Good morning Artur. I do recall the moment Stina was inaugurated into the +10 club. I think she probably joined that club on more than one occasion. When the legendary John Holmes nodded his agreement on that occasion I rember Stina giving him a real oral roasting.
I know you'll be reminiscing about our visit to the Cheltenham Festival in 2002 as guests of JP McManus. Stina and Olaf loved a flutter on the Gee Gee's. JP informed us to bet big on Flagship Überalles as this was its year to win the Queen Mother Championship Chase, Richard Johnson the jockey. JP told us to bet with a particular on course bookie, John Galloway & Son "The Real Bookie" he called himself. We all had a flutter but we weren't aware that Stina had wagered £5g on a win. Stina was delighted with the win and ran straight to get her winnings. She got there as the bookie was trying to pack up and leg it. Stina got her money and the John Boy was sent off the course by the authorities. Stina told us she had a feeling he wasn't to be trusted, anyone calling themselves "The Real" anything are altogether shady. Yes a lesson was learned that day Artur.I still laugh when it crossed the line and Stina said she'd like to ride the Flagship one day, you Artur told her she already had. Great memories.

It's been a busy morning Artur but I have to finish early today as I'm going to Anstruther for Fish & Chips with Mrs KS. She loves the fish as did Stina. Have a good day Artur.

Good evening Private Reggie. I don't understand what you mean by waffle. It was a great memorie of being at the races with Stina. I have no interest in who TRTD is or anyone else for that matter. I was merely reminding Artur of John Galloway the racecourse bookie. He was a character. Long live Stina the great.
