Melbourne Cup Day
There is good news and bad news...........
Today, 5 November 2024 is the Melbourne Cup Day Public Holiday.  There are three cruise boats in town.  The sun is shining and the sky is blue and the temperature is around 25° C. For once Melbourne weather is perfect. That's where the good news ends:

I was told at an early age - Only back an absolute certainty, which as everyone knows does not exist. There are folk who believe otherwise which keeps bookmakers in business.
I also can pick winners, the only certainty being that if I back them then they will lose, probably spectacularly.

Like Malcolm, I was also warned off betting at an early age, but my Dad did a bit of reverse psychology.When I mentioned betting on horses, he replied "How many poor bookmakers do you think there are?"
However, Mum did win 5 shillings on the football pools once. Vernons I think. (Dad did the Littlewoods coupon, because they paid out more he said!)

I note, with some......, that the winning Jockey was Irish. Have you none of your own?

I was tempted to say that he was one of your mob but decided not to give you the credit.
Irish horses are bad enough .........................

Motown saved us from the Ink Spots. But there are 4 of them and we don't know if they have Red Edged Bibles?
