Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

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.

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

for you i will do it 2010

[tikay]

Are you now nippable?

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.

Let's do it!

To whom shall we delegate this task?

If I knew how Les Dawson or David Dickinson did those things, I would. Is there a You Tube Link?

I'm not entirely sure them boyz know what a thesaurus is.

Alex Martin, maybe?

Le Knave might do, he's fairly bright, as plump kids usually are.

Mondatoo cannot speak English.

Rooks - he'd have to ask 'Ling - & Flushy - for permission.

TBH, I'm the only BoyBander that has the skillz.

I don't really think you can be classed as a boybander unless you have been involved in a prop bet that includes wardrobes or that you have been photographed wearing womens underwear.  Which one are you fessing up to?

They made me an Honorary Member after I took the lot of them on single-handed in Brighton & skooled them good & proper.

Talking of clothes, I've been shopping today, gone & got myself some new gear, am filming in Brighton on Sunday, & gotta look the Bizz.

I tried to buy a proper crombie - remember them? - but could not find one anywhere. But I got a scarf like Le Knave has - I'm gonna look so cool in that.

[tikay]

No news on bolty, anyone?

He's not been here for a week or more, & I've rung his Moby & his Landline, no reply.

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.

He purchased her in the auction ring at some lord's dispersal sale for £10k which was a record for a yearling by some distance at that time. He then sold her as a 4YO I think for £24k. Grimming certainly occurred but I'm unclear as to exactly where and when.

[lazaroonie]

a few weeks ago I was watching an old black and white movie on the TV, twas an early hammer production from 1965 called Hysteria, about a guy who wakes up after losing his memory. anyway the one fascinating part of the film for me was he got picked up by a girl driving a white sports car in france, and they were talking about getting back to england. I assumed they would be taking the ferry, and was astonished as the next clip showed them driving the car right into the back of a plane.

further investigation (google, wiki etc) reveals that this was a British United Air Ferries service which operated from Maidstone in kent to Le Touquet in france. This was a regular service which carried passengers and their cars from England to the continent.

this seems to me to be a grand, almost exotic way to travel. I wonder how much it would have cost ? I would be interested to know anything about this.

[MANTIS01]

So Barack Obama is the 44th leader of the most powerful country on earth. It is causing me a mild amount of angst to continually hear the adjective "black" when describing this man. Every headline substitutes the fact Obama is the 44th president for the fact he is the first black president. Why? Is there anybody who is unaware Barack Obama is black? If the new president was the first female inaugurated I would be ok with the gender focus, but the race focus gets my goat. If the new president had ginger hair would we keep saying the new ginger president blah blah? But because the new man is a black man society feels the need to tell us he is a black man over and over again. Why? Is it because we are patting ourselves on the back for progressing as a society to the point where this is possible? Our progress as a society would be far more advanced if race was not an issue to highlight every time the guy's name was mentioned. What irritates me more than this is when he's described as an African American. If I was American I wouldn't want an African American as President....I would want an American as president. At this pivotal point in history why the continuous focus on race as not being an issue to focus on anymore? That's a double negative isn't it? Saying race is no longer an issue in the world cos a black man is in charge of America shows race is still very much an issue.

You see people naturally divide over such things as race and heritage, and yet Obama has a vision of unity. In every country there are people who naturally gravitate into pockets of society derived from their race and their past, and no place is this truer than in America. Of course, there is no shame in celebrating your heritage, far from it, but your heritage is your history. If we have arrived at such a monumental moment in the history of society then why do we need to keep highlighting his skin colour every time we mention his name? Oh yeah, it's cos his skin is black, and that's a big big deal, but we still voted for that guy, so we are good, and we will tell you we are good over and over again, and we are sorry about da slaves as you can see. You know what Obama should have done to mark this leap forward? He should have said I'm not African American, I am the 44th president of The United States of America, I am the leader of the free world, and I am American, and I want to look forward to unity rather than back to division. History will judge this guy on what he says and what he does not on what he looks like. The real problem is that if he makes a real botch up of the job then what's going to happen with all this race focus stuff. Cos it wont be the 44th president who's shit, it'll be the black guy who's shit.

[EvilPie]

It's hardly a huge leap forward.

If it'd happened 30 years ago then it would've been a huge leap.

In recent years it has been inevitable and was simply a case of waiting for a decent candidate to come along who happened to not be of ethnic background.

People barking on about him being "black" is a step backwards imo.
