    I like the "dress code" at Aintree in particular.

    All the Scouse birds turn up dressed as slappers and prostitutes.

    I'm not into horse racing at all but Aintree is a good watch.

    Never been to Royal Ascot but have been to Champions Day. One of the best sporting occasions in the calendar and very jealous. Have a great time both of you.

    I have done a £20 double on Ribchester in the first at Evens and Lady Aurelia at 10/3. Hoping it comes in but very competitive racing all week.

    We don't go in one of 'posh' stands so you can wear pretty much anything. The missus loves to dress up for it and I've got a fetching little off the shoulder number showing just a bit of knee and cleavage.

    One thing for sure at least one of the 'youngsters' on the coach will be flat out on the lawns having thrown up. I keep telling em it's all about pace, it's all about pace.

    We went on a coach trip to Royal Ascot probably 1978. When we got there we had the choice of going into the main stand area containing the paddocks. It sounded a bit of a rip off but we went for it. A really good decision. We were able to wander freely amongst the jockeys (Carson, Piggot, Eddery etc). Going to the paddock it came as a bit of shock when I found myself walking along next to the Queen, Princess Margaret (looking for the bar) and others. A good day out.

    Always meant to ask this Q but is that you doing the handstand?

    I take an avid interest in horse racing and my money will be on Marsha in the 3-40...10/3 still readily available but being backed advise to do it tonight and wait near the counter to pick up your winnings.......always the optimist.

    That's me! Taken in thee late 80's at our old place. Even though I am far from the house I have got no shoes on and my socks are very damp. I must have been pi55ing around for the kids. I certainly cannot remember being able to do that. And I have my glasses on
