Hello,
I’m still struggling to take the Christmas pounds off. Apart from playing havoc with my rash my lovely wife, Shirley commented that I was close to putting Buddha to shame in the old girth department. Harsh I thought as I took a well earned rest after wrestling the sock from my right foot. Bit of a fighter that one. Still got a bit of elastic in the nylon.
But the mention of Buddha got me thinking.
As I scanned The Sun whilst on the bog, there was no mention of how to live a good Buddhist life. Well not in the Racing Section anyway. I thought Ying and Yang were the name of the Pandas in London Zoo (They never had sex neither – I know the feeling) and used to smother Feng Shui with Curry Sauce after wobbling home from the Swollen Gland on a Friday Night. Never met Harry Krishna neither. Must be a nice bloke – he’s had a religion named after him.
Shame my Uncle Harry never managed that trick. “Harry – Harry, Harry – Harry Feltham” has a certain tranquil quality don’t you think? He was a roofer as well. An existential extension could have been on the cards. If I knew what existential meant. Heard some bloke say it on BBC2 once. Knew it wasn’t At Home Wth The Ice Cop Chase Border Guards straight away. (Great show that by the way).
Then I spotted it. 3.15 at Kempton Park – Roly Poly Fat Boy. Put twenty on him to win and he romped home!
Thanks Buddha! Although my journey for spiritual enlightenment continues.
No it doesn’t.
Laters.

You can read more of Bob’s musings whilst on the pot here and here. Your lives will be infinitely richer for doing so.
No you won’t.

Awestruck by the easy wit and humour.
Cheers Ankur, Bob speaks to me so easily
I think Bob sometimes thinks more clearly than the majority of us.
The toilet clarifies so much
The Swollen Gland. Ha! Nice one. In Galway there is a pub called M.T. Pockets as in empty pockets. It’s almost like their warning their customers.
I would be wary about stepping into that hostelry!
For a flash of enlightenment, a diet of beans before the visit and then application of a lighter during a noisy part of the performance ….
Brilliant!
Snort. Don’t trust that fighter of a sock. Harry beyond belief. Wisdom seated.
And he keeps a lid on it!
Whew! (matchless)
I think it’s important to restrict the search for enlightenment to One’s Own Bowels.
(To place.)
(In the fifth at Churchill Downs.)
I’ve got to hand it to you Guap
Bob does a lot of thinking on the throne doesn’t he?
Ceaseless…….
Had no idea Bob was seeking enlightenment, but I guess it makes perfect sense.
He is on a higher plane
