Exciting changes are planned for The Sports Exchange as we near our 2nd anniversary. The founders, me and J2O (the soft drink gambler of great renown previously known as J2E) have been much occupied with our other ventures: J2O on his sports cafe in Pangbourne "The Ditty"; and me on a stem cells pharmaceutical development programme.

Neither lend…

More stirrings from the Thames riverbank.

Your correspondent sampled Boeuf Bourguignon at the DITTY Sports Cafe in Pangbourne today, a dish that brought the sight and smell of  true French cuisine to this smart commuter-belt fleshpot.

John Tuohy's new boutique gastropod rightly basked in long-awaited March sunshine as his top chef, Mo, finessed his personal take on this classic French peasant dish from Burgundy - warming up ahead of the Ditty's French evening later…

See some serious reaction to the sex discrimination row on the box last night. Heather Rabbatts weighed in with effect and authority, she must have seen it all in and around her time at Millwall - bet they dont stand any nonsense!

Have a look at this seasonal sparkler from Betfair on their corporate site at: http://bit.ly/e2Ipoc

The boss, Mr Yu, predicts years of strong growth generated from: "... well-invested technology platform position the Group strongly for growth in the years to come, together with the potential for…

There's no doubt the racing industry considers it badly let down by the government's floundering funding efforts - bodging the treatment of off-shore bookies and exchanges, and now seeking to sell the Tote, an important part of racing's current funding.

So its good to hear that the BHA is pledged to support an effort to set up the Tote as a charitable foundation. Rather than a sale to the self-same industry structures of exchanges, off-shore bookies and the like.…

Well here it is again, the Great Seasonal Tote Chase, quite a large field of possible buyers, current estimates of likely sales value dropped a lot since the last 'fix', now stands at £250m (was £400m in 2008).

Contrast with the market cap of Betfair at and after its recent flotation - some pointers here for Sports_Punter maybe, who has been seeking to rationalise the unrationalisable, see his learned efforts at…
