Oh he loves Elvis, he's got one of those white tassled suits with a cape, wears it with his blue suede shoes. One of the best renditions of Suspicious Minds I've ever heard was by dum dum in Rugby Tavern in a Sunday afternoon.

One of my dads horses is racing today at Chester.

i cant believe this is the first time you thought to mention that your dad has race horses i expect tips on a regular basis now starting with tomorrow if you dont mind thanks

Don't put black polish on brown shoes.

thats up there with dont eat yellow snow buts its not helping me win money is it. Does he own these or is he a trainer.

We only own retired horses now and the training was always done by a team. When I say 'one of his horses' I was referring to one that he has bred. It didn't end up racing because of the going - We like to look after our horses and they'd never race in today's conditions.

Flat horses don't get hurt on soft ground, generally.

No, you're right - they don't.

Because of the weather, the soft ground started to become heavy in patches. We don't like to race in it and neither did the owners of the other several horses that pulled out.

My other half likes a flutter on the gee gees never wins like he always goes for double barrel names or follows a certain trainer and wen he doesn't have a bet they win and wen he does have a bet they lose

Mugs game.

The horse that's first over the line is a winner, too.

Fair enough

first across the line isnt it and still no tips and i think its about time for a picture change edith

Edith's tip of the day;

Help others.

I’ll just give you a plethora of reasons why this is a MUST;

[list1. Helping people has a ripple effect. If you help someone they will feel more obliged to help someone else, and so on. Pay it forward.
2. You grow by giving and helping others. It can change you in ways you never expected.
3. Your relationship with that person will become stronger.
4. It’s the most fulfilling thing you can do on this planet. It not only feels amazing physically, you also feel like a good person
5. You might be able to call in a favour later when you need some help.
6. Karma (if you believe in it).
7. Because there are more people in this world than just you.[/list
