Really enjoyed this from @PeterMayRacing
An enjoyable and very readable chronology of some of the most notable characters (equine/human) and events in horseracing - some familiar, others less so - but a fascinating read whether one's interest in the sport is serious or casual.
@crewealexfc@MornflakeCereal Of course it will always be Gresty Road to the old faithful, and let's be honest, for all that we appreciate and are thankful for the commercial relationship, "the Mornflake Stadium" just sounds shite. I'm dreading hearing it on Radio Stoke, or, God forbid, on national radio...
Ok it may be flat racing but hey, a day at the races with some mates - how we've missed it! Thanks @ChesterRaces for this great initiative inviting Bangor members too. And come on @gov.wales/coronavirus can you really think of a safer outdoor venue than @BangorRaces??
@BBCRadio3 Breakfast. Please could you play the first movement of Franz Krommer's Quintet in G for flute and strings, op 101 (Stamitz-Quartett, Meier; Koch Schwann CD 3-1097-2)? A great sound to wake up to on a spring morning and surely the definition of "infectious" writing!
@jomccain1 Gosh - Donald is so like him in so many ways! 😁 I've read so much about this race over the years but that comment, "Well, you've got to have a winning post sooner or later" tops the lot! 😂 And David Coleman's hat - classic!
@donaldmccain@AintreeRaces@jomccain1 Was in your neck of the woods yesterday afternoon driving to Beeston Castle for an Easter Sunday afternoon in the spring sunshine and ruefully looking at this season's Bangor car-parking sticker still on my windscreen! 😁 Good luck with Blueberry Wine today 🤞
@Know_HG@drdhruvparekh@UHBCEO Thank you so much! I think there was talk of an exhibition when the #portraitsfornhsheroes idea first came up, but clearly there's been no opportunity - guess we all thought it would be over by now!
Just received this in the post. Humbled and very embarrassed. It’s amazing though, my 20 month old son is using this as a replacement for daddy not being at home much - thank you @AdrianCope7
@drdhruvparekh Thank you so much for posting this Dhruv. It was my privilege to paint this portrait of you, and as I've said, we are all indebted to you and all NHS staff. ❤️
