Put in an Arkle-esque performance in my exam interview yesterday. Going to reward myself with the nice "going to Manooth to study for the day" aka hit the cinema in town-watch 2 maybe 3 films, gorge on delicios munch (maybe Indian as never allowed it!) and beers before indulging some potting maybe JPs six handed game. Dreamy line up for the next 24 hours.

Happy birthday Schalke, noisy lot. Best support at OT, although the hardcore kept on spitting and throwing coins at us. Fucking Germans, fucking Nazi's man, nothing changes.

I don't get it. Arkle was a racehorse, do you mean you ran 3 miles and jumped over many things to get there or you beat your nearest rival while carrying significantly more weight or possibly do you mean you exam was about Cheltenham Gold Cup winners.

it was a yes or no exam format so he wrote 'neigh' to every question

so are you now fully licenced to warp the minds of impressionable youngsters?

[Flushdraw]

Hey folks need a few opinions on this, just trying to gauge what size photo I should use for the blogs and also gonna try and watermark them as well. If you's could let me know either 1 or 2 preference please be appreciated. For most of the live updates I have done so far I have used 640 x 480 but was thinking maybe I should use a different size??? I personally like the the first one.

640 x 480



800 x 600

1 - is best for all standard updates. The smaller pic is better and doesn't hog download/buffering for those of us on a shit connection

2 - for hot chicks

[dannydiamond]

Nice.

Ha! No, still have written exams unfortunately (get given the questions). Official destructive warpage granted in June.

Lloyds results out and an interesting note on their Irish operation - Bank of Scotland (Ireland). These lads have no interest in 'extend and pretend' as does the Irish government through NAMA and the covered institutions here. Gives an interesting insight into how bad things really are and how much further we have to go.

The impairment charge of £1,441 million in Q1 2011 was significantly higher than in Q1 2010 due to increased impairment charges in non-core portfolios in Ireland and Australasia. During the past three months, a further approximately 7 per cent of the £27.6 billion Irish book has become impaired, resulting in approximately 60 per cent of the portfolio now being impaired. We have further increased the level of provisions against the portfolio given the further deterioration in the Irish economy and allowing for further potential falls in commercial real estate prices in Ireland of approximately 10 per cent. Provisions as a percentage of impaired Irish loans were 56 per cent at the end of March 2011 (Q4 2010: 54 per cent).

tldr; we're nowhere near the fabled 'bottom'

Re: blog images

640*480 is best for those of us scrolling past. Good for load times too.

I knew I was better than the bot..

[MrsFlushdraw]

Welcome MrsDP. Glad to see you finally made the jump! Keep DP in line now

It is good to get some more wimmin here as they are lacking surely. Just avoid the BBV between the hours of 2am and 7am and you will be grand

[tylerdurden94]

The first one Danny. 640 x 480 is fine.
i imagien you are going to jsut set this in camera for ease (I think you should). When i did updates shooting full size was a pain.

I'd set the camera to 640 x 480, and maybe flick it over to full size for large shots like the whole room, to keep detail or for winners photos as they might get re-used officially outside the update thread

I like shooting it as large as possible its not too much trouble getting them converted to a smaller size for uploading and what not.

Nice.

Just Kempes so far for me today at Punch. Hard to give the card much attention when there's a Chester meeting the same day. Richard Fahey's filly looks like a max bet in the opener from a premium draw. Overturn could take some catching in the Chester Cup too.

I put a tenner double on the 2 in Chester........ first ones good just need Overturn to do a number now!!!!

Fair play to Hanagan, he's prob going to get a ban for his efforts. Thought it was a goner when she completely missed the brake

dirar have a chance?? looks a decent price @ 14s.

obv not

great performance from overturn, great ride.

WP Sitch. I is feeling a wee bit sick for having ATR on the tv and waiting for them to put up the betting while they load on C4. Grrrrrr!

I like the looks of the Falasteen in the next one in Chester. Any thoughts?

You can't go too far wrong backing the the low draws at Chester especially at 5 furlong, tough enough handicap mark though but has a chance. Price looks about right to me.

Anyone watching the Chester race able to give me cliffs once it's over please? FU C4 for not showing it!

Don't have RUK either but going by in running prices he was always over 10/1 throughout so prob never challenged.

National Hunt fans from the country tend to be Nazis, Sitch.

Strolling around in their tweeds and peaked caps with a piece of wood between their teeth, boasting about how the slow old NH nags return year after year to clamber ungainly over another obstacle in an egg and spoon race.

Meanwhile the rest of racing world concentrates on the Derby and Oaks trials and various Group races at Chester, and looks forward to The Run for the Roses on Saturday night.

Don't get me wrong, I like Jumps racing more than almost every other sport, but Flat racing is the nuts.

[ArmaniJeans]

New Approach, its a bit before your time I think Robert Sangsters book Horsetrader
[ame]http://www.amazon.co.uk/Horsetrader-Robert-Sangster-Sport-Kings/dp/0006381057[/ame] is something you'd enjoy.

Explains the origins of the whole Coolmore v Dubai fight, the fight for the Northern Dancer bloodline, the battle of the sales rings in the 80s where 5M plus was the going rate for a blue bred. A great read.

Don't worry, there's 10 billion barrels of oil not far for them there. We'll be grand once they find it.
