The DP World Tour event this weekend at Trump International Aberdeen. The main sponsor a Crypto investment company seems the perfect fit.

Fine character actor. He was made for the Robbie Box role. He’d had been living with dementia by all accounts.

Excellent

How times change.

In 1867, Russia sold Alaska to the United States for $7.2 million.

157 years later, Russia owns the White House, and they didn't fork out a single dime.

Tbf he didn’t train or own it when it ran in a bumper. Probably cost buttons when it changed hands. Still some rate of improvement for a trip.

He’ll probably claim it back on expenses. Lowe by name low by nature.

Just reading that Connor Brace has retired. He won a conditional jockeys race at Cheltenham on a horse I had a share in, Benny’s Bridge. Lovely lad, his talent deserved more rides. I wish him well.

Soba 1982 was an easy winner and a special rag to riches mare.

The couple who bankrolled Liz Truss leadership campaign (declared parliamentary donations). That worked out so well.

“I don’t care where the money comes from”. Well you should.

This Sheffield Wednesday situation is very distressing for the fans. A club with a long history in the English game. It should be a warning to all fans and the FA/PremLeague/EFL. A rigorous fit and proper persons test is needed. It’s very easy to love an owner who comes in and splashes the £

Mr Free Lunch, you bet.

Hard to disagree with any of your Thread Steve. Of course, we now have the added threat of AI shrinking the jobs market. At some point the penny must drop with these oligarchs that you can’t keep growing personal wealth without consumers. At least not in a democracy.

It’s a terrible why me column from man with gambling problem (see Tennis bet). He obviously doesn’t have a problem getting on.

Baring injury or divine intervention both the Tour de France and The Open appear over. Bit of Sunday viewing anticlimax.

This is a nothing story. Blatant marketing. Cyclist have used it and promoted it for sometime. They will be wearing Rolex’s in post race interviews soon.

You don’t get to be a Sun columnist without asking deep philosophical questions.

Supertramp were pretty much unknown in 1970. Quite incredible they were on the bill.

Many years ago, I remember Sir Mark Prescott saying his first thought in the morning was “I do hope that Mr Wylie is OK”. I have the opposite thought about Trump each morning.

I remember doing something similar with Old Vic. Unfortunately there was this horse called Nashwan. Fortunately I’ve long since been cured of ante-post betting on the Flat.

I pick this up at Record Store day a few years ago. The most I’ve ever paid for an album. Almost to good play.

I’ve got to ask the question Merlyn. Are you an Allman Brothers Band fan?
I don’t know why this has just occurred to me.

It’s absolutely soul destroying Joe.

Fines for top clubs who break financial fair play rules is an absolute waste of time. It’s like fining Thames Water for polluting rivers, it’s priced in and they will continue to do it. A more effective punishment is expulsion from competition. UEFA haven’t the balls.
