That's the Grand National. It's pretty dangerous. Particularly dangerous to have a bet in :D  It's on in a couple of weeks. A classic race.

Rugby league= working class northern blokes fighting over a ball
Rugby Union= privately educated posh blokes fighting over a ball
Grid Iron= Oversized americans in funny costumes fighting, sometimes over a ball.

Ice Hockey= fighting stop.

No Zulu, he`s not talking about the push-up bra convention you visit annualy. He is speaking of St Patrick`s day, St Patty`s day.

Season's just opened.  I'm planning on the 300 int. hurdles, 4x400m, 4x100m, and (ugh) 110 high hurdles as my 4 events.  I'd also like to run the 800, because I'd like to try a race with strategy.
