George Best comes to mind reading above.

Johnny Cawcutt, Stan Amos, Paddy McGivern, DanaSiganberg, all legends but one guy who would have been a true champ died early in life Johnny Garcia. My old man told me about all these great riders and Bert Abercrombie as well when going to the course was a big thing in those days as they all dressed up for the members section and had to get in early so that they could get parking. Milnerton Ascot was a bee hive of activity on a Saturday and Kenilworth used to be packed to the rafters with at least 30 bookies in operation in the three rings. He said thay you could haggle for a better price because of all the competition of bookies. The King Loius Miller was one oak that was not afraid. By what I read SA racing is at its lowest point ever and by 2030 it will be back to two or three meetings a week country wide. Maybe too much running ie everyday and also lots of people get into it for a tax rebate/prestige/hobby and not for the pure love of it, but worse of all been a brag gat about owning a horse even if you own a mere 5%.

Fair enough, Easy. Sometimes genius is the product of some inner demon, I suppose.

There is a thin line between genius and insanity X(

@ scotia

i know i walk the line every day......

for a clever oke like me its amazing how sometimes i just go " f uck it " and i take a jackpot 1 x f x f x f because i think mmmmmm well its about time number 1 wins the race. No form, no phonecalls nothing. just banker , pay up and watch it run last.

Physcologically i think that sometimes i do this "hoping i lose" because then i am forced to use my brains/skill to recoup my losses and that is so so exciting.

I dont do this often but i must say that every once in a while i do "blow out" and i play horses/casino with the skill of a 1 year old.

Genius is born, its not something that is bought and paid for

I retract my statement. Your above post was too sharp for me on a Saturday morning. You are very quick witted today. What was in your coffee?

dont drink coffee but if i did it would be sourced from the best beans and at the best possible price. I would NOT fall for the fair trade bollocks.

they say the best coffee is poop from and animal in the east

Kopi Luwak coffee comes from the Indonesian island of Sumatra, an area well-known for its excellent coffee. Also native to the area is a small civit-like animal called a Paradoxurus. That's the scientific name, the locals call them luwaks. These little mammals live in the trees and one of their favorite foods is the red, ripe coffee cherry. They eat the cherries, bean and all. While the bean is in the little guy's stomach, it undergoes chemical treatments and fermentations. The bean finishes its journey through the digestive system, and exits. The still-intact beans are collected from the forest floor, and are cleaned, then roasted and ground just like any other coffee.

The resulting coffee is said to be like no other. It has a rich, heavy flavour with hints of caramel or chocolate. Other terms used to describe it are earthy, musty and exotic. The body is almost syrupy and it's very smooth.

One must wonder about the circumstances that brought about the first cup of Kopi Luwak coffee. Who would think to (or even want to) collect and roast beans out of animal feces? Perhaps a native figured it was easier to collect the beans from the ground this way, rather than having to work harder and pick them from the trees? We'll likely never know. But because of the strange method of collecting, there isn't much Kopi Luwak produced in the world. The average total annual production is only around 500 pounds of beans.

Because of the rarity of this coffee, the price is quite outrageous. If you can find a vendor, the current cost for a pound of Kopi Luwak is around $300 or more. Some more adventurous coffee houses are selling it by the cup, but you won't likely find it at your local coffee shop just yet. The coffee isn't so spectacular that it's truly worth that amount of money. You are paying for the experience of enjoying such an unusual and rare delicacy.

Fark me.... I reckon you smoking those coffee beans:
