I wonder if you are still MIss D's hero rubschin:
-
Still? I doubt I ever have been. cry:
-
Of course you are pet .... lol: ...though on that form you are not likely to make me a millionairess on Friday rubschin:
-
2/6 isn't that bad for Cheltenham. Every horse has very good form and has a chance so finding the winner is is not easy. You'll just as likely to find the winner going by a name you like or a horse that you like the look of.
Having said that I once went to Cheltenham many years ago on a Corporate junket. We had a jockey come in to "mark our card" I collected a couple of quid from each person at the table and put it on a "placepot" accumulator. It was a great moment at the end when I counted out a couple of hundred pounds to each of us.
-
Uncle is corrupt eeek:
-
And Miss D knows how to apply the whip ....... Could be a winning combination. razz:

Well we are unlikely to get a jockey coming in and marking our cards lol: However we do have an advance party that are attending for the next couple of days and then the whole gang on Friday.
We also do a placepot accumluator within the group so if there are about 12 of us we all bung in about 20 or 30 quid and then mark our cards accordingly. We keep those and end of racing score the points according to 1st, 2nd and 3rd place and the pot is divided between the gold, silver and bronze award winners.
We even have our own little piss taking presentation ceremony lol:

Why does this all sound so scarey to me?

Good grief... eeek:
If only I was available tonight...if only I 'd had more warning...if only you had revealed the true reason to come to Gloucestershire...
but what would Nick say... ;)
He's prolly on the dog and bone to you even now...

I wouldn't go to another Gold Cup day but I would return for other events :thumbsup:

Jump season rubschin:
-
Ladies day dear boy whistle:
-
I have to say if yesterday was any example of how we manage crowds and travel at sporting events we are truly fecked for the Olympics this year noooo: noooo: noooo:
There were no reservations on the train going back - not allowed. When you got to the train station you were kettled into queues depending on your destination with the great British hoy polloy trying to push past you as it was completely unacceptable that they would be expected to queue evil:
Then they waited for the train came in and it was absolute mayhem noooo:
2 coppers saying " please do not crush others and don't run , you'll get on the train " noooo: noooo: noooo:
Hideous it was noooo:
-
They've only been having the cup for 193 years, I'm sure lessons will be learnt and all will be perfick for the Olympics like whistle:
-
Which is what confuzzled me to be honest. They made so many mistakes on such a busy day...the town centre was chocca blocca at midday when much of the traffic was gridlocked.
As you slowly crawl past huge delivery vans that are obviously topping up the provisions for the shops and pubs etc you think why is this not being done at another time noooo:
One of the funniest things I heard was some bloke moaning because his helicopter wasn't allowed to fly in due to a bit of low lying fog and there was no other VIP route in ::) I'm sure he must have needed a bath as soon as he got home ::)
-
Anyways we managed to get on a train along with 3 million other people. You can imagine how packed to the rafters it was .
Some kindly gents gave up their seats for the ladies cloud9:
We couldn't even squeeze into a carriage so our seats were the fold down type outside the disabled toilet. You know the one that takes a lifetime for the slidey door to open and then you stand then not doing anything ( again for a lifetime) before you are satisfied the door is closed and locked.
After a day on the lash you can imagine how busy this potentially could have been...however due to the crush most people weren't even attempting it. Those that did however had left it far too long to wait. noooo:
Then these completely wankered idiots were just looking at it trying to work out how to use it....we got tired of saying " just push the button with the light on"..
We had some blokes standing next to us who were really quite funny and by about half way through the journey they intercepted anybody going into the bog saying that the ladies were actually a judging panel and wanted to see style, lack of fragrance and panache when using the facilities and we would score them as soon as the doors opened lol:
We also got anyone going into them to do a Star in their Eyes thing ....as soon as they had finished and the doors opened we had " and tonight Matthew I'm gonna be " lol:
-
" and tonight Matthew I'm gonna be " . . . .
. . ."James Riddell !"
