PWJ Posted November 24, 2019 Author Share Posted November 24, 2019 Te Rapa Race 8 (FINAL)1st - 7 Pimms 'N' Pearls W-$5.30 2nd - 2 New York Jazz Q-$26.00 Scr: 5,8,10,12-14,16,18-20 Subs: #17 or #15 17 on the Innes winner in the last with BBs for Howie, Hesi, Punter Pete, Rosina, Wandering, PJ and most important of all - John, who got his nose ahead on the line as a result crowning a perfect Joker play and walking off with 50 points - well done that man ! Lisa held 2nd and Midnight C did likewise in 3rd with TC gaining a place and 2 more points by lobbing into 4th. Missing the final winner proved costly for Jack - who led into the last but only came away with 8 points - and Blind Squirrel who saw his potential points tally halved. 6 made a profit but couldn't break into the top 10. John's big haul takes him to the top of the points tally overall with Midnight Caller moving up to 2nd with Rocky, Max and Moose right on his tail.

It hasn't worked yet but I live in hope 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a big hit with L'Amour Est L'Enfant De La Liberte. My third form French teacher hated it because he reckoned they pronounced it La Morte which made it a feminine version of 'Death is The Child of Freedom' Happy days! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hesi Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Here's a story for you When I was at Reckitt and Colman, we used to have a piss poor Xmas break up, a couple of beers and a sandwich and everyone was gone So the Sales Director and I approached the big chief and he gave us a 10k budget each year as long as we ran it The last year Reckitts was in NZ we got Satellite Spies(Destiny in Motion)in to play in the cafetaria where we had the do Firstly when they turned up, 2 grand cash in advance or no play. Try getting that past the company finance director They started setting up, literally a wall of speakers and amps Grave concerns that the cafe would be blown to bits No worries, what a pure but loud sound and a great time was had by all 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWJ Posted November 26, 2019 Author Share Posted November 26, 2019 Reminds me of when I was at Freyberg High and on the Entertainments Committee. I manage to get Dragon and Golden Harvest to play lunchtime gigs in the same week. I was a popular lad with the chickies for a while I can tell ya. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
