And as for myself..

said on these pages racing is
soOOO boring.

Word.

Indocine I am terribly interested
in what your word word actually implies.

I typed the word

so

then remembered he
had written it as Soooooo but wrote
in capital O’s in error. Does that help ??

‘Word’ in the urban dictionary sense. My agreement with the sentiment of the preceding text.

Just got up from a Saturday afternoon snooze, too much fresh air mixed with too many children riding horses and pony’s around in circles make me tired. My lad was on King Windermere, I told him it was Sky Lantern. The open fireplace in the pub across the road didn’t help with my tiredness.

Having read the judgement and a Guardian report on the same (some of which is reproduced below), Channel Four seem to come out of this case very badly, being heavily criticised by the judge.

As Paul has previously pointed out in this thread, no minutes were taken of the meetings that ultimately decided the fate of messrs McCririck and the others, an absolutely staggering practice for a state-funded body. It seems Channel 4’s important executive decisions on this matter were undertaken on an informal chat basis or in ad-hoc phone calls.

The tribunal described C4’s sports editor, Jamie Aitchison as

"weak and found it difficult to take and stand by decisions"

saying

"he failed to produce proper job descriptions, seek appropriate HR advice, or engage with other presenters whose positions were at risk."

The tribunal also singled out Jay Hunt, Channel 4’s chief creative officer, for her failure to learn from her experience as a BBC employee when Miriam O’Reilly made a successful claim for age discrimination. The tribunal said Hunt’s evidence that she had made a personal apology to O’Reilly was

"disingenuous in the extreme".

The tribunal concluded that

"Mr McCririck has not been handled with courtesy or respect and his complaints of unfairness have some merit, but this is not an unfair dismissal complaint. The tribunal cannot draw an inference of discrimination from the mere fact of unfair or unreasonable behaviour by an employer."

It seems that it was only the idiotic nature of McCririck age-discrimination claim that managed to override Channel 4’s incompetence!

To throw some light on to McCririck’s funding of the case, The Guardian reported:

"McCririck has claimed his Primrose Hill home would be at risk if he lost the case but the cost of defeat is limited by the fact that his solicitor was acting on a no-win, no-fee basis. Nor is he likely to have to pay the expenses incurred by Channel 4 or IMG, since cost orders are rare in tribunal cases. The cost of his employing Jennifer Eady QC to present his case is likely to prove substantial, however."
