Nice one , just shy of getting my money back. They don’t do double the odds for one winner now which is crap 

Who do you bet with? I know Betfred still offer double odds on one winner on Lucky 15's.

But you're right, there isn't much transparency on it.

Does your daughter have a hit out on her? She gonna get got!

Not sure of the motive behind the two random teenagers turning up at my daughter's school. - Nor the motive behind your stupid post either!

I appreciate the suggestions for laws and certain ages buying knives etc.

Nothing stopping these little swines grabbing one out of their kitchen drawer at home though! So yes, if caught with one, harsh punishments should be handed out.

My daughter's school had 2 teenagers (females) turn up on the school grounds at the end of last term - both carrying knives! Thankfully, the police arrived before they could gain entry into the school.

It's really getting out of hand!

What’s up with just having a scrap. I detest people that carry knives and have no sympathy for them whatever their circumstances. There’s other weapons that could be used over a knife. 

They need a weapon or they're **** all.

A bit like needing to be surrounded by 5 or 6 people going into a fight.

Nothing more than cowardly pieces of shit that couldn't fight their way out of a paper bag.

Sadly it was only this year.....26th February 2023. Adecent innings though, he was 88

So it was! Not sure why I thought it was a few years ago. A very good innings like you say.

I remember another race horse owner who was a Villa fan that sadly passed away in the mid 00's was Jean Broadhurst who owned Buena Vista.

Fatal stabbing of a 15 year old boy (apparently by similar age kids, who have been arrested) in Horsforth, Leeds this afternoon. A few minutes' walk away from my granddaughters' primary school. 

I mentioned this in the TTPYO thread and I'll say it again, Most youngsters nowadays seem to be little bastards than compared to that of say 10/15 years ago.. again, only talking from what I've witnessed and experienced.

Before anyone wants to respond with some bullshit about past generations, biased and warped memories or being perfect ourselves, they might want to take a look at the current reality of these situations and whats actually going on outside their bubble.

Yes, we might have all had 'moments' to degree when we were younger, but we didn't go round sticking knives in teachers - or each other for that matter!.

Didn't know he had passed. I remember him shouting "up the Villa" after one of Best mate's victories at Cheltenham. 

Yeah, few years ago now sadly. HEITS x

Yeah mate every Saturday best bet of the day from whoever wants to take part. Usually 5 of us in here .

Sounds good to me.

I'm thinking either a Canadian or Lucky 31 to kick it off with.

Best Mate actually ran in Villa colours if I remember correctly?

Yep, that's the one.

He had quite a few horses, the other notable ones were Edredon Bleu and Impek.

Yeah nothing of interest today. Remember to put up an horse on Saturday if you want to of course 

Are we kicking it off this weekend Ruge?  I take it that it's a Saturday thing between us all who have opted in.

But yeah, I'll look for a decent one for our "Winning post bet" for sure mate. 

Decided against Warwick today and going to keep the powder dry until the Cheltenham November Meeting.

Will probably give Aintree and Wincanton a miss on Saturday too (unless there is something really decent that jumps out the card at me). I'd sooner have bigger pot to play with at the Cheltenham November meeting next week!

Hope they find and ban all those idiots chanting mockingly about Hillsborough

It's a shame that a small pack of idiots need to ruin it for the rest. 

They, amongst over groups of fans that like to mock the Munich air disaster, Hillsborough, Ibrox stairway 13. Even the wee late Sunderland fan Bradley Lowery.

These ignorant bastards need to be dealt with in a very unsavoury manner. Absolute oxygen thieves.

Just started the Jill Dando doc on Netflix. The old Bill never had a scooby from the beginning. "I know let's arrest the local weirdo ex skateboarder that used to call himself Steve Austin," honestly, you couldn't make it up.

Didn't she know "too much" regarding Savile and paedophile rings connected to the BBC etc. on the verge of starting to expose it all when she was suddenly murdered?

Its kind of weird to hear Butlins talked about like this, I finished working there in the mid 90s and it was, for guests at least, a tame place. We had gay week

Don't I feel like a loser. I went on an adults only 80s Butlins weekend, and I never even got tossed off.  

You should have gone during the gay week @Xela you would have been spoilt for choice..

Kentford Mallard 12.50 Hereford FELL
Do You Think        2.20 Hereford 2ND
Jaminska               2.50 Hereford  N/R
Blade Runner        3.07 Plump  WIN 11/2

Just about gets the money back. Will use it on another 50p L-15 tomorrow at Warwick.

I see Henrietta Knight is making a come back to training after an 11 year absense.

Hopefully she is granted her new licence before January and we see her back at the winners enclosure by Cheltenham Festival come March.

Many of us will know that she is most famous for being the trainer of 'Best Mate' who won 3 Cheltenham Gold Cups in a row - owned by the late great Jim Lewis who was an avid Villa fan himself.

That 3.07 race **** me that’s one hell of a tight race . Loads with great chances. 

You're telling me. I've done the mistake of changing the horse.

I had Tip Top Mountain originally, and changed it to Blade Runner. Hopefully it doesn't come to bite me on the arse.

Kentford Mallard 12.50 Hereford
Do You Think        2.20 Hereford
Jaminska               2.50 Hereford

50p Win Lucky 15 today for a bit of interest!

Anyone up for a bit of fun on a Saturday racing? Each one of us pick our bet of the day, could be your banker or a horse you think is overpriced etc etc then we use it in a patent lucky 15 or lucky 31 depending how many of us put up. Got to be careful obviously because bookies can get arsy with groups of people putting up same accas but should be ok.

Great idea Ruge, I'm in mate.

Oh he still is, but you cannot disagree the goals he has conceded have been a bit sloppy.
