          It's the 2.20 they're paying out double on isn't it? Not the 2.55?

            I couldn't quite place where I recognised her from prior to Queens Gambit but having looked it up, it seems she is Michael's wife in Peaky Blinders.

            Totally different look but she was good in that too.

            Looming Tower & The Night Manager are my most recent shows given Amazon Prime now on Sky.
            Both are quite good; Jeff Daniels, Tom Hiddleston & Hugh Laurie, you can't go too far wrong.

              I think the shine has well and truly gone off Jack Kennedy. I'd be more inclined to back against him than not these days.

              Pure armchair punter view of course. Wouldn't mind the GAB thoughts.

                Sitting here playing chess with the 6 year old because of that show.

                      What's the story on that I have only been payed the place part on the second

                      Edit: settled now, not often one of those offers works out quite so well

                      Dunvegan has always looked to me like one who should be able to win a race like this.

                              My usual sourse of decent Christmas tips have all had a nightmare and so as I'm a blind follower I've been equally burnt. To a lesser degree though . A winner be nice though .

                                  Some tough sport, genuine real world highs and lows from Paddy Corkery having a good horse winning a big pot and he doesn't want to sell it to middling small owners losing an extremely promising horse when it had its race won all being commentated on by Davy Russell who is bursting to get back in the saddle once the doctor's tell him his broken neck has repaired well enough!

                                      A complete waste of money.

                                      A bowl, a pack of water wipes and nappy bags is all you need.

                                      Hot water in the bowl, drop a wipe into it. Nappy and wipe into a bag and into the bin.

                                      Spent a small fortune on those cartridges on #1. Plus the thing stinks when it starts to get full.
                                      Was obvious that I was gonna get one of these as a Christmas gift after this.

                                        Ha ha yes feel a bit foolish now but was roaring at the screen at the time. RC just nailed it at the end, just different gravy but that fall put me up 40% on the day so happy days.

                                            1. Where two tens combine in Cork
                                            2. Where the King sips his G&T
                                            3. Classical dance in the kitchen
                                            4. Sounds like an ambulance

                                            We have 4 = Nenagh...?

                                                Another tricky one here.

                                                Q65 Fill in the blank space...
                                                1. ER UI IO ??
                                                2. AV31 AW21 MN21 CN??
                                                3. FIGC RFEF DFB ???

                                                For #3 we have FIGC = Italian Football Federation, RFEF = Spanish Football, DFB = German Football, but can't place what would be missing.

                                                                                                  Our guess for the link so far is 'heart' is in the lyrics of all 3 songs. Not convinced on it.
