No way should it be banned.<br>I tend to edit just about everything I post, especially on my own board because it doesn’t show up. <br>Usually, as Money On correctly points out, because I know I’m almost certain  to upset some ferker if I go with my original (more truthful) first thoughts. :biggrin:

My point is, I don’t allow any tv presenters to wind me up so much that I feel the need to publicly slag them off every week, whereas I’ve seen people on different forums who seem to want to slag off Derek Thompson on a daily basis, and I just think they should get a life.<br>When I was driving in London for a living, I used to listen to Derek Thompson at Windsor on a Monday evening, and almost feel as if I was there at the track with him.<br>I thought he (and Charlie McCann for that matter) did a great job, but even if I thought he was crap, I wouldn’t have felt the need to inform everybody of that fact every hour of every day.<br>

There aren’t any racing presenters that give me the urge to publicly slag them off every week.<br>I found Declan Murphy (when he was on) and Willie Carson the most irritating, and John McCririck is the one person I can’t make my mind up about.<br>I think I like him, and I would miss him him if he buggered off, but then at other times he comes across as a right arrogant bar steward, and I don’t like that.<br>Unlike Mounty, I could watch Matt Chapman all day, he makes me laugh, and he gives you plenty of information. <br>Also, and it seems unlike just about everyone else on every forum in the country, I haven’t got a bad word to say about Derek Thompson, in fact he might even be my favourite out of the lot of them. I like Francome too and Zoey Bird, and I could like Dave Compton a bit more if he stopped slagging off the placepot. <br>That just leaves Dale McKeown, who I like, and who made me quite a few bob with his tips on the American racing, but listening to him for too long is like listening to the same song all day and every day for a week. :) <br>The rest are all pretty average as far as I’m concerned.
How about my all time favourite Jockey, the late Brian Taylor?
And George Duffield and Eddie Hide? :)
I don’t agree that Street Sense pulled himself up.<br>He beat Hard Spun by further than he did in the Kentucky Derby and it seems to me that the jockey is getting blamed for taking a very quick look over his shoulder as Curlin started to come back at him. Curlin didn’t seem to handle the track anywhere near as well as Street Sense and he took took a lot longer to hit his full stride, but once he did, he was catching Street Sense all the way.
Anyway, you can judge for yourselves. ;)

I’ve watched every one of Curlin’s races, and I’m a big fan. Street Sense went past Curlin as they came into the straight and went at least a length up probably more, but Curlin is one tough horse and you got the impression he really wanted it.
A fantastic race.
I started a thread about Curlin before the Kentucky Derby suggesting he was a superstar, and after the Kentucky Derby I was dissapointed, even though Curlin didn’t get the best of runs, but after tonights race I feel the comment was justified. :biggrin:

Just about every song Westlife have ever made.<br>I think they’ve done 1 song that wasn’t a cover.
After reading some of the answers above, with the exception of Aragorn, I’ve just lost the ferking will to live.
They were both top class horses, but I’m not sure if they were the bravest.<br>I think Crisp’s run in the 1973 grand national was brave.
Kenny, if your question is genuine you could feel a little hard done by, but most of us message board regulars have lost count of the number of times a new member signs up, and then with their first post asks if we have heard of such and such company.<br>I’ve had it a hundred times myself, a guy who seems new to most of the established internet forums always seems to know about a service the rest of us have never heard of.<br>If people seem suspicious, that’s the reason why.
You would have got similar treatment on any forum. :biggrin:
I like Matt Chapman too, and Derek Thompson, and If that puts me top of the list of saddo’s I couldn’t give a ferk.<br>I’ve got far more important things to worry about than who’s presenting the horse racing.<br>
I would like to say what I think of Ken Livingstone, but the swear censor might go into meltdown.:biggrin:
If you hate him one tenth as much as I do, the least you could do is sign this.
