I couldn't get mine back even on my history. They were listed as "post reply" but nothing there. I'm a little peeved.

So what do you want to do? Pick the bones through the footy and the Rugby League and do the rest later? How much time do you need? We all know you on here so I'm OK with a bit more leeway.

PS ritchie - arguing with 2nd hand car dealers about their dodgy practices takes up a few hours of fun too.

PS - Cheltenham it's the number of horses that win that are not Irish trained that I'm after, not the trainer, unless you only want to count Balding's winners?

Might be the only non-Irish trainer at the meeting for all I know. Whistle

Speedway Grand Prix is an individual event running across the Summer, not a team event - https://www.fimspeedway.com/sgp/riders

Ah right okay, in that case, jack Holder and 8

At the moment I'm arguing with a bank, a cruise line and a "rewards club". I manage to fit it all in to my busy schedule and I'm like a dog with a bone - I won't give it up. Actually I'm getting to be more like a dog with a soft toy, much harder to get it to give up!

Nice one ritchie, keep ratting the bastards out for poor service, delivery, whatever.

My 2nd hand car dealers decided to pick a bone with my piss poor review of them on their website of choice thinking they were going to win an argument. They decided they were in the right again yesterday but then cut off all communications when I told them that legally they were talking bollocks. Their advertising on AutoTrader (isn't that owned by a former Reading owner?) says no admin fees, yet they tried to charge me one, (thick end of £100) because it says so on one of their own deeply hidden webpages. Erm, right. I won that argument. They finally coughed up their 140 odd checks that they did on the car, none of which addressed the issues I raised before buying the car. Then they said but when you signed ..... blah, blah, blah you agreed to all this stuff. Ah, but I didn't sign anything and they can't prove I did. Catch the bastards in the lie. They don't have a leg to stand on.

Love it, absolutely love it. Laugh LaughLaugh

A great "oooop and under" if ever I saw one. "Aaaaaaayyyyyye, he's a big laaad"

After AmChaff gave it three coats of looking at and two coats of trying to post her predictions, I'm just waiting for themaclad to confirm his Speedway prediction and we're all set to go. Thumb up
