    I was swaying towards Davies
    being very real – but of course
    Mr Pilsen had the added advantage
    of knowing he himself had not
    created Davies. I did not have
    this knowledge and viewed all
    evidence with a certain suspicion.
    That is why he was one ahead of us.
    As a detective one has to feel
    the wounds and see them.

    Like you I am in no real hurry
    with this and will contribute
    at my leisure. Possibly deal with
    the hippo’s three ewe turns next. :|

    Whatever happened to Jilly?
    I bet she logged in hidden and voted for you, gamble. :)

    She is predictably sitting in the
    vest country with her adoring
    pipe’n slippers man. She has her
    own cubbyhole not that far away
    like a lot of very insependent
    women. She got a lot of stick on
    here at one time, but got over it :wink:
    after posting some adorable photos
    of her part of the world she was
    gone in a puff of smoke.
    I would have been the only
    recipient of her vote,
    but who would return
    to vote in a foreign land where
    less than one percent of the
    normals got up off their backside ?

    I referred to Jilly as Kathy
    in boots. There were similarities.
    Kathy unlike Jilly was a member
    of the mostly male horse owning elite club.
    She looked at the whole enterprise
    with a woman’s purse. I will
    not broach on any details
    my lips are sealed, but sides
    were taken. Her departure was
    one of the most thrilling events
    (Oh dear I think I may have been demoted

    Daylight come and you wanna go home

    Refreshing my memory of that old thread
    I did a re-shoot of Wuthering Heights
    with Kathy the Queen of Nark and Balance
    entertaining three black ladies (in his dreams)
    in his room after a long shoot. It all ended
    with the banana song.
    Slippy Blue, commenting on the thread,
    was in the company of Kathy
    and must have been at a meet
    of the ol race owning club. The elite I
    called them and it was drinks after a
    race meeting. Yes there was a gathering and
    I remember Slippy writing what a fine spectacle
    Kathy was. It all seems like yesterday to me.
    To go back even further I can see Ihaventalight’s
    double arm bounce emoticon – a little green creature
    with long arms :doublearmbounce: at the prospect
    and anticipation of seeing Kathy on the thread
    which of course was the infamous Jellied eels.
    The man from Essex was not disappointed.

    I took over Pewters head for a time when he left.
    Razeen changed his for a modern gent but it did not
    work for him so back came the monacle.

    But this is war ladies and gentlemen
    I will put on the kettle and consider
    the three ewe turns…up next for appraisal

    Ricky’s three startling ewe turns.

    1. Mr Ian Davies was confirmed by Ricky as Mr Ian Davies after his phone call. Then a retraction. the biggest U turn since Bush Senior said read my lips, according to Ian Davies

    2. The bleak apology – soon regretted and forgotten. If only Ricky had left it there, but he wanted everything back as it was with a compliant and possibly grateful Mr P.

    3. Stated he would avoid Mr P like the plague – but then stalked him on the pop in thread, and set up a Betfair radio channel in his honour. Two more radio staions were to follow with few listeners. The recent sheep thread based in Phuket is colourful and has some humour in it and will appeal to a general audience. Few people remember me on Betfair at least in chit chat,just Slippy Blue and Baby Jesus who must have changed his name. Rather disappointing considering the years I wrote in there.

    Ricky demanded Mr P scarper from this site then for me to get my coat. He then wanted Mr P to come back to fight his corner. Is this another U turn I ask myself ?

    I did mention that there was a shaft of light in the bleak thread. There will be some sort of resolution today, some sort of reckoning. I decided all this when I woke up this morning.

    GAMBLE WROTE:
    most succinct comment of the night goes to Ricky

    is Diane Avis really back , and are you his clone , or is it the other way round …… :?

    Most stupid comment of the night more like.

    When Ricky stated the tone has definitely changed over the past few days, before writing his trans gender bait, he was referring to Mr Pilsen’s comments above. So it was not purely the weight reference but also this post that inflamed the Hippo. Mr P was not all sweetness and light, however his scathing was kept to normal levels whereas Ricky’s contained venom and would endure as long as the 100 years war. I feel he should shoulder the blame for undue escalation and of course the Ewe turns. :|

    A hanging vote between Lake and Pilsen
    was something I was considering but a
    very very messy business. I went for
    the gibbet in the end :mrgreen:

    REAL SOLUTION HERE TO HIPPO WAR

    The Owl and the Pussycat set out to sea in a pea green boat with honey and "plenty of money" wrapped in a five pound note. The Owl serenades the Pussycat while gazing at the stars and strumming on a small guitar. He describes her as beautiful. The Pussycat responds by describing the Owl as an "elegant fowl" and compliments him on his singing. She urges they marry but they don’t have a ring. They sail away for a year and a day to a land where Bong trees grow and discover a pig with a ring in his nose in a wood. They buy the ring for a shilling and are married the next day by a turkey. They dine on mince and quince using a "runcible spoon", then dance hand-in-hand on the sand in the moonlight.

    As you once suggested Ricky
    I will do your porridge for you
    and keep away from the lounge
    for a year and a day. Your
    responsibility is to either join
    me or put flame work into this
    place to keep it going.

    I am jointly responsible in not
    having addressed the issues when they
    arose – I just plugged on with my
    enquiry. I am a great believer
    in timed bans. I will allow myself
    the possibility of three posts
    here if anything needs clearing up
    but doubt that will be necessary.

    The war as far as I am concerned
    has ended 8)
    And a happy New Year
    Let’s hope it’s a good one
    Without any fear :mrgreen:

    how about we both go away for a month and a day ….let Mr Pilsen come back and put some colour into this place , as it is truly dead now

    Hi Ricky,
    it is lucky for this site that some people still have terrific energy here to write. I have just read Robert99’s take on FOBT’S from his Gamcare and personal bookmaking experiences. Quite fascinating ! Horse racing topics are the engine of this site – well they do not have to be, but they are expected to be, and that is where a lot of the energy comes from – The old Pinza thread for example. My passion for horse racing has slowly eroded over time, and I have always been drawn to this little outpost, so here is where I mostly contribute.

    The Ian Davies expose and the black gateaux that followed it in the bleak thread, was a huge enterprise for me. It took me to Australia, Halifax, Phuket, Bora Bora, days investigating Heath Ledger and sociopathic tendencies. Quite a few interesting programmes I watched as a sidetrack, on topics covered in here. Yes very full time for months. Winning the comp was hardly expected but a nice cap to end all the work. I honestly would not have minded a jot if Mike had won, but suddenly I became quite competitive because I knew I would never have the energy again to win it.

    I do feel drained from my absorption in this strange place and the year and a day breakaway, slightly enforced, was my promised payback, for all the months of idleness and stargazing away from the real world. I have a lot of responsibilities and have a huge workload in 2014 and cannot see myself completing all I have set myself to do. I am by nature lazy. I have a huge window with views that excite me here, or a if I travel quite contrasting views to take in. These backdrops often inspire me to write, so although my health has been questionable in very recent times, I feel blessed with a fairly comfortable existence. I still have to graft at times though, like most. My delicious krones have deserted my fridge for some time. I do drink one or two glasses of goodish wine, trying to sip slowly over an evening – but not every evening. I have got rather used to this but do have the occasional cold beer – who knows possibly tonight ?

    As for your Betfair threads about me, they have been of high interest and educational, and I have enjoyed the so called criticism. It has made a nice change, and no need at all to take them down.

    …. let Mr Pilsen come back

    This is no easy matter. Mr Pilsen was indeed planning a break. He is a proud poster and has issues with the management. I do not think either of us could stage his comeback. He will come back, if he does at all, in his own good time. He may have settled into other routines. Writing on here takes huge time and energy and I think some realise this and for this reason drop away. There have been some good new additions and fine contributions. The old posters – some are ghosts – will always be missed. This is the nature of things.

    My energy is not spent but I feel a need to re-direct it, and I feel somewhat ashamed of the time – enjoyable as most of it has been – idling in here over many months on very minor issues, that most would gloss over at best. I have to continually dissect things again and again :|

    I will tear up my plan for a year away, but will in no way be constrained as to the timing of my return. I may make small odd contributions possibly, now and again, I really can not guess what I will do. Since Razeen left the place has gone a bit dim for me anyway, and my odd efforts to pretend he is back, and even the plastic on that blow up life replica I have of him, is getting a bit thin.

    You must do as you feel Ricky. The lounge was always a backwater, and no real problem with that. Occasionally it overflows, but this is rare, usually it just idles at a snails pace – the sort of pace that I quite enjoy living life at :lol:

    just a few more thoughts..

    The lounge even in older times
    was never hugely busy. It has
    always remained a backwater.
    Sometimes a good thread can
    re-vitalize it but when that
    finishes it reverts back often
    to just collecting dust.
    Obviously Mr Pilsen’s often quite
    late postings kept the place going
    and people would then look in
    more regularly. It is obviously
    up to Mr Pilsen or anyone else
    who wishes to put in daily effort.
    Certainly he kept the lights on
    for a good while.

    I do not think theses efforts
    are done with a view to keeping
    the lights on, rather just the
    pleasure of giving or sharing
    the odd thought.
    Some of the threads can be a bit
    wacky baccy and one would not
    possibly find them anywhere else.

    Alternatively just to look in
    and view the dust or go back
    and take a sneak at an old thread
    with the odd ghost can give a feeling
    of adventure.

    Ha ha ha ha ha ha
    another ewe turn :mrgreen:
    apparently the war is
    back on due to
    private Lake forgetting
    his glasses on a bombing
    raid.

    Yer honour I didn’t see it :mrgreen:

    The Travellers would sort the mess out with fisty cuffs.
    How about a game of on-line chess?
