skoozi 38 Report post Posted March 24, 2018 I certainly enjoy the comps, pitting your best guess against others, the element of fun is starting to get lost in translation with comments. Thank you sponsors and keep up the good work for all involved ! Belinda, Brown Fox and sir1galivant 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will retract my comp and you put up the money yourself smartass.Nothing for me to gain giving away my hard earned I wasn't referring to you Gruff but to an earlier poster. Strangely some are willing to financially aid that promotion. Each to their own of course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a certain person would get fatally exposed in one of PJs competitions. It was not what was meant the last time i removed things from here was a tipping service and people leaving tips... just so the story is straight.

pete 492 Report post Posted March 24, 2018 It just occurred to me why I enjoy the comps on the other category so much. It's competitive It's fun It's civilised It's not polluted by self serving pillocks who are only on here to satisfy their narcissism.

Agreed but there is no need to classify the comps on the other category as boring. That's what has pissed a few people off.

You don't strike me as an altruistic sort, I honestly don't get where you are coming from. If you don't like the competitions currently running on the main thread forget about it. Have any of us gone on the Tips and Competition thread and told you that it's boring crap? No. We simply stay away and don't get involved. That's what I suggest you do Pete. scooby3051 and napier 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he may well have done, but I see the comps currently being run on the main thread at the T20's or Day/Nighters as in Cricket and your lot as the Test Matches. Each to their own I say. I have put up my money so that others can have some instant fun, as have others. If we saw it your way, all of us would be over there in a flash, but we don't. The simple little comp that I put up last Saturday got 69 entries. Have any of Yours? I rest my case and that of Trump, Yir Tiz, Scooby and Poundforpound and all those that enter of their own free will. talk 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 492 Report post Posted March 24, 2018 2 minutes ago, poundforpound said: Me, not altruistic !!! at HQ we give on average $600 a week to our two favourite charities. What I give away on the side, for example I sponsored a race for $7500 at the last Ellerslie meeting, plus the comps here, is just giving something back because I love racing. i took 23 guests to Burning Lamb two weeks ago, cost $8000 I’m taking 16 to Ed Sheeran tomorrow, private box, cost $7000 I might have many faults but suggesting I’m not altruistic or kind is way out of line. No you're absolutely right Leo.i apologise profusely. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
