    • For me, the 'Out of the Festival' thread works like this:

      1, Open FJ
      2, Notice the OOFT thread is in bold
      3, Check time stamp
      4, Oh fuck, I've definitely missed cash out
      5, Please don't be one of mine, please, I'll be nice to everyone, even Bollinger
      6, Open thread
      7, It's one of mine - FFS, it's always one of mine
      8, Check cash out - yep, it's gone

      RINSE AND REPEAT

          For me it's either

          "You know Butlers Jig? 9th fav for the Plate? You must know Butlers Jig?? Anyway, it's been retired"

          Or

          "Huh. Guess my dad was right, this is a mugs game"

          No inbetween

                      • Just wondering does/has anyone else go abroad for Cheltenham week to watch it in the sunshine?

                        Went to Cheltenham last year for the Tuesday which was my first visit, enjoyed it but it didn't quite hit my expectations, queuing for ages outside, was in the cheap end and there was a fair few groups of young lads clearly there just to get smashed and coked up (I know we were all young once, but it was annoying) and obviously the prices are a bit daft for food and drink. I don't mind paying decent money for stuff even though I'm a Yorkshireman but it's around about the price where they are taking the piss so you feel a bit robbed. Wasn't allowed to take your drink into the area to watch the racing either so if you wanted a pint you had to go back behind the stand and almost down it inbetween races.

                        Im guessing it was the area I was in more than anything, but anyway a few of the lads along with myself wernt that keen to go back so we decided to go away for it this year and hope to make it into a yearly thing. So yeh, very long winded but has anyone else or does anyone else go abroad and how have they found it? Will be in Tenerife so if anyone has spent it there specifically then even better.

                          I've happened to be in Tenerife a few times when it's on and it's great. Cheap local beer and good weather.

                          • Not done Cheltenham there but was in Lanzarote about 3yrs ago in March and most of the bars had uk racing on TV. Keep meaning to go back for Cheltenham week in the sun.

                              TBH mate we were in Club Tuesday last year and all my mates coming for the first time were left baffled as to why I liked it so much so suspect you weren't alone there
