Morning Mr T.

There is a bet I like in the ATP Auckland this week. With the season only just starting and the Aussie open around the corner finding a player in form and who is motivated to win this competition is not easy. You can make a case against all the field, but I am going to suggest we back a player ranked 13 in the world whos best surface is hard courts. With all the injuries to the top players Sam Querrey may be motivated for a big run in the Aussie open. Having not had a competetive  match yet this season he could do with some games this week. He is in the easier half of the draw. and 2 of the better players in his half should be tired after long runs in last weeks tournaments. A likely semi final against Jack Sock would not worry him unduly, although he did lose their only match 7-6  7-6 on the clay courts in Houston. The 12-1 on Querrey is far more appealing than the 11-2 on Sock.

Suggest £10 e/w Sam Querrey @ 12-1 with betfred

incorrect

i would say one is easy, one is so so and one is tough

none are English :-)

all still active

all have played for over a dozen T20 teams/franchises and their country in the format worldwide since 2005-6

How about Ross Taylor or Kane Williamson

Aaron Finch, Alex Hales?

Which is jolly nice, of course, well done them. But surely it's pure instinct?


It gets better though;

It was once awarded to a cat. Why?

All rather odd really.

I'm delighted for all those brave dogs, horses, pigeons & (solitary) cat, of course I am. And feel-good stories beat those dreadful "girl scarred for life in acid attack" stuff we see every day.  

But awards for bravery for pigeons & cats?

I'm struggling a bit with that.


Oh, & in case you think I'm making all this up, here you go, look for yourself;

I found this especially interesting Mr T. My father was the navigator on HMS London which was the ship that was sent up the Yangtse to rescue HMS Amethyst. He never spoke about the really brave cat that he helped rescue though.

I am staying at my brothers house and he has one in the kitchen. I really like it and use the timer facility for cooking, and play lots of music on it. I haven't explored any other aps but I reckon I will do in the future

Morning Mr T.


There is a tennis bet that I like today in the Basel tournament. Borna Coric faces Henri Laaksonen and has been made favourite for the game. Coric has greatly disappointed over the last 2 years after being touted as the next big thing in tennis. His form is poor, he has lost both matches against Laaksonen, and it is an indoor match which is also to Laaksonen's advantage. As a final benefit Laaksonen is Swiss so he will have huge crowd support. I would have Laaksonen as a 4-6 shot today.

Suggest £20 Laaksonen @ 11/10 with Hills but better be quick.

That is a great article Tighty, thank you.

Actually I think the game they are playing is not poker but " cups".

Yes. I use u torrent but it is a greek u.

The book by bill bryson is there.

If you are after a specific book then google it, there are a lot of sites offering free audio books. Also local libraryies offer audio books for free to down load. If there is an actual book that you are desperate to find, then let me know and I will search for it as well.

This site does audio books. I have given you a sample but you will need software to download it.

Afternoon Tighty.

Superleague tonight sees Huddersfield host Castleford. Castleford have secured the league winners shield so have nothing to play for. They are also without 3 key forwards and Huddersfield are close to full strength, with only Jake Mamo missing. If Huddersfield win their last 4 fixtures they should make the playoffs so they should be more commtitted. Add in being at home and the 2-1 odds we get make them the bet.

Suggest £20 Huddersfield @ 2-1 with betfred.

Nothing really interesting. My father was in the navy and in those days they did lots of christenings on ships of children born into naval families. At the time he was stationed in Portsmouth and chose HMS Hermes. I am told that I was 1 of about 30 to be christened that day.
