AND THEY"RE OFF!!

[Greebo]

Any one got a tip for the Melbourne Cup?
I am having a small wager on Holy Orders (my gott!).
$10 at 50 to 1
If it wins I think I'll buy another snake!
Any other ppl got a tip?

(Limit one tip per member...don't be a mug and tip half a dozen, thats just a cop out!)

 

[africancichlidau]

My tip? Don't bet on it

 

[zoe]

pinkie and i will pick whoever has the prettiest colours

 

[Nicole]

Tumeric!
I'll give that a go...

 

[Greebo]

A friend of mine uses the same system Zoe!
The most annoying part is that it seems to work.

When I go to the races I always back grey horses. That way, no matter how drunk I get I can always tell which horse is mine.

My tip? Don't bet on it

C'mon Phil thats very Un-Australian!

 

[zoe]

lol greebs but the grey ones aren't as pretty. u gotta pick a pretty one too.
last year i picked the one that walked like it had a stick up its ****...not deliberately of course....

 

[africancichlidau]

Don't bet on my tip is what I meant Greebs

 

[zoe]

suuuuure

It's a mug's game. I suggest keeping your money in your wallet. You're on a sure winner if you do.

 

[Nicole]

Awww c'mon Greg, it's the one bet I make all year - it's un-australian if you don't

 

[Gregory]

Nicole, Nicole, Nicole. It doesn't take a horse race to be an Australian and to be called unAustralian because I choose not to be interested in it is highly offensive.
It is just a horse race. A horse race, a bunch of horses running around in circles.


Don't forget who cooks your steaks Nicole. :wink:

 

[Nicole]

Okay, okay, special dispensation for you Greg, as anyone who performs that well at the barbie couldn't be anything but totaly dinky-di....

..besides I'll get all excited about the horsies enough for the both of us
Forgive me, I can't help it, ever since we were all marched into the school hall in kindergarten to watch it, I've always loved the Melbourne Cup.

It's great being in hospitality today and the one day a year I don't mind being at work. There are some great sights around the Hotel

 

[Slateman]

[Kirov_grrl]
