Yes - 6 arrived this morning. Multi colours. Quite neat dainty little things - fit nicely in your pocket. But make a reasonable amount of noise. Don't know if they all sound a bit different - I have only tried one. I'll bring them all along on Thursday.

Certainly it's a different Scunny now from a couple of weeks ago. Damned shame for all of us who haven't raced them yet!

Scored better for the Monarchs!

Konopka - please!

Lolza. Wish I had gone!

I see poor Paco now has a broken ankle to add to his woes. Poor lad.

But Connor Mountain is getting a chance to push himself - at Ippo this Thursday.

So the deal was a pair of weegie kevlars in exchange for a cap and a couple of stickers? Not sure who got the better deal.

I was only going by the weather map on the 6 o'clock news.

Weather forecast on the beeb looking a bit iffy tomorrow.

Well I like to look back on this one courtesy of the Monarchs Chatzone (though nor the final score!).......... IPSWICH 'Sackers' WITCHES...48 1. Leigh Lanham © 3,3,2�,1�,0 = 9+2 2.

Riders or supporters?

Always excited but never an Ippo fan!!

Don't want to tempt fate by changing commentary. Come on Portugal - stuff it to the Blues!

The football's not that good!

I ordered 6. So should be enough to go round.

Handy with me being a Rangers supporter.

Multi-coloured swap shop.

I ordered a few. Only cheap so we'll see if they are any good.

Hopefully the cow bells will be here by Thursday then!

Were there rival noise makers at ippo last week? (apart from the rubbish PA system.)

Yep Bach for Barker never seemed like a great move. Bye the way, did Glasgow take back their Kevlars from Barker when they tossed him out? I see he was wearing his old Peterborough ones at Ippo last week.

Oh dear. Needed Hancock from the look of it.

Think even you might be better than Harris baldyman.

Shouldn't read too much into the Pairs result. King & covatti would have made a much better fist of it.
