I don't mind Scu at all. I warmed to him in his latter years as a jockey (probably from about Un Temps Pour Tout's first Ultima) and I think he's okay for a newcomer, much as Clare Balding was a tad...

If this is the start of the stable's fortunes turning round - hopefully it is - then we could be in for fireworks at Aintree.

Disney can be educational. When I first watch Dumbo I had to ask was a pachyderm was. The word has stuck with me ever since!

I think it's fair to say you needed to be pretty pachydermatous to have grown up in my family.

(You also had to be able to give as good as you got.)

I do get that, simmo, and I'm not necessarily busting a gut to defend G-G (she's more than able to defend herself) but on a purely personal level I'm not going to criticise when I'm more than capable...

That was my first reaction but given that it was a highly respected woman who wrote it I wondered if I was being a bit woke myself.

Within the four walls of my own home or earshot of my immediate...

I have ITV on in the background.

Megan Nicholls is sounding more and more like Jimmy Lindley...

Would it have happened had someone been singing God Save the King?

Not a chance.

I'm no nationalist but I thought it was a poor show from ITV continuing with interviews while the Welsh anthem was being murdered.

:)

My brother, as an 8yo, got a medal for singing at a feis (it was either in one of the big theatres or the City Chambers in Glasgow) and is wont to remind us all of the fact.

I got him back...

That's not so much nepotism, simmo, as recognition of skills and abilities.

Congratulations.

:thumbsup:

I would guess if you wikied the name of every journalist on the Guardian the chances are the majority have come from working class or 'second-generation' working class, if I can put it like that, ie...

Of course they do, and especially in politics, but i don't believe for a second that the people I know are exceptions.

Much more insidious, for me, is the anti-Irish-Catholic culture that exists...

That's incredibly narrow-minded, Marb, with respect.



Two in my family alone and my.mate's wife, and that's without even starting to think of anyone else I might know.



Our own Ardross.

Oh dear, Chapman at his most cringeworthy worst this morning.

Megan Nicholls and Mick Fitz don't know where to look.

How Chapman survives on this programme is beyond my ken.

A bit late in posting this but seeing Luke Harvey on the morning programme today reminded me that, despite my cringing slightly when he comes on, I do want to credit him for asking Harry Cobden the...

Glad I missed that. It would have bugged me too!

:lol:

Have the Goodwood executive got something against the ITV team?

Having their people host the morning programme in that foul weather is ridiculous. For all I dislike Chapman, I wouldn't wish that...

To make groups of gullible clowns want to come racing and spend their money within the sport rather than within the wider hospitality industry.



Definitely. I often just have the racing on in...

Chapman at York prancing across the track like a f@nny.

Talk about the man who put the 'turd' in 'Saturday'...

She literally doesn't the meaning of the word.

Hopefully quintuplets, then...

How pathetic is that.

I wish they'd ditch the 'dramatic' background music when going through the field. It really annoys the t1ts off me.
