    Nathan,

    I tried again this afternoon – still coming-up with “database” error.

    Sorry.

    Thank you for keep trying Matron, much appreciated
    it’s no problem with something like this but I shall not be doing the TRF Awards in December as it was a complete nightmare the last time.
    I’ll be stepping down from that.

    Whilst my back was turned
    A horse ate a syllable
    of this haiku.

    Adoptive father of two. The patron saint of lower-grade fare. A gently critical friend of point-to-pointing. Kindness is a political act.

    Theracingforum:

    All the lies they told ’em
    on the racing forum
    did not fit in the racing world.
    They were right and I was wrong,
    I just had to – tag along.
    Only knew what form taught me.
    Remember when Gord’ faught me.
    Now I spend my life just trying to get out of the way.
    It came to a head one night.
    Two threads and… two fights.
    All my mates just ran away.
    And as I logged out
    with blood and tears on my best shirt,
    someone shouts “watch out”!
    “You’ll get hurt”!

    I began to wonder
    what did I do wrong here?
    I began to wonder
    do I belong here?
    I was lonely then.
    Did the forum have it in for me?
    How cool I must have ben,
    All Timeform, odds and misery.
    Whenever I go back
    there’s lessons still to be learned.
    ‘Cos those same userpers
    wait behind usernames
    until I returned.

    With the Timeform paid for
    I can kill those bookies.
    But with threads like Botchy’s and Joni’s
    they’ve no need
    of Timeform to succeed.
    That said
    with 50 percent
    profits I feed,
    may be I should be paid for
    my tips on Gingers Winners?
    But all I need is occasional thanks,
    from The Racing Forum ranks…
    And not too many whingers.

    I thought that form only exists
    in my eyes.
    But it exists
    in Steve’s mind.
    You think that form only exists
    in your eyes.
    But it exists
    where Steve lies…
    In Tee Are Ef.

    Value Is Everything
