Was at the dentist a while back and he offered to do repair work which wasn't urgent (replacing a cap with a crown). F me , 3 temp caps , 2 crowns, 9 visits later all for the same tooth. Note to self, if it's not broken, don't fix it.

I must get a crown and was quoted 650 for one. Crazy money. Might go up to the north to get it done or Poland:)

BumperD

I would have paid anything to bring me back in time and leave the old cap there. 9 visits, drilling, 6 visits I had injections to numb the tooth, all for 1 crown ( they put on one but it was wrong colour and was banging against my lower teeth, I looked like jaws from James Bond movie, and had to break and replace it).. I'm changing dentist

BumperD

John Ferguson might be the one to finally deliver for Goldolfin.

Slattsy

Was he not already there in some capacity ?

BumperD

Not sure. Thought he was just training the NH last few seasons, I may be well wrong though

You were right. But his role has changed

BumperD

Somewhere, deep in Barvaria, Droidman is ordering another Weissbier for the table after that Carroll hat-trick

Slattsy

Jeez some clowns in that other forum.

Imagine putting up and horse, it loses, then saying you backed the winner. DH

BumperD

Anyone recommending people to remortgage houses etc in an early season bottom of the run flat handicap on soft going needs a chat with themselves or else is laying the bejeeezus out of the horse

Slattsy

Too much emphasis on poor quality handicaps. Mugs game

BumperD

I'm not great with handicaps so I stay well clear most of time. Prefer the graded action

BumperD

Speith falling apart

BumperD

This is ugly

Slattsy

Dellighted McIlroy didnt get near a win.

Slattsy

Game over.

Had a 10er on Speith Oh well.

BumperD

New season of fear the walking dead kicking off tonight

Slattsy

I never watched the first series. I don't think it was shown on TV over here.

BumperD

First season was good. Last nights kick off of season 2 was ok. I guess it will pick up as it develops. I did the walking dead house at universal for Halloween a couple yrs back, scared the bejaysus out of me

Slattsy

Imagine being a Chelski fan and never having nights like Liverpool FC have had over the years.

BumperD

Dying

Slattsy

Family weddings

Slattsy

McGregor retired.

One word:
FRAUD

BumperD

Why was he a fraud?

Slattsy

Fighting bums.

One hiding and he retires = fraud.

BumperD

He stepped up two weight divisions and got beaten after throwing everything he had at Diaz. That's not a fraud.

As regards this retirement talk, looks like a power struggle. Time will tell I guess

Slattsy

All a big drama.

Slattsy

Another stag, another broken Slattsy!!

BumperD

:pac:

Slattsy

Ground gone against Air Force Blue at Newmarket. Has to be a good bet there somewhere. Galileo Gold possibly or even Herald the Dawn at 33.

Slattsy

Ground today at Punchestown anyone? Has it dried up?

Dunno if you heard him the other day "followed by....... em...... errr.... the others", ffs.

Always have to be wary cheering a horse he is calling as the winner, incase you get Dessied by the bookie.

Was calling Yorkhill Bellshill for the the first mile of the race the other day, also called Regal Encore something else today, can't remember what it was. Him and Tony O'Hehir are unbelievably ****. The UK commentators **** all over us a bit of new blood wouldn't go amiss!

Johner

Richard Pugh should get far more opportunities.

Unreal, think he was calling him Noble Emperor for the whole race. Yeah, not sure where it is coming from.

Really disenfranchised with Irish Racing and RTE, those colours winning plenty of races, Ted rabbling about bad huge stewarding decisions that have had to be overturned, piss poor commentary and Piggot.

Slattsy

Hape o stout and Redbreast, roof today!

He makes a point of calling home every finisher. I asked him why and he stated for owners/trainers who might not have many runners, he feels it important out of respect to them regardless of where they finish.

How some of the others are clinging to their jobs is bewildering. I suspect they are on contracts which have no end date and can do what they like. Forget which one,sounds like he couldn't give two when he's commentating on a grp 1. He's about as enthusiastic as a corpse being laid to rest. O hanlon is good, enthusiastic in the commentary and sounds interested in his job

Slattsy

Guardiola is another fraud.

Clareman

I don't have much interest in soccer but I do enjoy the specials that PP give on CL games, tonight was Lewandowski to score enhanced from evens to 7/4

BumperD

. The weekend is here

Slattsy

I'm hibernating.

BumperD

Good call. Time for a hibernation me thinks;)

BumperD

Betting on 3yr old handicaps early season are a sure fire way to the poorhouse

Slattsy

Has Droidy left this world an gone t oanother?

BumperD

He's around but not posting much. Think I saw him on the tv after the utd match!

Slattsy
