    Ikon board had its issues but like the Flutter betting interface was a beatiful template which was a joy to use – the difference to banksie and Barclays. I liked the outages in fact and would prefer this board was closed at certain times in the year. Rather than trying to grow into something it can never be I would have kept it as a small tight little ship. A lot went overboard in the move.

    If it was to have grown then joining it onto an exchange was the only way to go and this route was closed off back in tbe day.

    New lamps for old has worked to a limited degree but the old barred members who just fell out with the ruling party are sorely missed. Twitter and Facebook have taken a lot there is no denying. Just a few thoughts. I see that Betfair has incorporated timed bans and I advocated this years ago. A **** you should not be a death sentence.

    Quite a nice day and these are just views and I am talking as an observer and I may well be wrong in some of the above outages – mine.

    Another thing – these sites are not FREE and never can be – the back room boys, the mods, the night oil grafting posters and even the advertisers (but less so) all sweat blood and tears to get this ” show ” on the road. The lurkers and flies do get a semi-free ride but their reading of posts and watching time is also of value and flies have a short life so watching us and the bleak long silences is a true labour of boredom. B-)

    You may have set a few tongues wagging there Nathan

    They’ll have to wag carefully as to not catch a fly
    they have been known to swarm around in their thousands and are quite partial to a bit of tongue

    Well Nathan as to a possible political statement – recent political shenanigans have resulted in lines and lines of refreshed underwear blowing free in the dirty air emanating from Westminster.

    Not Bill
    he just likes wearing his wifes blouses and lipstick but that is just a hobby and not one of life choices or being trapped in the wrong body. Our Billyboy would still be classified as a straight, white Caucasian.

    No this Bill never changes his underwear and wears pots. His girlfriend is into sunbathing and nudism and has a face like a frying pan – quite pretty though.

    A yellow-jacketed, bacon-and-egg tied devotee of the noble game and fellow scholar of magnified five-point Times New Roman means, modes, medians but who was rather disappointingly known by the surname of a Spanish player of the ugly game who lives neither north or south of Watford

    A hughes loss to the forum :unsure:

    Albert Trott took four wickets in four balls for Middlesex v Somerset in 1907 and later in the same innings took a hat-trick

    Mummerset were easy meat until the arrival of Close, Richards, Botham, Garner et al in the 1970’s and the rather unsung Jimmy Cook was at least their equal. Good, good cricketing times you’ve had Nathaniel
