Yerra, that was only a bit of friendly banter

The_Dunph · September 27, 2009, 10:23pm

Are fella’s still falling for the three card trick?

It amazes me that anyone would be foolish enough to take on those boys…

I had to literally drag a member of our party from clonmel away from the coont on the wednesday of last year, this fooker had already dropped 3k during the course of the week.

That’s the thing i suppose, there’d always be a few mugs that have been cleaned out at the races who would try literally anything to recoup their losses…

The_Puke · September 27, 2009, 10:32pm

tis like that auld yarn you were telling me saturday night:D :D…

The_Runt · September 27, 2009, 10:33pm

Was that the lad from the midlands? Wasn’t he coin tossing with SS’s group for 50’s?

't was Steve Capall in the Captain Christy Novice Chase, Dunph. The worst I’ve ever seen. Absolutely terrible, he was no slouch either.

The_Dunph · September 27, 2009, 10:37pm

Ah yeah that was a good one, i’ve a few more for you the next night though… I’ve a mighty yarn about a garda check-point.

The_Dunph · September 27, 2009, 10:38pm

Steve Capall. That’s Hector’s horse. Sure he won at Galway and again since. Terrible news.

SHANNONSIDER · September 27, 2009, 10:39pm

That’s Whacker you’re thinking of. I had him over with a coin with two harps on it. He kept picking heads.

The_Dunph · September 27, 2009, 10:39pm

Was a double sided coin?

SHANNONSIDER · September 27, 2009, 10:41pm

Ah it was desperate stuff, Dunph. Desperate, desperate stuff.

SHANNONSIDER · September 27, 2009, 10:46pm

They smell a rat if a coin doesn’t have two sides Dunph. I had a man splice two coins specially for me.

The_Dunph · September 27, 2009, 10:48pm

:D:clap:

Also, just watched the race we were on about.

Are you saying the horse got up again and jumped the last fence??

Have you ever seen the Cincinnati Kid, Dunph?

I’m a bit like the Lancy character only better looking.
