Paul Haigh and a TRF misapprehension

[Ardross]

Easy stream of consciousness levity ?

It is like listening to a pub bore !

[gamble]

I tend to think Haigh bumped into Down in a sleazy corridor and gave him ammunition and inspiration for his fine sheep article of last week. Either that or he reads me.;)

[gamble]

Ian it’s a mad hatter world :biggrin:

[gamble]

I was living in a slum in Shoreditch at the time Haigh wrote about his daily visits to the east end bookies in bethnall green road…drat forget the name, little green shops, but I used them of occasion and checked the shop for a bully face with a grin…never saw him. He might have seen me trotting up the road.

[gamble]

Come on Turtle – you’ve got four feet like me- give me the name of those bloomin shops.

Haigh touches the common man chord without being too flatcap – he uses maffs.  

[turtle]

No idea about the little green shops Gamble. It’s a long haul for a turtle from Wales to the East End. Unlike Paul, I never made it.

[gamble]

Hmmm, a 6pm posting.

A suitable time to end a racing day, mixed in with some pen work. The wig doesn’t fool a detective of my staure. You are either Haigh himself, or connected to the man by birth, marriage, or drinking slate.

Well I used to be on another racing site that talked horses but found everyone there totally self absorbed and cliquish so left some months ago.<br>Just started posting here today and hope we can get some real discussion going.

‘You are either Haigh himself, or connected to the man by birth, marriage, or drinking slate.’

In my dreams, Gamble, in my dreams…

Welcome Saddlers Wells, hopefully you’ll find it here.

[gamble]

I will second that :o , but as they say nothing is certain in this life. I got short shrift too in the Talking site when I went out of kilter with the mods – they deleted all my posts and I am a name they care to forget. I noticed Merlin led a double life for a time, but I don’t know if he still posts there.

Strangely enough Grasshopper I do see a lot of clarity in Haigh’s pieces.

Sadlers, what name did you  post under on the place where they talk horses? Your username here doesn’t exist there. Merlin is still there and posts frequently. It is possible to be a member of more than one place.

[Lovely Lady]

I see the latest member is called ‘Zorro’ !  Now where have I heard that before ?   Perhaps Mr Haigh is closer than you think…

[Jane]

So we’re all left wondering if it is the real Zorro or someone taking the p***. No doubt Zorro will make his presence known  in due course.

With a big "Z".:o
