1.01 tom has had his wrist slapped

There's just too much knowledge and experience in horseracing on this site..that's his problem!

damn, we never took odds on Tom lasting only one week.

Sometimes the truth can make you flee...

:D:D....not according to Oom Jan, who crearly runs the show, poor Tom, I really hope they don't stint his enthusiasm as I think he was on to something that could have worked.....:

To be fair, I think that we have posed many questions and made many points. Give the man a few days to get info etc and then come back.

And again, here is someone who is trying to engage with us and trying to improve things. Let's support him.

goose, to be fair he typed so much on day 1 that i understand him being MIA. Look at God he worked for 7 days non stop and has been resting since.

he did say too that '...you guys crack me up'. Perhaps he cracked? I hope we haven't pushed him over the cliff.:S

Keniza..there is no way that trainers can slash training fees, without the vets , feed companies, grooms etc all dropping their prices/rates . Highly unlikely I would say...

He is fine just rather busy at the moment, he did send me mail and it's rather scary if you read it, all the best Tom, we are hoping for your safe return to the forum.

Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills
and put your helmet on

Ground Control to Major Tom
Commencing countdown,
engines on
Check ignition
and may God's love be with you

[spoken]
Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One, Liftoff

This is Ground Control
to Major Tom
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule
if you dare

This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating
in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today

For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do

Though I'm past
one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much
she knows

Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead,
there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you....

Here am I floating
round my tin can
Far above the Moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do.

He maybe can`t post from work? TBA joined the RA and Phumelela and banning this website? ()
