NeoBanjo.. I thought you might be going through an identity crisis of some kind there a moment, and we'd be having some kind of flame war between Neo and Bonnie.

I'd sooner see it as going to the races rather than a stock market. Same thing in one way - but horse and dog racing is a lot more in keeping with the folk style.

So you have a look down the race card, and see a name that looks lucky, and you maybe sneak a look at her in the paddock. You see the favourite is weighted down with all kinds of handicaps. And you see some odd little outsider down the bottom, put your post on them, and they're up the top, and this time they start to run away.

But the best of all can be you search away round the back in the place where the old runners are resting up, and you spend happy hours finding out all about where they've been. And maybe they're on for another canter.
