Tomorrow looks a busy day with 30 members of the GSTTKPA Charity Partnership calling in late morning to see their two horses Magic Money and King Simba. We are then all decamping from Thorndale and lunching at The Wheatsheaf. Henry Kimbell, who fronts the charity partnership will I am sure say a few words after lunch?

We have one runner over the weekend and that is Charbel at Musselburgh tomorrow. For my thoughts please click here.

Sue Stanley sent this one over..

A FIREMAN came home from work one day and told his wife, "You know, we have a wonderful system at the fire station: BELL 1 rings and we all put on our jackets, BELL 2 rings and we all slide down the pole, BELL 3 rings and we're on the fire truck ready to go.

"From now on when I say BELL 1.. I want you to strip naked.

When I say BELL 2.. I want you to jump in bed.

And when I say BELL 3.. We are going to make love all night. "

The next night he came home from work and yelled

" BELL 1!" The wife promptly took all her clothes off.

When he yelled "BELL 2!", the wife jumped into bed.

When he yelled " BELL 3!", they began making love.

After a few minutes the wife yelled "BELL 4!"

"What the hell is BELL 4?" asked the husband

"ROLL OUT MORE HOSE," she replied " YOU'RE NOWHERE NEAR THE FIRE."
