Besides what fun is winning of you've got no-one there to glout to or shout beer and Jimmy Wongs to after the races.

Sorry don't know how this got here it was supposed to be on the water hole thread.
Topsy i think your over exaggerating a bit, the world of having a punt is not the glum, lonely existance you make it out to be. There is nothing wrong with having a punt at a young age, i'm only 20, i am studying degrees in commerce and economics at Uni, work casual 25-30 hours a week, have a girlfriend and great network of mates, play basketball, i am very fulfilled and still find the punt one of my favourite activities.
Good luck Kitch only advice i have for you is have fun in punting and everything else you do.
