Did you strike lucky with Lucky Strike, Ken, when it ran as an 80/1 outsider in the Kentucky Derby, having only been entered at the last minute when another horse was withdrawn?

Quite a ride, I think!

I don't think that I'd have backed it, even if the opportunity to do so was available to me, with just one furlong to go! Apart from inclusion in a list of stragglers early in the race, the commentator never even mentioned Lucky Strike until the very end of it!

don't tell me someone's been teaching it anagrams! It'll be giving crossword answers next.

Strict? It’s positively draconian. It’s not even vaguely an expletive.

At one time it wasn't even possible to provide a link to the website of Severn Trent Water, due to 't w a t' appearing within it!

That would explain it.
Many thanks.
