Plus 9 and raining when driving in.

Yesterdays memorial service for Mike Tucker in Cirencester was huge. Standing room only and a stunningly warm service for an extraordinary man.

From there I trained to London from Kemble for a Grand National dinner with Andrew Bengough, Dermot Daly, Neal Griffiths, Mark Horne, Freddie Schiff, Fionn O'Brien and others at Whites..

A late one, but thankfully Peter Kerr was there to drive home…

David Bass was in this morning..

We jumped El Presente, General Picton, Dueling Banjos and Chateau Robin.. worked a few too.

A wife took her husband to a strip club as a birthday treat.

The doorman greeted them, "Hi Jim! How are you?"

"How does he know you?" asked the wife. "Oh dear, I play football with him," said Jim.

Inside, the bartender asked, "Hello Jim! The usual?"

Jim turned to his wife. "Before you say anything, he and I are on the darts team."

Then a stripper walked up to them. "Hi Jim! You craving the Special again?" she giggled.

The wife had enough and stormed out, dragging Jim along and pulling him into a taxi with her.

The cab driver turned around. "Hey Jimmy Boy! You picked up a butt ugly one this time ..."

Jim's funeral is on Saturday.
