GW Mein- Retired now living at 8 Hame Lane Kaiapoi subject to it still being standing after September 4

[uneasy 497]

G W Mein lives at 8 HAMEL LANE, Kaiapoi. Former top rider son Michael (as an apprentice, zzz will remember, had the nickname possum) called in looking for cup week tickets. another son Paul has a share in Jack Attack trained by the Stokes at Waikouku.

G W has retired from the chook business and does enjoy bowls.

I think I saw a G W Mein nameplate taken from the old Riccarton semaphore board in the museum part of the Canterbury-West Coast Owners' Association room on the second floor of the Riccarton public stand, when I was there on Cup Day last month.

Good idea to be posting peoples exact addresses on a site where there are so many creepy stalkers?

Editor's note;

point taken and such detail wasn't required. I was more interested in his health, welfare, and hobbies.

That said I doubt there are actually any stalkers here, well maybe cyber stalkers but not literally of that persuasion.

Best we don't put your address up huh? someone might send a job around!!!

Former west coaster, may have even trained for a while with the sheriff, Ian Grant.

Do you mean 'Grunter' got the Sheriff into the 'ring' as a punchbag?

[Fartoomuch 1,376]

If you drop the L off the end of the street you get given " your incorrect"

[Fartoomuch 1,376]

there is no winner though until someone names the Mr/Mrs X I'm searching for

If i was forunate enough to find Mr/MrsX- i would be the first to get you to donate it to charity or any other worthy cause of your choice.

This comp wouldn't be a sly way of tracking down Morty after doing a runner and not paying up in full for the training of the 'big poofter' would it?

No need to,as I am here.

[Midget 4,489]

No I know where the Midget is, well normally I do but the bloody grass is a bit high at the moment.

Midget the big poofter is going swimming tomorrow then popping over a few logs down at Seanys joint, bring your skull cap and some spare panty liners huh?

Wednesday,is my day off and i may make Thursday as well,just in case you want to do him 2 days in a row.At least you got around in a Hurdle Race,I had 8 goes and only got over the first Twice,from memory i have got over 6 fences in total,so a bad jumper and a bad rider is not in anyone's intrest.You are the man as several persons have told me that you have to be half mad to be any good at that game.

the way the sherrif words things he wins anyway , talk about ambivilent contracts , read it again word for word and tell me this is not satan`s himself version of fair go, zzz zzzzz ,midget morton, (head of the of the zzzzz/midget foundation, care of micheal knight at best pizza joint in town)cowboys viaduct (not predjudiced, try it!!)

conspiracy or just fantastic bar and pizza, try for yourself!

I cannot win, the comp runs from missing person to missing person until someone types in the name of he/she that I seek (and Bruce has the name via email already).

The key is we cannot move on until I am happy that we've exhausted the search for the last person nominated, or located him/her, and then we go again.

How many interesting people are there out there?, people from years gone by who've faded away, I can think of hundreds and I'd like to know where they are now and if they're in good health.

Now back to Grunter, surely someone knows where he is or was...

iread your post to state that in the end there would only be one person sought and if the cafe viewers provided the right info then they would be the only be the single winner of the comp given your requirements that the winner is only decided when ur undisclosed yet transperent whisper is undisclosed as it has unfolded and yet the winner will be the original person who has nominated the person of interest? which is zzz is it not? is the sheriff playin with us like den murrie again? i am a capricorn ...help!!

HiBoss

I haven't got time for games but if you want to track down Ian Grant I suggest someone goes and doornock former trainer Ray Pankhurst. He lives in Clyde but it seems he doesn't have a landline. His wife Margaret is the mother of the jockey, whose name escapes me, who was Grant's partner/widwe when he went to Aus. They've probably split up by now but that may be your best lead. Otherwise if the grey matter is still working, I have a feeling IRG was the youngest in a family of 10, not the brightest plugs in the engine, but good enough to win a 10,000 golden kiwi in the early sixties. Some of those fanau should be about somewhere.

Cheers

[rumpole 483]

former Levin trainer..where is he ????

Rumpole is speaking out of turn!

Was training in Victoria for a while but i believe he has retired.

The best day i ever had on the punt was all down to Bill's horse "Rocky Way/Star" A thing of K Grays " Hazy Days" ran 2nd and i took the F for 3rd as well as backing Rocky to win at 12's. Must have been late 80's when tri's had just come in

Haven't been on for a few days, but see where your looking for Ian Grant.

Last time I saw him must have been 15 odd years ago.

I helped him out in his Dairy at Mermaid Beach on the Gold Coast.

Was living in Nerang with his wife Vivienne.

I doubt they would be together now..He was a bit of a wanderer.

Last I heard..P.B.Smith was working for him,and one night when it was quiet,him and his mate decided to scratch the scratchies to get a quick quid..Didnt buy them..Just scratched them..

Anyway poor blokes didn't scratch the big one and then realized they would be in the Pooh as they couldnt reimburse the money.

So Phillip and his mate, lock the shop, take the Float (till money) to the Casino.

Didnt go any better there.

I heard Grunter was mighty pissed off when he turned up in the morning and couldnt open because the float was gone.

I would say he would be back in Mornington area.

Cheers RT.

[von Smallhaussen 3,226]

Thanks RTH, we are now getting somewhere, and as this is a family show - we can assume that the good looking bird from the Racecourse Hotel was Margarets daughter and her name was Vivienne.

Hey zzz/Midget, do either of you know Tony Robb? I remember well the good old days at Riccarton! One NZ cup meeting in particular when Kartika won the cup. I'd love to tell a tale of A Robb's escapades as I stayed in the same room at a 'billet'.....another fella in there with us was an 'Angus' I think he was a Southlander too. Won't talk out of school suffice to say A Robb was a top bloke! but he broke the rules and threw out the book this night!....shame Tony shame.

[Pabulum 0]

Thanks...thought you would.

What about 'Shorty' Hare....used to ride a well and after strapping Kiwi went to ride in India...last time I saw him he was sitting across the table chowing down in Ascot Vale. Now he could tell a tale as well.
