      Let's hope so. I think it's smoke and mirrors too, certainly am hoping that way. However, Mullins has too much respect for Bob and will avoid the clash surely. The main risk to the switch is if Bob gets injured, but if he stays fit and makes the Festival, think we're all golden and GDC will be doing the business for us in the RSA.

      Never say never in this game though and in the spirit of that I've just slavishly and begrudgingly laid my Galopin stake and backed the Turners to be on the safe side - good shout Saxon.

      My anxiety is starting to mount the closer we get to March, that much is true.

        Your starting to sound like Tony Hadley singing a Gary Kemp lyric.

        "I Know This, Much Is.....T-R-UUUUUE"

        Ive had to put that video on Youtube now, for a big singalong.

          Despite your invaluable insight on all things horseracing, your taste in music clearly shows the old adage is true - nobody's perfect

            I have a very wide span of musical appreciation, but being 17 in 1980 when new Romantics took over the charts, they will always have a solid base in my musical heart.

            PS: Of all those pulled into the New Romantic genre Japan (led by David Sylvian) will always be the standout best of the lot, for me.

            Pity they fizzled out pretty quickly after finally breaking through into the mainstream charts.

            Their "Quiet Life" albums remains one of my favourite, over 40 years later.

            That's going on next, with Meat Loaf's "Bat Out Of Hell" to follow, in tribute to the two great men.
            RIP Jim Steinman and Meat Loaf

            • In terms of music taste and mentioning Jim Steinman, Meatloaf, and David Sylvian Sax, two out of three ain't bad!
              Luck is a dividend of sweat. The more I sweat, the luckier I get.

                That's a "Hattie" 3 out of 3 in my world.

                It's a great place to be, jukebox on, racing and formbook on tap.

                      I treated myself to an 1800 on my 50th birthday - it's a year younger than me and sounds loads better.

                      I think that was the last model they produced before stereo came in.

                        Fantastic.

                        Jukeboxes can need a heap of room.

                        I remember looking round a big site full of shipping containers all of them containing jukeboxes, pinball games, and other arcade games.

                        Fascinating place, probably doesnt exist any more.

                        Could hardly drag myself away.

                          If ever you're near Stourbridge this shop is well worth a visit. They ship container loads of jukeboxes from the US and restore them in the basement. They're happy to show you round and they have loads of fully restored ones upstairs in the shop. The restored ones look brand new. I just went for new speakers/amp electrics and kept all the dents - the scars of a rock 'n' roll lifestyle should be worn with pride - and it was a damn sight cheaper doing it that way.

                              For me that sounds like Lydia wasn't considering it then but is now.......

                              • The GDC and BO swapping is a load of old balderdash isn't it.
                                Its a cracking hypothetical headline to create news and discussion, IMO of course.
