    Quite right kneez.
    I don’t know if I
    can match your
    simple joy but…

    When you have your
    hearing you take it
    for granted. Lose
    it and suddenly the
    world is grey and
    there is this devastating
    feeling of loss and
    loneliness. I have been
    on a month long journey
    with it. I am so lucky
    in making a partial
    recovery. To hear and
    understand a voice on
    the phone and use the
    old right ear rather than
    hear Stephen Hawking as
    I was, and having to use
    the annoying left one
    is blesses bliss. :mrgreen:

    Although this thread is on the bleak side
    I hope to introduce some cheer this evening
    after all Ricky has just posted
    another dude on Betfair and seems to be
    good mooding. His posts, though in essence
    defamatory, do have an air of cheery
    hippo about them

    You suggest that we may be at a crossroads
    Ricky. I don’t have that many friends,
    I lived many years abroad, and I couldn’t
    afford to bring them all back here. I suppose
    I would categorize you as a friend but I have
    had to move you into my odd list. :wink:

    Now here’s the good news. You like a bit of action.
    A bit of splash. I thought I would up the ante
    little. The thing I like about the recent Ian Davies
    enquiry were the two phone calls – real world see.
    I will write a bit tonight but have thought of two things
    I will do that may surprise you. I am primed to
    go onto Betfair but not quite sure with that.
    I have bought one bottle of krone now in the freezer

    The action will take place a little later on.
    I will to hope be making a bit of a sensation of you
    tonight. :mrgreen:

    Just one thing let us you me and P contain
    any bad words to here in the lounge.
    I think the mods would appreciate that
    and the time of year demands it really.

    My last post on here – not likely I am
    going back on my word just as you did :P

    Back in about …well not long

    Well Ricky himself has upped the ante
    This could be a long night :wink:

    I am primed to go on Betfair but not
    confirmed. Fact is I am feeling lousy
    today – the high doses of steroids and
    antivirals are taking their toll and
    keep me awake at night. As to Lake
    suggesting I will be defending Mr Pilsen,
    wrong on that one, no I have a slightly
    different plan

    Now in the whole enquiry Mr Ricky Lake
    got a lot wrong, let us be generous and
    find a couple of things he got right..

    He writes on chit chat of Mr P

    … always attention seeking, always annoying.

    Not the former attention seeking is more your
    preserve Ricky. Mr Pilsen can be rather irritating,
    not annoying. We will give Lake half a point.

    Ricky was spot on about mainstream TV having
    nothing much to show. I think he is right there.
    If you likr Dr Who and there is a Harry Potter film,
    but nothing there I would watch. However there are
    occasionally some ggod things. I watched a very
    interesting proramme this week on Psychopaths.
    I wonder if Ricky watched that ? Quite interesting,
    because they say that one in a hundred have these
    psycopathic tendencies. Apparently directors on boards
    have a higher ratio. People employed by banks who are
    risk takers are the profession most replete with psychopaths.
    David James the english goalkeeper professes to be one.

    If this site has 5000 members there should be 50
    psycopaths in our midst. Now what has this to do
    with Ricky Lake. Well I feel I knew Ricky Lake very well.
    His behaviour has very much surprised me over the last
    two months and I can say I had misjudged his character.
    I felt, in view of the fact I know him reasonably
    well, I would answer questions on his behalf on a site
    I found called psychcentral.com. I did the psycopath test
    for him, answering as if I was him. A few things I did
    not know, one if he had a criminal offence. I answered
    no on that. Anyway Ricky’s score was 16 and a score 13-17
    demonstrated someone who had moderate to minor
    psycopathic tendencies. A score of 18 and up
    showed strong psychopathic qualities.
    Now Ricky has been a professional gambler for many
    years on the racecourse,something akin to a banker another
    connection. More on this in a minute…

    Loving this …..carry on father ./ doctor / detective

    :D

    That medication has surely brought you into the twilight zone

    The imminent crowning of poster of the year had obviously created a rush …..

    loving it Sir

    laughing so hard it hurts

    will this thread ever stop

    meanwhile back at the ranch Miss P , is having a spotlight breather

    go for it , the drugs arent woking ….lol

    on a serious note I hope you can hear a little more and cheer is heading your way

    I could not get in last night Ricky
    so called a truce. I am feeling a lot
    better today – the nausea has lessened
    and I slept reasonably well, thank you.
    This is the post I tried to put up
    but couldn’t

    Ricky I am not trying to prove
    you are barmy, as you stated to slippy
    on chitchat. One in twenty five board
    directors are not barmy, David James is not
    barmy – you are not barmy – but you could have
    sociopathic or psychopathic tendencies
    this can explain all of your behaviour here
    and on Betfair. When I watched the programme
    I thought about myself – was I a psychopath ?
    No, I concern myself too much about others feelings
    but hang on, then you came into my mind and I
    thought hey – could be an answer to all your
    weird posting. This could be your defence.

    Many argue that psychopaths are needed by
    society. They get things done irrespective
    of difficult barriers or opposition.

    I would ask you to go on the site and
    take the test – it is only three minutes.
    It could be quite revealing !

    These are the main tendencies
    attributing that are considered to define
    the condition
    .
    I ask people to view Ricky Lake
    in light of them and come to
    a conclusion

    Social influence — a tendency to seem charming, persuasive

    Ricky’s obsequiousness – he can turn on the charm.
    Check his two posts yesterday to Drone and Mike,
    and interestingly only one replied

    Fearlessness — a tendency to embrace risk without fear or
    anxiety

    His putting up the pilsendude on Betfair. Quite fearless and someone on their called for a psychiatrist, but Ricky brashly continues. Betfair chitchat doesn’t take prisoners

    Stress immunity — stays cool in difficult circumstances

    Despite no-one hardly talking to him on here, he is the coolest hippo in the Serengeti and just posts on as if nothing has happened. His poor reputation now doesn’t cause him any concern – cool as a cucumber

    Machiavellian egocentricity — a tendency to consider only personal needs

    He has certainly put his own personal vendetta needs well over the needs of this site. He has turned this the racing forum into a circus with its lights out

    Rebellious nonconformity — a tendency to neglect of social
    conventions and regulations

    The Pilsendude thread. Who would carry on an argument on another forum. This is nonconformist and breaks ethical rules

    Blame externalization — a tendency to assign blame for problems or obstacles to other people

    Has constantly shifted blame on Mr Pilsen, however it is so clear he threw the first cornflake remark, dressed Mr P in sequins, made louche remarks about him, involved an innocent poster -( Nathan), escalated on Betfair. In my view, Ricky who plainly put up an apology, suddenly says Mr Pilsen is the guilty one, and has even asked him for an apology

    Carefree lack of planning — limited willingness to make future plans

    Should have made a sensible withdrawn from this forum when his chips were down but no.

    Cold-heartedness — no guilt or remorse

    He rebuts all guilt and does not seem to care how his stinging remarks might cause harm or even hurt, he is oblivious and has a different mindset to most

    Oh dear , the drugs are defoo not working

    I would suggest that your final post has indeed made TRF look like a circus …..still you fight on to be the much coveted poster of the year

    Its true you have come close in former years , and were pipped time after time , these things happen for a reason dear boy :oops:

    However this year you saw our little spat as a vehicle to spew your genius , to the extent that you would be the champion of the board complete with white shining armour

    Glaringly obvious

    brilliant though

    as for the writing , as always excellent , entertaining and mildly crazy but thats your appeal sir

    so go on Betlarge , take it down ……I wish I could change my vote

    I will leave you to your ramblings ……the door is closed , nobody is listening ……..

    Ricky I have seen your post on the dude
    thread and your war is over message.
    Your decision to withdraw from this
    forum subject to behaviour issues
    is greeted warmly by me and I feel
    it is the right one because your
    position her is untenable. I am sorry
    it has gone like this.
    Few have looked in here true, it is not
    of major interest. As you are now away
    I will keep my comments respectful but
    continue to tell the truth as i see it.
    If you feel you need to reply might I
    suggest you reply from chit chat as
    I am following that.

    As far as the the award vote, you can
    change your vote to Mike, I am surprised
    you did not know this, and right up to
    7.59pm. To be honest I would readily forgoe
    any award I might win for a full apology
    from you to Mr Pilsen, or to put back
    time and somehow to have avoided this
    debacle. I should have stopped posting
    when it all started, but of course, the
    case must go on, but it shouldn’t have.

    You have supported me over the years and
    I have considered you a friend, however
    things have changed and cooled somewhat
    between us,and I think your opinion of me,
    notwithstanding your graciousness,
    has also changed.

    As far as the poster of the year, I have some
    years made good headway early on, but I have
    never done better than joint third I think.
    It is hardly surprising as I am not a mainstream
    writer. I have written a lot this last month
    as I have been confined, and of course the bleak
    report earlier.

    As far as Mr Pilsen asking for my help, that
    did not happen. I replied to a PM from him
    some years ago but that is it. I did try to
    PM him two days ago but failed, he appears
    not even to be in the alphabetical list.
    I tried unsuccessfully to PM you but you had
    the function switched off.

    Good luck with your poker and Irish racing
    if you are still into that, and if you don’t
    go large on your vote at least go large on
    the turkey. All the best for Xmas and beyond.

    I have cancelled my two intended actions yesreday
    and hopefully that is it.

    I have read your latest message on chit chat
    You can call me a nutter, I take it graciously,
    I feel I am somewhat nuts to spend my time
    on dissecting things in cyber space when
    I should be out there, enjoying more of the big wide
    world. By all means escalate things if you wish,
    I am happy to be your sacrificial lamb, but
    please confine yourself to chit chat.

    I have not decided to withdraw from here , and frankly is not your decision to decide whether my position is untenable or not

    dream on Sir ,..and happy Christmas , hope seriously that you make a full recovery

    You do not decide my actions and postings gamble , to presume that you do is at best delusional , at worst mischievous

    Rock on

    I can decide if your position
    is untenable on here, but you
    are right, I cannot decide
    whether you post here or
    stay on here.

    I took your,

    I will leave you to
    your ramblings

    as a suggestion
    you were leaving. Obviously
    it does’t infer that and I am
    wrong to have suggested it.

    Ricky writes at 10.56 on chit chat

    "aaaaah its official . dr gamble is a nutter ….according to Physc centre ….it appears Miss Pilsendude may be normal in comparison ……and all for poster of the year ….the grail , the often denied . suddenly within reach , desperation strikes ……sad innit , the fings folks will do to seek peer approval, and preen in the glow of victory , king of the boards for one day , crowned at last ……yep its that sad Tongue OutTongue OutTongue Out

    Now Dude , I have forgiven you , for the moment anyhow , I have other fish to fry , and frankly your issue pales into insignificance, so just get on with it

    have a good one miss ……

    as for the deaf doctor ……well now , the party has just begun …….."

    You seem in the words of Katy Perry
    to

    blow hot to blow cold


    There is such a polarity to your
    posts. You have very changing emotions,
    because the previous post on chit chat
    100 minutes earlier was fairly warm
    and conciliatory. I suppose the question
    I ask myself is, what changed in that time ?

    This is all abnormally interesting as for the very first time in my experience you, Gamble are so obviously irritated, so obviously serious and your prose so obviously obvious; it’s actually a welcome lifting of the black ‘n’ bleak niqab and burqa, though I didn’t think for one second it would be your loyal, adoring Robin who’d dare expose your undergarments

    The ‘serious’ punter may or may not have a psychopathic trait; but what I believe is an unquestionable attribute of said abnormal being is that of having a hippo skin: slings, arrows, jibes, praise, admiration, recognition bounce off that waxy, slippery hide and get stuck in the closed, waxy canal of prominent auricles while the thousand-yard stare into the Big Blue yonder remains fixed

    Ricky the 60-something teenager and long-time punter seems to feel he’s suffered a near-fatal shot by an elephant gun wielded by Mr Pilsen, whereas in truth the lager drinker was only teasing and annoying with his usual carefully-aimed shuttlecock: bounce, bounce: keep on keeping on

    Is this just a message board inhabited by urban spacemen, or is this real life?

    TV is crap this yuletide, save for M R James and the Ealing Comedies so I do hope you continue to entertain me, and I’m sure the rest of the members of this select lounge

    Don’t go Ricky!
    Don’t go Gamble!

    Virtual life wouldn’t be worth living without you :lol:

    My take on this too Drone

    Ricky Lake can’t take
    a poke about his weight

    Ricky’s was a total over-reaction to a barbed comment which was
    qualified by Mr Pilsen as not to be taken too seriously. How was
    Pilsen to know that Lake had a previous weight issue that he was
    very sensitive too.

    Weeks and weeks of taunts followed and a huge thread on chit chat.
    It just beggars belief. Both men are touchy, Lake particualarly so
    and I always handled with care.

    I value your judgement Drone, so unlike me you feel that Ricky
    Lake should continue posting in here with his spots and stubble.
    I disagree with you – he should take a very long walk in my opinion back to the Serengeti. An apology to Mr Pilsen will never happen and would it really make up for all the tripe ?

    What has more than irritated me about him is his failure to see
    exactly that it is his unreasonable reaction that has caused all this. I have spent a lot of time on this and Ricky’s continued belligerence has meant I have lost most of my respect for him.
    He may cheer you up, but his persistence to fail to see his errors has totally bored me.

    Pilsen is right I am a part time writer but actually spend part-time in a year far more time than a yearly poster expends.

    I was thinking to put his position to a public vote, that was one of the actions I was considering last night but got locked out of the site. The other one I wouldn’t say.
