Many a great day spent at Salisbury Racecourse DD, most certainly a sport to enjoy with a flutter.

The British monarch has quite the royal stable of winning thoroughbreds don't you know.

My father is friends with Dessie's trainer David Elsworth, I've met him a few times now, nice bloke.

We've spent many an hour watching the lads and lasses with the horses up on the gallops at Whitsbury, I even have a photo of me as a young lad stood with Dessie.

You have a nice evening.

Please, desist from your repeated disparaging and thinly disguised insults to members on here. If you take exception to the views of others it would be the gentlemanly thing either to address them personally by PM or refrain from calling their contributions to an informative and progressive thread a load of BS.

We all know what that stands for and that in itself is purely avoidance of the censor filter so is a rule breaker. You would also know as you type it it is likely to be offensive and more likely to arouse a similar response. Again, a rule breaker.

Instead you have met with polite ignorance or well mannered return. Your rule-breaking is intentional. Do yourself a favour - adopt a more conciliatory mood or do the other thing!

Cool

We are constantly monitoring this thread. Should the insults and name calling start to get really personal, then it will get closed. Just keep to the topic and play nicely.

It is interesting that you take offence from a general statement that is far milder than those we often see on the forum. This is your right of course.

But, telling another poster what he should do is beyond the reasonable. Particularly, as you often appear to be supporting those who go on personal attacks when others have a different viewpoint to theirs. That again is your right, but does not win you my respect.

I have a great deal of respect for the majority of members and this shows in in my exchanges with the majority. But, respect can be lost, and a few have achieved this. This is a natural dynamic on a forum such as this, do you not think?

Perhaps you could resolve a point of intrigue for me please Wraymond. Did you assume that my post the subject of your comment was aimed at yourself?

If so, why did you assume that?

The state visit all seemed to go quite well, well planned and all went like clockwork. Donald conducted himself impeccably, seemed to be much laughter with the Queen, Charles and May. I see many of the Body language experts are jumping on the bandwagon giving their views on what they thought was going on, quite funny really, but that's media for you.

Not sure it was a good idea JC boycotted the state banquet, Trump has him all summed up it seems, and I see Farage and Boris gets the thumbs up.

TBH, who doesn't want a trade deal with the US after the UK leaves the European Union? and its pretty much safe to say the NHS isn't on the table.

All you Trump haters you're a thing of the past...

If you ever visit Normandy the American Cemetery at Coleville is a must do visit. Immaculately maintained and a very moving place to pay your respects. The British ones at Bayeux and Ranville also worth a visit. The German one at La Cambe is much more sombre but it is nonetheless is a place of rest for many who died whatever side they were on.

This just popped up on my Facebook. Trump is clueless. I am wondering if his advisers are too or has he simply forgotten what he was told.
