He was an appalling old right winger
Bless him
He was wholly misguided about a number of things such as the brilliance of Rooster Booster , and the ghastliness of Margaret Thatcher ( don't mention his blow up doll of her ) though he was a resolute and loyal champion of Best Mate .
I miss him no end on here.

...which cost him quite dearly, I understand.
Sadly, it cost others dearly too.

:lol:
Right, that's enough from Phil. Whenever we give you the benefit of the doubt, Waters, you'll always disappoint such an accommodation - that's one nailed-on certainty on this forum.
I've deleted Phil's posts and the responses (since they make no sense otherwise) and I'm closing the topic.
Phil, I think you've had your fair measure of the attention you're clearly desperate for. Now perhaps you could sod off somewhere else for a while and actually contribute something?

Dormant account
I've opened this up again rather than start a new thread. The reason is to show something that I found when I was sorting out my document files. When you sponsor a race you are allowed a page in the racecard for a sponsor's advertisement. When we sponsored the race in Alan's memory I wrote this for the racecard. Those who were asking about him may find it of some interest while it might bring back a few memories to those who spent time on this forum with him.
ALAN JAMES THOMAS MORGAN M.B.E.
1950 – 2004
Alan loved his racing and Lingfield was one of his favourite courses. He regaled his friends with stories – some of them repeatable - of the fun he had had there in the past. It was at Lingfield that he first met the latest love of his life, Andrew Reid’s mare Pants, and when she got up in the last stride to win here last November the normally tee-total Alan had a glass of something fizzy to celebrate.
Most of Alan’s friends who have got together to remember him by sponsoring his race today never actually met him in the flesh. Alan was a keen contributor to racing forums on the Internet and was a founder member of the Talking Horses forum. He arranged racing related competitions between Talking Horses and the Final Furlong forum and was coach, manager and cheerleader for the Talking Horses team. (As he kept the scores too it probably didn’t do his team any harm!)
It was only after Alan’s far too early death that we began to hear how he had helped so many of the friends whom he had met only over the airwaves with advice on domestic or health difficulties, with practical solutions to very real problems and, what he was best at, cheering people up when they were down in the dumps.
Alan was a regular telephone caller to “Your View” on the Attheraces TV channel and was once invited in to be a studio guest for the day and to go head-to-head in a tipping competition with pundit and Racing Post journalist Matt Doyle. There was certainly no false modesty when Alan won – whatever the subject matter of his subsequent telephone calls the result of his contest with “The Pharaoh” would get a mention.
Alan would have been the first to admit that he was no saint. In his early years he got into the scrapes that were almost compulsory for a young east-ender. Many of his pals from those days ended up as “guests of her majesty” but when Alan was invited to be her guest in 1994 it was at Buckingham Palace where he was awarded the MBE for his work in the protection of children.
We are delighted today to have Alan’s widow Karen and his daughters Cassandra, Maxine and Melody as our guests and, as Alan sits on a cloud somewhere cheering on Best Mate and, of course, Pants, we say “Goodbye mate, you’ll be remembered with a smile”.
