I did wonder what that odd looking object behind the bar was, didn't realise it was your credentials Pete, look they could do with a bit of a steam clean and pressing.
Pint of champagne in a straight glass please, hold the cherry and umbrella.
No firemen at mine. Why do you think Lisa's not on at lunchtimes anymore??? Cos she's busy climbing up and down that fireman's ladder that's why!!!! not going to mention his helmet
About midweek Pete! That was a drummin! Just heard we have tickets to see Kate Bush.... Tad /bit/ alot/ more excited about that than City winning the Premiership! Sorree.....x
Well start of the flat season - goodo . Lincolnshire handicap this afternoon , undecided if I will wager or not , decisions , decisions ! Then bit more icing on the gateaux , Aintree , Thursday , Friday & Saturday which of course culminates with The Grand National on Saturday ! So all looking good !
I've heard that the boy wonder, Oisin's mother has come over from Ireland to see him ride today; a tip in itself methinks. As for the National; my brain is scrambled from trying to work out what is the most problematic race I've ever come across this year.
PHO do prefer jump game , but I do like the good class flat races ! TEGAN that is interesting , as you say maybe a HINT for her to come over , must be so proud of him. Re G.N ,I heard once from some pundit that winners usually wear green/yellow , true or not I don"t know . Think it is a bit of a stick in pin job, for me anyway , mind I am not really keen on the race seems to take a lot out of the horses !
National used to be the easist race in the year to find the winner of. Alas compression of the handicap etc has made it impossible. Am looking closely at the bloodlines this year as need to fathom this new National out. Still very few horses that can stay extreme distances and there are fewer Old Vics running. Milan is the 'new' stallion, also a Saddlers Wells but may not have the stamina input. Can study horse pedigrees for hours; it even got me interested in flat racing.
The Town will be packed next week with all the visitors here in Liverpool for the National I like to go over and watch all the "Ladydee's" and their posh hats trying to walk through Town on their way to Aintree you do see some sight's Can we do a national Sweep Pete and the winner can buy the drinks mines a Brandy & Coke if anyone ask's. Football may be looking good for LFC so fingers crossed there according to "armchair manager" who lives in my house.
Well, well , well Ocean Tempest eh !, 33 to 1 damn good price. would not have thought of it though, there you go ! :-( :-( England lost by 3 measly runs , so now out of World championships, not right IMO. Norwich 3-0 Swansea , they was robbed , As you might guess he is feeling blue and lacklustre. so having to have one of his real ales ,which he so enjoys We will be having a nice curry later , perhaps that will take some of the pain away ?? Ce la vie !!!
Great minds think alike Nonu I did a chicken curry for dinner this evening just finished a few minutes ago,now feet up and glass of I may wander down to the Bar later for last orders if I can keep my eyes open,I've been down to the beach with Poppy and I think all that fresh air has done me in for the night.If you pop in have one for me please its a large one if you don't mind
Must be a Saturday night favourite Ana Nonu Yes Poppy certainly can pull at the heart strings and had really made herself at home such a pity we had to loose the other little chap just to find her (does that make sense) ? think I may have had a wee bit too much my words don't look right. must remember to put the clocks right before we close the bar or else we will be opening late to-morrow and that will never do.
