A Lockinge that remains vivid was Lester Piggott's win on Polar Falcon in 1991, beating the 1/2 fav In The Groove Just four runners and Piggott deliberately dwelt in the stalls ensuring he'd get a good lead; that being mine and the consensus opinion anyway In last all the way he pulled Polar...

Just light showers overnight here in York, which ceased an hour ago to leave an overcast sky There seems to be some uncertainty about how far north the heavier rain currently sweeping the south will get, but my pinecone and seaweed is forecasting a dry, cloudy afternoon Going largely the same...

Is that Clay Cross's finest John Lowe, the 'gentleman of darts' ? Saw him in Marks and Spencer, Sheffield circa 1985

Why thankyou Orthopterid, hope you're still snatching pebbles Jack o' the Green Let's float Upstream

This thread was also posted to TRF and Alan Potts, being a member there, has replied to say he's returned to betting on-course with king cash Proper punting that: '1000/120 the 3 horse please' Shame that these ersatz plastic notes inflicted on us are distinctly unfoldable and unthumbable :)

Marb, off topic, but why are you still a 'Journeyman' after 7,438 posts? Have you not written a winner yet? :)

Form Study or Maths? Form Study and Maths surely: those two disciplines are hardly mutually exclusive The form student ploughing through 'data' viz the analysis of races is - knowingly or not - employing some maths: the interpretation of third-party ratings and fluid handicap marks, the 'true'...

By the way, hope you're in good form Marb and that life's treating you kindly

I really couldn't give a toss about the fate of the Tories post-election, and have not given any thought to what the phoenix will look like should one rise from what will hopefully be a furnaced pyre of fused ashes. Depends to an extent on how well Reform do at the GE I guess Labour will...

Yep, still a resident of the wapentake The Selby and Ainsty parliamentary constituency was famously taken by Labour in a recent by-election: the MP Keir Mather is just 26 and a fine young fella. Unfortunately the constituency is being abolished for the next general election and the name Ainsty...

It's close to Racing Green RGB 0,66,37 https://www.color-hex.com/color/004225 Perhaps with a little more Green, say RGB 0,75,37

Sagittarius and my name is Drone Sometime poster and longtime lurker Does a guy called Warbler still post here? Something of a politics guru with many interesting posts on Chit-Chat

Good to see you too littlefeat; your posts thus far on this shiny new board have been pleasingly polite...which is nice In big fields of convivial talking horses garrulous amateur riders bruised from being thrown can cause much trouble in running. Aged taciturn apprentices are wise enough to...

Very smart new forum, well done. I particularly like the green colour scheme

How nice to be remembered Marb(le):) and hope you are well and content with your lot Think I first came across this site when it was mentioned over at TRF, 10 or more years ago

This is a good site for coin valuation: http://www.coins-of-the-uk.co.uk/values/index.html Unless 'bright uncirculated' (BU) they're likely to be worthless, though if your two bob bits are pre-1947 they'll be worth at least £4 as they were 50% silver until then Masses of coins and banknotes...

Watched it following your recommendation. Well acted and a powerful examination of a nervous breakdown and the dangers of going 'cold turkey' following over-reliance on benzodiazepines and antidepressants. Otherwise, rather too formulaic and cliched I reckon with a particularly weak - if happy -...

By gum, not 'arf. That was seriously unsettling and as you say, a masterful piece of acting: the quintessence of Psychopathy. The performance of DCI Stewart barely coping with the grizzly revelations was splendid too

Enjoyed the first two series of Unforgotten and now half way through Series 3, so no more spoilers please :)

There was some rather confusing news on this 35-day data kicking around on the BBC yesterday This from the BMJ might clarify: Among people aged 70 and over, protection against symptomatic covid-19 after a single dose of the Pfizer vaccine reached 61% (95% confidence interval 51% to 69%) from...
