    PP doing a facebook offer, open an account bet a fiver and get a 20 euro free bet. When you click on it it automatically sends an e mail to your FB e mail address. I'll get a mate to open it in his name. Not a bad offer

    Why is there always 22 cents in my betfair Acc? If I lodge 20 or whatever amount and lose it, or win and withdraw, log on few days later and there's always 22cent there.

    Good night at the quiz last night finished joint 2nd with Willie Mullins team and beaten by 3pts. Some cracking questions very tough going. Just listening to Mullins talking beside us he was pretty sweet on Pont Alexandre talking it up. If I think of some questions ill pop them up and no googling!

    Wow. You definitely have a type.

    I'm more into my comedy although have enjoyed other types too.

    If we're talking non comedy then

    - Twin Peaks (although still some comedy value)

    - Carnivale

    - The singing detective

    - The west wing

    - Mad men

    And obviously the greatest of all.... The Sopranos.

    I'm not really into cop/forensic stuff like yourself but I did enjoy Life on Mars but mainly for the time travel buzz.

    More recently I thought Boardwalk Empire was top quality.

    If it's comedy you're after then I got some list for that !

    Are you hungover today? At least you're not the Queen, who reportedly has gastroenteritis. To me and you, that means: The Queen has the ****s.

    Garde Champetre maybe? Could be completely wrong though!
    Edit; Nevermind not him, he's run 8 times, but not all in the 2000's and didn't win his first start
