I've been admitted to Nottingham City Hospital and they are keeping me in. I've only gone and poisoned myself last night. What I thought was an onion, turned out to be a daffodil bulb. I'm feeling a bit better now, and the doctor said I should be out sometime in the Spring ..

@FlowerP79667758 It's certainly not your imagination, I'm in my eighties with poor mobility, but I've been jumping around the garden since Nigel's announcement. I would make sexual advances to my partner if only I could remember what to do!

Just heard of the passing of Call Out Loud. I bought him very cheaply about 5 years ago from Sir Michael Stoute's yard. He won once for me, but after I sold him to his last owners he clocked up 8 wins and over 60k in prize monies. A gentleman and may he RIP.

My best friend passed away last Friday after suffering the effects from prostate cancer. When he was diagnosed a couple of years ago, he made me promise to get regular checks .... which I do. Gentlemen, please get checked.
