Remember i told of my Sky subs doubling as I was out of contract + they wanted a £10 admin charge for setting up a new contract, well I cancelled. I've now found out why they are doing this. They are phasing out digital tv thru a dish and trying to switch everyone to streaming. You've been warned !

Someone was playing silly buggers in the bbc rugby results page yesterday and I got caught by it. They had the Perpignan game 20-20 with 4 trys apiece, exactly what Newport didn't want. It's changed this morning to 2 trys apiece with 2 pens and 2 conversions( one a penalty try), Bastards!

a reminder that there's an American film set in a dystopic future where a fascist U.S. government deploys unidentifiable goons to snatch people from the street for detention, and it's called ICE, and it was made in 1969.

Evening all, plenty of replies today thank you, which resulting in a 4-0 loss. Things were kicked off by @ruatrindade.bsky.social with #4 Ascot 1955. Next with a good guess was @nigel321.bsky.social with #2 Punchestown (no Date). @oldnosey.bsky.social came up trumps with # Beverley 1970. (1/2)
Afternoon all, with all the shenanigans happening over on the other side, maybe we'll get to see a few more using their accounts over here. Today we have 1 closed and 3 current of which 1 is Irish. Answers at 6.30pm, all engagement is much appreciated, thank you enjoy.

This Cobden/ McManus link up shows clearly the fall off of the Nicholls stable, there's no way you would have left that job 10/15 years ago. The McManus job was always a good one but it's probably a lot better now than it was when McCoy had it. Cobden is probably wishing this season away.

That boy Kevin Murphy gave the C. Brynes horse a terrific ride yesterday. I know its a Byrnes horse + it probably had a stone or 2 in hand but he could have easily bollocks it up, 101% FS was perfect considering the rest went off way to fast. His 1st winner out of a 100 + great interview after👏.

The next 50 mins are going to be really weird. I placed an ACCA this morning on both teams to score and added Untied who I dislike( could have used stronger words). I didn't know they were the last game and now I need them to score to put me In front for the weekend which is twisting my melon man.
