    Hi guys,

    I was just thinking, it would be nice to put some faces to names on here, so I was wondering who is who on TRF.

    Are any of you in the media spotlight? It would be great to know who you all are, who I’m abusing and who I am brown nosing etc :lol:

    I know Prufrock is Simon Rowlands, AP Racing is an owner, Zorro is Paul Haigh, as well as Lydia and Boycie posting under their own names etc – but who are the rest of you?

    Me, I’m a nobody, I’ve never been on TV in my life (apart from Crimewatch), never been on radio either. I do a bit of football writing as most will know, but that’s it.

    So I’m left wondering, just who is who on here. If I had to hazard a guess, this is what I would come up with;

    Graysonscolumn = Geoffrey Archer
    Ugly Mare = Cherie Blair
    Empty Wallet = Ken Dodd
    The Welsh Wizard = Evan Williams
    Madman Marz = Simon Cowell
    Cormack15 = Gordon Brown (the PM version)
    Steveh31 = Statto
    Seabird = Ellen Macarthur

    So do any of you care to divulge your real identity? Who is Sir Bob and who is Matt Chapman? :lol:

    Lee Mackenzie and Richard Hoiles have been known to post on here.

    Mike there is a bit of a giveaway in my posts, that might tell you that I might not be Ellen MacArthur……….seabird refers to the horse.

    I have to admit to being Colin Phillips, and I am also a nobody. Ain’t it great! :lol:

    (((spits coffee all over monitor and errupts in a fit of coughing)))

    Lord B*starding Smegging Archer?!?!?

    Um, not quite!

    I look like Harry Potter dragged through a hedge backwards, think like the soppy LibDemmer I am, and sound like…. well, go and find the podcast or radio shows.

    I wondered if Seabird was going to be thrilled with your approximation of him as well! :shock: :)

    I’m trying to think of any other famous folk I know from the north-east who can argue a bit. Would MikkyMo73 resemble, in any way shape or form, Jimmy Nail with a dictionary? :D

    Indeedy yes. And never deny him any opportunity to tell you about the day he out-rode jockeys x, y and z around Stockton Park back in nineteen seventy-whenever.

    Bloody hell, imagine a cross between Thommo and Paul Daniels, how annoying would he be? :lol:

    "Maybe, but not a lot!"

    of course I am also a nobody – however, the guy who sold me a car this week said I had an ‘aura’….I think it’s a ‘there’s one born very minute’ aura….will ask at nh preview next week if anyone there is on here….mo [however, I like the anonymity because I enjoy picturing people in my head, bit like listening to the radio rather than watching the telly]…

    Hmmm I don’t know if I want to give away my legend – after all MI5 (oops) and Harry Pearce would be none too pleased and I might end up in a deep fat fryer. :shock:
    When I sell my first book I will let you know so you can buy it (one copy for every single person you know) and if there’s any drama production managers on here…. I am ALL yours. :lol:

    In the world of racing I’m a nobody, but in real life I’m pretty famous, in my own circle.

    Any matellurgists, or manufacturing engineers will have seen me a few times, if they are into super plastic forming of titanium.

    I’ve now been likened to Jimmy Nail and Sid the Sexist – these are bloody Geordies for crying out loud :lol:

    I AM NOT A GEORDIE

    Believe me, even though Stockton on Tees is only 30 miles south of Newcastle, we speak nothing like Geordies and we hate being likened to them :x

    But I will forgive you this time :lol:
