It's a reasonable suggestion regarding the 'shortened' name ARF!. Are you certain he won't knock him off his horse as well?
George said to Fred, 'I put £20 on a horse last week and he came in at twenty five to one.', 'Wow! you must be loaded', said Fred. 'Not really' said George, 'the rest of the field came in at twelve thirty.
Quite seriously, threads being derailed with this rubbish is getting tiresome, particularly as there is quite genuinely a chance of a takeover happening. Coming into this thread and wading through endless puns about cows yesterday and now horses is pretty **** when I'm looking for any developments. People can say there haven't been any, but how am I to know until after I scroll through the thread. Have a puns thread or something similar if everyone's that desperate to make plays on words.
That's my point. I come on and see three new pages on this thread, I assume something's happened, instead I scroll through pages of off-topic immature jokes.
Fair enough, but as a surfer of boards I can tell you it's pretty standard and is good as light relief from the tension that builds up
I agree, jokes and light humour are fine, but when it's page after page it gets a bit grating. Sometimes news can get buried because someone makes a post and it gets buried in the page. Anyway, I've said my piece, not much I can do about it but just thought I'd mention it.
