me personally no, nv otoh may have, im not up to speed on the vernacular
the fella with me was telling me about the time he drunkenly bought a horse with his mates and it won at cheltenham, absolute ealing stuff

1st Place: £351,688
i wonder if this exceeded the price of the horse plus necessary maintenance ans various overhead, i would reckon so, that is a cool story

depends on the race I'd think, that sounds like a lot of prize money
― Todd Phillips, party auteur (Noodle Vague), Friday, 7 February 2020 23:49 (four years ago) link
prize money in question was a fraction of that, tho not pittance
but they all backed it at between 50-33/1, literal shutters down in all the local bookies
they made out like bandits and partied with liz2 in the winners tent afterwards
afterwards, the syndicate had an offer of ten times what theyd paid for the horse,but it came to blows at the meeting and alas all fell apart. was sold for a mere twice original cost the next year and yerman still isnt talkin to his uncle he sez

Stewie on FG said someone ran like a Welshman in pejorative fashion. How does a Welshman run?

I've never knowingly known a welsh person
Can be difficult as lots of them don't even sound Welsh. Every time I come across a famous person I didn't know was Welsh I think about having a Secretly Welsh thread but, right now, the only one I can think of is John Prescott.
