so many good causes,jack berry had the right idea,

i just binned some stuff from the injured jockeys fund.
i used to be into racing.
now i'm not.
evolution eh?
whatever.

jack berry used to have this thing every year where he'd set out a grid,
divide a paddock into square metres.
he'd put these square metres up for sale,
and then,
when they were all sold,
at a fiver a go,
he'd let a horse loose in the paddock,
and whoever's square the horse shit on,
eventually,
won a cash prize.

such a simple idea.

i liked jb,
never met him of course,
but seemed okay.

would love to have known jonjo,
and patted old sea pigeon.
such happy memories of those two.

happy days.

The horse he used for that on more than one occasion was OI Oyston.

His (racing) owner [the horse was retired to the yard IIRC] Owen Oyston was a self-made millionaire estate agent who is the majority shareholder of Blackpool FC and convicted rapist.

There's a sentence you don't see every day.
