And I really like my current job of typing TV subtitles for the deaf - it's rewarding, I have great friends there, and I'm trying to build up the courage to ask one of them out!

So I don't know what to do. It's a tough one.

I filmed an audition for that job today anyway, and I was nervous, but I think it went pretty well. I don't know if they'll like it, though.

Oh I'm thrilled for you and best of luck, I think that would be awesome!

Moving away like that can suck but you'd be able to go home a lot... right?

Courage to ask one of them out??? Geez ed I'd fly halfway around the world haha I'm sure she'll want to go out with you.

Had no idea about writing subtitles and that is wonderful but ed... you need to do this if you're offered the position! Who knows... maybe you could start a trend and have the first subtitles for the deaf on the racing broadcasts!

Post the fields when you can!!!

Not Fritzy Boy's day today. The Hombre was second in his race.

Here's the Cup. It was an unforgettable race, but not in a good way...

Horse and jockey were okay. But that's unbelievable.

Yes I will alert you every time I see one from out your way won over here.

No pp's and no idea if he's a new arrival or not, but yea (even though he beat my old man Bold Chieftain home)...

Wow, thanks for letting me know! I remember that horse. He had two wins from 7 starts here.

Hey ed any idea why Upsala scratched the other day?

Any word on the job? (Fingers crossed!).

Wanted to know if you heard about this... Fairy King Prawn relocating to NZ (yea!).

I guess the weather was bad and they had to cancel the big farewell ceremony at Sha Tin this weekend but he's being relocated and was wondering if you had any idea where he's going to be living so I can beg you to go and visit him for me.
