Hi, I joined here in 2003, but ended up mainly on Final Furlong (CPGagie).
I walked away from all the forum stuff a few years ago. Needed to sort my head out.
I wont be anywhere near as acive this time around, as have other stuff going on, but I still follow some of the racing and enjoy reading others opinions, so will throw the odd view into the hat myself.

Was sad to see and presume a few people no longer with us. Colin Phillips for one, who I worked with online a few years ago. Jack (Icebreaker aka Hoofhearted) too. I remember trying to talk him out of buying a thousand bitcoins at a quid each. I'm sure he forgives me. I knew they both had some health issues.
Never thought walking away from forum land would mean final goodbyes in some cases.

Anyway, it's nice to see some famililar names still around.
Looking forward to the odd race discussion etc.

Cheers
Chris
 
Hi Chris
Remember you well from FF - that seems a lifetime ago! Welcome to TH - its a pretty good place to be and we have some very good new landlords as very sadly forum owner Col (DVDs200?) too passed away as did Roger Hunter aka Diamond Geezer who you may remember from all the tipping competitions he ran? We now have a Ten to Follow (NH) with the trophy in their memory so please do join in next autumn.

That's very sad to read, Jinny.
I do remember both well, more so DG. As useless as I am with NH racing, I'll certainly get my pin out for the TTF.
It all does seem a long time ago.
Hope you're well, Jinny and life is good. Looking forward to some racing chat.

It has been long time, EC. Have you got your standards up to date? :)
Strange how it's all laid on now. The hours I spent sliding Quicktime pro taking sectionals and usually ending up non the wiser. :)
 
Welcome Chris.

If I'd listened more attentively to Icebreaker at the time, I could have been a multi billionaire now. Ether that or in a long protracted legal battle with my local council trying to get them to cordon off a waste dump with my bitcoin password buried at the bottom of it! I've not got many genuine regrets in life, but this counts as one of them, (the former that is) .
