Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

err, tony, hearts are still red, same as always

Do we have to refer to you as "your binkyness" from now on ?

PS Finished Mr Sievier's aotobiography today, a very interesting read indeed.

Glad you enjoyed it Ralph. He was some character, eh?

But more so, what a horse Sceptre must have been to withstand such a gruelling training regime - 6 mile gallops every day, & so many races, over such varying distances! Ran in the 1,000 AND the 2,000 Guineas, the Oaks AND the Derby, the Lincoln & the Ceaserwitch. Extraordinary. Remember too that getting a horse to a distant meeting took some doing in those days, & she even went to Paris, by, I assume, Ferry & Road.

I have another book about Seivier & Sceptre, but a Biography, by John Welcome I think, rather than an Autobiography, & it paints a totally different picture of Mr Seivier - murderer, swindler, general rogue.

One of the most remarkable characters that ever graced (graced?) the Turf, but Sceptre must surely be the greatest Racemare that ever lived, bar none.

Yes Tony running third or fourth  in the Lincoln before winning BOTH of the Guineas followed by a defeat in the Derby after losing many lengths at the start for which Sievier was accused of "stopping" her and then winning the Oaks three days later and the the St. Leger to wrap up four of the five classics was some tally for her three-year-old season !

No horse has ever, or will ever, beat that 3 year old record. Its unthinkable these days!

And yet, despite all that, &  the associated betting, Sievier was always skint.

He even grimmed the previous owner (The Duke of Westminster?) when he purchased her, (Sceptre) if I recall correctly. I think he paid 24,000 guineas - a veritable fortune in those days.

Are you quite sure about that?

also, when analysing a hand, when someone rivers say a flush to win the hand, u must say ooooooh there is the club on the river, that is so BINKTASTIC!!!!!

With respect, Vinni, that's incorrect kidzspeak.

We no longer say "he has, or needs, a club". We say "green".

8-9 is useless, 8-9 blue is a must call, do you see now?

Do keep up.

So tomorrow, we shall have J-T Blue, (Hearts) 5-6 yellow, (yellow is Diamonds I believe) etc.

That's what the kidz told me, see?

Hearts = Red
Diamonds = Blue
Clubs = Green
Spades = Black

I believe...

really stuck it in pOK i get it. so when he binks a GREEN on the river, then that will be binktastic.

You could follow it up with ' ship the farking lot to player A, who layer b's eye there'

Think the suits at sky will be pleased with ur new approach imo.

Do keep up.

I am not entirely convinced that the Sky Poker Suits are quite ready for that yet. Give me time. If I say that, they might.

Good grief, how extraordinary.

I shall try & memorise that.

It occurs to me what a spiffing idea it would be if Online Poker Sites used those colours - four colour decks would be a wonderful idea for the old & infirm, & those with bad eyes.

Note to self - try to remember to use smileys when appropriate.

[Laxie]

Sigh.  Online poker sites DO use 4 colour decks.  Where do you think the young uns got it from?!

I shall sue.

Spiffing is a tez word for a kidzspeakologist.

Too late mate, the nippers have pinched!

Listen to you lot go on lol.  The word "Kidzspeek" should now be the official language of blonde and a thesaurus should be written by boybanders immediately.

When a player hits a miracle card Tikay should shout "Binkerty Bink" clap his hands and stamp his foot like Les Dawson on Blankerty Blank. This would be good telly. Also maybe add some Jazz hands like David Dickinson did on Strictly Come Dancing and you get that American-style razzmatazz as well.

I soo hope a blonde makes the FT of the WSOP and does this.
