    Give him another star—another two stars—I say!

    Right, when do we get to flush his head down the lavatory?

    :biggrin:  Creepo will be along shortly

    <br>ps.. NV they are closing the hall next year for a revamp…might be worth waiting for the five star flipper cuisine. There is an excellent kebab joint on the Kings road – no grease

    Zorro,

    can I recommend starting a silly conversation with yourself in the lounge as an excellent way of improving your situation viz a viz stars.

    Or Word Association.

    Stellar envy is a terrible thing…..

    Sorry Ian you slipped a post in without me seeing which is unusual.

    Might you give Paul one further question about the interior of where he worked. You might possibly know his brand of cigarette, or something like that. After all he might be having  good google at us. ;)

    Well Paul, I am glad I didn’t diss your writing in any way, in fact you owe me I have read you for years :cool:

    <br>This is in danger of getting out of hand.

    Is Zorro The Racing Forum’s long prophesied saviour? surely not!

    Oh dear is it that long<br> I and others have been marooned<br> at the mercy of  these tipsy tides of derision<br> Will Self will have me down as a gibberer<br> as I recall his haunting line

    Turtle you will write much more easily on your back :)

    Having skewered this stellar thread out of orbit<br> I will make amends and ground it back into<br> the swordman Zorro’s lap.

    Paul Haigh, I do not know of anyone who has made such an unusual and novel entrance to this wobbly<br>place of opinions. Might I welcome you and later direct one question towards you that is of some interest to me.

    You have received a warm welcome, in this place where people come and go. Ardross is your one detractor it seems, but a small and scattered windy village in the cold highlands might find little in common anyway with a man of seductivey slippery words from cosy cardigan bay.  

    My question is this and Ian touched on it earlier.<br> The wonders of the web has only touched your writing when the sun had set, the ink was dry, and we were all addicts.

    Why exactly was that ?

    Gamble. It works, it works! Five years of writer’s block over, just like that. Thanks to you I have finally  completed my master oeuvre ‘Socio economic background to the growth of pit-pony racing in Merthyr Tydfil 1850-1878′<br>Just one thing, I seem to be stuck. Could someone…please….. help… me ..up ?:o
