Useless Donkeys!
Warning ..... loooooong blog post, you may want to grab a cup of tea or beverage of your choice before you start reading!!!
Horse racing, not really my thing but sometimes its a laugh to have a flutter.
Well this week has been Cheltenham Festival and the boss is into his horse racing so I kinda get carried away with it all.
My theory is: Find a name I like and back it, wether its odds on favourite or 1000-1 outsider ;-)
My horses this week have been:
MixsterTheTrixster: sounded like Vixzter
Darkness: well why not!
Mr Nosie: It was funny at the time
Our Vic: Never wins when I back it!
My Will: For my little bro who's called Will
No Half Session: Need I explain?
Fire Dragon: I like dragons ;-)
Straw Bear: it only got beat by <--------> that much!
Missed That: cos I normaly do miss things
I've been put fairly low bets on like 50p - £1 cos I'm too chicken to put large amounts on and basicaly haven't got big amounts of cash to splash on donkeys! ;-)
Yesterday I put a bet on a horse caled 'You're Special' (I will tell you the reason in a moment) which ran in the 4.40pm race, so I get home not even thinking about it cos I had other things on my mind and stuff to sort out.
I check out the 5.20pm race result a little later, no idea why but I was convinced that my horse was in that race!
Well obviously couldn't find my "useless donkey" there!
Get into work this morning and I'm relaying my "useless donkeys" to my boss and he said 'You're Special' won! well he should know he was there LOL!
I put 50p each way <---- last of the big spenders, at odds of 33/1 so picked up a nice little sum of roughly £22 WOO HOO! beer money for the weekend ;-)
Only reason I didn't chuck the betting slip away was cos I had backed the 'Darkness' £1 each way and I was due back the stake cos it came in 3rd so maybe the 'Darkness' wasn't such a useless donkey after all cos if it hadn't have been for him I would've lost it all cos I'dve chucked the slip away in disgust ROFLOL!
Lets hear it for the USELESS DONKEYS! ;-)
So anyway...the 'You're Special' story:
A long time ago in a club far far away..... ;-)
Me and some hockey mates all went to a school disco ( you know the sort, where you get dressed up in all your old school gear for a laugh)
So there I am, looking good!! ;-) bunches, school tie, hockey skirt, freckles etc and worst shoes complete with knee high socks!
Basicaly to cut a long story short, someone said "Vixzter you look like a special needs child" ( i think it was the knee high socks!) and thats it, I've been called 'special', 'specialness' or 'spesh' ever since by certain factions of my mates who just can't forget that evening ;-)
What else is new?
Definatley making the Rox do up in London on 1st April now, decided I couldn't be arsed to wait for other plans to transpire and so have committed myself to that now, should be a laugh and I just found out one of my mates is going too and we didn't know each other were going.
WATCH OUT LONDON!
Now all I gotta do is find a decent priced hotel for the saturday night.
Birthday plans are coming together also.
The plan is to get off the coach at Victoria Coach Station, walk in the general direction on the Houses Of Parliment cos I wanna see Big Ben go ding dong ;-) and then onwards along the river towrds the Millenium Bridge (right past that bloody London Eye thing sticking my 2 fingers up at it!) then over the 'wobbly' bridge and into the Tate Modern where I'm gonna show my mates my favourite picture ever 'Wham' by Roy Lichtenstein and see a bit of culture.
Of course all this includes pubs and eateries along the way depending on what we find!
Lyric of the day:
Du
du hast
du hast mich
du hast mich gefragt
du hast mich gefragt, und ich hab nichts gesagt
Du Hast - Rammstein [Sehnsucht, 1997]
And so I celebrate my useless donkey winnings with 2 cans of Carlsberg Export ;-)
one is outside the window on the ledge keeping cool, hope it doesn't fall off! otherwise there will be beer all over my car which needs a damn good wash anyway but its just been too chuffin' cold lately!
