Oh dear, I've just done a quick count-up. It's rather a lot. Here, TRF, Jumping For Fun and Neigh for racing (in descending order of how often at present). Plus one forum for lovers of indiepop. Plus one forum for the BBC Micro. Plus one forum about Tiswas. Neigh aside, I'm on each at...

Felix has bought Dead Or Alive out of the Tim Vaughan yard for Pointing this winter, and with his military background I'm sure a visit or two to Sandown will be factored in between his jaunts between the flags. When not riding in Points, Felix commentates in them. He's the caller of choice at...

Yeah, let's do that, Martin - probably not great etiquette of me to hijack a lost / retired thread with Pointing stuff to this extent (((blushes))). gc

Well, you might as well start with one of the best in your Area! It's a subjective opinion, of course, but to my thinking Godstone is one of the two best Pointing courses in the South East administrative Area, along with Charing in Kent. It's in a surprisingly quiet, beautiful parkland location...

Have to admit, with the heaviest of heavy hearts, that the old place is stretching even my appreciable patience nowadays too, Grassy. And given what a lot I owe it, I don't say that lightly. gc

I'm always amused to see him raise his head above the parapet for a runner or two every few months (most recently, it seems, training horses for Ian Ratcliffe** despite the latter still holding a permit himself), and then promptly disappear again. Sporadically active nowadays, for sure. Per...

I'm entirely happy to reproduce my postings from that thread on Talking Horses as well, should Krizon or anyone else here be interested. Maybe Irish Stamp, the other major contributor to Look Who's Pointing, might like to do the same. Krizon - if you haven't visited said thread on TRF since...

Happy winterval, all, from me and the peerless Stewart Lee: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUOGrtj2iRU gc

Depends how they're framed, Swedish. Most of what there are tend to be "junior" bumpers for 3yos only over sub-2m trips, but the Ffos Las race was essentially the equivalent of the more common 4-6yo race just brought this side of the New Year. As such, it's looks a bit of a novelty to see a...

Ooh, this thread is still archived and alive and ting. Lots of gigs from the last few weeks to add to it, too - if only I could remember them all! It's me age, luv... Saw Lloyd Cole in Hebden Bridge a few weeks ago. Very, very fine, hilariously self-deprecating and proper value with two...

I had an attack of the giggles at a tombola party last night. RAFL. gc

I got thrown out of France for jumping onto Quasimodo's back and shouting, "Alas, poor Yorrick!" In my defence, I was only acting on a hunch. gc

Rexel 800 for breakfast. Rexel 800 for lunch. Rexel 800 for dinner. It's my staple diet gc

A full sample copy is available to view at http://www.racingahead.net/issue72qmzy.pdf . It dates back to October 2010 but the magazine has changed little in style and content since then. Subscription details are also contained on the Racing Ahead site. HTH, gc

...Just so long as I don't mention the F-word to you, I guess? I quite like the artificial surface stuff nowadays, but in admitting that I already feel like I've failed you. :lol: Apropos of all-weather antics, how could I not nominate The Tatling as a Highlight of 2011? Badly drawn, rarely...

Aw, that's very kind, Colin, and hope things are going better with you and yours than when I contacted you last. I still have it in the back of my mind that I owe you a lift to the next Welsh Point-to-Point I get to, yes? Or at least to Ffos Las once again. :cool: gc

Bless you, Aragorn! I'd realised with horror the other the day that it was getting on for three years since I did anything much on here - that needed rectifying. More so now than ever. Four weekends into the new Pointing season, five Points already visited, another 40 pencilled in before...

Others closer to both this case and due process as a whole will know better than me on this one, but would the tariff have been as high as three years on account of a previous record that's been anything other than unblemished? Some of you will remember her tainting (would nobbling be too...

Villain of the year: Howard Johnson. Many acts in racing over the last 12 months, be they related to tariffs, whip rulings, etc., have merely been misguided or racing-illiterate. Johnson's, however, were manifestly wicked, and that's a whole other world of unforgiveable as far as I'm...

A friend of mine suggested a good one for The Onion the other night; "Twitter crashes under own weight of solipsism". gc
