Timing

Luckily he didn't get it all in pre

[kinboshi]

He seemed to hit the bus more than it hit him.  Maybe he didn't see it?

wp Tracey. FWIW i think u played the KK multiway fine, the AK fine and the AJs fine. Tony are you on the box this week?

[nirvana]

the difference at the moment is that I'm in the race whereas before I was running away.

Well done - I think the above statement just about captures one of the keys to winning these which it's easy to forget on a bad trot

Congrats to Ding on her third cash in successive nights.

After busting early in the DTD £300 on Saturday, with KK v AA, she played the £50, & did a 4 way deal, getting £600+.

At Luton on Sunday, in the £100, she chopped it heads up for £1,200+.

Tonight, at Luton, she was second in the £50+£50+£50, & took £800+.

brilliant well done

Ding Dong.......wp!

I plan to try & get up to date with all the questions you've asked that I've yet to answer, but it'll need to wait until Thursday.

For now, though, something completely different..........

I spent most of today at Chili's house, she's helping me "get my house in order" as to my paperwork & stuff. My paperwork has always been looked after by others, PA's at work, then Wendy, but for the last 3 or 4 years, it's just piled up. A fortnight back, I took 4 bags full of paperwork across to Maria, & she filed them all beautifully.

I took across three more box files full today. And in amongst scores, possibly hundreds, of Share Certificates (I take Scrip Divs where possible, so I get a lot of small denom Share Certs), wage slips dating back to the 80's, & all manner of old bills & paraphanelia, there were some old photographs of mine, which Maria was able to scan for me.

I was in a foul mood, as I've had a bad 24 hours. Ho-hum. But amongst those 'photos was a real diamond, & one which cheered me up no end. You cannot begin to imagine the happiness this particular photograph gave me. I took the 'photo myself. 

This is a Class 52 Diesel Hydraulic Locomotive, "Western Enterprise", built at BREL Swindon Works in 1961. I have no idea when the picture was taken, but I'd imagine it was around 1962 or 1963.

The Driver is my Dad. I can't tell you how proud I was of him, & he of me. Dad's are the best thing ever invented.

[RED-DOG]

You look like him.

Where was it taken Tikay?

I can't belive how good the photo looks scanned, actually better than the origianl.  Also can't belive how I didn't notice how much you are a clone of your dad!
