    I just thought I'd let you all know there is due to be a horse running at Newcastle on Thursday in the 12.40 - The Clearly Drinks Novice Chase.

    I really can't see how it can get beat. Dan Skelton is sending the horse up here. He learnt his trade from the master himself Paul Nicholls. Dan has a cracking record and his horses are in fine form. He doesn't send many up here but has a 40% strike rate when he does (2 winners from 5 runners).

    The horse has long been touted as a chaser but was good enough to run second at Sandown in a Grade 2 over hurdles.

    For extra measure of luck he is listed as lucky number 7 at present.

    The horse also won his maiden NHF at Newcastle so has course form. Beating Beer Goggles by a massive 17 lengths.

    All sounds great doesn't it? Well all that bollocks is not the reason I am putting it up. Indeed I think he will have his hands full with Malcolm Jeffersons horse Waiting Patiently if he does run.

    However can we really not place a bet on this horse? The reasons for backing it:

    1. Its always right.
    2. The race can be caught via a sky dish on At The Races channel 415.
    3. Its only called Captain Chaos <laugh>

    Surely you mean £606 ACS, Chaos told me. He likened it to that legend of horse racing that never gets beat...Dusty Rug.

    My skybet and PP accounts only give me visibility of the next two days racing... is this right?

    What odds are we talking?

    Pouchy said it's at 12:40 so I'm guessing 20/1

    Hard to say odds he may pull it at 48hr declaration - I was just looking at what was coming this week and noticed it. Gotta be a sign.

    Your board is a belter mind Comm. A thread starts about our board which in itself is hugely ironic. I love nothing better than a daft **** who gives it the old peacock feathers by going back to their own board to brag about their wumming and how bad the board is - the one they are devoting a whole thread to <laugh>

    It gets better still though because its not quite enough. It would not be your board if it did not end with a change of MODs being discussed, a fall out and a good smattering of hissy fits. It got down to arguing about whether someone was online until 9pm or 9.16pm.

    When Billy thinks its a headfuck of a thread then you know you're ****ed.

    Its the daft ones that keep me entertained. For instance I read the what is going on thread and Tel saying to shut the place down after Lewis (Mr Prolific) decided to leave. Little things like that remind me of the old days, I was howling.

    So basically there have been meltdowns, spamming, pops at mods and people 'leaving'. It's a normal weekday for those guys.

    Ah for ****s sake I've just wasted two minutes of my life reading that bollocks. Why feel the need to comment on these things if they are so ****? When I think something in my life is utterly **** I remove it. Yet he just keeps coming back like a boomerang. I love that this personal beef just rolls on and on with you though. Its the same obsession he has with ACS. He loves to describe this place as ACS's empire. Everyone knows its mine and Chaos's.

    You must have really ****ed his head up. Why is he still spouting on about on about Mags and GC? I haven't seen a mag or GC member on there much bar Haslam and QWOP. Most of the arguments are in-house. Unless you count Cardew - who never ever posts on Newcastle Not606 so you'd have to suspect is probably not a mag. He's just like Fredor really - you just deal with it and move on or ban him.

    Our board is champion thanks, its quieter but we are quite happy to have a bit crack about Newcastle and whatever topics take our fancy. And play daft mafia games with the Swansea and Liverpool fans (plus a few others).

    Your board seems one of the busier. Not as busy as it used to be but if you have used the BBC606 and Not606 forums long enough you understand that is the nature of them. Our board was absolutely monstrous at one stage. Then GC and Speedgate happened but allegedly they were all planning an exit anyway. I think Skalpel had been working on it for a while and quite a few were aware of the plan to move.

    I don't understand this sense that people like Smug seem to think they know how a board should be, and what is wrong with a board. Internet forums and boards are what they are. People use them in different ways and for different things.

    What if it wasn't smug behind the thread but Gordon himself....using smug as a cover for venting his own dislike of comm?

    Whatever, Gordon doesn't exactly come out of it as comm's buddy.....he either wrote it or isn't too fussed about delivering it.

    Is Gordon on your Christmas card list, Comm? <cracker>
