The Spices Are Back!!, Regrets & Explosions Abound

Wohoo! The Spice Girls are as close as ever to signing a deal to do a farewell tour. God I'd love to see them as I never got to see them the first time around. They rock.

Today was much the same as yesterday with the boys kicking themselves for missing some nice priced winners.... Im sure God was reading my previous post as I was moaning that flat racing odds were too short. Not so today! Hell even I missed my second favourite filly in training, Indian Ink as I got blinded by Beo's brilliance... just not on soft ground evidently. So we only had one winner again in the form of Boscobel & Top Dog got the Queens Outfit right - well blue did have to stick one day after four days of suggesting it!

This puts todays tally at:-

1st place ----- TJ ----- 3 winners

2nd place ----- Top Dog ----- 3 winners

3rd place ----- Mini Cooper ----- 1 winner

The final days tips are:-

TJ:- Queens Outfit Light Green 2.30pm Feared In Flight 3.05 Admiral's Cruise 3.45 Amadeus Wolf 4.25 Ripples Maid 5.00 Mikao 5.35 Madiba

Top Dog:- Queens Outfit Lilac 2.30pm Maze 3.05 Scorpion 3.45 Miss Andretti 4.25 Hogmaneigh 5.00 Rayhani 5.35 Dark Parade

Mini Cooper:- Queens Outfit Biscuit Brown 2.30pm Double Attack 3.05 Lineas Selection 3.45 Magnus 4.25 Zidane 5.00 Cedar Mountain 5.35 Secret Ploy

Also on the tips front my dads friends horse Hits Only Money runs in the 4.00 at Ayr tomorrow - do not back it! He's running over 1m & all of his wins have come over 6f. He has struggled something chronic over 1m in the past. Now watch him win!

Ok so I feel a bit more like talking today. The thing that hacked me off most today was one of our Directors (BR the one that wants me out) made a point of saying I wasn't wearing uniform to work... we don't have a strict uniform anyway. We can wear black trousers & jacket with a white or light blue shirt. I only wear white ones & a full suit. How am I not in uniform?? He said it was coz it didn't have out company name on the suit jacket, even though it has on my shirt & I did have my jacket off all day seeing as it was warm. He happened to see me as we were locking up for the weekend & I had my jacket on to save me from carrying it. If he wants to start a fight he can coz Im not having our name put on my expensive suit jacket just for me to lose my job then have a jacket thats useless. This was coming from the man in a pair of natty grey trousers, short sleeved red, grey & blue checky shirt & about six buttons undone. Yeah thats really our company's uniform isn't it? Wanker.

I've been trying to encourage my protege to leave all week - not coz I want rid (although I do) but because the placement she can be put in is the Civic Centre & once you're in there you are laughing. But she doesn't know if she wants to leave or not though I suspect J will give her the boot long before the month is out because today I had to deal with the fall out of one of D's mistakes. She took a booking but didnt actually put it in the diary. Subsequently another person booked the bus so the first woman was ranting & raving like a good un - what is it with shouting on a Friday?! - but luckily we managed to fit her in thanks to some creative thinking. Well done AF for that brainwave!

Also D's dad is in hot water when he gets back on Monday. He was specifically told to have his bus back at base by 5pm last night as the bus needed filling with fuel for its trip to Scotland today. He brought it back at 7.15pm .... he'd been using it as his personal removal van & E is gunning for him big time.

Monday is shaping up to be quite an explosive day. It should be fun!

Ciao for now
