I can see the point you’re making Drone. Having said that, having been on many forums over the years I have met up with several internet people in ‘the real world’ and, thus far those that I think are nice on the internet have always turned out to be nice in real life. As for Tank, anyone that is pals with Nathan can’t be all that bad! I’ve made some wonderful friends from forums.In fact, several of the people I regard as good friends in the real world these days started out as internet friendships and, due to covid real friends are now purely internet friends anyway. Having said that, I’m glad I’m not young and having to deal with cyberspace relationships; I’d hate to be a teenager now. I probably didn’t have an inbuilt niceometer back then. In fact, I know I didn’t!
Moe, I remember meeting you at Cheltenham
I was wearing my orange Canford Cliffs hoodie and you had that cool Newcastle hat on
It was on the Tuesday Vautour won the Supreme, sadly no longer with us
Best to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all
Moe if the forum handed out awards for the biggest heart
You would win it every year…

I’ll always like Moe whatever- guess we won’t be meeting up anytime soon at Exeter races though. As I’m an honest person, I really can’t lie and say that I don’t now find it funny about lovely Moe having midnight walks, disinfecting everything in sight, worried about someone whizzing by her on a bike and people who picked the fruit box that she’d ordered. Seems mental to me.
Did you ever get your Lady Buttons scarf, Moe? She’s having fun in Ireland now, as I’m sure you know. I got a scarf from Jayne and it’s yours if you didn’t manage to get one. It’s brand new and unworn. just let me know.
Take care- and you’re lucky to have your partner, some of us are living the solitary life and not necessarily by choice. Maybe that’s what makes me a bit of a curmudgeon at times and looking to grab some fun wherever I can.
LOL
No bloody way, Nathan: I’ll never be that.
Marriage is just a religious piece of paper.Value Is EverythingI can love and spend my life with a Shirley without needing a piece of paper or ring to tell me am in a lasting loving relationship.
Value Is EverythingI have got my Lady Buttons scarf Tank. Adam Nicols dad got one for me but I obviously haven’t had a chance to wear it yet.Following Adams training career closely; he’s doing very well. I’m still desperate to get to Dartmouth to visit my friend Chris; ditto a couple of weeks in Cornwall. To be honest it’s nice having a partner but I’m not very good at having someone around all the time, hence my solitary walks and time spent on the internet. Not too keen on visitors, either, as the only time most people visited me was when the racing was on because they knew I’d be in,so I’d have to turn the sound down. Grrr. Do you remember the friend I was with at Cheltenham, Nathan? I met her at a laidees forum meet up and we’ve been friends ever since. Apart from our annual Cheltenham meet up we met up at Wincanton a few years ago. And your lovely dad and Deaf John [?]. Now I’m ancient and feel the cold I even sleep in the Newcastle hat. It may have to be surgically removed at some point.
I can vaguely remember you friend Moe.
Father passed away in the May 2019. Miss him terribly
He would have hated covid as he was always out and about going different places on the bus
I must phone Deaf John, spoke to him about a few weeks ago and he was bored senselessGaelic Warrior Gold Cup Winner 2026
Moe. Give me a shout when you have another Ladies Forum meet up..I can wear my Frankel Hat and promise to bring my Desert Orchid umbrella whether it rains or not .. I bought it at Dessies last open day at the National Stud after staying behind to speak with Midge, Janet and Jim before they took him back to David Elsworths yard. Six weeks later he was gone.
Sadly Midge passed away a few years back now. What a lovely person she was and what great open days she put on. JacThings turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...- Total Posts 2553
That’s another thing I’ll need to look up, Drone.
Moe your emotional posting about the lady friend you sadly lost had a big impact on me, and have to say, that since that time I find she has become a constant in my mind. I have been thinking of her when I go to bed and when I wake up and when I am out on my daily drives. Strange because I have formed a strong picture of what she is like, and that is partly through knowing a lot about you. Count me among the secret Moe followers by the way.
Truth be told I have really got to like her. I have a special affection for old people (including myself although I still feel as young as a spring day and act like a young fool and can mimmick many animals – but I cannot ignore the “Oh bless you” I on occasion hear from presumably young strangers over the phone )
My Gran died at the same age as your friend and I was so sad as it felt, even at the slip of a young age I was then, that part of me had gone with her.
🐢…what about 🔒 up – in place of lockdown ?
Thanks gamble. I never knew my own grandparents and think I’ve probably spent most of my life looking for a surrogate granny. Although if I found one she’d have to be pretty old by now! I’ve always thought I was my grandad reincarnated. I was born round about the time that he died. He was a bit of a rogue by all accounts but loved a flutter on the horses. Worked with the railway horses at one stage of his life and would sleep in the stable with one if it was ill.
Oh Moe oh Moe oh Moe oh Moe oh Moe…
I was lead to that absurdity by tracking off the new byway to the rarely visited these days Bates Motel – re-booking myself into cabin four then stepping out into the moonlight to see gamble rocking himself to sleep in the top window of the now infamous house. I walked back into my cabin, resigning myself to my unbridled passion and knelt at the side of my bed to repeat the same old prayer.
” Mea culpa mea culpa – I must stop watching that window.I love that woman to bits – and far more than Norman.”
I was going to say that’s very thoughtful of you albeit in a slightly Bates Motel kinda way but me and the dog had a duvet day on the sofa yesterday and I could only read TRF, not reply. For some reason my ipad won’t let me log on and I was too lazy to go upstairs and switch the computer on. It made me laugh, though!
