Good story Malc, got a feeling you could tell us a whole lot more

 

What Brendan Foster won't mention today (because 1: he doesn't know, and 2: it is utterly un-newsworthy) is that it's 43 years ago today since he last beat me in a race (he was 5th and I was 7th at Pilk's Gala Mile), making the series record 4-0 (though he only won one of them, and that was a heat). It was the last poor run he ever had - within a year he had a Commonwealth bronze medal and had represented Great Britain in the European Cup in Zurich.

Blake is such a value bet tonight.

 

Bolt was going 100% to run slower than Berlin in the 100m

 

In Berlin Bolt managed 19.19 in the 200m, so based on the 100m I can't see him beating that time.

 

Meanwhile, Blake ran 19.26 at the back end of last year, and is on good form again this year.

 

No way he only has a 20% chance.

Is there anything more boring that watching Claire Balding talk utter bilge about women's rights.

 

"if you object to women's boxing, you must object to men's boxing" Begging the question you daft cow.

 

"people have been impressed by the standard" Come off it - bar 1 or 2 the standard is woeful, as indicated by the fact they're giving out medals to people who won 1 fight because there is 0 depth - this is a 'sport' in the Olympics on politics, not merit.

I'm still surprised to find out she is in fact a woman, i thought she was a bloke with a birds name, you know like those crazy ozzies called stacy.

I actually quite like Claire Balding (obviously not in a sexual way) and am quite happy for her to be on our screens. I reckon I couldgo out for a pint with her, and she would stand her own round

I quite like her too.

 

I am going to build a ::lol::cano over maarsh's comments over women's rights though.

I reckon she'd beat you at darts too.

without a doubt, I reckon that she never travels far without her 'arrers, and also has her own pewter tankard that she drinks pints of bitter from

She would be able to give us a few inside tips on the nags as well?. Did hear a story about her emptying the bookies satchel bags at the races when one of her brothers horses won.

George left a hole I didn't think would ever be filled.

 

If there was a hole to be filled, I'm sure that George would be more than happy to do it in exchange for £50

He wouldn't fill it.

No!!

But I did read a book by Bob Tisdall about the Irish trip to the LA Games of 1932 (Tisdall won the 400m hurdles with the first sub 52 seconds run, and Dr Pat O'Callaghan retained the hammer title). Having sailed to NY they then had a 5-day train trip to LA. On that trip O'Callaghan used to have 16 eggs - before breakfast.

I reckon she'd have some cracking tales like the time her and Oliver Skeet had a 24hr bollinger and pimms fueled fuck fest after the badminton horse trials.
