The 2012/13 Off Season Thread

I've had a little bit to do with her over the years and met her a number of times. An extremely nice lady. Whilst not physically good looking she is quite attractive. She has the whole "it's what's on the inside" deal going on.

Did you know that she was in an episode of Dr Who? I think it was back in the Tom Baker years!!!

 

[Sphagnum]

She sure was.

I don't like her at all due to her communication through horse ownership and her feedback about how horses are going and what their potential is. Spent a fair bit of dough on one that she claimed was good but needed time. Only made it to the track once and was tailed off. When they said they wanted to get rid of it, they claimed none of the jockeys wanted to ride it because it was so terrible. After she'd claimed all along it had ability and would turn out to be a reasonable horse. It took them 3 years to reach this conclusion - 3 years of her inflated training fees with no realistic opportunity for a ROI.

I also don't like the conflict of interest with her husband and son being bookmakers and how short some of her horses are that get beat, then turn their form around when nobody backs them.

So yeah, I'm not a fan. Love watching her horses all get beaten in Melbourne this spring. Fat Al will be next when it runs nowhere in the emirates on Saturday week.

Thursday's announcement prompted sportsbet.com.au to slash the Eels' premiership odds from $34 to $23 for next year.

Good to see Karen being "friendly" with the troops. Good for morale no doubt. They will prolly play highlights on late night SBS.

Do they still have the late night SBS movies? I like boobs. I learned to speak French watching boobs on late night SBS as a kid. I've since forgotten.

Forgotten about boobs or French?

I'm sure he hasn't forgotten the French boobs if he was watching as a kid.

Suity

 

[eels81236]

Correct. I remember the boobs but not what they are saying. It was often either SBS or ABC for Sticky Moments with Julian Clarey. The option was quite literally boobs or balls.

I always watch SBS with the sound off so that I don't wake up my wife.
I'm such a sensitive bloke.
