Cheltenham very soon. Below is a post from my personal social media a few days ago. The horse is still 16-1 with bet365 right now, 10’s now everywhere else. If you fancy a little wager, that 16’s is far to big. The race has since I wrote that below been named after the young jockey who died.
“First race of the festival on the Tuesday. Supreme novices hurdle. William Munney, 16-1 bet365 ante post rules this time. Fav is odds on from Mullins. False price. William Munney put up a performance already last time on certain mid race sectional speed figures that see him winning 8 out of the last 10 supreme novice hurdles.. He’s only run three times over hurdles and improving at the right time. If you heard the tragedy of the young Irish jockey who lost his life last week. This was his stable. They won that race together. Same owner same trainer. The first race William Munney is going to attract a lot of money from the Irish for sentimental reasons alone. I’ve got more than £2k on him to win at prices north of 16-1 already. You should back him é/w in the antepost market. He runs only in the Supreme barring a leg falling off in the next two weeks. He’s 12-1 NRNB if you would rather be safe.
He’s an incredible bet at 16-1. A pure class horse without doubt 100%. If he jumps and takes to Cheltenham, he’s no 10-1 shot whatsoever, let alone 16’s. I think he’ll beat the odds on favourite who very likely will not handle the occasion”.

It’s so easy Andy to post photos once you know how. Just as simple from a mobile as from desktop.
Top of non fishing chat, photography thread, copy the link. Post that, delete the capitals where it says INSERT LINK HERE, then copy & paste the direct link from the photo host. I can do it in seconds now.
This is a nice message from a hauling forum member from yesterday as example. Took me 27 seconds to upload it to photo host and post it on here. I timed it 😂

Some absolute corkers on the bank there - Nice. Got me even more looking forward to getting out next week. I have some S2s that have been top and tailing in a pot with some GPBs since November (unintentionally) and smell pretty funky and due an airing 
Mate - I don't know how you managed the patience to do all those photos from a mbl.... I was absent from the forums for a few years and coming back they've actually made it more fiddly to post a pic, and thats on a desktop

Dave Little, part of a five fish catch from Woolpack lake 4 earlier this week. Pink S2 on SHR. He’s also got one in the sling at the Northey Park syndicate right about now. Well done Dave.

First chunk that I can actually show caught on the S2 Fizz. Part of a six fish February haul for Royston. Caught over his own homemade freezer baits from a venue that he should not really be banking six from in a February session. Well done mate, good angling.

Thank you all for the kind messages on here. It's really all so appreciated honestly. It's 04:30 am here. The work phone has received the most incredible number of kind messages over the past day or so. Some of them truly humbling too.
Meanwhile, I'm having sleepless nights on the other side of the world worrying about the sheer number of new carp anglers (to us) who have our stuff for the very first time. These shops are bringing in so many new customers to us. The carnage that this will bring when these blokes all go use them for the first time is worrying slightly. We released six new hook baits last year. This will be the first Spring that the newer S2's will be set free on pits all across the UK. When the carp start to wake up, I already know exactly what sort of mayhem is coming, just from the few blokes who got them last Winter/Spring. This Spring everything is going to be very different indeed. They are the same old cold water S2's, but turbo charged to a different level. The number of new anglers currently about to use them for the very first time on slightly dumbed down Spring carp, are about to find out all this for themselves at any moment. That's an exciting, whilst also at the same time very scary thought for me currently. To you lot nothing has changed. To me/us everything is about to change in a gigantic way.
Then the Fizz is about to get released as well.
Forum member Ron (Chris), his first carp of the year. 34+, DNA Bug balanced with a slither of pepperami added. Well done Chris.
Dynamite consultant Tony, seven to over 30lb from St Johns at the very start of February, when it was absolutely bitter still. Pink S2 over Monster Tigernut freezers and hemp/corn.
Tony and Parky are both off to Orellana in Spain tomorrow morning. Tony caught some incredible big carp last February's trip, they are both buzzing for tomorrow, Parky's first time. They will have them.
Josh with his Jan brace from Wellington Country Park. Two in the net at the same time in freezing conditions. Standard brown S2.

Rest easy Jack. This country needs to do so much more and quickly to make mental health support accessible for young working class lads.

Suicide is definitely on the rise I have family and friends who have done it not nice for those left behind the internet and socials have a part to answer but also drink and drugs also play a big part in the demise of peoples mental health
They are troubled souls with men we are conditioned to be men and we shouldn’t show weakness we let me tell anyone who thinks this your wrong it’s good to talk

Absolutely outstanding writing Mark. What a world we live in. My son had a friend over to play last week. His friend told me that his dad had committed suicide a few months ago. It is beyond words, the horror.

Your friend is a very wise man Darren.
It’s so tragic that it defies belief Andy. Especially looking at his young children who have lost their dad. Mental health is affecting so many young men in the UK now. Life is constantly getting tougher, the pressure and problems that brings with it are making mental health issues worse and worse.
In a world now completely obsessed with social media. There is only one thing to blame really for me. I feel lucky to have been born and grew up before the internet. I feel sorry for the generations that have come after me, of which Jack was one.
It’s so sad. I hope his family and friends find peace.

That is such a shame to read.
Still a young bloke too - in his 30's.... looked like he could catch them as well.
Terrible to think of the young people who get to the point where they feel that it's their only way out.
RIP mate.
