General / Off-Topic The Grand National
- Thread starter Pyrotiger
- Start date
Chris Eubank knocks Michael Watson into next week and they ban amateur boxing rings at travelling fairs (there went my supplemented pocket money as a teenager). Horses drop like flies at the grand national and it's still legal. Ahh well at least Tesco can sell the meat.
Right so is there horse racing at travelling fairs? No. Has there ever been? I dunno. So it's a pretty bad comparison, right? Unless you are calling to ban horse racing from travelling fairs, in which case I agree.
If you're calling for a restoration of boxing at travelling fairs, then I think you're on the cider

Not horse racing but there is a horse auction at Bridgwater fair. BTW I'm not calling for anything I'm just replying for the sake of it. I was going to use an Ecstasy death but thought twice about it. Didn't want to upset the post 84ers. We all know how tearful they get if they hear something they don't like. Puppy anyone?
Funny as I just mentioned in abother post that I used to work as manager for Corals, in Rigate Surrey and the surrounding areas, so yeah there was a bit of money floating about hell even to tie in with the boxing theme I used to have Alan Minter pop in from time to time, shame what drink does to a man.
My point being that at the time my girlfiend who also worked as a manager used to ride out horses for a local trainer and if it wasnt for a fall would have gone on to be a jockey, also used to have a odd trainer quite a few stable hands coming into the bookies and belive me if a horse does not want to do somthing it wont do it.
Have you ever seen a horse race where at he start the horse wil not move, or when they do fall they just get back up and keep on going this might be the herd mentality of the horse but they run and jump because they want to not becuse the chap or lass on their back is forceing them to.
The Grand National was the only race I ever placed a bet on, lol there is only one winner in the betting game and thats not the punter.
Side note to your bit about Ectasy, I took far too much of that stuff during the 90's but then it got a wee bit dodgey to say the least but by then I was hanging up me white suit and becoming an adult....
Still listen to Sister Bliss and John Digweeds weekly shows on Mix cloud tho, cant take the raver out of this old fart just yet.Ohh and lets finsh with a bit of music form Grand National

I'm not sure if many over the age of 84 are really into e; more e by gum lad. Which is strange as I thought you placed an e on your tongue not on your gum.
I'll have some boxer dog puppy.
I'll bet you'll shove a few quid on the national, so quit being a miserable rambling squit and share the knowledge, eh?

Agreed. Horses generally quite like the running thing. The National is fun; even sticking 50p on it is a good laugh.
Aye they do that, have to say I really dont miss the settling of the bets on national day, I left about a year after it all changed and now the tills do it all, not that ive been in a bookies since 05...which is odd as now I live in Sweden theres one in my local Ica, (food market) but here its trotting which I dont really like tbh. lol just thought near where my farther in law lives there is a chap who trains horses for it....
Bless the wings
the group I lead in another game is called The wingnuts, placed 3rd at £5 each way so £55 back £40 up after my other bet went down. Still I nice little result lovely jubbely

I thought this thread was going to be about a late '80s Buick.
