Good moaning all................

Buhgus Street Singapore ......... pavement resturant, my first Tiger beer served by a 'himshe', I later found out that you can buy a popular beer made in Leicester at the Tiger Brewery called Tiger Ale, after a 'Tank' full you feel like you have been mauled by a Tiger sick

Not a Bard like Shakespeare but been Bard from a few ale houses in my time biggrin devilish

Re: Re:

Evening all

Summer continues for the time being and I even forsook a jerkin for my walk to the supermarket this morning.

It's excellent weather to greet the start of the cricket season. I can remember recent years going to the first game at Lord's (which then now play in the Middle East) and watching from inside the pavilion with the heating still on.

I see they were considering having to water Aintree ahead of the Grand National. There was no trouble in that area on the couple of occasions I went (the days of Red Rum) and things were much more informal then and great fun. The fact that I came out ahead both times may, of course, have coloured my memory.

Anyone got a tip for me if I go to the Betting Shop tomorrow? I just go on the basis of a name that appeals to me. The Guardian actually prints a coupon list of the runners so that you can run your office lottery. Which, in a way is strange because when I first starting reading it, racing wasn't included - something to do with their origins.

I can remember when living in Surrey and taking the train to the City that there was a London Newspaper strike and, with the then Manchester Guardian, I was the only one with a paper. A few other passengers asked if they could have a look and then were frustrated because all they wanted was the racing column to check on the day's starters.

As for me now, I just hope all the horses get through the ordeal without injury or, at the worst, having to be put down.

Have a good weekend, fellow chrunchers.

Re: Re:

Just heard some sad news from a old school mate "Gilly" Potter
He visited his brother back in Edenbridge and reports back that the Local flea pit has been demolished. No more Negresco It stopped being a cinema some time ago changed into Vyes a Kent Supermarket .Later I think Weight and Cheverton local Auntie Teeks company occupied the premises.
I had a news paper box selling Evening Standard and Evening News that stood at the bottom of the steps as you went up to the doorway. All on trust. the customers put the two or three pence in a slot at the top of the box and took their paper .Had to collect the papers from the station each night I had a delivery round from Marlpit hill to Marsh green. I suppose I missed my way somewhere I could have turned into Rupert Murdock Or WH Smith
I did in fact work in the morning for WH Smith Life is full of taking the wrong fork in the road
££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££
who was WH SMIFF?

In 1792, Henry Walton Smith and his wife Anna established the business as a news vendor in Little Grosvenor Street, London. After their deaths, the business — valued in 1812 at £1,280 — was taken over by their youngest son William Henry Smith, and in 1846 the firm became W H Smith
So Now You Know
£££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££


I have no ideas for tomorrows race My Fatherinlaw used to live near Sir Robert Ogdon and used to help out with his stud which horse went with which mare and so on . Dad in law used to do business with Ogden and the mutual interest in horses emerged .
I dont think Sir Robert has a horse in the National this year he had two in the Topham handicap chase today they came in.........
somewhere way back there. the last horse of merit that Ogden entered was Vor Por Usted he still owns it but its not running .
So "I aint got a horse" Unlike Prince Monolulu of days gone by
whos cry of "I gotta Horse" was heard at race courses just after the war you paid him for a sealed tip.

**********************


Riding the favourite at the Aintree meeting a jockey is well ahead of the rest of the field.

Suddenly his mount is hit by a turkey. He manages to keep control of his horse and pulls back into the lead, only to be struck by a dozen mince pies and box of Christmas crackers as he jumps over the last fence.

He recovers form this and manages to return to the front of the field, but, in the final furlong, he’s struck on the head by a bottle of port and a Christmas pudding. Unfortunately he had no time to recover and only manages to finish in second place.

Furious, the jockey complains to the racecourse stewards that he has been seriously hampered.
