Plus 15 and dry when driving in.

They do a good job at Southwell and for a small racecourse they try hard.

Sadly I am not sure Gerard Mentor needs to go there again as it is the second time he has fallen at the last.

A man and his wife check into a hotel.

The husband wants to have a drink at the bar, but his wife is extremely tired so she decides to go to their room to rest.

She lies down on the bed. Suddenly a train passes by very close to the window and shakes the room.

Thinking this must be a freak occurrence, she lies down once more. Again a train shakes the room and throws her onto the floor.

Just then the husband walks in.

“Would you believe I’m waiting for a train?” the manager says.
