    There’s not a lot wrong with this forum, other than that some of the posts are unintelligible.

    Try to write in English: why should people give you the time of day when you can’t be arsed to make an effort with something so basic?

    Good forum, TRF.

    Ugly Mare (I know who you are ;)), I don’t think there’s anything wrong with eccentricity period.

    What puzzles me is the point of this thread. Is there anything wrong with TRF, that the termination (preferably with extreme prejudice) of the Flat season won’t put right?

    I think we both know the answer to that one, don’t we?

    Sanity will prevail once Choc does his thing in the late Autumn – he’s dreamy don’t you know. :mrgreen:

    lol…indeed he is, and lucky are the mares he’ll be riding :D

    A forum generally works like this .. a person writes something, an opinion or whatever and then someone comes along and agrees with it.

    Then someone else comes along and disagrees with it. Then you either defend your original assertion or you debate and change your mind. Or you agree to disagree.

    And we all stay friends, and the community grows and we gravitate towards the folk we generally agree with. We all stay grown up and enjoy.

    You should never take anything personal, I don’t, I don’t give a monkeys. The only way TRF could be improved would be more people posting and more diverse views.

    yeah, and I think the place could do with some more women who have the time to become regular posters as they can give a different slant to things, perhaps less betting or ratings orientated. I wonder if some women feel a bit intimidated about joining in some discussions.
    There used to be quite a few but have largely disappeared. I’d like to see more threads started by women both in the Lounge and Horse Racing on a range of topics but I wonder sometimes if they don’t feel entirely at home here.

    There are many things wrong with this forum, mostly behind the scenes and they are taking an age to get sorted (not Corm’s fault), also there used to be plenty of female members that used to post here and also use the chatroom (the good old days), I wish they’d all come back and that the forum would go back to the way it was before but having said that I’m not going to get annoyed over it anymore I’m just going to let TRF slide along at 10mph and see where it ends up.

    i would suggest that if someone found everything and everyone on an open internet forum to their liking it would likely be totally used by one boring bunch of trainspotters

    variety helps, imo

    I like this forum even though it can be a bit scarey at times and I don’t post much in the racing section because I know nowt about UK racing – well I know enough to fill a postage stamp. in large size font

    hi KT,
    I hope it’s not raining where you are, it always seems to be so when I check the weather for that region…lol..

    I’m sorry you feel it can be a bit scarey. I think men enjoy talking [arguing] with other men mostly, don’t you? but if we’ve got something to say we should just feel free to say it and that applies to everyone.
    I think I know about 5 or 6 other women on here from time to time. Used to be a lot more. I notice you pop up here and there quite regularly which is good and most welcome, I’m enjoying your contributions, it’s just that a lot of us ladies are infrequent visitors, perhaps for reasons Dave alluded to earlier..lol…as registration is easier now, maybe things will change there.

    I’d like to see Lydia Hislop post more often too, she understandably creates quite a bit of interest.

    Hi Ugly Mare! It can just be a wee bit intimidating but it’s OK us racing folk are tough :twisted: :D and so long as I don’t mention the Jambos winning last weekend I think I’m safe…………….. oops :shock:
    Yes it is raining here surprise, surprise! :lol: I’m used to it now and me and my 5 umbrellas get along really well, if only I can remember where I’ve left them all.
    We raced last night on the sand and it resembled American dirt racing, most of the jocks came back in 2kgs over weight after each race :shock:
    Mind you it’s still about 90% humidity and the pool is looking inviting :D
