As I said, some may be out, some may be in, Simon. What's A. Stokell doing with herself? She was still going last year. Good list from you, thanks for all of those names. Very interesting to see one woman from the Czech Rep, disappointing only one from Italy and none from Sweden - so far...

Maybe we should have a separate thread under "Best Film Endings"! Everything's subjective, isn't it? Whether it's humour (Frankie Boyle debate, etc.), what the Tate shows, who gets a Nobel or an Oscar, fashion, architecture, food, drink, books... I thoroughly enjoy some films which I imagine...

Moe - :lol::lol::lol: Oh, that's so funny! I honestly thought Lovely Leo had taken it very seriously!

Yes, he sure was, c/l - we don't often think of cancer taking horses, and thankfully it's not as prevalent as it is in humans, or the ranks would be decimated much more than they are. Sorry to hear of a sad end for ALPHA RIDGE - what a great record he had, good money won, just 10.

Stay behind after school, naughty one! I have her up there, dearest, under her full and glorious name, followed by France in big letters! Seriously, aren't there any female trainers in Germany, Italy, and there have got to be some in the USA? Going back to the Flat vs NH question, I'm not...

I read on Atacanta that Gigginstown has lost their talented BEAUTIFUL SOUND, pts due to a cancerous growth on his leg (Tweeted by trainer Gordon Elliott).

Now that's taking Method a bit too far! Did he also refuse to clip his finger and toenails, and wear Kleenex boxes on his feet? Ecchhh!

LE: the Pyramids? A cockernee knees-up? Dracula's eyebrows? Madonna lying down? :confused: Okay, I give up...

Trefflich: you asked whether "you" - Very Very Ordinary - would agree with women assuming higher positions in work. I'd have thought that, having put up the topic, it was likely that the viewpoint was that he (or she) did. So why put it in? Unless someone is some sort of fundamentalist, I...

Oh, nothing brings out the voyeur in me more than obtuse allusions! Anyone able to put up the clip - pleeeease? :D Are they playing 'up periscope' by any chance? Such larks!

Just passing through.... just passing through... If I get the chance to see it, I'd like to, along with J. Edgar (starring Leonardo d C) which has just been reviewed on Beeb One. Hoover founded the FBI and was responsible for leading it for decades, eventually becoming too rigid and...

Pricey, she's taken - sorry! The o/h is Gearoid Costelloe, from the well-known Irish family which has produced a lot of top jumpers. But there's still Ann Stokell... If you want to read a very nice article about her, get your hands on the December issue of TB Owner & Breeder magazine, which...

Sheena was totally honest, Clivex, when my chum and I took PLACE THE DUCHESS to her from buying her out of HiT, when she left David Arbuthnot. Sheena prepped her to look like a beauty queen at Brighton, where she was ridden by Neil Chalmers. Disaster struck when she stumbled so sharply, he...

:D Yo' sho' can pick 'em, honey! The friend who's just seen War Horse was so looking forward to DOAL, but it only ran for one night at the 'arty' cinema she was going to go to, and she missed it. It got terrifically good reviews, Moe - a little way back on here we discussed the subject, and...

Oh, I had Myriam on my list, and left her off! Thanks for the extra Irish ladies, Grey - hah! Forcing the men to work? As barstool polishers and pint mug inspectors, is it? :D (No reverse sexism there, of course... ) Worlwide, there's Gai Waterhouse in Oz, and, uh... erm... :confused:

Yes - gate staff could give chaps a ball to kick before coming in, and bar those who favoured the port side. I'd love to know what the caption is regarding the trio of bystanders on the left? "Oh, dear, he's never been the same since he left the Gunners... "

"Elusive" Inside Track racing club? I'll have to tell the large bunch of them which is always very prominent and easily visible at pretty much every meeting their horses run at!

Thanks, VVO, for raising a good point which some of us were chatting about today at Lingfield. Plenty of female trainers now, some specialising (just like men) in one code or the other, some managing dual codes, like Laura Mongan, for example. Trefflich, I award you a straight 10 for that...

Fascinators weren't allowed last year, either, so that's nothing new. I have received my invitation from Her Madge's new representative, inviting me to purchase my badges for the RA - times are hard, so it's now BOGOF if you buy for all five days. (I lie, of course.) I have no desire to go...

"The sport's biggest crisis in years"... oh, come onnn! Every time there's a bit of a drama, it's the biggest crisis to hit the sport since the last biggest crisis to hit the sport. The sport may be in crisis, but it isn't because of someone smacking a horse over his ability to count. Bent...
