Grand National

[AgentCooper]

Just finished doing our work sweepstakes for the big race tomorrow and I’ve come out with Eclair Surf and Escaria Ten. I know nowt about the gee gees but a colleague does and he said the former was a strong contender.

Anyone else playing with work or having a flutter?

I know it involves 4 legged animals but that's about the extent of my horse racing knowledge

Same, and that they have wizened looking children in outfits that are presumably worn for comedy purposes sat astride them.

I know next to naff all about horse racing, but looked at a couple of different tipsters and picked out 5 horses that had been named a few times and put a quid each-way on them, so total stake of £10. This happened:

1st, 2nd, 3rd and 6th!

Congratulations, good sir! And your lads scalped Man Utd! And you’ve got a new cat! What a day to be a Denz!

As a contrast, my horse did a giant fart and fell over about sixteen seconds into the race, and then I broke my toe shortly afterwards… fun times 😐

You weren't running behind the horse were you? How did you break your toe?

How did you break your toe?

I say I broke it, it was actually the work of Mrs Cooper. I was using the wet vac to clean our carpets and for some reason she tugged the cord as I was stepping over it. It wrapped round my big toe and tripped me so my full weight landed on the toe next door. The top of the nail is jagged from the impact, the nail has broken about halfway down due to being bent right back and I’ve got a nice wee bruise that’s starting to spread.

Ow!!!

 

[AgentCooper]

Ow!!!

My choice of words was somewhat more fruity.

It’s fine though, I’ve broken toes before. Finished the carpet cleaning, had a couple of paracetamol and then hobbled to the shop to get some more pain relief (beer).

Gross toe update!

As I said in my post, I know next to nothing about horse-racing. Wouldn't feel at all confident doing a Tricast or any of those!
