I was only joking anyway, chief
There isn’t nearly enough on this thread about my favourite subject which would, of course, be, err, me.

And why not? You are a forums/fora legend. A lot on here who think they are longstanding forumites haven’t got a clue about the Flutter boards or know that you were a Racing Post journo. They might also be stumped to name two betting exchanges, never mind three. Shame that Big Green never took off.
Would be good to see other oldtimers starting to post again. I’m sure that gamble is very tempted at the moment, if he isn’t brown bread. Would even be good to see mad Ricky, though no worries if he is brown bread.

Good stuff, Ian, Happy New Year to you and your family.
Noticed that gamble is logged in as well – so all looking promising for 2021
I do though as a contrarian and consummate lurker have unstoppably prying eyes. Ian’s shoestring green revolution was well conceived and intentioned -possibly a little too safe ‘n’lacking a certain ZING and splash of colour but was crying out for investment. It was nonetheless a great achievment in my book. I have no racing CV like him but know the rat runs backwards.

I chucked a few quid into the green pot, but it needed many, many more people to give it the required liquidity – A very brave effort from Ian though imo.
Hope you’re as well as can be expected, gamble, and have had a good NYE. I’m just back from a great street party- had the whole street to myself! Just me and my two litre bottle of White Lightning
Take care
That’s an interesting take on a street party – I like it !
I am pretty good Tank thanks, apart from being mentally scarred @ Xmas – just finishing off a bottle of Champagne but picked out the wrong bottle from the cabinet and by 12 it was fraction not cold enough. I am a YOOF at heart and just don’t know with clarity what I should be doing tomorrow or the next day. Always have a plan though of sorts. Am watching a bit of Glastonbury at the moment. Only chance of me attending would be with a wire cutter. I never knew much about the comic Tommy Ball – was out of the country when he was at his peak I think. He succumbed to Covid but I caught a bit of Rock on Tommy yesterday which I found infectious – He had a natural talent and sorry I missed him. He was a welder initially and grafted his way through clubs. Rock on Tommy !
Had roast beef and Yorkshire pudding on Xmas day – Turkey breast ( cold ) and bubble and squeak on Boxing day. Just forgot to buy a ham which was strange and I rather missed it. Treated myself to a bottle of Vodka over Xmas and drank it in four sittings with ice out of whisky tumblers. Good wine is a staple .I try to do something diferent every year but I just love sprouts. Krone tonight, chicken in between and Champagne to see in. Put on a kilo over the holiday – highly interesting don’t you think ?
Tony Hancock…” I don’t need to drink.
Doctor…” It’s a kink “
Ian thought pension pot when he might have thought life on Mars. I cant teach him nothing though – I am a watcher and on a bad day consider myself pig ignorant.
It’s been a stressful year – a lot of people have let me down but I’m not going to Ba Ba about it. I have enjoyed the quietness of lockdowns and journeying back to the 50’s and a decade with heart and far better the the boom boom forties.
Going to think about hitting the sack. I have not mentioned horses – time for the sheep.
Well thankee mightily Nathan- I do indeed feel young today and I am still only on my second cup. Sorry about your mate Bill – I don’t think he really took to me as I may have rubbed him slightly up the wrong way when he came over to this neck of the woods. I tend to do that but with Bill I was a bit in awe of him and this did not diminish when he rebuked me – as its standard stuff on forums – Which makes me think Manboy I have never really taken you to the cleaners or cleared your gutters out – Not never
Superb…
I did a bit of swimbo for old billy boy today
Bullion boss 10/1 winner
I’ve plenty of gutters to clean but am thinking of playing it safe which I have done since the start but the rates of infections and death is very high which makes me think it better to sit tight in the warm.Charles Darwin to conquer the World
Well executed on that bet and Good for you – the sensible Tank option – STAY SAFE unless you are Michael Palin when you might ride up the side of a big mountain on a Yak and a promise. Having said that he gets paid to take risks.
I am actually on liver tonight – some chips as a New Years day luxury and some green beans to add colour and not forgetting onions and a touch of gravy.
