    This is horse related but thought would put here rather than on the topics thread: does anyone have contact details/know anyone connected with the 'blood bank' based near Buckingham please? I have numbers/emails but they are not answering , nor my vet who is very well known in the world, the...

    Sherwood as assistant?

    Sorry I couldn't find a thread to put this on as didn't think it really was worth a thread on it's own, but it's stuck in my head so: does anyone else think it's odd, which isn't the right word, but been a long week and I can't think of another one right now which would be appropriate but does...

    Advice/help sort

    A friend of mine died recently in hospital and did not leave any contact details with them as to who to call/contact. I only found out as another friend and I had been trying to contact here by phone/email etc with no luck and then she didn't turn up at Ascot so I drove to her home and a...

    Knowledge of Italy for short break

    Looking to go to be near Pompeii but not stay there. A family member went a few years ago to Sorrento and got the train there and said about 45 minutes away. Is that the 'best' place to stay, with things there to see and do, and not be too far from Pompeii. I was thinking Naples was about as far...

    HMRC

    I am nearing the end of a year long argument with them about my tax code: they changed mine based on an assumption of interest earned ( I have some money from selling my maisonette which needs to be reinvested rapidly, anyway) , they have basically overcharged me and owe me a refund, which I...

    King George V1 & Queen Elizabeth Stakes - Ascot

    Apologies but I can't see a thread for this, and I know most of us are desperate for the autumn to come, but this is, or was, one of the races of the year and we don't seem bothered? One of my all time favourite days racing in years gone by, even still having been late coming to the NH racing...

    Stewards at Ascot Saturday

    Apologies as this probably doesn't warrant a whole thread to itself, but couldn't find someone else appropriate to ask: how the hell did Swindler keep the race yesterday at Ascot, and places remain unaltered? A jockey and horse could have been seriously injured/killed? Absolute joke. Does...

    Syndicate opportunities recommendations

    A colleague and his wife are looking for a syndicate to join for at least a year. They would prefer the flat, but are open to suggestions. They live just outside Bradford, so a trainer based in the North of England would be better so they can go to Open Days etc. Any suggestions would be...

    Health warning for horses concerning sycamore pods being poisonous

    Apparently a new occurrence this year that the pods are proving potentially fatal for horses. Early signs of a problem include excessive thirst and what appears to be signs of colic. It can affect the very young and old in particular but having said that an 8 year gelding who was in the same...

    Baby P

    I have just read in the Metro,with utter disbelief the sentences, handed out to the three adults involved in this appalling situation. How on earth have they only been charged with grievous bodily harm and got off so lightly? It is descipable what this child went through. Any 'professional'...

    Car scrappage deal

    Apologies if a duplicate of a previous thread; talking to car sales people today from various manufacturers, taking into account they are car sales people and may need a pinch of salt sometimes with the things they say ( no offence to any on the forum), but they all said that the Government...

    Civilized society?

    On the daily grind to work on train and tube Wednesday 20th May 2009: Man on tube opposite picks nose and eats the result from the end of his finger. Missed a bit but went back to make sure he got it all. Three younger members of the population, but not under the age of majority, giggling and...
