Increasingly bemused by World events. Horse racing, food, ale and West Ham my passions - oh, and my wife, of course. Alexa, edit list to put her first please.
@archivetvmus71 I have hardly gone a week since 1974 without playing Kimono My House. Stunning.
A typically surreal performance, topped off by Noel Tidybeard in a judge's wig!
There were two tiers of possible response to the express wishes of Henry Nowak's dignified family in the light of his traumatic murder. One humane and empathetic, the other inhumane and exploitative. This version of "Lyin' Eyes" (Eagles) is for @JDVance and those in the second.
@T_J_Carroll But unless there are overhead cameras in EVERY stall (not advocating it, "VAR" can steer well clear of racing thanks very much), this rule will only be randomly activated. If the horse finishes second, but stewards deem it to have lost a winning chance, they void it? Bonkers!

Not every runner in the Derby had a camera over their gate in the stalls - probably only one or two others - so seems unfair to have a ruling re the participation of a horse based on evidence only available for a small % of runners?
The constant banging on about DEI is an infuriating American import into the UK.
In the UK we call it EDI. And EDI training is essentially summed up like this:
‘Don’t be a knob to other people, and realise some people face barriers you don’t.’
It’s not some woke conspiracy.
@Midge1415@I_amMukhtar Dogs, blacks, whites, Irish Catholic, Irish Protestant, Polish, Romanians, Albanians, Muslims, Jews, meat eaters, vegans, rich, poor - whether they be Far Left or Far Right, they'll always have a "them"
20 years later and it happens again!
Rob Kenyon.
He went to the BBC looking for a job as an MP and ended up being interviewed live as a political expert. 🤪
Black men have a much higher risk of getting prostate cancer. It's unwise to test white men at the same rate due to false positives leading to overdiagnosis and unnecessary treatment. Could you please, for one fucking day, give it a rest?
1st time I've seen @bbcquestiontime for years(via iPlayer),won't be revisiting.Deeply depressing.What a dull,largely ignorant audience,& what a drab selection of prospective Parliamentary candidates in a needless by election.Shame on you @joshsimonsmp for generating this shitshow
