Evil Diaries: JOGging along

I was licking my wounds over Empyrean (EME) when suddenly Family Cawkwell’s 200,000 Jersey Oil and Gas (JOG) came to life and leapt 60p to stand at 230p. All is restored in the equilibrium stakes.

Meanwhile I am almost at the point of feeling sorry for Harry given that he is well under the influence of his wife. The truth is that one shouldn’t even notice this cankered couple. To do so is bad for one’s good humour.
