It's been a long day sorting stuff out so this will be a quick one. And a small homage to a lovely couple we met who read the blog, I...

Full disclosure, Green Day didn't do a song called "Exiled Scouser in Rural Perthshire Idiot" but, if they did, that would be today's...

The journey home was a dilemma. For 20 minutes I could only come up with "Coward of the County" as the name for today's blog. And the...

One job. One bloody job Kevin had. I'm doing the driving so he's on jumping out and picking up the takeaway/milk/beer en route back to...

I'd like to me sparkling and witty but I'm exhausted after a long, and let's be honest, difficult day for us along with most of the rest...

Radiohead and Travis vying for CairnBet headline favouritism whilst Rihanna a big price and drifting. Radiohead got the nod, primarily...

I started going to watch football in 1973. You couldn't get a ticket for most grounds (including Anfield) but my Dad had a season ticket....

Honestly, I love student days. We need them for the future and they are (in my experience at least) absolutely lovely. Never an argument....

Green. It's taken me all these years to shoehorn my 2nd favourite album into a CairnBet title. "In My Tribe" by 10000 Maniacs is number 1...

8:00pm New Years Eve in a sleepy corner of Rural Perthshire and consideration already being given to the 6:30am alarm call over the...

Last Kelso meeting a few weeks ago the storm broke upon us with fury and flame, well, torrential rain anyway, the 3 rivers surrounding...

I've only been twice but I love Hexham. Ignoring the 3 1/2 hour drive, the 45 degree betting ring and the incessant wind I bloody love...

Final one of 3 blogs today and my creative juices may not be flowing freely at this stage, if I'm being perfectly honest, so it may be a...

I've written a pretty chunky stand alone piece so will have a very quick trot through our books from the weekend for the sake of...

"I just bought 3 hours of fun". This is one of the most relevant, profound things I have heard on a racetrack this year. More on this...

I'll say it now. We shouldn't have gone. Seduced by the possibility of a 1500 crowd, a lovely evening in the sun and the crushing...

You may think that running the book, sorting out the logistics, knowing where to stand, knowing which pitch to buy, knowing whether to...

A mercifully, for you anyway, short piece this morning as I am staying in North Wales with family and will be shortly enjoying the charms...
