VJOKE

This employee needed a raise, so he had to have that big talk with the boss that we all hate having. But this guy had a trick up his sleeve:
Employee: Excuse me sir, may I talk to you?
Boss: Sure, come on in. What can I do for you?
Employee: Well sir, as you know, I have been an employee of this prestigious firm for over twenty years.
Boss: Yes, and we’re glad to have you with us.
Employee: I won’t beat around the bush. Sir, I would like a raise. I currently have four companies after me and so I decided to talk to you first.
Boss: A raise? I would love to give you a raise, but this is just not the right time with Covid and everything. 
Employee: I understand your position, and I know that these are rough times economically, but you must also take into consideration my hard work, pro-activeness and loyalty to this company for over two decades. I want to keep working here, but that needs to go both ways.
Boss: Taking into account these factors, and considering I don’t want to start a brain drain, I’m willing to offer you a ten percent raise and an extra ten days of vacation time. How does that sound?
Employee: Great! It’s a deal! Thank you, sir!
Boss: Before you go, just out of curiosity, which companies were after you?
Employee: Oh, the Electric Company AGL it was, the Gas Company, the Water Company and Telstra…..

A deal’s a deal.

This is a moving dynamic market so as the odds change for the actual race the odds will change for the H2H outcome.

VFACTS

In 1711 it was Queen Anne who first saw the potential for a racecourse at East Cote, declaring that it looked an ideal place for “horses to gallop at full stretch” while out riding. Greencoats have formed the ceremonial guard for The Monarch at Ascot since 1744. It is rumored that the velvet uniforms were originally made from material left over from curtains in Windsor Castle. By 1752 the popularity of attending the racing at Ascot was becoming apparent in social circles with the extra entertainments laid on for 18th century racegoers included cockfighting, prize-fighting, gaming tents, jugglers, ballad singers, ladies on stilts and freak shows. Until 1783, jockeys were permitted to wear whatever they liked when racing. This caused a great deal of confusion when attempting to pin down the winners of each race. Jockeys were thus instructed to wear the colors of their horse’s owners. In the late 18th century it was decided Men in the Royal Enclosure must wear top hats. What is now known as Royal Ascot started to take shape with The Gold Cup in 1807, Ascot’s oldest surviving race. The winning owners still receive a gold trophy which becomes their property. At 2pm sharp, each of the five days begins with the Royal Procession – the arrival of The Queen and the Royal party in horse-drawn landaus, which parade along the track in front of the racegoers. The inaugural Royal Procession was in 1825 with King George IV. Today Royal Ascot stages 25 days of racing throughout the year, 16 Flat meetings between the months of May and October and 9 National Hunt meetings between November and April. The Royal Meeting, commencing today is undoubtedly the most famous of these, where top class racing is combined with tradition, pageantry and style.
