I don't usually enjoy being a begrudging hater but watching Ted Walsh's amateur hour effort at getting his horse well handicapped and picking up a big pot going tits up was a genuine pleasure.

today and yesterday a great two days not to go racing () but succumbing to the itch tomorrow

[BobSloane]

The parkruns are great events, they are really catching on loads more starting in 1015.

I blame Brian Boru

Fantastic excuse for a rewatch either way

I just finished reading "The Corner". Great read if you liked the wire. Slightly odd fact -One of the main characters from the corner, DeAndre, played the part of Lamar, Brother Mouzanes bodyguard in the wire. Sadly died in 2012 of heroin overdose.

(Probably not very interesting but I just discovered this in the last few hours)

The rain yesterday was enough reason not to go. Though I was tempted to give my pussy magnet/ wind resistant umbrella a spin. One of my nephews won €170 on some redic bet. No idea on how much he loosed

Last night of this years Irish Poker Rankings with the Fitzwilliam EOM looking like the battleground with 4 still in with a shot of coming out on top......

yeah, don't know what the attendance was yesterday but I'd say it was minimal (usually packed to the gills)

fair to say I would have done the loots so a narrow escape, ty weather

Presume he also tipped every other horse in the race except his own !!

Backed Glenguest ew for small shillings in the Welsh National. Was sure he was home and hosed when he took it up 2 out. Ew ok but the win would have been sweet.

Like Raoul though, would have lost the gonads if had been punting seriously yesterday and today.

Ahb ollix, dunk out ;of my gourd. Need to uy a toothbrush an bread. Cnt seebthi enfing well.

Ted's finest moment today came in the closing credits sequence.
Earlier he was shiteing on about how he didn't give Heskin any instructions, how he hated getting instructions when he was riding and he never gives them himself. Then in the edit there is a few seconds of him in the parade ring speaking very forthrightly pointing and gesticulating right into the lads face

Yesterday despite being 2000 down on last year from what i read was still packed to the gills only because everyone got indoors because of the rain.
What used be my fav racecourse is now just so tilting to go and has slid down the pecking order. The racing management are poor and the management before the current boss the same. Unless i get to share a vip with Bono i wont be back Stephens day anytime soon.

1.) As usual there is very little in way of seeing UK races. You have to either squeeze Japanese metro style into the paddypower shop(which is a health hazard its so packed) or encroach into a cafe amongst tables to see racing. No UK racing channel in the Jodami bar still which is a joke. This is the biggest bug bear i have. You can go to lesser known track and RUK is everywhere incl the betting ring(Gowran, Navan to name just 2).

2.) Staff. They generally havent a clue and are clearly locals or regulars drafted in for the big days. Barmen for example the majority im sure arent even barmen just barmen for the day. They have no idea how to serve efficiently.

3.). This isnt just Leopardstown but my observation of Irish racing seems its just narrowly behind Nascar for the most racist sport regarding hiring people in it. From top to bottom you never see foreign staff. This includes parking attendants, stiles staff, Tote staff(not a shot at GAB but jesus so many owl ones in their 50's-60's a lot of which have little or no interest), Bar staff, litter warden staff. Any staff as high or low you can think of.

4.) 12-14k people at the racecourse i heard but not a St Johns ambulance pair seen patrolling the stands ever and i seen a man take a crashing fall in the stands yesterday really hurt and not a sign of any help.

5.) PP shop. Its not packed enough you can barely move but they still have to show the live premiership game to pack in more non betting droolers in to gawp at it. Turn off the fcuking football!. Id introduce a banking style rope to the tills order in way of placing bets that take up the whole floor i.e if your not placing bets fcuk off.

These are just the main points.

Rounders you really should have a weekly column or something. Brilliant stuff.

Went to Wimbledon dogs a while ago with a few mates

Easily the the most depressing place (outside the Irish midlands) I've ever been.

Inside is just a dodgy chipper with the tote windows

Outside the only place to stand was the betting ring

The fact you couldn't see the races from there didn't seem to bother anyone

Got there late so didn't bother trying to go upstairs but looked no better


Ohhh and the whole place was like a chavtastic family day out
Felt sorry for the kids

Thanks, most people who get to listen to me long enough think im mad. But im sure im not. As George Hook says ''It druives me mad''.
What pisses me off is that it could be so much better.
Yeah i hear a lot of dog tracks in the uk are the grimmest of places but thats generally accepted.

Could get used to drinking Redbreast in the afternoon. Couldn't pull the trigger on the 21 y.o. so went with 12 instead. Still pretty damn good.

I used to live off the Top 100 list on Piratebay. Is there anything similar doing the rounds? I've just been browsing the usual suspect sites above and some others, and looking for films i like, but wouldn't mind a 'go to' like i used to!

Season One is, I expect the next seasons will follow in the coming days as they're shown in the US.

You could use a site like rapidmoviez or rlsbb that show you a list of the stuff that has just been released on a day to day basis (good for tv/movies) to download.

Did my 2nd ever 5k parkrun in Knocknacarra earlier this morning, recorded an improved time of 23.13. Felt pretty good during run, could see myself getting into these 5ks!

Nice one, you will be breaking the 20min in no time, one of my resolutions for next year is to run 2000km for the year.

Also bought a new tv in the sales so that resolution will be in 4k

I can remember her being on a Sunday radio show where she defended the campaign to have those particular criminals released as politicals. Which was odd as it is widely believed they were on an unauthorized lifestyle funding solo run when they gunned down Gerry McCabe in cold blood.

My beautiful Granny passed away suddenly this evening, what a legend of a woman. 89 yrs old , reared 12 kids and me for many years . My poor mother is heart broken. The poor woman went to the toilet and to take her vicks medicine for a cold she had. My uncle was staying with her tonight . she called out his name and he went to the kitchen and she was on the floor and he picked her up to place her on chair but she was gone

such a huge shock to everyone tonight.
I posted this before , she was 87 in this pic ( in purple) beautiful woman.

[oleras]

Very sorry Michelle.
