Paul Haigh and a TRF misapprehension

[gamble]

THEME – NO THEME

I hand over to the racing purists.<br> I just can’t do it<br> my battery is completely gorn<br> and order wins the day.

All chat show hosts are naff – simple thing is they are dealing with a soiled product, the stiffly starched pre-arranged chat of interest.

This Zorro thread demands a better end<br> What would Gene Hackman do ?

[gamble]

Gene Hackman who bears an uncanny resemblance to Beefy once wrote…

                 

" It really cost me a lot emotionally to watch myself on-screen. <br>                     I think of myself,<br>                     and feel I’m quite young,<br>                     and then I look at this old man <br>                     with baggy chins<br>                     and the tired eyes<br>                     and the receding hairline<br>                     and all that."

        I couldn’t do that could you ?

   I thought if Gene can do that, then I can mix it with the racing purists and give them the mask of Zorro in racing.

:shhh:

 Fourteen years ago the racing world was in total shock. Not only was the almost odds on giant of a horse Carvills Hill beaten out of sight in the Gold Cup, but another horse 150/1 Golden Freeze was sent out with a tactic, or so it was reported, to harry and upset the Irish superstar.

  Mrs Pitman furiously denied all attacks, and even the horse seemed to support her. As Freeze was led away after being pulled up in the race, he stopped to talk to reporters and said.." Mark her words she’s as clean as a whistle. "

  I expect the truth is found in Mrs. P’s book.." Life on the edge " – the title of which was nicked from gamble’s travels

flatcapgamble…the Golden Freeze affair is long dead, but it has pulled my tongue out. Any more on the mask of racing ?

[tooting]

Blimey – a week away in Herefordshire, stocking up on shell suits, and on my return this thread is still top of the pops.

[gamble]

Herefordshire eh ? That’s prime bull country

Strangely when I first spied the beautiful symmetry of Mr Davies’s title words. The sixteen letters and spaces and how they fitted, I thought of sixteen pages.

Paul Haigh and a (16)<br>TRF<br>misapprehension (16)

Flatcapgamble.. :sing:

Oh<br>when you’re drinking, <br>when you’re stinking<br>you see a different point of view ….Dean Martin

[gamble]

Whether 16 is reached is of no consequence…in fact the song what kind of clown am I rings in my head for mentioning it.

I am however interested in the numbers of letters in a word…they can be significant

Haigh<br>Zorro

Interestingly enough capitals too. The word Zorro demands a capital, but capitals can denote a large ego. The balanced even letters in a six or eight letter word can induce a balanced mind. Five letters indicate a strong point of view – a person who goes out on a limb. If there are two words, it will depnd which predominates. What I am suggesting is that a name or word has power to change behaviour.

 I am interested in length of letters in a words in respect of my codebreaking work. My 911 enquiry was full letters and codes.

Let’s move on, and give some plaudits.

[gamble]

I will be removing my clogs toight, so if anyone is bored rest assured you will have a gamble-free day tomorrow.

[gamble]

I refer to this thread particularly – I have other work to finish.

Serendipity again…Rory…

He’s just told us – just outside of wedlock. Isn’t that Herefordshire ?

<br> I hate overkill and showing myself to be cloyingly gracious..but Rory has a very strange mind.. I appreciate it though, and the fine opening thrust of Zorro’s that Rory referred to. Both five star.

Davies *has* to be mentioned for his fine opening which gushed a challenge, also a bunch of fives. I have more ….Chaplin, Hackman, and Gervais sit well together

flatcapgamble..fascinating

[gamble]

As we are in film let us push a name about..Enigma

What made the thread so successful was of course Zorro’s bold unusual back door entrance. Another factor was his important silence, which aided the ‘suspense’. Turtle was an important contituent. He added flavour.

Rating…

93…Oh dear, I think I have been demoted…Scream one two and three..starring  Kathy Hepburn and Mr W. Knight. Contained enough Intrigue and murder to shock Poe. Police later interviewed Mr. Knight with regard to his overly realistic acting.

90..Jellied Eels…Clockwork Orange Set in Southend gamble turned up armed with an M11 380 calibre handgun for a shoot out on the pier. Keith the teeth and Razeen silenced the lamb by sleeping in – in fear.

90…Missaprehension.. Enigma . What went down here ? It was very unusual and maintained a taught highly racheted suspense throughout. Gene Hackman wore a black suit and flashed his silverware convincingly. Wilfred Hyde White bedazzled in a large pair of totoise shells.

I have checked the celebrity Q & A. All excellent reads. This is safer territory of course. Everyone was so extra nice to Clare Balding though, does she bite ? Of course Zorro didn’t give too much away in the clinches did he :laugh:

flatcapgamble.. all too intellectual for me I’m afraid.

GAMBLE , you are a national treasure , your posts are a treat ,

dont go just yet !!

ps my name has five letters as well , but might change it to Hippo in the near future as I seem to have grown a hump regarding banded racing :biggrin:

<br>cheers

Ricky

[gamble]

Ricky no wonder you had the knives out for Zorro :biggrin: – two fives together are like chucky and Hannibal entertaining each other at a blood tea party.

As for going, I did say that I was gone last week, and I wish people would just getta outta da town rather than keep making false shouts.

 Zorro carefully side-stepped his detractors, (and I remember you as one Ricky), which showed a certain panache and a lot of sense. I shall take note of his tactics for future use myself.

 Turtle now calls himself ‘ ancient turtle ‘. Wilfred Hyde White was the only old actor I could think of, erm just twigged another ..Alec Guiness, but turtle really could be anyone.. Bruce Willis, Jack Nicholson  ( chinatown/ batman’s joker spring to mind ), or even the saucy Susan Saronson. He has that many suits.

I am relaxing with a nice Haut Medoc and a vintage winged armchair. Suedehead just mentioned Cool Ground at Toby Balding’s – now he beet Carvills Hill and won the 92 Gold Cup… Serendipity.

I have a little more…

<br>flatcapgamble…gawd :grumpy:

[gamble]

Ricky thanks for your support but be careful – people will start thinking I am Mr. Lake as well as Jenny – our Kathy in Boots :cool:

[gamble]

I mentioned serendipity but am interested in perspective and would like to relate the time I greyhounded through the US with a fistful of nothing…Zorro might like this cos he travels..

I met two nicely rounded girls in the South of France and in twelve months time I was sitting bang opposite one in a splendid mansion house in a place called Mcloud in Sacramento. Mount Shasta was nearby which I had bummed down the day before. Anyway..it was a thirty roomed mansion and outside was the biggest saw mill in da world, her Dad’s toy, now I can certainly pick ’em and I had a choice of three personal bathrooms; red, white, and blue – plus the little extra SERVICES. Even Self would of liked that.

Next I hopped down to San Francisco and stayed with a salesman friend of hers, a Mr Larry Levy, strong name but a silly fella. I was sitting in a room of five americans, and one shouted out..

   " Damn – we gotta take this stoodent out to the Golden Gate – he aint lived if he aint seen it. Cake was passed around, but I passed on that one. "  

  The sun was setting and boy the bridge looked fine with its pink halo backdrop, but hey, these guys were whooping at it, comparing it to poetry and eulogising in fff’s. I just saw the metal and pink. This went on for twenty minutes and I felt outta da group, an outsider, a silly stoodent that couldn’t appreciate art.

One mentioned there had been 499 suicides to date and said there was bound to be one humpty numpty out there, to do it – jump just for the fame – to get his name in the papers. They all shrieked at this – but I thought it was just sad, very sad.

Course it was in the cake wasn’t it – full of mindbenders and they were tripping. Different perspective – a razeen world :biggrin: .

.. talking of s**t
, it takes me back to the ol’ country and pretty little chiquitta and Maw ‘n Paw.

One day, as I remember, it was Paw’s birthday and he was happy and he asked Chiquitta to roll him a special cigar. Maw was doin three extra lines at Bingo that night, to win somethin nice for Paw..it being his birthday. Hey – Paw still shouted ‘hit those numbers Maw’ as she left and Chiquitta giggled, but Paw didn’t laugh he was too busy fetchin’ his serious snout. We all sat on the rocker – but suddenly Paw looked strange, he had the evil eye on him. Weren’t long before he was dogging it around the carpet shouting eee haaaw and almost laughing his @ss off.

 Chiquitta and I got frightened and we snook upstairs hid together under the covers in my bear room. It was when I was snuggled up with Chiqui in my little bed that I sort of realised why Paw liked her so much. She had special hair, sort of sheep.
