Vagueness and the Aftermath - A sporadic diary

[RED-DOG]

At last!!!!!!!


I've finally got my bridgework sorted. It seems to have taken forever

I'm so relieved. £2k well spent IMHO.

I know it's very shallow of me, but I was ashamed to go out looking like I did. Now I have my teeth, and my confidence back.




I'm a honkey tonkin' tonight Zell! Go fetch ma evenin' britches.

2k huh?  A bargain

Okay here are my horsey pics, my reputation is on the line here.

In third position is the black and white yearling (I think) 2nd from the left in picture 17. Although I can't really see much of it's head, I do like it's clearly defined markings, very nice feathering and long full tail.

In second position is the young foal in picture 4, it's a bit of a hunch but I just feel that it has beautiful conformation including the very short back and nicely shaped head, and could develop into something really special.

In first position, I'm still sticking with my original pick, the horse in picture 3 which is surely too well developed to be a yearling. He looks hugely powerful in it's neck and quarters, with thick mane and tail and again lovely feathering. I've a feeling that he may be a champion.

Here's my 3-2-1 then.

Third - Picture no. 3. Just a shade long in the back, perhaps.

Second - Picture no 17 - 2nd from Left, as we look - the "Musketeer". Looks a great sort.

Winner - Picture 18. I like that one a lot. My eye was first taken by that massive neck - that's real power there. Superb feathering, colour marking, mane. I'm convinced that's the one to plump for.

.

You both did astonishingly well. I was especially impressed by the reasoning behind your picks, your "Summing up" as it were.


One of you got two right, with one of those spot on. The other got all three right, but in the wrong order.

Therefore, I declare a draw.

Very diplomatic. But you should not protect Ralph's failure just because he's rather old.

A most satisfactory outcome though. Ralph & I had a £5 wager, on who'd do the best. It was agreed, unless I'm much mistaken, that I'd win in the event of draw.

Well done Tony, but I can't help but wonder if you would have picked "The Musketeer" filly had you not been informed that she was indeed "The Musketeer" filly before you made your picks known.

In case you now feel guilty, you can now absolve yourself by paying me the £5.

It's so refreshing to debate with one so diplomatic & erudite, after all those foaming-at-the-mouth shouty-wouty hoohahs across the other side of the Forum. I love this Diary (& mine), it's such a friendly place. I wish there mere more "blonde Diaries".

I confess, you did pick first, & I could not but help take that into consideration. I'm not sure I'd have looked properly at The Musketeer unless I'd seen the comment about it's marking. But our picks differed, & mine, if I may make so bold, were morer righter. I can tell, by the way Red worded his reply.

Let's call it a draw then.

As Tom noted.....

You both did athtonithingly well. I was ethpethially imprethed by the reathoning behind your pickth, your "thumming up" ath it were.

You playing the DTD Rebuy tonight Ralph, Tom? I planned to rest today, the rest of the week is barmy busy for me, but I'm wobbling.....

I'm entered in the Omaha which starts at 3pm, but I'm umming and ahhing over whether to actually play although my anti-biotics have kicked in now and I'm no longer in pain. Okay I've decided, I'm playing the Omaha.

Good Luck in that Ralph. I'm tempted now......No, I can't, I'm way too busy today, but I may pop in tonight for a break, & play the Rebuy.

Sorry to hear you are having problems again. Play the Omaha, & it'll take your mind off the pain. And don't forget - "Raith".

So what's on tonight....?

[tikay]

So what's on tonight....?

£50 + £50 +_£50 Rebuy/Add-on (max spend £150), with a roomful of mad Scandies, & Lord Linton of Lenton taking the battle to them single-handedly. Or every handedly, more likely.

See, that would have worked if you had thought of that immediately...now it's one of those "oh, if only I'd said that at the time!" moments
