    BLOODSTOCK and BREEDING 2012

    Would that be the topically-named FROZEN POWER?

    The trailers look fascinating. Is it silent as well as b&w, Moe?

    Not sure where else to put this, but any news following SHANE ROCK, PU "injured" after the third at Clonmel in the Beginners' Chase, please? He was out of shot when whatever went wrong occurred. The winner ODONIMEE looks a really good type - front-running and a very competent jumper.

    Forum horse connections

    Facile win (No.8) by PIPERS PIPING under Leonna Mayor just now at Southwell, for Flame, @ 4-1. Horse is out again tomorrow at Wolves in an Apprentices race, and should be fresh enough for that.

    Thanks, Colin - it certainly shows that NH is very much no longer the poor sister to the Flat in producing extremely good sales figures, particularly for young horses.

    The Falklands - are we off again?

    I can't be bothered with this any more. Clive, you constantly present conjecture and hearsay as fact, which undermines any discussion, or attempt at a discussion, with you. You are a cyber-bully, frankly, always far too quick off the mark to simply be rude on a personal level if you see any...

    That's a bummer - it's like peeling an onion, plot-wise, as there are hidden connections at all levels and you're not entirely sure what they're leading to, and certainly no sureties about the good guys and the bad. There are codes, symbols, crossword puzzle clues, mysterious figures outside...

    The Falklands - are we off again?

    Actually, I have it from a friend who is a modern history buff, that there was indeed a referendum thoroughly discussed in 1982, when Argentina and Britain sat down to work out a non-conflict resolution. Al Haigh, representing US support for the Brits, being involved in mediating a peaceful...

    "Occult" as in the correct sense of the word meaning "hidden", Gareth, not in the more popular language of meaning "paranormal". I imagine that most intelligence services are run by the seat of their pants more often than not, if most public service organisations are anything to go by! If you...

    Watched Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy tonight and felt a little bit annoyed by it! Oh, come on, the colour palette of the time was not that dreary! There's this tendency now to think that almost monochromatic filming is trendy and lends a sort of gravitas to proceedings, whereas when it's not...

    What are you watching

    Anyone who missed Rubicon, a nice twisty little thriller set in the American Intelligence world, can catch re-runs starting tonight at 11.20 pm on Beeb Two. This is unsplashy, pared-down stuff with - like the Scandi offerings IS has mentioned - a restrained, almost washed-out, colour palette...

    See - our very own Zenyatta already foresaw that! It's that Zen intuition, of course.

    The Price Of Beer

    And they cost less than Tory MPs, too - a bargain £70,000 p.a. worth in bamboo shoots.

    The Falklands - are we off again?

    Clive: of course I'm feckin aware of the islanders' views!! But 'views' don't constitute the law. Do you read anything people put up???? You just don't get this at all, do you? Or you're just being pig-headedly obtuse. Look, there is nothing concrete at present, apart from the islanders...

    The real warhorses? Info wanted for upcoming documentary

    This month's Pegasus magazine runs the following ad: Testimony Films is producing a new documentary for Ch.4 exploring the role of real warhorses during WWI. We are making a film that explores true stories of British horses sent to the front line. The British govt. requisitioned nearly half...

    The Price Of Beer

    Don't pint glasses have a little 1pt ring around them, so you can't over or under-fill? Does the head count as being beer if you get a bit of it over the top of the ring? From the comments following the sacking, it seems to be an own goal for the brewery. The boss sounds like a curmudgeonly...

    Don't mind headstrong, though - rather that than the stuttering CUE CARD (the Tizzards have got to correct that!) - if he likes dominating his field at all costs, and remains accurate over the obstacles, then the wilfulness can be reined in a bit better next time out. It's not like he was all...

    When should you draw a line

    You can imagine the mummy monkey saying to her little one, "Now stop that humanning around, Bobo, and behave yourself." God knows that our bad behaviour is worse than any animal's, since we pride ourselves on being the most intelligent species on Earth. I sometimes wonder how we arrived at that!

    :lol::lol::lol: I love that! Christ, he wouldn't be the sort of horse on which to start losing your bottle! Really required to be controlled - could've been just let fly and might then have run out of puff, but those lungs look in damn good order to me. Whether Ruby's were afterwards... !
