Mo Donegal and Cyberknife all the way.

Though I’m usually in Reno for this and am not betting.

Cyberknife!

Authentic knocked Bob Baffert to the ground in the winner’s circle after Thousand Words did the same before the race. :shock:
LOL.
As long as the horses are ok.

NY Traffic was right there.

My co-better picked Authentic but their 2nd didn't come in. :?


Good for Thousand Words breaking that guys arm.

Score one for the horses. 8)

The last Brixton Pogues gig I go to was entirely thanks to the raft's very own Fr McGreer. Who is a legend. 8)

And then there was one six months later, on a summer night in a forest. For which the transport worked out perfectly. So sort of cracked it in the end.

Your gig record is impressive too. Those were the days, eh?

I’ve been in a Philadelphia blizzard and somehow snuck into Ireland when all the ash from the Icelandic(?) volcano cancelled flights. Well, I was coming from the other direction... LOL. They also played my town after raging wildfires that shut everything down and saw military tanks on our freeway on-ramps, keeping people from moving freely. That was weird. I was shocked that we reopened things just in time. Though the downtown area was safest from fire at the time.

Got to walk across the snowy freeway in Philadelphia (along with a few other Pogues fans) because there was no getting a cab from Northern Liberties (for us!) then thru snowy Chinatown. I still am bemused when I go there in fairer weather. No snow up to my knees? Weird.

They say things you were thinking of before you fall asleep can drift into your dreams. Had a dream that I was pregnant and stuck in a siblings garage. Couldn’t get the door open.

Looked it up in a dream interpretation book at Borders (back in the day) and it said: “You will be unhappy in your marriage and your children will be unattractive.”

My object of affection at the time was a damn good looking man who worked at the Detroit airport. He was hot as hell, so... I was like, “that’s unpossible!” :lol:

Ugly babies, LOL.

A few years ago, I had a dream about a Pogues gig that was happening in Newmarket town hall. I seemed to have somehow been given the job of making sure Shane got onstage at the right time. Which made it all somewhat stressy.




I walked into what I thought was a pub/bar in Salisbury once and still don’t know what the fuck was going on in there, LOL. Wrong place, wrong time.

Been to a club in Covent Garden and the older Sweet fans disco dancing gave me such a case of culture shock I left. Who does that? Shit.

Been to a latent goth club in Kensington. :lol:
Who needs to dream about Pogues when we’ve got the real thing? Mr. MacGowan once said “there’s enthusiasm for you.” at me from the stage. 8) LOL. I can live with that.


I've been to some seriously scary places in London and in the north-east over the years. Tended to assume that in a little town like Newmarket there'd be nothing like that. But the place there is on another level...
