I wouldn't know. I stopped reading the diaries months ago. At least having them all in the same section allows me to mark them all read with one click.

Someone should really make it a seperate sub-forum so you don't have to see it at all if you don't want to.

Very fair, one in particular is completely laughable. Anyway, get your diary up you moany old goat!

It annoys me how much it annoys me, which annoys me even more.
Not sure if it's my gradual creep up the spectrum or that I'm a curmudgeon.
I should stop looking really. It's my own fault.

Are they really that Bad ??., I think your'e probably right , that the original intention was to note.
why you'd made the bet etc. But most times i think this is covered / discussed in the relevant threads .
I expect mine is crap , but i don't make a diary entry for every bet . I just update the main Page .
In fact i just spent the whole morning trying to tidy it all up , sort all the scraps of paper out !! . - Ima Old Fashioned Twat !.
And i Do read all the diary updates , at least once a week..
Last but not least Q , what's a Curmudgeon ??. When it's at Home ??..

Does all this mean nobody wants to hear about my 6 timer yesterday rolling on to Facile vega @ 999,999/1 !?

A curmudgeon is not far off an 'old fashioned twat' but with a touch of grouchiness.
Pretty sure you're too cheerful for full blown curmudgeon status

I've always fancied being a curmudgeon, but I've found that being a malcontented bellyaching sourpuss takes up all my time

Read through a few this morning and came to the same conclusion on some. Cheltenham completely pointless to some surely. Must be millionaires from the roll up bets already!

Not sure I really agree with the term / principal of roll ups in general to be honest. But any that aren't put up before the event is completely ridiculous to record. If they're genuine just keep them offline, simple.

There's also some that have very good content though. So harsh to judge the whole section imo. A few are extremely useful and a few others are an interesting read. But as Quevega has said, reading some actually annoys me an unreasonable amount as well

Means nothing if you picked the wrong race for Facile Vega

Schoolboy error forgetting to do one with any race

It's come to mean any multiple bet but it was never meant to be just a double.

I've a vague memory of the first time I heard the term being used. I'm pretty sure it was in the 60s or 70s and the tipster, Robin Goodfellow, nominated a horse each day where, if it won, the winnings were rolled up on to the next day's selection. Clearly, you could stop whenever you wanted but the Mail always carried on until it lost. They were always very short prices but I seem to remember they got over 20 on one occasion. I think it was actually called the Daily Mail Roll Up.

didn't know you could do that.

Click on the Members Only sub forum and at the bottom of the index page there's an invitation to 'Mark This Channel Read'. Clicking that saves you hours of misery. You can do the same for the whole forum from the main index page.

Another useful post on prixdelahorse by Adam - 100 French imports to IRE/UK this year. As expected Willies stable looks to be jam packed.

wee reminder if you want to rewatch any French replays, French Gallops is your site. Sign up is free, drop the horses name into the search bar and you can go from there. Google translate is native on most devices these days so language barrier shouldn’t be an issue for the old timers!

….for anybody interested, I’ve popped a link to the Joe Tizzard stable tour in the stable tour thread.

Good knowledge this. Make a bit more sense in the old context.

Vaguely remember ATC being a common thing a while back. I'm very much an outsider these days but not sure that's too common place anymore.

A straight double, or even upwards with no relationship and the non Cheltenham events all being today (with only one Cheltenham selection) makes very little sense imo. But of course, as long as they're put up before the race, that's just a personal betting preference from me.
