Saw Clarry at Ciaron Maher stable doing interviews yesterday.

Update on horse he is in with me. Has been disappointing lately and it is having probably its last start for us on saturday, in race 4 at Edenhope.

It’s number 1 and prophetically called     “ centre square “.

Tbh, I only took a share, ignoring my usual selection methods, because Clarry was involved.

Have you ever heard of MyRacehorse Redleg? Apparently gives people a chance to have micro-shares in a horse.

    Must be a syndicator.

    Good way to have an interest in a racehorse cheaply.

    If you like clams, I have Vongole running in the last at Moonee Valley friday night.

    Ran 3rd, a great effort for a 9 year old.

    Probably have 1-2 more runs before retirement.

    Don't forget Centre Square in race 4 today at Edenhope, with Clarry and me as part owners.

    Vongole having probably his last start on friday at Cranbourne in race 7 at 9.15 PM.

    Still trying hard to win at 9 years old.

    Won't mention the Dees atm, as a few of them are looking like they are retiring too, the way they are playing.

    Strange this thread transitioned from bananas to racehorses.

    The closest thing to a crossover I can think of is MarioKart.

    Being the author of this thread I thought I would be the first to post under the new upgraded DL.

    Perhaps someone can help me out here. On another thread a poster used the familiar term "first world" - as in first world issue. Obviously, the term "third world" is used often and is familiar. But has anyone heard the term "second world" used or written anywhere? I cannot ever remember it being used - and while i can guess, what does "second world" actually mean?

    Happy to help you out, Froggy.

    Originating during the Cold War, countries were classed as:

    First World - Aligned with the Western bloc, led by the USA

    Second World - Aligned with the Eastern bloc, led by the Soviet Union

    Third World - Non-aligned and developing nations

    You're spot on with your observation that "Second World" is not a term we ever hear.

    Thanks D, I've never heard of that explanation. I've always wrongly assumed that first world meant advanced countries, third word meant the poorest nations, and i simply guessed that second world was the inbetweeners. You live and learn!

    What are you doing in here, Mr Stone?!😄

    Speculatively answering my own question: Lifting its erudition?

    These days they like to use 'developed' and 'developing' nations. They don't have a term for 'going backwards at a rate of knots' nations.

    Another popular one is 'NICs'; Newly industrialised countries, which is a blanket term for countries which have added industrial capacity by underbidding developed country industry thanks to shooting anyone who asks for a pay rise and not minding if their is heavy metals waste in the mains water. Basically 'growing GDP, no civil society'.

    An old one from 'Yes, Prime Minister', is of course TLPACs. 'Tin-pot little African country'. Never caught on in the mainstream, for some reason.

    Speaking of smoothies, the banana smoothie still remains the best IMO.

    The green smoothie can be wretch inducing, the berry smoothie can fill the mouth with seeds and the Acai smoothie can be very rich and sickly sweet.

    Ran 4th tried hard and retired.

    With Witts, Moyle, Knobel and Read at the Suns, Kalani’s choice should be pretty easy.

    We will need to draft another ruckman in the next year or two, or trade one in.

    As well as getting Kalani.

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
