Grand National
not like i'm averse to a flutter but in 6 years, always noticed the buzz around grand national weekend but never participated until my time here in wilkinson eyre. £1 a horse and we got to partake in a lucky dip for a punt. colnel rayburn - no, not a typo - just a badly named horse with a misspelling. like the independent predicted it'll never win and would be "a disgrace to have a misspelt name engraved on the trophy" - and it didn't. at odds of 33-1, numbersixvalverde crossed the finish line first. noone in the team, now at work on a saturday, had that horse to his name although all are claiming it.
work on a saturday? novelty of novelties, we're actually getting paid for it as we're chasing a (chinese) deadline. and we got sushi lunch ordered in for us yesterday and a top drawer italian lunch bought in from the deli by the boss himself. it was fantastic - wine, fresh italian food and cheese in the sun on the office terrace. it almost made coming in on a weekend worthwhile.
