Montpellier. Ale. Kebabs. Vomit

Been far too long since I was in Cheltenham for the November meeting let alone the festival. Birmingham gets hit when I go to the Pillar for my annual fix

Very jealous of all you old men going over for the festival, it really sucks being young these days.

At the age of 21 our college saw it fit to give the racing society a "travel grant" FFS. Ridiculous

The job I've been sitting around waiting for for the last two weeks finally came up. Induction tomorrow at 2.30. They very kindly gave me Friday off for my stag. So I'll get the supreme novices then nothing til Friday!! Won't complain though, great to get a job. Jealous if all you guys though!!

BumperD

New job? Perfect timing! Just tooked away a fry. Watching atr replays. Bus to the big smoke in an hour. Packed. Tickets. Passport. Wallet. And a wad of sterling.

Good luck everyone this week. Lets hope all runners and riders get around safe and we have plenty of winners on the boards to cheer back to the winners enclosure, be it from the couch or from the stands.

Colonel Sanders

Moon Dice

Im in university in Swansea. Train to bristol later. Few pints then the train up tomorrow. I cannot wait

BumperD

On the bus. The pilgrimage has begun. Nervous glance over at my jacket every now and again. A lot of sterling resting there. I have 4 live ante post bets. Vigil on his own now rather than an ewd given activial out. Then 3 larger ew bets rathvinden, rathlin and special tiara. If any of those 3 win I'm in profit this week no matter what happens on track.
