another day of fun and frolics.

how we doin juicers?

Fucking "It's A Knockout" for four months until Doncaster, Eric. Even the biggest race of the jumps season is such a spectacle they put it in the flat season.

Put the fucking things between the shafts and leave the car at home, IMO. Best use of the fat fuckers. The racing equivalent of Hackney Marshes for football

i don't understand a fuckin word of that.
sorry.

National Hunt racing, Eric. If the flat season were the Open golf, the NH season is 9 holes for two quid with a borrowed putter at Skegness with a clown on one hole and a windmill on another and a free go if you ring the bell at the end.

you're a fan of the jumps then.

i have mixed feelings about the jumps i'm afraid.
well,
about all racing really.

what a cold,grey,miserable day.
tempted to go back to bed,
but if i do,
i won't sleep tonight.
probably won't sleep well tonight anyway.

Comfortably in the "no" camp, Eric. Horses running fast makes sense - a pursuit of excellence. Horses doing obstacle courses is fucking stupid.

So youve been too then bert

Don't get me wrong, BOAT, I'll have a day at any race meeting (NH racing is all about having a heavy coat, drinking coffee out of polystyrene and drying your coat out afterwards in the Wine Lodge) but I'll be fucked if I consider it something I'd put time aside to watch if I weren't there.
