I agree a ton of fun. I’m sure someone would be keen to score if there was an incentive. Seems like a lot of work for very little in return.

I agree a ton of fun. Agree with that statement that Maria was the best and maybe we didn’t appreciate all the work done by her at the time. That is a shame.

I’m told by my usual reliable sources that Maria decided I shouldn’t be allowed to tell the truth when describing those poxy nillers, the low pricks they are, so she edited my post accordingly, and I withdrew my generous offer ... she’s no great loss As always I’m happy to put up a generous prize for a late summer ( Karaka Million up until Easter Monday ) “losers get laid” if someone will score it ... usual rules though, no nillers from over at the oxidation pond Leo I believe it was over CT but ...whats done is done Maria was bloody good at doing the comps...and I for one miss having her do them....but I do not miss CT.... Thanks for your offer lets see if we can get a scorer..cheers. Lets just move on...and have some fun. shaneMcAlister 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be a lone voice but CT was quite good at times , he labelled Mystic Journey very early when she hadn't left Tassie, I for one never look there ,the names Gee Gee this that and the other does my head in there . He also labelled Brutal early doors. But best imho was him absolutely cracking into the 1.10 shots . My all time favorite thread on here though, and I might have it slightly mixed up due to time elapsed was the one CT told about Sunline racing in the Israeli Oaks in the West Bank ridden by an Arabian Prince , something like that anyway . Is he banned or MIA ? Memphis2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he banned or MIA ? You dont know the half of it...he is very clever at being liberal with the truth... He was asked nicely to back up his story with facts and kept calling me a liar privately so he is still around but on thin ice.

That is a shame. So what makes the 'best in the business'? Twasn't a business anyway, twas enthusiasts volunteering their time, energy, skill and intelligence JUST TO GIVE SOME FUN TO ALL THE OTHERS. Many members on this site and other sites appreciate ALL the people who run comps - from Punters Clubs to Super Comps to Losers Getting Laid , short term and log term formats. Thanks to all of them. If you're having trouble getting Comps on this site at present, perhaps it's because previous organisers havent been shown enough respect.

Aaron Bidlake 759 Report post Posted January 24, 2020 Could it be an option in future comps to do what we all did at school when marking tests and just swap with the person next to you. Just make an order and you score the name next to yours... Memphis2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
slam dunk 1,317 Report post Posted January 25, 2020 When a person volunteers to score a comp they don't have the option of not associating with a thread they normally would stay clear. Therefore the volunteer must have the right to delete posts they find offensive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought when you were a young fella you liked 'scoring' Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
