Nice to meet you again at Cheltenham. Hope you had more success finding winners than me, though that isn't setting the bar very high.
Thanks Peter
My best winner of the week was Aux Ptits Soins, which Chris tipped in the Centaur that morning.
I wasn't on the 40/1 Pricewise tip. I didn't back the 40/1 place shot I was given.
But it was fun week none the less.
Hmmmm....must have been at the bar while he was tipping that. I did however follow his advice to back Sam Winner in the God Cup. As you know, it was first....to pull up.
Good week nevertheless.
I'll try and make it next year, really couldn't this year as all my wonga is tied up in a pretty sizeable General Election book right now.
Am on Don Poli @ 10s and Vautour @6s for the Gold Cup next year now - think I ended up down about a fiver this year, picked Coneygree out and then put an entire pound on it as it wasn't in those racing club notes or tipped up by Raceclear so I wasn't too sure ;p
Neither the New One or Jezki placing got me off to a bad start...
Well I'll be there next year, looking for the grand I dropped this year.
Vautour was the most impressive winner of the week. Your 6/1 looks value.
The notes were necessarily brief. The consensus on the panel (and in the audience) was that they should have sent Coneygree to the RSA. In fairness, we were all working on the basis that the ground would dry out through the week. I was going to lay the horse, until I saw the weather forecast, when I shifted it on to my short list. In the end I went for Djakadam. Kind of sums up my week.
AP suggested after the Champion Hurdle that if he hadn't taken on Faugheen he would have finished second. Even The Champ can ride a bad race, and I guess that was one.
Still cheered him home on Uxizandre. He owes nobody.
Champagne Fever was my main bet for the week, being a non runner it was just about my best result too! I had Next Sensation in the last but not for much stake, done my bollocks this year I am sad to say.
Ah, The Getting Out Stakes....the best winner you can back!
I remember backing Pigeon Island in that one a few years back. It meant I could afford fish and chips on the way back home. Luxury!
I was going to back Champagne Fever too. I heard it just got a minor knock in its box. Would surely have won a very below average Champion Chase.
Got bitten on the lip by another horse in the box apparently.

It'd have won.
Dodging Bullets has to have been the worst winner since New Mill.
Tandem skydiving is open to pretty much anyone as long as you are aged 16+ and weigh less than 16 stone. Our oldest skydiver to date is 93! Take a look at our full list of restrictions.
Risk two people's lives on one EU quality marked parachute? It should be a British Parachute, built on British Values and if the Bangladeshi stitching goes it will be a British disaster!
We should all be behind Al Murray to convince the good people of South Thanet that a British future is the best future.
I think Michael Portillo has become my favourite politician. I always liked his programmes on art and the impressionists and even his train journeys but this broadside on Mrs Gove is as good as he gets. What a piece of work she is and what a great couple they must make
Portillo was great there, he really stood up for manners and decency over spin and tat. Massive fan of his anyway, esp the railway series.. I even have a bradshaws!
He destroyed Vine and the Daily Mail. Well done Mr Portillo, a fine Scottish chap.
Interesting comparison with Blair's 1997 pledges too (concrete, measurable, vs vacuous waffle)- they really do appear to think they can just wing this.....

Good on Al Murray, Doing to Farage what Chris Morris did to Paxo.

Much as Al Murray is doing a damn fine job for democracy, there is no-one on this planet (with the possible exception of his fine Scottish collaborator Mr Iannucci) who will ever do a better job for democracy than Chris Morris. Mr Murray does not come close.
You don't, you misunderstand - the test is designed to catch it early in case you do have it. I quote it as an example of the NHS working.
Is it uniquely a glorious NHS achievement or are they going to start testing for bowel cancer in other countries with different and by definition inferior health systems too?

People on lifetime disability awards because of brain damage,caused by road accidents have been called up for ATOS assessments to establish whether they are fit for work.Many of them have appointees who have to gather evidence to support their claim, this is a very stressful and time-consuming process.The claimants will never get better but they still have to endure this pantomime designed by Duncan Smith.This never happened in all the years of a Labour government.
You do realise that the work capability tests, and the appointment of ATOS to carry them out was done under the labour government? You do, dont you? Dont you??

1) WCA was setup under labour 2) Labour appointed ATOS 3) brain damaged people with no chance of recovery were called up to ATOS assesments prior to the coalition.

4) I thought ATOS had now been given the heave ho by the government?
Actually it couldnt be given the heave ho. In the wonderful world of labour contracts it had an exclusivity. If the government removed the contract it would be taken to the cleaners. It was an agreed departure.
