Going to the dogs...

Oh, then thats okay then. 😄

I'd suggest going for the trio bets or straight wins, its not really worth going for a "place" unless the odds are good. The problem with being there is that the odds aren't fixed until just before the race, so you can place a bet at 25-1 but only get 2-1 by the time the race starts!

I'll be betting mostly at the bookies ring, you can play the odds a little better there. The Tote is no good because it goes up or down depending on what bets are on what dogs.

Indeed.

Are you having a meal and everything too?

Well those basket meal things plus free drink and bet, going to win I can feel it in my water.

Maybe thats a storm coming and not a win. 😕

The meals are never anything special, but the beer isn't badly priced.

The beer's warm and flat down here so I might have to stick to the old Whiskey until I am in a state where warm beer doesn't matter.

Stick to turbo-shandy's!

Can't do vodka.

Try an Incredible Hulk then, its cider and blue curaco.

Tastes like s**t, but gets you p****d. 😄

We call that something like monkey snot. Or is monkey snot snakebite and blue curacao?

That sounds good too.

I've heard it called Green Death before too. Snakebites rock, they are without doubt my fave strong drink.

You get bars that refuse to serve snake-bite so you just order a pint of lager, a pint of cider and a half pint of water, then you, well it's simple isn't it.

A lot of the bigger pubs won't serve it, but the smaller more local ones don't give a monkeys.

I once ordered a pint of snakebite and was refused, 10 minutes later we were doing tequila shots at the bar from the same barmaid. Where's the logic in that refusal? 😕

barMAID - logic - barMAID - logic, please explain oxymoron.

😄

Actually this women is the pub landlady I think. Real odd looking female she is too. She looks like a mish-mash of a number of other women, we've effectionatley named her, "The cut and shut".

Need to be careful how you say it when drunk.

Good lord, I wouldn't say it to the lil' poison dwarf, she'd kick my ass!

Are you a man or a mouse?

Neither, I'm a mechanical cat creature. 😄

Oh yes I'd forgotten.
