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.

Thats like saying good-bye to me you guys...

Don't worry, no need to rush the congratulatory cards to my parents yet, I'm not dead..
"So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart.
Trouble no one about their religion;
respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours.
Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life." - Chief Tecumseh

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.
