Double edged Q.. So yes & no. Would you trust a Lion or Tiger not eating you if you entered it's space? Probably not. But would you trust a dog to find someone trapped in an avalanche or other disaster before a human..Probably yes...
I bet you don't like your mom or other passing their eye over your desk and saying "How do you find anything in that pile" and you say.."I know where everything is"...
Sounds like good advice molly, I'll put this pen in a drawer for safe keeping. I ended up looking under my sofa, in pockets, toilet, bathroom, under my bed and then I found one about 10 mins ago in a daft place (in a boot).
I've spent the last 30mins or so looking for a pen/pencil to write something down and I can't find one in my appt. Maybe it's a sign of the times and the digital age!!!!
There is a girly lesbi-friends section on this site. But same goes for what you said, there are several men & women from your neck of the woods on this site.... Dublin is the same, south east (Wexford, Waterford etc)...
I don't understand why it (mmet ups) can't be arranged on a local level..
It seems obvious to me at least but every now and then someone say's 'Why doesn't someone arrange a 'meet up'" and yet there are loads of people on here from the same neck of the woods, so to arrange a 'meet up' of sorts, even on a local level, doesn't seem like rocket science..
Something that's been bugging me for while. There are several wee girls on here from Cork (Fraya, Molly & hen to name but a few). Anyhow, have you lot ever met up for a girly night out or other?
A the moment, a yamaha F310 that has the nut & bridge modified so a lefty like me can play. With a set of martin strings 80/20. I picked it up on ebay months ago for...10 euro in an auction.
My oldest wee girl 'borrowed' my Takamine and has forgotten to return it.
Monbeg Dude - 40/1 Finished a creditable seventh last year and although he has not won for a while he retains ability.
Corrin Wood - 66/1 Lacks a bit of experience, only having had seven runs over fences, and that may count against him.
The Rainbow Hunter - 50/1 Has suffered hard luck stories in the past two Nationals when wiped out by a loose horse.
Saint Are - 33/1 Seems to like these fences, having got around on both occasions he has tackled them; looks well treated.
Across The Bay - 50/1 Has completed the course in the past two Nationals, but very much in his own time and hard to see him in the shake-up.
Tranquil Sea - 100/1 May not perhaps be the force he once was but has jumped round here twice, albeit over shorter trips and stamina is his biggest issue.
Oscar Time - 33/1 Would defy plenty of statistics if winning but no mistaking his liking for the place; has twice been placed in the race.
Bob Ford - 100/1 Solid jumper who has never fallen; made a number of mistakes when 10th over 2m 5f here; stays much further.
Super Duty - 66/1 Lightly-raced in recent years and will need to show a lot more than on his latest outing.
Wyck Hill - 50/1 Has tons of stamina and acts on any ground; got around on only attempt at these fences and could easily play a part.
Gas Line Boy - 100/1 Stout stayer and sound jumper; but lacks a bit of pace and that might find him out.
Chance Du Roy - 40/1 Has a grand record over these fences completing the course on five of the six occasions he has attempted them, including when 6th in the 2014 race.
Portrait King - 50/1 Had some useful staying form a couple of years ago but has had a few problems since; capable on his day.
Owega Star - 50/1 Hard to fancy on recent form and generally races over shorter trips.
River Choice - 100/1 Loves the mud and may find many of these rivals have too much speed for him.
Court By Surprise - 40/1 Progressive stayer who should have perfect ground; No surprise if he makes presence felt.
Alvarado - 20/1 A fine fourth last year and has been trained with the race in mind; looks sure to run well again.
Soll - 20/1 On the upgrade and even the Handicapper admits he should have more weight; solid chance.
Ely Brown - 100/1 Appears to have lost his way and, with only four chase races behind him, lacks experience.
Royale Knight - 20/1 Stays really well and has already won the Durham and Borders National; may lack a bit of class but is a tough cookie.
Lord Windermere - 33/1 Won 2014 Cheltenham Gold Cup but has not looked the same horse since; solid jumper and these fences may revitalise him. Visored for the first time.
Many Clouds - 25/1 Won Hennessy Gold Cup in style but below par in Gold Cup last time; jumps well and stays; give in ground would suit.
Unioniste - 22/1 <---Gotta be owned by a west Brit Consistent and sound jumper; has good record at the track although tackles these fences for first time.
Rocky Creek - 9/1 Great effort when fifth last year; looked back to his best when winning at Kempton last time; acts on any going.
First Lieutenant - 16/1 Formerly very smart but has not won since landing 2013 Betfred Bowl over smaller fences here.?
Balthazar King - 10/1 Runner-up a year ago and 15th in 2013; jumps well and stays well. Has had lighter campaign this time and should turn in another solid effort.
Shutthefrontdoor - 7/1 Winner of Irish National and has been trained all year for this race. Solid credentials.
Pineau De Re - 20/1 Won by five lengths a year ago but suspicion is that effort has left a mark for he has shown little sparkle this season.
Ballycasey - 25/1 This trip will test him to limit but has assistance of jockey with great Aintree record.
Spring Heeled - 20/1 Consistent and a really capable jumper who has never fallen. Should run well.
Rebel Rebellion - 40/1 Usually races over much shorter distances. Took well to the fences in December (over 2m 5f).
Dolatulo - 50/1 Finished eighth over these fences despite a few jumping errors in Grand Sefton (2m 5f) and has bit to prove on stamina front.
Mon Parrain - 33/1 Capable of decent form and got around both times he tackled these fences; should be concerned in finish.
Night In Milan - 25/1 Game stayer who rarely runs a bad race; not at his best when ground is very soft.
Rubi Light - 50/1 Good jumper who has a 100 per cent survival record but he may struggle on stamina front.
The Druids Nephew - 14/1 Won a Cheltenham Festival handicap with authority last time; appears to act on any going.
Cause Of Causes - 16/1 Came into his own when set a stamina test at the Cheltenham Festival, staying on strongly to win over 4m; good jumper.
Godsmejudge - 16/1 Won Scottish National in 2013 and was runner-up last year so stamina not an issue. Could be thereabouts.
Al Co - 25/1 Won 2014 Scottish Grand National and ran well in prep race over hurdles; Disappointed over these fences in December
