    <laugh> Well alright. I hope we live to fight another day. Just one question, who the hell fixed those two venues on the final day, was it that rascal Ron?

    Wasn't Ron with the Hunt brigade? I can't be sure mate. But there's nothing wrong with blaming Ron, he's got broad shoulders, he can take it. :)

    Re 1.3.2010

    Ron: finding the Galaxy piece, and the subsequent discussion, is cyber-retrieval of the highest order - well done ! As I remember it, you had no hand in the alleged fix - the races were picked, the bets logged, and the scores calculated by the greatly admired and much-missed Eez. Does anyone remember the week when he went head to head with his cat in a naps competition, and lost ?)

    Nass: you may be underestimating Stick. Have you never seen the blue Checkpoint Stickie plaque on the Mauerstrasse ?

    Cyc/Ekbalco/Swanny: Ek's premonitions were right - there was something stirring in Mordor, even then. And now the Orc-army of NH followers, with their dung-spattered moleskin trousers held up with baling twine, and their soul-shrivelling mustard pullovers, have taken over the entire winter and the happy sunlit days of 2010 won't come again. (Note, for example, how civilised a time it was when even Arkle Supreme could put up a cheerful and constructive post).

    Sorry to bang on about this, but wasn't that Galaxy piece g r e a t ?

    <laugh> Jeeze, Rainer, I already said 'alright'. I've never owned a mustard pullover in my life, and I would have thought that the regulars of synthetic track flat racing would be much more likely to be seen in dung-spattered moleskin trousers, much more likely, in fact. This Cyc man is not to be trusted. He has always said how much he enjoyed NH marathon slogs and regularly provides tips for our digestion in this field. I always thought I was reasonably attired when I attended that fantastic little NH course, Plumpton! You can keep your sandpit tracks. Good night, sleep well.
