This board needs a sweep on the Grand National, somehow. Not that I am claiming to know how it would work. Maybe if we had a sweep then the winner would get to sign off every post they make for a year with 'King Sweep Winner' or something.
If there are any better ideas than that, I'd like to hear them.
I really, really would like to hear them
Eurotrek will win
Sorry to spoil it.
Why don't
we all pm you, and you assign us a horse at random?
See
that is all well and good, but there is nothing to play for, see? How much fun is a sweep where there is nothing to win/lose?
True
I'm just trying to help. Bragging rights are always good.
If
people are happy with bragging rights, then I am happy to sort it out
couldn't you have just started another truck thread?
How do I change my profile picture?
1/ load your profile
2/ use a marker pen to draw on the picture.
Now
I look like you!
i'm sorry to hear that
look at it this way, though - at least you've already snared a woman loooool
lol
I just drew a penis on yours. IN INDELIBLE INK!!!!!
LOL
so now there are two penises on my photo?
does that make it gay porn?
sorry
busy cleaning a penis off my monitor.
I thought "indelible" meant you shouldn't eat it.
should I send you some money?
do you want me to send you some money?
Yes.
Yes
When is it?
This
Saturday
Is
that
So?
money?
do you want some money?
Ok
I'll get a list of the horses and number them all 1-40, or whatever, and then draw them out of a hat. I shall send someone else the list so they can see that it is a fair draw.
If you want in, post your name and a number between 1-40 here. I may need to cech how many runners there are this year.
Yes?
shall I send you some money?
Yes
paypalthnxplz.
I don't understand how paypal works
Theo
37
(in a row)
I'd
wait until the final number have been declared, probably Friday.
And we need to see if we can get some sort of prize going. A comedy hat, or something
you're
a comedy hat.
or something...
Ouch
:(
Good work on both counts
And also, if people post numbers now I could fix it. Not that I'd do that.
I'll sort it on Friday afternoon. Be here, or miss out!
COMEDY HAT FOR THE WINNER!
Well,
posting numbers means that I could fix it, in as much as once the horses have been declared they will be given numbers. I then come on here with the number of the horse I fancy, meaning that those that post earliest will get the choice of the best horses. Wouldn't a draw be better?
If it's a draw then no one wins
Grand National going to a 2nd replay? That's my prediction.
you_suck_welshmun
and you can take that how you like
i like that
because it was funny
I was going to draw out
from the comedy hat on my desk. Or at least, the plant pot.
It might be easiest for everyone to pick a number between one and forty now, because we don't know the draw yet?
Yeah,
but most of those numbered 30 or lower are going to be shit. As it stands I can be fairly sure that last years winner is going to be number 9, and so I would want that one.
I think this needs, like, a draw or something
You do it then
I've confused myself. And also, just realised that some cunt has just nicked my hat. There's going to be hell to pay.
don't beat yourself
up. I thought you did well
hey, that's not a bad idea
I only wish I'd thought of it earlier
petr cech is a jockey now?
he's too tall, surely.
So
on the understanding that I will fashion some sort of draw that will be above board and legal, we'd need 40 people interested.
I'd like to put myself forward as one of those 40. I think that leaves us looking for another 39.
If you do want to be in the draw, could you make yourself known somehow below, maybe by posting a picture of your favourite root vegetable. If we get another 39 people, great. If we don't, then what is an ultimately pointless idea won't have gotten off of the ground, so I don't think there will be too many tears.
Anyway, have at you!
me. roots manuva.
yes. me. include me.
see profile for veg. thnxxxxx
I'm in
only if I can make really shit puns/jokes about horse names.
I
think thewarn has already picked Massive Cat Face, but you can take your pick from any of the others

Come on team. It's all about horses! Pretty little gee gees! And small men in funny coloured helmets!
put me in
with 5 winners in last 8 nationals tho, your sweepstake is a mere trifle to me.

he hasn't posted here for months.
I

count me in
plz
I'm in
I won £28 on a 10p Lucky 15 last week. This gives me fake confidence.
Ok,
we now have 17. I reckon the best thing we can do is try and entice three others in and those 20 get two horses each, the chances of us reaching 40 entrants seem somewhere between slim and none...
Nice rallying cry, dude
You have to spoon feed these people dude
We can't just tell them to register. They have to forced into it, the crying, whinging, middle-class, wet indie numpties that they are.
How about

They're all bound to be up for it so just stick them in the list and let's go!

We're well away here.
Don't
we end up with someone that doesn't know that they entered never finding out that they won something that was ultimately pointless anyway?
We may as well declare a winner now, mightn't we?
Bagsy me!
Good point.
Right -
the final 40 that will go to post have been declared, and I've got a sweep ready and everything. I'll do the draw tonight. I just don't know how.
There don't appear to be too many sweeps on the net, if you want a simple excel spreadsheet of the runners for a sweep then pm me an e-mail address
if you've got 20 can't
everyone have two runners each, one that could do well and a comedy nag on their way to the Pritt-Stick factory?
Yeah,
it's getting 20 which is proving difficult...
get two and each can have twenty

I bet £10 each way on Joes Edge apparently it's one of the favourites to win which I didn't realise I only bet on it coz it was being rode on my local beach!

I was on that beach about 2 weeks ago
at 3am.
It was chilly.
why?
drinking/dogging
sounds about right
for redcar beach
lol
Fucking dead seagulls.
Piercing himself with used syringes.
Buying cold fish and chips.
:-)
welcome to redcar
oh how proud I am
:)
Josh was actually commenting on how were stood at the edge of the country
and if people were coming to visit by boat, they might possibly land at Redcar, or go past it and quite simply think, "we came all this way for THIS. what the fuck is that supposed to be? it has no roof and holes in the walls and people are pissing underneath . Turn it around, captain. We're off home."
