Stockbridge Duck Race

[hfc1875]

Pity about that tip dude

It was absolutely shocking .Never in contention, they let the Johnston filly nick the race, nothing got involved. Think I will just stick with my own selections from now on and stop relying upon info.

I got bit carried away when I had a good run of winners in April and May from various contacts but will be a little more selective with them now.most of it just bad luck, though that last horse was just utter crap. As I said, I'll revert back to only the strongest info.

My apologies dude.

 

[Dub]

My apologies dude.

No bother Jamie. I've got some sheets in the house so I will pm you with the numbers later on mate. I'll get the cash of you in the pub sometime or from your mate in the kitchen [sorry, not sure of his name].

I'm on a football night out on Friday night Iain and we're hitting the crazy scene that is St. Stephen Strasse, starting off in the antiquary but I'll pop along and purchase some cold lager for us.I'll also square you up for the quakers.

You'll be about, right?

I'll be in the bailie about 5.30/6.00 until near collapse sets in and I stagger off into the sunset. Hopefully i'll manage to catch you for a pint M A pound to a seagulls sh1t that the lager in the tic is flat before the glass hits the bar

Really mate? words will be had with Andy if thats the case.

I'll deffo be along to see you mate, I must be due you at least a couple of beers by now

I wouldnt drop my name in. They were getting fed up of me handing back flat lager and then drinking best instead. 3.15 for a pint - I want it to be a proper pint. At least in the Bailie they dont argue, they simply change it if you ask.

I wouldnt dream of mentioning you mate, and we might just be too pished to notice anyway!

As for the Baillie, it's better service cos it's better owned and run :smug:

Re: Stockbridge Duck Race - prize update

I am advised by the duck king that they have managed to obtain 2 x tickets for T-in-the-park Sunday 14th July so hopefully they will go to a music lover Of course there are a lot of other prizes as well [approx 130 in total and possibly more].

 

[beefy]

Love that pic of the HUGE duck from the other year. Anyone got it?

It's not this one.

Or this one.

This one Stu :hmmm

 

[georgethebandit]

Once you get your numbers from dub you buy other ducks from the internet, write your number on the duck and go down stream and throw it in the river.

Works every year for me:laff:

 

[hfc1875]

Will we find out the winning ducks the same day ????? TITP sounds gid like...Dub if i win i will take you ??? Ok chief ? Can wardens play ??? If you win you can take me ROFL.You have my numbers mate, wink wink nudge nudge.

 

[Dub]

What time will you be chucking the said ducks at, I know roughly the bridge your on about but where is the best place to stand to get a video camera :coffee: what way is downstream? :dunno:

towards hamilton place or towards saunders street

Downstream is towards leith so hamilton place it is. Best place for a Vid is a tough one, it's hopefully going to be busy. If you want to cath the end rather than the start [the end is more fun] you should go round to the next bridge and get yourself a spot there. I'll be in the pub about 2.00 if you are coming down earlier and you can get Ginty and Stevi's pov on that.

Murray - I wouldnt go to TITP if you paid me mate.

Head for here Ray Duck off is 3.00 sharp and the stockbridge is a couple of mins down the road. Park anywhere except the usual double yellows, zizags etc. Single Y's and permit spots are fair game mate

I tried to paper over that glaring error Woody. I really should have gone in for the kill, I know, but I must have had a moment of weakness.

Myths and Facts:

Myth: If it's not raining, then there is no danger from lightning.

Fact: Lightning often occurs as far as 10 miles away from any rainfall, in or around the future path of the storm.



Myth: Rubber shoe soles and auto tires will protect you from being struck.

Fact: These provide NO protection. The steel frame of a hardtop vehicle provides some protection, if you are not touching metal inside.



Myth: After being struck by lightning, a person carries an electrical charge, and should not be touched.

Fact: Not true. Attend to the victim without delay, CPR may be needed immediately.



Myth: "Heat lightning" without sound poses no threat, it simply occurs after very hot summer days.

Fact: This is from a thunderstorm too far away for the thunder to be heard. It may be moving in your direction.

Vehicles have a farrady cage which dissipates lightning.

We will be there about the same time. Hopefully if everything goes to plan
