Gone to the dog's
 
We went greyhound racing on saturday night. Made for a rather entertaining evening, as I'd never been before. Geez can those buggers move!. Picked a few winners, but came home with less money than we started with. The stadium was pretty big, infact most 2nd and 3rd division football teams would be jellous. Shame all the local indian casino's have taken all the punters away.

I used to love going to the Greyhounds. Haven't been in over 20 years. Must venture out and go again now I am in a state that allows it.

Cheers

Used to go as a nipper to Pompey dog track. Remember seeing Mick Channon there, first time I had ever heard an adult use the 'F" word.

Walthamstow Dogs 1-5-6 reverse forecast - come home with money every time! Never had a fr**ing clue what it meant, but the lassie behind the window kept paying....didn't klnow htey had dog tracks over here - went to see the pig racing at Houston Rodeo a few months back - highly entertaining, but no betting!
