Hi Folks
Sorry about the lack of posts this week, but I have been murderously busy running from track to track( mostly on that famous car park known as the M25) it took me nearly four hours to do the 60 mile journey to Ascot. The Racing Board haven't made life any easier either. They have increased the number of meetings from 250 to 459 which is a bit hard for a nearly 70 year old veteran. I guess I will have to let the Yuppie sons do more of the work.
While I am on the subject of Royal Ascot all I have to say is urinals or should I say lack of them. The are 10 urinals on the concourse level. Considering that most of the punters are men that is no way near enough1 You expect women to be queuing out the door of the ladies but last week was the first time I say men queuing!
Well at last summer has nearly arrived & weather for GLORIOUS GOODWOOD looks promising. I am on my way down there as this is being written. Thank heaven for modern inventions. The secretary is back on board after the mistakes in the earlier postings. I expect a bumper turnout this week & a great time to be had by all. Marian has been away at a wedding & left me to look after myself so her reward for that is joining me down here at a very swanky hotel in Brighton. What a lovely husband I am!
Anyway more to the point my BISMARCK for to-day is Aqaleem running in the 14.50. i will try & post my Bismarck daily this week so log on & check it out.

Another week gone
Lets have a catch up, its Monday morning 10am. Been all over the place dodging the rainstorms this week, Sandown, Folkestone, Kempton & Lingfield. The only place it didn't rain was Lingers as I had predicted on The Morning Line. There was a big crowd, nearly 10,000 I am told, Plenty of bloody women betting 50p each way but as most of them were dressed up to kill I let it go & gave only little abuse. Apparently Jason Donovan was a blast but I was already on my way home when he started. I believe the SP on winner I have a dream has been sent out wrong at 9/2, it was at least 12/1 on mine & several other boards, I'll be looking into it!
Tough week this week the weather looks bad again and my family including Patrick are out camping [under canvas in a field]. I carry on regardless.
Had a smashing Sunday made a surprise visit to my 86 year old Mum early doors [she has just had a hip operation] called in at Chelmsford on some longstanding friends Pat & Vince at 11am They were still in bed don't know what they could be doing at 60 still in bed but they insisted on cracking a bottle of champagne with Maz & myself. Bach home 1pm , went out to eat with friends Ricky & Suzy. We went to the best Chinese in England, Chans in Manor Park. They serve real chinese the same as it was when I went there fifty years ago. Somehow six bottles of Wan Fu appeared an the bill [not guilt I was driving]
To-night is Windsor, I have just got off the phone from speaking to Gemma [the 26year odl c.o.c] at this stage it goes ahead. Lets hope she hasn't made a blunder this week. Last week she said that going was firm but the jockeys disagreed & said it was soft? The weather needs to improve for next week. GLORIOUS GOODWOOD is not the same in the rain.
Will catch up whenever. bet with Barry on http://barrydennis.co.uk

In the office
Not a lot to report. I thought I would post a picture of me hard at work in the office. This is the nerve centre of operations & I spend a lot of time in here.
I'm not looking forward to the atrocious weather forecasted for the weekend.
Remember http://barrydennis.co.uk/ is the best for betting so visit us now!

Day 1 The New Begining
Don't blame me if this goes wrong! blame Suzy. This is my new hobby hope you enjoy or get offended or whatever. This is an insight into the real Barry Dennis warts & all. After much persuading I have decided to embrace the internet wholeheartedly and give blogging a go.To-day should have been Brighton and Kempton but at the moment Philip the clerk is too exhausted after Ascot last Saturday. Nomber 1 son Patrick has been called to his bleeding kids sportdays, I tell everybody DON'T HAVE KIDS! The only reason I've got four is that in the sixties we got 7s 6d per week family allowance and that amounted to £1.50 modern money to give me some betting money or go up the billiard hall to play snooker.Off to Brighton now I've got an appointment with The Lump of Lard. My Bismarck on ATR later will be Ten on line. The schedule is murderous this week so will post again to-morrow.If you think I look slimmer the aga is broke so no food this week! Will update on the kitchen situation later after the service geezer has been. Suppose it will be another arm & a leg so bet with me later. I NEED THE MONEY http://barrydennis.co.uk/
