Slattsys getting a reliant robin!!! He will be the delboy of dublin

Slattsy

Faugheen out - thats my AP done, and they were looking handsome!

BumperD

The perils of AP. Are you still nibbling at the Cossack? He's 4's now. I just cannot see him winning but I've been wrong before, if they stick a hood on him he might do better but Im not buying annual excuses for his two prior trips to Cheltenham

Slattsy

/I think if you look at last years run, you'd blame Cooper and not the horse

The other run was shocking tbf.

I've stopped backing him once he went 9/2. Got mostly 11/2 so im happy enough. Think i've about 250e in total on!!

Fecking Car Insurance is a costly thing!

Even on a 1L that's 2001 it's a few Grand

Slattsy

Yeah its gone up for everyone this year.

A few grand though, you must be a young lad?

Turn 21 this October. Have the test coming up in a few weeks. Not buying anything till after I pass it though.

Any tips on trying to get it down

Slattsy

Ride someone that works in insurance!!

(but mostly pass the test)

Slattsy

Deposit down!

Clareman

Well done that man.

Copper_Pipe, named driver experience for as long as you can, once you turn into an old f**k like myself it'll be cheap anyway.

Yeah might put the car in the parents name and me as named driver.

Will have a notebook for Horses and a notebook for Insurance quotes soon enough

Do as many of the advanced driving courses as possible as well sign up for the safe driving courses or whatever. Oh yeah, and don't crash

I'm sure you learned from your mistake and sure isn't that what it's all about!

BumperD

Named driver is the way I started as well. That 2k insurance is daft. Don't do that route, it's a crazy price. Once you have your full license and a couple of years as named driver as Clareman suggested, price will fall quickly. Also, shop around.

Yeah, I learned it's better to mess up someone else's no claims than your own

I need a beer

Check out the conditions to ride in the 3:20 at Sandown tomorrow. These traditions are brilliant, long may they last.

Slattsy

I would drink pints right now, I think I'll head down the local for the second half of the Munster match tonight

Slattsy

I need a weekend off, tore the arse out of it last weekend!!

I'd rather watch paint dry than sit in a pub watching a boring rugby match !

The wife has been sick for the last couple of weeks so it's been work to minding kids for the past 2 weeks for me, I have a pass for tonight so I don't care if it's opera on the TV, once it's in the pub I don't really care

Slattsy

Find a pub w/o the rugby or one with no tv, that's what i'd do.

Nah, I'll head down to my local, have the craic with the auld lads there and maybe a few games of darts.

Slattsy

Or have a few cans in the shed!

Been a long week. Intense is the word. Will likely have a beer or a dozen, washed down with some rum
