It kind of sucked because the only time I've ever enjoyed the cup has been wearing a hat and drinking champagne while waiting to find out how I did in the sweep and, most importantly, doing it at work so I'm being paid!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-485664355325189781.post-18894770881149293162007-11-07T21:44:00.000+11:002007-11-07T21:44:00.000+11:00Well.I am one of those people that has little to n...Well.<BR/><BR/>I am one of those people that has little to no interest in horse racing during the year, but (due to family and work pressures) do get a little bit interested during the spring carnival. (I think through my fascination with getting systems to beat punters' gut feel or experience, more than anything else).<BR/><BR/>But I had to work yesterday... so where's balance?<BR/><BR/>And yes, some people died someplace. That happens every day. But then again so do horse races. See what I'm getting at here? (cos if you do, please tell me).<BR/><BR/>Hmmmm. I think I miss the heady days of controversial religious discussion in your blogs. I know, that was so last week but still, wouldn't it be good to return to those halcyon days?<BR/><BR/>So, how about that God, eh? What a loony.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05555193721594426402noreply@blogger.com
