Just braved a chili chicken salad sub at the Day Job. The lettuce in particular seemed to have lived a life. gc

Nail. Head. gc

Nick, Nick, Lama Sabachthani? As of May 12th 2010, I became a liberal without a party. gc

As seen in Sheffield last Thursday night - nidiepop's pre-eminent Anglo-Australian janglers du jour and my fave single of 2012 so far: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGrnXEBq3QE gc

I've not had the time to devote to these races as I would have liked, alas, owing to a server meltdown at the Day Job yesterday, but my thinking at the moment is to have a couple of small each-way tilts on Gidam Gidam and Special Portrait at this remove, and maybe something in-running on both...

Seconded! gc

Hope to see Keppol's Hill on Sunday, Martin, if I do end up doing the racereading there - all TBC. It'd make sense, as I'm working at Larkhill on Saturday and Charlton Horethorne is barely half an hour away from there, but that's a decision to be made by another Martin, not me. :-D gc PS...

It is - he resumed about two months ago on a small scale. Association maintained with Point-to-Point trainer Tom Lacey also. gc

:-D

That is Lower Machen (aka Rhydygwern) isn't it, Roddy? Certainly that's where the Gelligaer Farmers meeting I've been to at least once was held at. gc

Probably e/w on The General Lee in the Ludlow race; partly for the very reason of jockeyship Martin mentioned (JD Moore won the national novice riders' title in 1998 and is still better than many 14 years on), and partly as TGL has tended to need a run or two back before hitting his straps fully...

I've gone Pointing at Ystradowen, Laleston, Bonvilston and Lower Machen. Oh, and Bangor. Do I win? ;-) gc

Colin, Racing Plus is what used to be Racing Ahead Weekend, although Racing Ahead boss Stephen Mullen has nothing to do with the publication and hasn't for virtually any of its existence. Different company altogether. Professional interest compelled me to purchase a Racing Plus for the...

So where are the Pointing great and good heading to this weekend, then? Presumably Horseheath for you on Saturday, Martin, but if you're Tweseldowning on Sunday I'll be there also. At last, at last - my last three planned visits have all been scuppered by the weather! Pretty wet day...

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/big_brother/264841/Weird-Jontys-Idol-attack.html I very much fall into the category of those who think Bradley will reverse Warwick form with Monkerty Tunkerty, for reasons already espoused on this forum and another. Got some of the 40-1 e/w about...

LOL. Sympathise entirely - sometimes it feels less of a case of "well done" and more one of "stakes is raised", doesn't it! :cool: Jeremy (graysonscolumn)

Dunno if I mentioned it at the time, but George told me after her win on day one of the season that he'd love her to spend the forthcoming spring and summer contesting handicap hurdles on the quickest ground permissible - she'd be a good bet to run up a sequence starting off from her tiny mark...

Oooh 'eck, Moe, looks like I've found the music thread on this forum as well now! On the evidence of eight years' worth of noise pollution over at the other place, this could get involved and wayward... :D But for now, here's one I know you and I both adore...

One of the best quids you'll ever spend - an outstanding career highlight from the wry, dry, filthy, misanthropic mind of Stephin Merritt. Seeing the entire 69 Love Songs being played over the course of two evenings at Hammersmith Lyric Theatre nigh on a decade ago remains one of the best...

What Martin said, basically. I'd also like to point to Eleazar's ability to defy sizeable lay-offs as another virtue of his - three times in his career he's gone in after absences as long as today's or longer. Barbers Shop has won twice on seasonal reappearance himself if one includes his...
