Harry, Aussie Jim should probably ditch calling and stay with analysis for the Telegraph! Mark Johnson: very nice bloke, loves Jersey and the USA, but very shouty through the entire race. John Hunt - there is a very harsh tone to his voice and he's also shouty. Lee McKenzie - smashing fun...

DJ - when did GEORDIELAND curl up numerous times? There are two races where he failed to shine - after one, he had done a tendon and was out for over a year (normal treatment) and after his comeback, he finished sore. He has a very good race record and to have bled once in the Antipodes doesn't...

I also missed a lot of the start of Doubt for the same reason - but if you know what it's about, I don't think it'll matter overall, Moe. It is good - it's amazing that just three thesps hold together an entire film. Philip Seymour Hoffman is a darn good actor - I want to see him in the biopic...

You can hardly overplay the record of a man whose personal life enclosed a great deal of lying and deceit, surely? (As an opponent and also if you really take church vows seriously, which, as we know, a good many Americans do.) Some might say, heck, if he can be that loose and that deceitful...

I take it for granted commentators will call out the horses' names, or they're not much use! But I also appreciate colours being called, which Dessie never does. Given the size of Irish fields, at least 20, up to 30, calling out which is where changes so often that an early call of the main...

There's no doubt about Gingrich's hypocrisy when criticising Clinton at the same time as being married and boffing the woman who is now Wife No.3. You might well say that's in the past, but a liar is still a liar, and he can hardly stand for good ole family values.

Cheeseeatingsurrendermonkeys cinema - should go down a treat with Rotten Tomatoes! Just watching Bee Movie - the mosquito pal comes flying in and is introduced as a lawyer. "You're a lawyer?" asks the cow client. "Yes! I was already a bloodsucking parasite - all I needed was a briefcase!"

And how was CORIOLANUS? Is this going to be the film which no-one can pronounce or write correctly? :lol: Plenty of good stuff out, by the look of it. What's this new thing with George Clooney looking loony in the trailers? I saw a quick trail and missed the title.

Serves Obama right for living up to the traditional American Way of Life, doesn't it? Happily married with two healthy kids, slim, reasonably attractive and without a stain on his character, but he's accused of not being exciting enough. I think he's got to do better than go to it with one of...

How very cynical of you, Colin - Bruce may have mildly irritated a few people on here, but I feel that his views, commingled with his unique phrasing and grammatical constructs, bring a refreshing insouciance to the usual application of the English language. And, boring as feck as Dessie is...

Not another one! Really? In that case, def not!!! I never read anything about that, Moe. He finished up in 2009 with a tendon strain (which is why he took 2010 out) and returned to finish sore (probably because the ground was agin him), but I must admit to not seeing any remarks about bleeding...

CROSS OF HONOUR (love his Mum's name!) builds steadily on his debut and comes a fine second at Market Rasen against a fair-sized field. Very pleased for you and your co-owners, Michael O. After his expectations, I think Roddy will be disappointed after BED's down-the-list finish today, but as...

If they want jumpers, they ought to go to proven jumps stallions. That way, at least they'll know that the sire has gone the distance they're looking for, with appropriate respiratory strength. If she has that weakness, they want to try to diminish its possibility of being passed along to any...

I think they were spoofing the orange dots, Arkers, which looked very tiny in the pic of one they put up. I think chaps should now attend wearing orange-dotted ties, and the women orange-dotted dresses with matching hats, bags, and shoes. And cars should sport big orange dots on their...

My absolute worst commentator. And that's going some. Not the slightest insight into how horses are running or jumping, just front to back, front to back (missing a faller - although to be fair, he has picked a few up more than he used to in the past year), front to back (missing the change up...

DR MASSINI x a bleeder? Hmmm... interesting. If it started at all, it might not get too far if there's a predisposition to start snottering blood, b/d. If you're thinking of NH, where there's a much stronger reliance on respirational stamina, you'd have to wonder about the mare continuing...

Wouldn't you say he has a compelling chance to place, though, Stevie Wonderboy? Or will he be too short for that to be worthwhile? As a matter of interest, at what point is a horse of no interest e/w? (Betting learning curve!)

"A benchmark for customer service"? :lol::lol: This, from a course which cut back its grandstand viewing to flog off 'loges' for a grand a day, which failed to provide Sheikh Mo's private boxes with their own loos, which totally cut off all view of the racing after an overblown refurbishment...

I'm not sure if they smell (and won't be trying to find out), but there's a trio of old boys straight out of Last of the Summer Wine who come in regularly. One's built like a bull, the other is a long streak, and the other's a little round ball. Their dress sense would get them not just one...

Jeez, some choice: Mitt or Newt? At least Barack has a certain shouty, militant sound, which I'd have thought would've appealed to a particular segment of America! And, Clivex, what chance does the outside world have if even you can't spell Newt's last name? Gingrich, dearest. It sounds like...
