I liked Paris. We walked around a lot, rather than the Metro. We also avoided going in the Museums, mostly because of the queues! We stayed in the St Germain district, which I would really recommend. Great location, being within walking distance of most central attractions, and quite a nice vibe...
For me it has to be La Galleria in Shoreham. The last two times I have been there I have had food poisoning, I presume due to dodgy seafood. A mate of mine was with us once and he ordered the deep fried mozzarella as a starter. It was served to him frozen in the middle, so he returned it. They...
Also, the most superior flavour Wheat Crunchies was always Worcester Sauce. However, I heard a HORRIBLE rumour the other day that they are no longer making them. What the...!?!??!
I am smashing a bag of Squares now with my sarnie. A lunch of Kings. I struggle to understand how they are losing to Frazzles, although it maybe cos Squares are almost a 'health food'? (97 calories a pack!)
I am afraid I did not. I feel like I let myself down!
Nevermind, onwards and upwards today. These are my fancies (hopefully it will be a good day for the favs!!):
2.30 Cap ORushes
3.05 Dawn Approach
3.40 Toormore
4.50 Great Timing
Also, another shorty, but cannot see Voice of a Leader being...
It is a tough days racing looking at those big fields... and now we have rain to add into the equation too!
My fancies are:
1.55 Nabucco
2.30 Reroute
3.05 Producer or Garswood??? (Help!!)
3.40 Harris Tweed or Guarantee??? (again, help!!!)
4.15 Muir Lodge
4.50 Desert Revolution
A small each way...
Absolutely this. The BEST music is normally the most simple. The new DP track makes me want to start DJing all over again (although modern technology now means I would not have a clue what I was doing - the kinds nowadays do it ALL off a laptop!! [<<< whole new debate right there...!!!])
Tony Blooms has brought another horse I see...
Sacred Square - runs today for the first time in a "hot" looking maiden race at Newmarket (5.15). Got Richard Hughes on board too, so I would have thought they must think it has a chance, but there appear to be some highly thought of nags in the...
This sounds incredible, I wish I was old enough to have been there (I was not even 4 in April 1983). I agree that the loss of terraces has resulted in the atmos at games changing massively. It will clearly never be replicated in a seated environment. I heard recently about the re-introduction of...
Agree with most others here that Bridders, Bridge and PIG are all class and have performed consistently all season. Without anyone of these three I think we would be out of the playoff picture IMO. Therefore should make it a joint award!! Having said all that I just voted Bridders...!!!
Brighton manager Guy Poyet on managing Chelsea in the future:
"That is my aim, everyone knows and I don't hide it. I want to go to the highest level and if it is in the Premier League with Chelsea then fantastic, if it is with someone else, then we shall see.
On the Blues' FA Cup win over...
Employing Rafa was always never goping to work, any fool could see that (aside from Roman it would seem)... I have no sympathy for Rafa - he knew what he was getting himself into, and the CFC fans hatred of the "fat spanish waiter" is very well documented. He should have not been offered the...
Football wise, John Terry and Ashley Cole are both England legends. Ok so they have their personal life issues, but the vast majority of this is only an issue because of who they are, and the media jumps all over it creating a huge fuss over what in reality are very minor misdemeanours (the...
No its not really bollocks. I agree that local councils have always been difficult when it comes to granting planning permission, as Councillors make the controversial decisions, and they want to win votes and stay elected, and as such they will decide applications broadly in line with what...
What I said was that the lack of housebuilding has contributed to the lack of growth. I appreciare that it is not the cause. But, if the Coalition had not bowed to the pressure of middle England in making it so difficult to develop, in a time when they should of been encouraging those who want...
The localism agenda that the coalition has introduced has crippled housebuilding more than the economic downturn. "Localism" has resulted in Councils not granting planning permissions for new housing anywhere near the level needed (due to increased support for NIMBY's). It is well documented...
This is all true. And I appreciated it was a joke. But I am pretty sure this wasn't the only thing he said or did that was anti-English - but I am probably wrong, as the old memory has been letting me down of late! Anyway, as I said, I have now warmed to his personality a little, and in the end...
