Chief Stipe

I can cut Rosso some slack as well. He interviewed me after the horse our syndicate owned won the Taranaki Cup. Very knowledgeable. Smart guy. Plus he said some nice things on TV on the Sunday show at the time. I'd hate to call Greyhound races - the only thing Early is good at!

Sisters of Mercy - NOT. Got enlarged knuckles and that's not from dragging them on the ground.

I'm just having a sensitive moment the image looked like one of my primary school teachers Sister Mary.

Bucket of compost. New potatoes for Christmas!

No it wasn't deleted. Just hidden. I don't want to make viewers sick!

Guys I appreciate the humour but I don't want BOAY to lose its way. BOAY's niche is focusing on Racing and Sports opinion.

No but I did put some posters on the lamp posts in Kohi - "Has anyone seen Thomass?"

What length heels? I assume if they are your Mrs's they are foot stabbers.

Perhaps they are reading BOAY?

Is that a 'tongue in cheek' comment? Isn't Te Rapa one of those Iconic tracks that are well funded and managed by the racing elite of Waikato? How much centrally managed can you get?

Would unpaid dividends actually be a lot? What is the percentage of bets that are done through tickets rather than online? If online obviously they go against the bettor's account until they withdraw it.

I hope they don't rip the sand slits or the new drains.
