[Swansman]

I thought at first that Dwayne Johnson had died on his latest film

When I saw the headline I thought it was that rock thingie on or around Gibraltar that had finally falllen into the sea

That'll happen when the rock apes leave, similar to the ravens at the Tower of London....

As you seriously saying you never heard of Desert Orchid

Well I've heard of Desert Orchid! I've never heard of Rock of Gibraltar though, other than as a big lump of rock on the tip of Spain.

As @Swansman alluded to, it is the horse that destroyed Manchester United by, in a roundabout way, ushering in the era of the Glazers. Ask any (proper) Man U fan if you can find one, and they'd have happily seen that horse in the glue factory before Fergie ever got his mits on it.

Probably mutual but we'll never find out

Someone can give you a horse but not it's spunk.

He only wanted a share of its spunk, to be fair.

Mainly Desert Orchid (death of) is an NSC meme of yesteryear. Don't unduly beat yourself up over it, you would have absolutely no way of knowing, same as all but a select few oldies on here.

In vaguely-related matters, my millionaire ex-father-in-law once booked Desert Orchid to cut the ribbon at opening of the latest branch in his franchise. Desert Orchid's appearance fee for the event remains unrecorded

His daughter sounds like a keeper

That horse brought happiness to millions. It's a disgrace what NSC has become.

I'm struggling to work out whether you upset because many enjoyed a punt on the RofG or that millions were happy with what he did to Utd?

 

[Questions]

Q: Who rode the the 1983 Derby winner ?

A: Lester Pigotts cell mate.

[B-right-on]

I thought Putin had either nuked that bit of rock off Spain or that we'd finally given it back.

I've heard it mentioned here or somewhere but I know nothing about horses and even less so about English celebrity-horses which I suppose this is.

Know nothing about horses?

Absolute garbage. I’ve seen your propaganda video where you seem to know EVERYTHING about horses (and their milk). Scoundrel!
