Albannach was a client until recently. They dropped an Auchentoshan 1966 and the bottle cracked but didn't break. They couldn't sell it in case there was a tiny shard of glass in it somewhere so we drunk it ourselves. I have to say it was incredible and strangely didn't really taste like a whiskey.

I'm slightly horrified that nobody has yet mentioned my favourite and it's my wine of choice in every Christmas mixed case. GIGONDAS ! It's fantastic stuff and fits your requirements as a full bodied French red perfectly. It really is very very hard to beat and seems to go down very well at this...

They tell me it was 'Weight variation'. Hard to believe he'd be >1kg heavier unless he was given his kennel-mate's breakfast as well as his own by mistake, so I assume he must be down by >1kg. Fretting ? Its amazing how much they can lose by fretting. When we went to Romford, the trainer...

In Uruguay, unlike most of South America they pronounce a Y as a J. It's also a hard T on the end. The rhyme with courgette is therefore correct.

Sent you a PM Mr Sarnies...

Yeah, it costs £50 to choose which race you want but I couldn't afford the other £50 for trap 1 ! Seriously, we had a go at the RM again as he's being a prick. There's a shortage of dogs which seems to be the main problem. He said that Issy has to stay in A6 even though he admits she just can't...

Blimey. Benny has been absolutely thrown a race ! Trap 6, first race on the card (suits him as he's a fretter), downgraded, a dog that runs middle in trap 5, his last time is better than anything else has produced in yonks. Crikey, he's got one hell of a chance of winning this one.

I'm surprised nobody fancies the Japanese dog. It has solid claims. I've now decided T6 will win. Maybe ! On the latest line of form he'll be 12 lengths in front of Lara with half a lap to go, but is also says 'Ran On Well' about T6 when over this distance last week. Dream run around the outside...

Wow, isn't it funny how you dig into form and it produces more and more.... Just checked out the Irish form of the Nottingham dog Gus was talking about and its actually really decent. A bit like T6 it just hasn't produced it over here yet. It was 4/6f to beat Pearles Orchid who has aquitted...

Ha! No I had 'The Boy With The Arab Strap' going around my head meaning I couldn't sleep so I got up at 3.30.

Gus, I think he's mainly coming down to keep Salacres Polizzi company who runs against Droopys Comedian earlier on the card. Just looked into T6 form further and he's run a couple of races in England which I didn't realise. Fortunately it's nowhere near what he produced in Ireland but he's still...

For what it's worth, this is what I think of the race. Young Tokyo will probably start favourite as to be honest it's a class act and knows Romford inside out. The Irish import Spot The Hawk seems to have a lot about him at first glance, and with only Lara to clear to the first bend he ought to...

Its great news she's in this. (Although it would have been nice to see you at Crayford on Saturday instead). It's fantastic to go open racing at another track. It takes the excitement to another level. In football terms, it's an away leg in the Champions League. Good luck.

Another brilliant episode yesterday. Great visual gag at the funeral. Shaping up into the best series yet.

eh? At Crayford, or Hove Saturday night ?

Well anyone who saw the Palestinian Chicken Restaurant episode last night will assure you that it's as funny as ever. Pretty, pretty funny.

No, we'll never ever go to Oxford with him. Crayford 540m should be good though and he ran the track well last time. Minnies Merc will be in the marathon for sure. Billy and Merc are both out on Saturday night at Hove. Now for me to think some sanity has returned to the racing office all I want...

Looks like the racing office are finally sorting themselves out. A1 races are back and so are graded 695 races. Woop! Lara is in S2 on Saturday.

Hey, come and join us at Crayford next Saturday night. There's an 874m Open. 10 bends! She'll love it

The worst example of this I can remember was when someone looked around the bottom of Hove Street (right next to what is now The Ginger Pig). They couldn't help but notice that the entire street and most of the surroundings are inhabited by old, retired Jewish people and then for some reason...
