Yes, it's the time of the year when the British public goes horse crazy and is glued to their television sets for about 10 minutes. No, I'm not talking about Charles and Camilla's wedding, I'm referring to the Grand National, four miles and four furlongs of the craziest jump racing this side of Dudley. So what I'll do is set up a little sweepstakes to make it interesting - simply post here and once there's 40 posters, I'll stick all the names in a hat (actually, will use some online randomizer but let's retain the romance of it) and allocate everyone a horse. Winner will get the great prize of:
- Being able to gloat
- A custom message in my sig for a week - yes, fifty characters or so is yours to use as you like!*
- Being able to gloat some more
- If you're stupid enough to actually back your horse, cash prizes
Race is 4:10 local time tomorrow** (11:10 EST). Post away.
(* - subject to terms and conditions, i.e. don't be a twat)
(** - start time is only a guide, and may vary due to late running of weddings, IRA bombscares, the Hale-Bopp comet, my lucky pants)
