Sorry I haven't been in the paddock much recently. Mrs. Grump and I got into an argument awhile back and I ended up telling her if she thought she could do any better go ahead, take over the team. So then what happens - we actually won both races in round 6. With my face fully covered with egg (American expression meaning embarrassment) I had to return with my tail between my legs (American expression meaning someone that's been put in their place) and beg to be allowed back. Once back with the team I started bragging about how we were finally on the right track and were going to kick everyone's backside from now on. I even found a bookie (American slang for someone who's smarter that you think) who took a big bet from me that we'd sweep our races in round 7 as we did in round 6. Then after losing the first race I made it double or nothing that we'd at least split races, and now that we lost both races (again) I'm on the run (again) because I don't have the money to pay off the bookie (American slang for a guy who breaks bones when he's mad).
If you see a big guy chewing on a cigar who's looking for me, please tell him I went to the bank. Meanwhile, I'm going to put on a disguise and find something to hide behind.
