nice touch to show the super Orchid by bozza although fleetingly it was a nice touch, if it was left for long it would have invited more piss taking opportunities. I did hold a great deal of affection for Dessie and travelled across the country in the late 80's to see him run. I don;t agree that...
I will explain this only once I will try and use simple language that the thicko's can understand.
Yes Desert Orchid was " only a horse " yes worse things happen in Iraq every hour, but many people will be saddened at the passing on of a equine legend. This is a football forum I can only equate...
I don't give a shit if you don't give a shit but why post " jokes " and shit about someone / something, someone else regarded highly, get over yourself post on the numerous other juvenile threads available elsewhere
anyway life is too short ( chance for a joke there ) to be wasted it discussing...

Because the horse was quite dear to me with some wonderful memories of great races and happy days and I am upset it has died. I have several wonderful singed prints and photos of the horse at home. To hear " jokes " about glue and dog food is incredibly disrectful and pretty shitty really

Obituary: Desert Orchid
After retirement Desert Orchid became a regular at charity events
Desert Orchid, or simply 'Dessie' to his millions of fans, created history by becoming the only horse to win the King George VI Chase four times.
The sight of the grey flying over the fences at...
Because it is an animal , it has no worth to mankind whatsover, it is just good for dog food ( NSC philosophy ). The fact is was loved by millions of race fans and was a unique character who had a never give up attitude ( nearly said never say die but thought that would give an excuse for a...
