Hey Martin,

Yes I *eventually* arrived. Nice to talk to people, whom actually speak my type of sport. None of this NFL, NBA, NHL and NASCAR.

Some good rugby union, rugby league and soccer talk, more of my cup of tea.

~Alicia~
 
yep.
Get on over to Other Sports and general chit chat for some general chit chat and post about the new flat season if you can hehe and erm let us know if Fasnet Rock will win at Royal Ascot :) and Stagecraft is over here too with Luca Cumani i think :)

Other trivia: Full time insurance claims assessor for an underwriting agency. My latest craze is shooting a gun (yes beyond weird).
 
Er, right... I think we'll be very, very nice to you if you visit the UK, Grand Armee. :o However, Songsheet on here hosts game shoots from time to time, so if you've got shotgun skills, you could join her in popping off the occasional peasant. Or even pheasant.
 
Welcome to you both, Amanda & Alicia - great to have a few more of the fairer sex on board - some of these guys need keeping in check over here!
 
Hello, I am new here, .

I enjoy horse racing but to be quite honest I have never beaten one :huh:

Seriously, my name is Mark, I am from Wolverhampton, I have been interested in racing for well over forty years.

My favourite races??? the ones that you win from of course LOL,
I would probably plum for The Eclipse and Glorious Goodwood.

Some of you may know me from another racing forum, others may not,

Other interests??? well, we keep parrots, we have five in total.
I enjoy athletics, I used to enjoy football but not so much these days.

I am married, we have three sons, two in their twenties, the youngest being nineteen.

Hoping to participate in the future on this forum.

All the very best,
Mark.
 
Hi Mark - good to have you on board over here. How are the birds? Mine is going through another temperamental stage at the minute - she can't get enough water on her at the moment either - jumps straight into her water bowl every day to bath & seems to want me to stand next to her cage all day long spraing her with water!! :confused:
 
Welcome aboard Mark

I assume you mean bet on one :o

I used to be an athlete in the good old days.

Loved the mile event my best time was 4min 33 secs on grass.

I should have been gelded after that :o

Welcome again and look forward to you posting.
 
Hi to everyone new :)
Sorry if some of you had to wait to get your memberships approved but I've been busy - all up to date now. Just approved a couple of names I recognise from other forums too :)

Hi Powerscourt
My comment about never having beaten a horse was a joke (perhaps a rather bad one :shy: ) it is similar to me saying I race pigeons but I have never beaten one, means the very same. I like horse racing but have never beaten one :D

My favourite miler of all time was Seb Coe, shame he went into politics :rolleyes:

Shadow Leader - glad to see you here. Yep our birds are suffering spring fever too, and can't wait for sprays so often jump in the washing up bowl :o not to mention one of our birds spends most of her day trying to attack our new addition of a kitten!

Look forward to chatting with you all

Mark
 
Not sure if this is the right place to post, but I have been trying to upload mine own avatar but for some reason it won't let me. I have tried to upload a pic 64 x 64 from my pc but it won't allow it. Would appreciate any advice - thanks.

Mark
 
Any friend of Shadow's is a friend of ours... can't help you on the avatar, Mark, since I'm so technocrap someone else put mine up for me. There are folks on here who change theirs more often than they change their socks, though, and I'm sure someone will help.

PDJ will be ecstatic to have another midlander on board. He takes some serious stick about living in Brum, so a Wolves companion will be much appreciated! Looking forward to your posts.
