  1. The site is hosted on Amazon servers using Drupal. Have no idea who their web developer is but why they have chosen Drupal is beyond me. Seems they have really spent large (sarcasm font) and are using this site to develop their website. https://platform.sh/ Suspect they have gone with a small developer who really doesn't know what they are doing.
  2. So if you didn't really need help and you were brave enough to ignore all the warnings this is where you end up. If you didn't need help when you started you probably do now as you are freaking out that you've been hacked!!
  3. It gets worse even though it probably is just a security certificate issue.
  4. Unbelievable. The most important link and not even checked.
  5. That'll be too subtle for some Ranga! LOL
  6. I'm not really up with conventional social media but isn't the hashtag thing a Twitter thing? But they don't have a Twitter account!
  7. FFS @Gospel of Judas @Mikie told every one who he was. Michael O'Brien - the kingpin of the Bluegrass Pokie operation. One of your hometown comrades.
  8. Did I just hear Bruce Sharrock, the new Chief Operating Officer NZTR, on Newstalk ZB representing his Sports Agency? Is he moonlighting at NZTR? Or is running his own business a synergistic complement to his role? He isn't a Jockey Agent as well is he?
  9. I watch the current price. NASDAQ and Bloomberg both saying $79. $84 is the 5yr high.
  10. Can't be that hopeless if a developing company can return a profit in the middle of a pandemic.
  11. @JAKH Brent Crude hits $79 - $80 by the end of the week? @Brodie still on the money.
  12. They're all online now......
  13. I thought that was the Red Zone?
  14. Was this guy driving?
  15. I stopped being an avid reader of CNN going into the last Presidential election when I started fact checking a lot of their stories. Did more during Covid-19 and found them to be very wanting. That aside I cruise their website from time to time and find the odd good article. This is one of them: https://edition.cnn.com/2021/09/26/politics/alzheimers-drug-aduhelm-fda-approval/index.html 22% of the FDA approvals are contrary to what their advisory panels advise!
  16. I don't disagree however it ranks a bit when you don't see them addressing the underlying causes of many of the issues. Agreed. Some us have been calling for some action in this area for some time. I'm sure it may have prevented some of the collateral damage we have seen in the last year. The industry may not have lost a large number of young talented participants.
  17. Hell I wouldn't make them public!!! I know what you lot can do to a dividend! Although publishing them might give them a better chance because sure as hell @Michael aka @Mikie would try and out do @Brodie and thus improve the chances of the Brodster's picks!!!
  18. It was on here at the Dicken's Inn but at $13 a glass the Stoke Pilsner at $20 a case is much better. Woops I'm doing what @Karrotsisback does to me and hijacking her Topic. The woman in the floral dress reminds me of one of the most memorable Cup Day's. I can't for the life of me remember who won the Cup that year as I was drinking champagne with a very attractive lady and we missed it!!!!
  19. A pallet of Stoke Pilsner and Brodie's tips for the next grass track meeting.
  20. Is this you @Karrotsisback?
  21. A bit slow out of the barrier Michael - took you 23 mins to respond. Bromance's - troubling things aren't they.
  22. Covid 19 Delta outbreak: Pandemic may rein in Canterbury Cup and show week with plan to shut public out for first time in 117 years 27 Sep, 2021 02:42 PM4 minutes to read For the first time in 117 years the public may be shut out of Canterbury's annual Cup and Show Week. Photo / Supplied By: Anna Leask Anna Leask is a senior reporter for the New Zealand Herald anna.leask@nzherald.co.nz@AnnaLeask Covid-19 restrictions may mean Canterbury horse racing's biggest week of the year could be closed to most punters for the first time in 117 years. While organisers have confirmed today racing will go ahead - it cannot promise the public will be allowed to attend. Addington Raceway CEO Brian Thompson said this afternoon that Addington Cup Week would be going ahead but the public would be shut out entirely unless the region was moved down to level 1 restrictions. At alert level 2, events can go ahead but with restrictions. Events and event facilities — for example, stadiums, cinemas and casinos can have a maximum of 100 people in any indoor or outdoor defined space. Addington Cup Week 2021 kicks off with the IRT New Zealand Trotting Cup Day on Tuesday November 9. The Show Day Races are scheduled for Friday November 12. Tickets were scheduled to go on sale this week but have been put on hold due to Covid-19 restrictions. Thompson said the decision to hold off was due to a lack of certainty that the venue will be able to be open to the public. "The races will still go ahead, but if the country is still under mass gathering restrictions it will not be possible to hold Cup Week as a publicly accessible event," he said.
