Well our new apprentice has started & I don't get a good vibe from him. I'm usually right about these things: a case in point being the pther guy I don't get a positive vibe from, AC. He is now on his last official warning for a whole host of offences. I knew my gut instinct would be proven right in the end.

Ok, I know I said I quit but after a 30min phone call with Top Dog that basically boiled down to the fact that we'd really only lost £108 each over 5 days & over 35 races which in the grand scheme of things, wasn't much so I was persuaded to re-join the syndicate. If indeed I had ever left in the first place! We have in fact made a dent on the debt with 2 nice wins curtesy of Juniper Girl & Notnowcato - both my tips. I may well have helped get us into this mess but once I feel as though the pressure is off I manage to find the larger priced winners when we're drinking in last chance saloon. So we head into the "Master of Newmarket Cup" £154 down for the year.

But as I said before my "Lewis Hamilton For World Champion" bet is looking mighty healthy at the mo & will blow our debt away & then some in one single strike. But hang on... why am I sharing it three ways when no one else gives a fuck about F1? Surely this is my own personal bet as only I have laid down the stake money & so therefore it has nothing to do with the syndicate. I predict I'll now get a phone call from one of them blasting me for deciding to keep the Lewis winnings for myself.

Ciao for now
