St Nicholas Abbey

If one thing can be learned from the horseracing history books, it is that Racing Post Trophy winners, if truly top class, DON'T win the following year's 2,000 Guineas. They win the Dante and/or Derby! Sometimes!

How DARE they call it Democracy!

For me the single most important aspect of the whole "debate thing" is that Gordon (the Unelected) Brown has at last done something right, by yet another gaffe. Which, by the way, must surely have been OKayed by Mandleson (the Unelected) Meddler too!!!!
