No joke but when Mum passed we got home and as I left broken hearted , there was a bag that flew up in the air on my way out of the front door . Similar to the end scene of American Beauty .
Da Bookie .
Just when I was about to take him on and try to fill up all the places and hopefully bet the winner all the Golf got cancelled , you really couldn't make it up and by the time the Golfers get back on the course will they still have the same form ?
Just like every sports fan around the world all I need is one vote to get the ball game back on the TV screens :

The Chief put his hand up , the vote was 10-8 but Nurse Rached ruled it was 9-9 .

I miss the wonderful word of sports on the TV set , Internet and radio , where did it go ?
Best stock up on the toilet rolls folks and the hand sanitiser and soap because if it'd the day we die we will be clean , correct ? Or will we just die of ignorance ?

Ps I never stocked up on anything , always from a young age lifted one or two more items because I never knew where the next penny was coming from !
it looks like I've just completed yet another all nighter . It was totally unintentional but when the cat's away the mouse must play and there is no live sport to be found anywhere really so here is the Durex Handicap Horse Race from the 3.30 at Newmarket with commentary from Derek and Clive

How long can I make it up ? Who knows lol !

Old Henry .

Old Henry or as we say here in Scotland 'Auld' Henry , what a character he was , lived to maybe 82 years old . In George Cairney's Bookmakers back in the old days I knew him as 'Henry The Hat' he always ore a hat , I wish you could've met him , alway's seemed to bet winners at the horses & greyhounds when everyone was betting losers , how do you do it Henry I asked , I pick up the late night newspapers and go for the early morning newspapers and study all the racing form , top trainers , jockey's , the whole lot . Auld Henry would ask me to cut his grass , decorating jobs etc one day he asked me to paint his place , Egyptian Gold colour paint son , here's £40 , I walked a far walk to B&Q , bought the paint , went to see Auld Henry and asked when do you want the job to start ? Oh ,

I've tried to explain things , maybe some read as hard to believe ? Understandable .

Old Harry , when tanked up with the drink used to sing this song in The Duntiglennan Bar .

Old Harry sung it perfect , word for word but just like all the good ones , he's long gone .
