Had Ballycairn, Killer Mode and a last second EW on History of Fashion
Obv no clue havent bet on a horse in years.

Incredible

Bugger
Thought HOF had placed but still jammy win on Ballycairn

[Strewelpeter]

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!

Less of the blasphemy, and it a Sunday. History of Fashion was 4th did your bookie pay 4th as a place as its 1-2-3 rules of racing?.
Some shock for Paddy there on the leader who was hosing in alone until he broke down and face planted Paddy.
Laid the fav myself in a treble with Liverpool game both to score but the other leg a match lost just before the Leop bumper.

[Emmet]

I thought of one Keano. Don't buy one of those nappy bin things with the cartridges of bags.

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.

Just a heads up, Dawn Run documentary on tonight TG4 21:05
Fear not music and guitar party wankers as its immediately followed by Christy Moore live for two hours. Perfect timing for Lazare I reckon who should just be finishing his dinner around then!

[thechamp87]

Partaking in a highly competitive annual Christmas quiz and stuck on some questions. Any ideas for the below?

Q62 Staycation - where are we visiting?
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...?

[mocata]

2 could be castlebar

[thechamp87]

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.

[thechamp87]

2 could be castlebar

Excellent, yes.

[mocata]

middleton for cork?

FG FF coalition ?

Yeah this is our best guess so far but felt too obvious. You might be right and we could be overthinking it!

Well ready for some spicy food at this juncture.

Stuck on/unsure of questions 7, 12, 28, 42, 56, 58, and 65a/b/d.

Q61 we have Berlin/Toronto/Venice but can't link them other than loose association with film festivals?

Q60 the 3 songs are
The Hollies - He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother
Neil Young - Heart of Gold
Springsteen - Tougher Than The Rest
...but not sure what the connection is?

Any further ideas welcomed (have to submit answers tomorrow).

Connection is metals
heavy metal
tougher = platinum

Ties in with gold/platinum albums

(Tungsten maybe but not a good fit given music connection)

Tenuous link on the songs. Graham Nash ? Did he sing with them all on stage . Not sure . Looking at the others to relieve boredom

[thechamp87]

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

[thechamp87]

Yeah we have Paper Planes down. Seems the most common guess. There's a Status Quo song called Paper Plane too.

[Solksjaer!]

FU CHAMP. that Miller one has me head wrecked . About 10 dodgy efforts thrown into the brain basket . I'll find who made that question and they will pay.

Got Q58. Question is what's next in sequence - Emma, Frances, Olivia, ???. Answer is Renee (last 4 Best Actress winners).
Q12 is FG/FF/Green coalition (the green line in the middle confirms it I think).
Q42 we think the connection is they're all colours beginning with B (shapes are to throw you off?).

So still missing (link):
Q7
Q28 (guessing Paper Planes/Paper Plane)
Q56 (Solks what's your best guess?)
Q60
Q65a 65b and 65d

[ArmaniJeans]

Green Bay v Tennessee at 1.15 looks like being a serious snow game, for anyone who like that sort of thing (I distrust anyone who doesn't)

One of my binned guesses was bubbles in my beer . An ancient country song the Wille Nelson covered . A bit obscure maybe but Paper plane is equally mad.

The look on the jockey's face was priceless, he thought he was only racing the one on the inner.

I'm so bored. When almost all the activities available to me are with either a 3 year old or a 1 year old, they don't hold much interest for me. Walk in the rain earlier while the young lad was on his scooter was almost a highlight. Nothing to do, yet no free time. Quite the contradiction!

[dinekes]

Maybe...

Beer and champagne = black velvet

The black velvet band

Hmmm..

Spent an hour this morning researching the best computer mouse and reading about all the best mouse features. That bored.

This is the winner apparently and I'll be able to update you in person on how amazing it is on Wednesday.

Sadly I won't be waiting with baited breath for your results. I did however buy the Panasonic breadmaker you linked to a while back. It's brilliant, haven't bought bread in a shop since and done a few other things in it too.

Yeah poxy yoke! for the second day in a row I've been let down for a decent treble by the odds on shot in the bumper after looking all over a winner And to rub salt in the wound Peter's one earlier was the only one who didn't place for me in an EW yankee
I know the mare quite well she has another couple of nice looking ones coming along.

Jennies doing great has moved in with Jarlath now where she has the Walk in the Park filly rising three who lost an eye as a foal and as a result won't go to the sales , she is coming along nicely is broken and already doing some pretraining with a view to making a decision about when she might be ready to race after the summer. There is a really lovely looking two year old Shirocco gelding who will probably turn up in the sales at some stage, a nice Court Cave colt (was due to be Mount Nelson but we missed his last cover by one day) and she's now back in foal to Shirocco.
