B&B overlooking the castle and loved waking up to the sound of the horses hooves on the cobblestones on their way to the gallops.

Probably the best week I’ve ever had, betting wise. Having had a rotten couple of weeks; bad knee reaching the point of needing replacement, blocked sewage drain and then furniture beetle infestation, I only had time to quickly go through the runners before each race, read the comments and...

Really enjoyed watching Stereophonics and Supergrass.

I liked English Teacher when I watched the Mercury Music Prize, so I’ll watch them. But it isn’t very inspiring, is it?

I think everybody but me was there that year! I got bored with Sting and switched to watching Border Morris on utube. I’m hoping that there might be some interesting bands that I’ve not heard of of on tomorrow.

Is on Sky Arts over the weekend. Ch36 or 11. Corrs, or Corns which spell check keep changing them to ( remember them!) have just been on….

Yes, I looked him up on TRP last night. It was a year or so ago.

Isn’t that the second fatality the Hannons have had recently?

It might just have been a distant memory of Klairon Davis that resulted in the colours catching my eye!

Just backed Ascending in running! Such a long time since I’ve managed to do that!
