    Bet365 gave me a free £5 bet yesterday for the 1st race. I stuck it on some 14-1 shot, which led all the way until just before the end and seconds after the £30 cash out option vanished.
    Cunts.
    Still, got my own back on the Bayern game last night. After Olise got (deliberately) booked for time wasting to miss the 2nd leg I suspected Kimmich would try the same. Had a fiver at 28/1. That'll do (nods).

    Cheltenham looks like an absolute cunt fest.

    This article made me think similar.

    It's basically "some lads used to go to Cheltenham, now they go to Benidorm instead". No way are they sat there in Benidorm watching Cheltenham either.

    IIRC I got the impression it was a bastion for cunts when they kept it open back in 2020 when covid hit, with Iain Duncan Smith saying the "common sense of the great British Public" would mean that it'd be just fine, or summat like that.

    Anyway Favori De Champdo up next in the 15:20.

    Seen a police appeal for a missing person which is a former neighbour of ours. We haven't lived on the street for more than a decade and certainly weren't close to him, but feel really sad about it given we lived opposite the bloke for the best part of 15 years. He kept himself to himself mostly but was friendly and used to make a fuss of Little Miss BW (they shared the same birthday).

    He hasn't been seen since 12 February when his car was apparently driven to Sawley Marina very early in the day and abandoned, which doesn't sound at all good.

    Very sorry to hear that. The fact that it took a month for anyone to notice he was 'missing' is also a bit of a sad fact.

    True. It's strange because, while he lived alone, he was (when we were neighbours at least) very active. He played five-a-side with the same group of guys two or three times a week, went to the gym frequently and worked full-time as a nurse.

    I can't understand why nobody realised they'd not seen him for weeks.

    @Ingo did you see the story about the M3 Touring 24H?

    I hadn't. It looks daft but I suppose it worked for Volvo, from both a competitive and a marketing angle.

    I think it looks ace, but the best bit is that it was an April Fools gag last year and everyone said "that looks incredible, please build it" so they did. It's going to race the Nurburgring 24H this year.

    Cops confirmed a couple of days ago that his body was pulled from the water all the way over at Colwick. Poor guy.

    You're clearly dealing with some pretty awful stuff to apparently drive to a marina and get into the water with that intention.

    Might just have found yachting really challenging.

    330 odd KM to Copenhagen, so testing the adaptive cruise control. It really encourages you to sit in the middle lane and explains some of the shit driving in the UK. I'm sure you can alter the setting for the distance between yourself and the car in front before it brakes, but currently it seems to be about 500m, and then it hits the brakes. In addition, it encourages sudden lane movements rather than drifting easily across lanes because it also slams the brakes on when you are in between lanes as it still detects the car in front. I rate it half a triceratops.
