Today I am mostly backing: 1:50 Elmonjed 2:25 Green Storm 3:00 Lavender Hill Mob 3:35 Zanzoun

I'm always on the lookout for a new recipe, so thought I'd see if anyone had any they wish to share. This one is currently my favourite - it's one of the tastiest I've ever made. https://www.daringgourmet.com/doro-wat-spicy-ethiopian-chicken-stew

Had to argue quite vigorously with management that I was not going to be doing any driving today - thankfully got my way - trees down all over the shop, including on the M74. It's certainly the worst one I've seen for a while, my shed is in pieces, got a fence down but thankfully nothing more...

The chat on the "then and now" thread got me thinking about the impossibility of picking out a top 3 albums list. There are so many great albums out there that I found it difficult to pin this down but I've gone with the following: Revolver - the Beatles Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd The...

Thoroughly enjoyed this article on Moscow flyer's tingle creek. https://www.sportinglife.com/racing/news/20-years-since-moscow-flyers-win-in-the-2004-tingle-creek-chase/222252

A thread for general moans and assorted grumpiness. Today's moan - the way that people, mostly from England and America, mistake the words English and British as meaning the same thing. Particularly annoying in the context of wars in which Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland played their part...

Is it possible to have a button at the beginning of a thread which you have read, that takes you to the last post. At present it is necessary to scroll to the bottom of the first page, enter the final page number, then scroll to the bottom of that. If anyone knows how to tag misterb or webzcas...

Up here in the northernmost reaches of the UK, we are about a month behind our soft southern cousins in gardening terms, so I'm delighted that I'm finally able to bring the bedding plants and my dahlias out for the summer today. Some of tulips that took a while to come through are finally...

Could someone hazard a guess at what this guy is on about?? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-68778519

It is the 20th anniversary of my joining this august forum. I remember being much more black and white in my views at that time (I've since come to the conclusion that any horse could win). I distinctly recall averring to lord H that if Albuhera won the Supreme that year, then I would eat my...

Confession. I'm a fan. My personal favourite is Judy Garland singing Have yourself a merry little Christmas. It came out in 1944 and the lyrics, I think, reflect the mood of that time of uncertainty about the permanence of life beautifully. I'd be interested to hear of any other favourites...

This one will divide opinion but I want to be absolutely clear that I am making no judgement as to the guilt or innocence of him here. I applaud rumble for not "cancelling" Russell Brands ability to make money. It is my opinion that a person should be viewed as innocent until proven guilty in a...

A place for all abuse of and fawning over Mr L Dettori during his final year in the saddle. Sporting Life is reporting that Kinross is to go for the July Cup - the only British Group 1 that Frankie has yet to win. Assuming Kinross gets there I think this gives him a reasonable chance of...

I don't have a particularly strong opinion on the new gender laws in Scotland, but I am absolutely ******* outraged that a government in England that we didn't vote for has decided that it has the power to stop them. The sooner we get independence from this shower the better imo.

Does anyone have any experience or knowledge of equity release? The mother is thinking of doing it to get some funding for house projects and has asked for my advice.

So should Dominic Cummings step down or not? I'm of the opinion that he has done something the rest of us would get pulled up for, regardless of his personal reasoning. A good comparison would be Scotland's chief medical officer who broke the lockdown and had to resign as a result. So I think...

I am giving away form books as follows. All I would ask is price of postage. Any takers? Flat 1997 Flat 1998 Jumps 97/98 Jumps 98/99
