Hmmm, you’ve definitely changed from the sweet, kind and funny poster to someone who’s now often in attack mode. Please go back to being as you were in picture one

The times change
people change with them
Being cooped up for a year
may not help the demons rest.
You’re far more Woolf than
me and you know the proof
of that in your differing personas. People come people go, we live now in a frenzied
internet based world which
is inward looking ( twitter) and outward looking ( google )
We’re somewhere on that axis.
You can call it evil or advancement.
Dr Jeckyl get yourself to bed and dont hide yourself away – nice pictures by the way at the turn of day, and in time I’ll probably learn that, rather than munch on hay.

Get this indulgent personalised nonsense kicked into the lounge if anywhere.

Weaver is hardly alone in having to pad out what he is trying to say. More eloquent types struggle too. The very fluent Nick Luck resorts to ‘extraordinary’ enough to make it commonplace.

Fond memories of Jimmy Lindley for me. Phrases such as ‘stands over a lot of ground’, ‘he’s a dab hand with this type of horse’, ‘one of our best lightweights’ (remember those ?),

[Jaywalker]

Jimmy used to say that a horse ” has a heart as big as himself “.
And ” our stall-handlers are the best in the world “.

So many good Lindleyisms on this thread!

I remember him once saying a horse he had seen in the paddock that had not quite shed its winter coat “looked like a teddy bear.”

That’s reminded me of a woolly Dessie with David Elsworth
