Dad's funeral all sorted.
Friday 5th January 2024, Howe Bridge Crematorium at 10am.
Glad it's after Christmas which gives plenty down time and time to enjoy the festivities the best we can.

Anita surely deserves a free first-class upgrade on her next trip?
Well done to the train manager too, deserves a pat on the back and high praise from the management
Semis should not be at Wembley though, Coventry v United should be at Villa Park or Anfield and Chelsea v City should be at VP or the Emirates, bring neutral grounds back to the FA Cup
Absolutely devastated and heartbroken about the news regarding John Hunt's wife and two daughters, One of the nicest men in racing and a devout family man suddenly having his entire world taken away from him by some evil scumbag.
My thoughts are with him at this sad time.

You do know that image is actually from an episode of Top Gear in which he and the Ledbury Hunt actually hunt Jeremy whose in a car in the countryside?
@KTHopkins
Just an idea Katie, why not wait and find out if it was either an attack or an accident before adding even more fire to the flames!
Good job Twitter wasnt around for the Windsor Castle fire in 1992,you'd be blaming anti monarchists before the fire engines had arrived!
Imagine the National being won by the man who fixed Hollie Doyle after she had her front teeth knocked out in a Haydock fall!
Horse racing is bloody brilliant at times!

And if they didn't spend anything you'd be moaning at them for not contributing to the economy and blaming them for job losses as businesses would have to close down!
@Ollie_Bayliss
As is traditional in FA Cup football from the television companies, rave on and on in rounds one and two about how great it is for the smaller clubs before ignoring them all in round three
Think all racing fans should send their appreciation and thanks to the people from
@RaceTechUK
especially the camera operators stuck out in all weathers to bring us the pictures not just today but all year round.

Because the rabbit was doing a far better job, if anything the person filming might have scared the cat and the rabbit so best leave them be
Don't want to use the C word on here, but Royal Ascot Eve doesn't seem to get the blood pumping as much as the Eve before the racing festival in the Cotswolds in March does it?
Very sad to report that my dad, John Watson, sadly departed just after 8.30am this morning in Wigan.
After a mixture of heart,lung and kidney failure mixed in with a bout of pneumonia, this was sadly one last fight that he couldn't defeat.
Cam Hardie deserves some praise for how he handled National Anthem after he broke down, could have caused a pile up behind seeing as they were speeding along but did brilliantly to stay on board and stop his horse, must be like a tyre blowout on a motorway, real horsemanship
Very touching of the BBC to still add

on the closing montage of the Olympic coverage.
The past two weeks are a shining example of how the world can be if it gets its act together
Good deed for the day done, On bus coming home a lady who lives on my estate and is blind asking driver to stop at a particular stop because kids have been making fun of her and calling her so told her I'd stay with her and got her home safely.

ETH is building a new era at Manchester United, and you don't do that by basing the team around a 37yo striker, we've actually been a lot better since he left
What a jockey Henry Brooke is, anyone who says that jockeys do not care about these horses can go and do one.
Such emotion in his voice, like everyone who follows racing, these beautiful animals mean the whole world to us.

If you have Google Maps on your phone then it should sync with it on other devices so it can pinpoint where you've been and might help with where it is now?

So does this mean that if you have to go to a hospital for treatment, will you only insist on being treated by an English doctor,nurse or surgeon?

will have good lawyers for seeing this on here, although it won't be necessary because I'm sure whoever made sought permission first to avoid any potential lawsuits from happening
If you're a bitter and annoyed punter and you plan on emailing or messaging any trainers or jockeys with slanderous allegations then at least have the courtesy and respect to spell your message properly!
Kudos to the professionalism of

Yes his horse won and should be bouncing around the studio but kept it all together with thoughts towards Master Tommytucker's connections snd respectful towards the beaten horses.
You just know that Willie would have happily had no winners last week if he could spend one more day with his beloved mother, you can hear just how much he loved her
“There was no one to ring up after the racing. That was my only disappointment of the week.”
Willie Mullins is still celebrating his Cheltenham success after a record breaking week, but speaking to Miriam, paid emotional tribute to his mum Maureen, who died in February aged 94.

Public utilities should be owned by the public and not shareholders whose only aim is to shaft the public for money.
I'd love to know what is happening to the current profits that's making these companies forcing people for more?

It's spelt Fawlty Towers, don't forget A Fish Called Wanda, Monty Python, Life Of Brian, Clockwise, The Meaning Of Life, Rat Race and Sez Les to name a few.
To say this legend was a one hit wonder is like saying Freddie Mercury was only good on Bohemian Rhapsody!
@AnimalRising
Plenty lies from your lot as per usual.
Corach actually unseated because he met the fence on the wrong stride, as can happen in every jumps season and gravity took over.
The only ones scrambling for PR are you because you're annoyed no horses died in the National

Well Gordon Brown came back after being on holiday for four hours to chair an emergency meeting after Foot and Mouth broke out in 2007, The current PM porogued Parliament straight after being made PM and did nothing about C19 when other countries were ahead of the game!
@tomhfh
Not done in the slightest bit done!, this is like opening a tin of paint and then saying you've just finished the decorating when you've yet to take the furniture out!
Some afternoon at Haydock, somehow managed the first six winners on the card!
Hopefully won't be the last meeting of the year but just good to be racing with my fellow vaccinated racing fans
So heartbroken over the news about Gesskille at Cheltenham, such a likeable and loveable horse who did so much to raise the profile of
@G_G_Racing
and for his loyal stable lass

@AnimalRising
That tit was trespassing, the officials had new purple flags positioned to be waved if the race had to be stopped, nice try but please stop this now and leave our glorious sport alone.

Where i work we send cable reel kits to France and now every component will need its own part number, be weighed, and paper work sent to the company three days in advanced where as at the moment its all under one code, the admin for this will triple because of racist idiots
@piersmorgan
Remember that time Ariana organised a charity concert two weeks after her concert was bombed last year in Manchester and you decided to slag her off for flying back to her home the day after when she was devastated by what happened?
@jessphillips
Makes you appreciate how good and under appreciated Gordon Brown was when he came back to chair an emergency meeting after being on holiday for just a few hours
