OK, we probably should have had this page years ago. It’s for comments which aren’t anything to do with lyrics, but which you really, really feel need a home somewhere on this site. Yes, that includes all the stuff about betting, etc., which nobody will ever want to read in 24 hours’ time. In other words, stuff you want to appear on the “Latest Comments” page, but then eventually scroll off into obscurity. There’s a link at the bottom of the home page “Features on this site” column.

Thank you Chris, I’ve just set up a fantasy football league for people who like Half Man Half Biscuit.
I’ve set it to a maximum of 20 entrants and it costs a fiver to enter. All entry money goes to the top 3 places in prize money at the end of season.
The league is called Half Man Half Biscuit.
Here’s the link https://www.dreamteamfc.com/g/#season/league-hub/join/1120514?IWEY54HR
It should be good fun.

Aargh, would have loved to enter an Exx0-managed Eintracht Oblong team or whatever, and not knocking your plan … but why are fantasy leagues always sponsored by evil scum rags? No can do anything to do with Murdoch, Torygraph or that lying rag above all.

Good idea Chris (in response to the introduction now added above the thread). The ephemeral sports and betting stuff is inevitable given the general spirit and subject matter of HMHB, and as I mentioned a while back I always thought that a way of managing it might be to have a couple of articles as headers to all the time-wasting drivel from losers like me … one article for example about the prevalence of gambling imagery in the lyrics, and then the discussion below that article could have included include all the betting stuff, and maybe an article about HMHB and Tranmere, or something, and that could include all the mathematical safety stuff, etc. But the again my degree was in No Can Do.
It’s great that you like to keep your site so tidy, but also great that you seem to be considering your role and responsibilities in the ‘market’ (or the public square perhaps). Because historically-speaking your site came about at the precise moment when somebody else might have set up a HMHB forum (it had been suggested more than once on the yahoo list and it would undoubtedly soon have happened when forums became free), it has effectively replaced that and not only has it been a case since then of “I could do that, but I don’t really want to” (the Spirit of HMHB in one sentence, surely). Plus a forum set up since 2008 would have just looked like a poor competitor for this site, and another one that was always ripping off its lyrics too.
So yeah, bring it on. The hare will be running at Monmore in about 2 hours from now as it happens. That’s my first tip in fact. The hare.

Hastening to add something, as I often do, I would just like to point out that my 15/1 tip last year of Cheltenham for the Conference (¼ odds for first three places) or my 12/1 double of Grimsby to win the play-offs and Halifax the FA Trophy were both valid for a lot longer than 24 hours, and that if I had placed level stakes on every tip I have ever seen on an HMHB internet platform I would be many points up. It’s the quality of the people you know.

Exxo: Facebook has killed off a lot of forums, and certainly it’s the place to be for any chat on most subjects nowadays. Andy M’s ‘Half Man Half Biscuit Society’ has nearly 7,000 members, so has far more reach than this site or Gez’s site. But hey, for the refuseniks, you’re welcome.

That HMHB society on Facebook actually has some good posts, eg of this https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/14040173_10154482398014038_6118023571931567765_n.jpg?oh=318948ecee7d26b19de42f498b9c8d00&oe=58476312
It’s tempting to be elitist in this scenario, and I’ll try to avoid that, but I’d like to think that the FB page is a sort of club for enthusiasts, whereas this site is a more serious academic endeavour, whose motto is “It’s good to explore the more cultural aspects”, and whose aim is to provide, for posterity, a full examination of the cultural place and significance of our beloved band.

Good call, @TK. Enthusiastic academics are free to like (or Like) both.
I may have mentioned that I think this site’s motto should quote Goldman incorrectly: “You keep using that word. I don’t think it means what you think it means.”

I’ve had to use a water cooler quite a lot this year to fill the kettle in a couple of workplaces but I can’t imagine meeting anyone there who was interested in betting.
Sports-related threads on the internet are the places where these things generally get discussed in my experience.
So anyway I can’t believe 20/1 for Burton to win on pens and 40/1 in e/t tonight. I feel like I’ve spent half my life backing teams that begin with ‘B’ against L’pool ressies in the Mickey Mouse & the FA Cup, and done quite well out of it.
Get a couple of quid on before the teams are announced.
Plus better than 7/1 for the junk-mail-addressed-to-the-dead double of neither L’pool or Tranmere to win tonight.

Ouch, missed out on a double EBR 28/1 winner here: “Andrew Thornton is just two away from joining the elite club of jump jockeys to have ridden 1,000 winners after scoring on Barton Gift at Bangor. The 44-year-old struck on the 28/1 shot, trained by John Spearing in the colours of former trainer Mercy Rimell, in the Equine Lens Handicap Chase.”
23 December 2016
CHARLES EXFORD
Ouch indeed – was at least a treble EBR with the essential double of name & racecourse .. but the trainer’s colours too! Drat, drat & treble drat. And of course Nigel (NigelTwiston-Davies’) horse was one of the two pulled-ups in the race. At least it wasn’t the Duchess of Westminster charity day at that track (that was last month).
23 December 2016
CHARLES EXFORD
Haven’t had cash for horses lately, but after that OUCH! I have to have a little go in Dundalk tonight (I’m cold & I’m hungry and it’s raining soup, after all) so although GOODNIGHT IRINA is really the only slight EBR on the card, I’ve done 2 Lucky 15’s:
17:00 Rock In Peace 4/1
18:00 Goodnite Irina 8/1 or Thunder Speed 8/1
18:30 The Mouse Doctor 5/1
20:00 He’s Our Music 8/1
23 December 2016
CHARLES EXFORD
For those that enjoy a few bets by the way the above is a really good example of how the ‘Betfred’ Lucky 15 can work for you. Find 4 picks that you think are value, preferably all around 5/1 or bigger, and if you only get one winner they multiply winnings by three – so I got 25 points back on my 15 points staked with just the one winner at 8/1. This would mean a 5 point loss on two Lucky 15s if they were staked equally (but they weren’t, cos one line only got “EBR” stakes and one got proper stakes 🙂 ).

The sound of a corner being turned has been murmured about. But most of the the meekest excuse for a ‘kop’ in northern England will surely admit they still feel like they are in darkest Lebanon without a radiator key and NO WAY should Tranmere be the hottest favouries in the entire top three leagues to win today. Chester are available at 9/4 not to lose their cup final and I for one am telling the world in order to hopefuly jinx my bet and propel the Rovers to a radiator-jolting victory.

As we’re discussing papal matters today, a kind of unofficial EBR* arises, although with the inevitable asterisk. While Leicester is not a Biscuit-referenced course, veteran chaser San Pietro (Leicester, 3.15) has been an EBR winner at Bangor-on-Dee for me in the past. Runs for new yard (McCain), loves the mud and has Will Kennedy on board having won plenty of recent races for this stable. Indeed, when they’ve been backed as well as this one is, all his recent rides from McCain have won or been close second. Where to now, St. Peter?
* to be an official EBR, it has to have a HMHB reference in both horse’s name and course.

Very small Lucky 15 on the Equine Biscuit References (EBRs) @Warwick Arts Centre this av:
12.55 Swaffham Bulbeck

15.10 Bivouac
TBH the Swaffham one is not that fanciable, so I’ve gone bigger on Stale Craig (or similar name) at Kelso (non-Biscuit referenced track though) 12.45

I’ll nibble now and back properly if any money comes for him near the off. In fact the same for the double.
Of course yesterday I found some more EBRs for my L15 at Lord Hereford’s. Jamie “much-much” more won on Town Parks and something with Arthur in it rocked right up too. And I never backed ’em.

Without wishing to spoil a good Friday, our old mate Barton Giftgoes this avvo in the race he won for us last year (2.10, Bangor-on-Dee). He’s been pulled up in the mulch three out of four times since then so today will surely deliver either a win, a place or the authentic equine Biscuit experience.
Commodore in the 4.25 is sure to provide that ‘pulled-up’ moment if perchance Barton Gift does not.

Mick – our old mate Surprise Vendor seems to have attracted a certain amount of support in the 4.55 at (point-to-point of) Ayr. Nearly 2/1 to place on Betfair seems decent after he’s won his last 3 over C&D and shown recent promise. The sweet pastures of retirement are probably only weeks away for this veteran, but this could be a last hurrah.

Yes, I did see that. I baked it the other when he finished 3rd, he was that far behind that the groundstaff stayed late to lock up, but of course, I’ll back him. No Subbuteo Angling today either, Alfie has gone to buy his first proper guitar.

Because there has only been any racing to spoil Good Friday since 2014, and because only in 2017 & 2018 have we ever had a Good Friday meeting at a Biscuit-referenced course (Bath), it is with some confidence that we can say that See of Rome (4.35) is the first Equine Biscuit Reference with potential to spoil Good Friday. Hasn’t run for 6 months so its relative strength in the market may be a good sign. I’ve taken the 4/1, which probably won’t last.
Was supposed to be enjoying the annual open day at the thirteen different racing stables in the beautiful Wensleydale town of Middleham today, but ill health has prevented that, or any of the trout fishing that we usually do up there every Easter.

After a walk in Bath, the jockeys decided someone up there wasn’t happy with their sacreligious shenanigans and decided to call the whole caboodle off rather than face a walk in hell. I notice pub-goers in Ireland can finally face His wrath on Good Friday now too.
