Message: A warm hello to everyone except Chivas and his three mates who think they're business class but haven't got a seat on the plane. We need to gang up on stupidity but that's a story for another time.
1.5 of you will be enthralled by mindless travelogue so here goes. I thought I had come 12000 miles for nothing when I was frisked by Custom Officials who make Scientologists look good. Then my wife who doesn’t feel sorry for me at all took me through Harrods to look at handbags and b!tch-slapping over hats. She bought a hat that looks like a white spider the size of your hand. She won’t be standing near me at Ascot.
First day we went on a bus ride around Buckingham Palace which is a compound of barbed wire and electric fencing to keep Prince Phillip in. I can’t wait to fight back with Black Caviar next Saturday ~ as long as the Queen doesn’t bring the Corgis.
There’s no football of note over here; I’m forced to watch the European Championships. Gee, I miss Essendon. Summer usually falls on a Monday, it’s rained every day, Wimbledon hasn’t started, Tiger Woods crashed again, The Games are weeks off. I’m loaded with free time at last and I cop this. Dubbo was never this bad.
We’re staying at the Kensington Rooms which smell musty and haven’t been renovated since 1867 ~ even the toilet has a chain. We have a 12 inch television which thankfully broke down the second day we were here. You have to hand your key in when you go anywhere in case you get another one cut which is a mystery since no one would ever stay here twice. I should be shooting quail in the Cotswolds.
You can follow all this misery in checkmeinmyfedora.com
PS: I saw Patsy practising his forehand against a brick wall at Charing Cross Station. He has a way to go.

Message: Chivas,
'Better luck next time' - it's just so lame and dreary. Why can't you just let Lost Clarity write his spin on the world without urinating on his every effort. What's the point in doing that really? LC is always entertaining. Where did it all go wrong?

Why are you posting at 4:30am London time? Shouldn't you be tired from travelling all day? Can't you sleep? A trip through Europe and you're up at 4:30am posting on a racing and sports site.
Must be SOME holiday.
Back to the lounge-room sofa you go. Better luck next time. ROFL!!!

Message: Loved the bit about still having the chain. Brings back memories after the night cart man was put out of work here. One of the great fears each day was the long walk to the outside loo in -8 degrees . ASCOT ... have they still got all that wasted space or have they put in a few potatoes . Did you think to see how Frankel went . I think it was this week he was to canter on Ascot.

Message: LC this has to be one of your better posts if not best. Keep up the good work and if you can let us all know what you get up each day before the big race. Have you seen the Black Cabbie-ar taxi yet?? A taxi driver got spray painted his cab in the Black Caviar colours.
