Not often we reference a film in the title but it's Tuesday as I write and, given what actually happened was 3 days ago, I appreciate...

It's Sunday, I'm still in jetlagged mode from spending 8 hours a day standing up in 30 degree heat on a tin tray when the only 30 degree...
Yes - I know it's the abridged lyric but the full version is bigger than my Twitter character allowance. Long, hard day for everyone...
Most bookmakers bet on the grass at Ascot. The good people in the maintenance team spray paint hash marks in front of our pitches where...
As is becoming our festival tradition, the preamble is being written the night before so we have no idea how we've done. Regardless of...
I forgot the card machine. Again. 3rd time (un)lucky. For those that are up to date with our previous card machine travails, no I haven't...
Not a love in for Elon and his Starlink (or Lou Reed for whom the title references) I'm afraid, more a homage to the vagaries of Met...
Firstly - apologies for the complete absence of a blog for the 3 day festival at Perth, at which we attended all 3 days, but a slipped...

Radiohead double header for what was a CairnBet double header and I simply had no other band option this week, as me and the infinitely...

As is the case with festivals, we are on a quick turnaround and it's a case of out of the door at 8am, bet all day, crawl out of the car...
As is my festival wont, I am writing the preamble the night before so I have no idea, at this point, how we've done. I do know that,...
Last year we didn't take enough to make this a workable meeting. Newcastle weren't playing that day until 8:00, if I remember rightly, so...
