    ID , ,,,has just slipped away quietly, fact is we had 2 months or more telling him he was a fake ….good fun you’d say , but in fairness when all was sorted , he just quietly made his exit , with a heap of dignity , much respect for that chief

    Id say my splash with Pilsen , kinda put him off , probably rightly so…..if I am honest I toyed with the idea of just ending TRF posting , but why let a twat ruin your fun …so no way , its over anyhow …he is well and truly sorted

    we await the denoument with interest :mrgreen:

    I know I lost it , bad for sure , but hey I am just human …(ish )

    hope you arfe feeling a lot better gamble dear boy……please lay off those Krone…s….and give your kindred spirit time to blossom again

    Ricky,
    I am very pleased you decided
    against ending your TRF involevment.
    There is no need for that, and the
    place would be a lot less bright
    and colourful without you. I mean
    that. I have known you over many
    years and you are one of the stand out
    posters on here and part of the fabric
    of this place.

    getting on..

    he may well be well and truly sorted
    from your perspective, but I still feel
    a very negative energy surrounding the
    whole unholy row. There were things said that
    need to be opened up to scrutiny, the
    space needs to be cleared. I intend to proceed
    with this in a timely fashion. Yourself
    and Mr Pilsen are good friends of mine
    and if through my opening of the past
    there is pain, and I lose either or one of you,
    so be it, I am prepared for that.

    You made a fine apology, however it
    went short of naming Mr P, but the presents
    seemed to round it up nicely. However it
    was your Betfair posting that brought a
    new level of intensity to it. opening
    up old wounds, and well, the stalking did
    not assist. I just want to put the record
    straight on this humungous row and dissect it and find
    blame. There will be no need for any further
    apologies from anyone. My rigour will lift
    everything into the light and then….
    it can be forgotten. If you feel demeaned by
    this process or damaged you will just have
    to do what you have to do. I believe you are
    a strong character and can take it.

    You Ricky have re-read the whole thread.
    Since Davies entered (start) and you gave the presents
    (the close)there have been just shy of 600 postings
    and twelve contributors. I will be looking at your
    total 75 posts and Mr Pilsen’s 170.

    … who cast the first stone and the reply

    … the escalation of the argument

    … justice, rectification, judgement

    I do so love dissecting things and
    it is dead in here, and anyway when was
    the last time you played the Wickerman :mrgreen:

    Unknown territory lets go for it and hope
    for some sort of closure or if not closure
    some fresh air and clearance

    As for the minor part of this thread
    verifying Ian Davies. You, myself, Mr P

    Wit, Glenn all got it wrong.
    Drone called it right much later on
    and Mr P his mind. Nathan I think was
    on the fence

    It was good fun and I particularly
    liked your cruise to Australia.It just
    added to the adventure. When did you get back ?

    Before I start..
    Just to point out, it should be known
    I have never PM’d Mr Pilsen concerning this
    matter, or been in contact with you. I did
    try to PM you a few weeks ago but you have
    disabled the function. I did consider phoning
    you but felt it was all a bit tetchy and personal
    and hey, I didn’t want an ear bashing :mrgreen:

    Talking of ears. I very much regret my agreeing
    to go into a pressure unit on Thursday
    . I have lost 10db of hearing @ 250hz and 2000hz
    in my good ear, and slighlty worse in the bad ear
    so that was a bad gamble. Hoping it may ease back.

    …it’s very quiet, but yes the dark side, it comes out in me at times. I suppose these writings could be considerd part of my dark side

    let’s kick on with the

    splash awards

    1st …Ricky Lakes Betfair posting

    2nd …Aaronizneez(selective editing post) 29.10 @ 1353

    3rd …Ricky Lake trans gender posting 11.10@ 0951

    4th …Mr Pilsen Love ya post 11.10 @ 0951

    5th … Mr Pilsen Fractured toes posting 29.10@ 2118

    6th … Mr Ian Davies … Godfather post 1.11

    These were posts that surprised me in order. The 4th and 6th were positive – the others negative and they added to the row.
    Still valid splash though :wink:

    I am a great believer in splash.
    I would never put anyone off.
    If it is negative splash you
    sometimes have pay back – it
    is par for the course, and what
    I am doing now 8)

    If you can actually shed blood

    If you play your cards right
    I may vote for you 8)

    I just tuned in for the winning
    song of X factor. I haven’t watched
    any of it, but thought it was average,
    thought I could have possibly done
    better with Lee Marvin’s wanderin star

    I do agree with you – mainstream TV is garbage in the main. I do watch some things just to keep abreast(long time ago I did watch a bit voters), but ten minutes of X factor was enough :shock:

    This is how the row kicked off – your indelible footprint starts it all big R

    DRONE WROTE:
    MR. PILSEN WROTE:
    Oh good, the Lounge has mainly been a friendly place. There was one attack by Drone a couple of years ago, but that was sorted out with a firm cyber handshake :D

    I blame Doctor Splosh and his medication Pilsner, as that was during one of my occasional psychotic episodes caused by an intensive course of cognitive kroning* therapy

    *Porter, Cabbages and Leeks

    The armchairs have been dusted, the cushions plumped and the shagpile hoovered: this deep ‘n’ dark lounge reverberates once again to the euphonious tweeting of elderly members come in from the cold and Wuthering Heights on the gramophone

    It’s all rather lovely :)

    don’t mention the war, we are all friends now

    I accept your apology :mrgreen:

    Mr P , you are in grave danger as being regarded as a corn flake poster , you need to pull up your socks son , next stage is becoming a mere Ice cream …..oooops splat

    I do however applaud your efforts in creating the new Id …quite clever really :mrgreen:

    Bit not that clever obviously ……

    Flame away …..

    Ok Ricky, the game’s up – it’s a fair cop. I also set up the Twitter account a couple of years ago and fooled people like Eddie The Shoe and Glenn into following me. This was all a prelude to my posting as a fake ID on here.

    I’ve been very thorough! :lol: :lol:

    I’m surprised that you manage to tie your own shoelaces, and that’s not a reference to your portly frame :lol:

    ^^^ All good, harmless banter :wink: Don’t judge a book by its cover.

    Mr Pilsen replies quite strongly, but with a softener – all good harmless banter

    Nothing too heavy with that splash
    although it is true to say you cast
    the first small stone Ricky

    We will now look at the escalation

    (hopefully I can finish this off
    tonight)

    Goodnight, Gamble, love you :D

    :oops:

    Dont judge a book by its cover

    A fairly bold post above – I would describe it as splash. What one has come to expect of Mr Pilsen the surprise post. I personally admired his boldness and the post, for that reason is included, in the splash awards

    Glad to have the
    last word Mr P
    It’s been thoroughly
    entertaining and
    without a doubt
    you’re some match
    for the ol’ mac

    Ricky Lake

    11 Oct 2013 08:51
    Mr P or is it Miss …..what ever transgender you are currently representing , the tone has definitely changed over the past few days , no more Jolly but very acidic …

    making notes about forum posters is a bit keen for my taste, I do not see the point , however if your life is hollow then I guess every little helps :mrgreen:

    I think your small beer for gamble , but entertaining none the less

    so lets have some pleasant banter miss /mister / clone ….the barbs are a bit puerile and to that extent not worthy of a reply

    lighten up Mac

    :P :mrgreen: :D

    The Chief could well be back , I am starting to think you are his clone …..miss tetchy boots ……

    nighty night :mrgreen:

    Well this above is the escalation and Ricky scurrilously changes Mr P’s gender here, for what I would describe as a genuine and daring post on Mr P’s part. I feel this was way over the top, and a misjudgment from you Ricky, in my opinion. I did not find it amusing, on the contrary – rather embarrassing.(Similar take on emotion to Aronizneez’s later splash to you Ricky). I think this is where the harm was done. There is a sort of unwritten rule that you do not belittle or mock a genuine splash post. Of course if the post had rested alone it would have been less harmful, but it bred a whole family of Miss Pisen’s and Pilsendudes

    (an inconsequential post from me followed)

    Morning Gamble …strange to see you afore the midnight hour !!

    I wish you well with your intended phone call to the clone formerly known as ID ….I am sure it will be interesting

    as you are away I expect miss Pilsen to troll at length , so I will await your return with news before I visit this leisurely ground

    easy on the vodka old bean

    Clone and fans ,…I would not be too triumphant , the game is not yet over

    The fat lady id clearing her throat …(not you Miss Pilsen ) :mrgreen:

    I shall return to this matter soon

    Ricky

    Well that’s the guts of it. Others may view things differently to my perceptions, and any feedback is welcome. I have noticed there has been this pretty awful atmosphere in the lounge since this kicked off. I just wanted to go over thing in detail and put my finger on what has been causing it. Clear the air. Ricky has admitted making mistakes and has been rather in a good mood this evening, and has given me the go ahead to write this, and that impressed me.

    I do have some criticism for Mr Pilsen. I feel his toe breaking piece later was a bit rich. I suppose it was his anger coming out. I also felt his strategy of refusing to reply to Ricky also made matters worse – best if he had left a small window open. It has to be said that Mr Pilsen did say some pacifying words later on – I was going to post them up, but too damned tired.

    I never really understood why Ricky, you took exception to Mr P. Two writers who write with their heart on their sleeve and splash their words. Anyway that is it – done dusted. It is difficult to see the two of them coming together but hopefully a quiet respect,or at least understanding.

    One has to remember the whole thing was great splash just it got too dark and somehow fed on itself.

    Apologies to Ricky and Mr Pilsen for opening this worm can for scrutiny

    That is the end of it in my opinion. Unless of course Ricky wants to say a few words or Mr Pilsen wishes to break his sabbatical. It was very good to see Ian Davies writing again, and who knows hopefully he will be airing his views again in here or racing. There is never any pressure on anyone to write in here. :lol:

    The lounge has been particularly
    devoid of rows for a long time.
    The last big face off was in
    2005 between the two splash posters
    Sky and Razeen. It was real hatred
    from Razeen towards the then eatate
    agent in Spain. They faced off together
    and Daylight intervened and there
    was no coming togethter rather an
    exit vote that tied possibly 14v14.
    or 12v12 – my memory fades.

    Sky very kindly treated me and my
    lady friend to a weeks in a hotel
    in Santa Paula on the Costas. I
    broke back into my plane on arrival
    by forcing a security door at the
    airport and managed to get on and it was
    being cleaned, I was escorted off it
    by three armed police. I felt I had left
    something on the seat.
    I was out there to attend a wedding.
    Sky like I was a very big fan of Razeen
    and we supped a few krones together
    reminiscing the many incidents. It all
    seems like an age ago now, but Sky was
    one of the few people I met here on TRF.

    I will roll the credits now and thank all
    contributors.

    12 men good and true enough for a Jury
    I estimate I spent in excess of 200 hours
    over the three months investigating the
    authenticity of Ian Davies. Possibly
    a sign of madness, and in truth I regret
    I had not ended it sooner, but this pales
    into insignificance when I think back to
    the Salty Jack Affair and my lost year
    chasing a phantom. At least Ian Davies is
    real.

    15 th August (Ian Davies enters page 6) until 28th November Ricky gives out festive presents.
