The dusty dry bones of Queen Victoria were dug up on Monday and placed upon her ample throne. Victoria ruled a quarter of the globe as queen and empress but her historic claim to be Britain’s longest reigning monarch came into question this week by Queen Elizabeth, who passed what was previously thought to be Victoria’s unpassable 63 year record.
This was simply too much to bear for royal traditionalists, who could not allow the world to change in such a radical direction. “We will restore the mortal remains of Queen Victoria to her throne, thereby securing her place in history as the longest serving British monarch”, a spokesman, who had flown in from the former African colonies, explained.
The old queen has lost a lot of weight since her burial in 1901, although remarkably her personality appears to have changed little after 114 years in the ground.
Many of Queen Elizabeth’s admirers are also stanch Victorians at heart, and were surprised and delighted to learn they can now celebrate two queens, although their look of puzzlement displayed when friends asked “Are you a <censored> idiot?” clearly caused some dissonance.
Those of you shouting “These people are beyond help and deserve all they get” are on some sort of list. Long may Victoria reign over you, and her Empire.

SP yup Christina was a one off they threw away the mould – and what a mould it must have been – when they made her!!!!! I just made the observation because there is so much agenda driven rubbish on here now qand far less craic. Hail Hail Hebcelt
It’s Friday…….. it’s five to five it’s Curvalicious
hebcelt
Agreed, you would think some guys had a template which they force over any Celtic event:))
A lot of people have gone through now sad to say, some pop up now and again but some that I liked have gone for good.
I still lurk around most days with the occasional post but 6 years ago when I stumbled in here I read every post for years, time consuming for sure but essential reading in those days.
I read back yesterdays post after coming home from a funeral and I have to say it was seminal CQN and then suddenly it was over like a bright Roman candle that burned brightly and briefly..
SP
new article posted.
Christina ya wee darling, that Bourne let ye oot tae play:))

Wow Paul what an excellently timed, right up to the minute Irony, a work of pure art made for the moment. Yer a class act Pal;-)
Crickey, the meeja are now spreading rumours to try to get sally a joab with BT Sport (or should I say get the joaby a joab …. he he) ….. BT Sport will need to be very careful …..any Celtic supporter worth his salt couldn’t stomach watching wee slealit’s fisog at all…. and….the one’s he helped to dupe into buying season tickets would go ballistic at the sight of him on TV ….anyway, not going to happen
Early start tomorrow for pittodrie….. my selection is at Chester 1.40 Dark Shot

Your hard work is much appreciated, since Burgas Hoops has acquired my nap, as I slept in I will go for
Bondi Beach 3.45 Donny since wee Frankie is away chasing his next pound on Golden Horn,
Best of luck to all in your donations to the bookies the day
It could be worth noting that Joe Fanning is going to Musselburgh today.
Richest and best race – Champion Stakes @ Leopardstown.
Gonna try the Leger meeting though.
15:10 @ Doncaster – Home Of The Brave – NAP!
Good luck everybody.
Lads, just a couple of quick observations –
1) you CAN – if you wish – nap the same horse as someone else
2) before I send out last week’s results, can someone confirm my calculations are correct for a dead heat ?
So, if our mythical CQN £1 stake goes onto a 4/1 DEAD-HEAT winner :
I make this…
half stake on winner = 50p @ 4/1 = + £2.00
half stake on loser = 50p @ n/a = – £0.50
CQN profit = + £1.50
Is that correct ?

Hoofalong 4.35 Chester … good luck everyone.
Saturdays were made for days like today :)
Wow… some great football ahead in Aberdeen and Manchester alongside fantastic racing across the cards in the UK & Ireland.
Hopefully the rain will stay away at Leopardstown and we get to see the big 3yo showdown between Golden Horn & Gleneagles.
Also looking forward to the 3.10 at Doncaster – can Limato stay the 7f… must say that I’m slightly surprised at price of Markaz (33/1) in this race, with 3yo allowance, winner over 7f, and likes the going… hmmm
but I’m sticking with the master of Ballydoyle for today’s nap :
Sherlock Holmes (Leopardstown 5.45)
