Maybe we need to patent the BP astrological system. Can't lose surely ?

Blinkers on, down in grade - but only when the planets align? Now I see why it's been failing.

Only when Uranus is out of alignment

Mooning?.

Quite possibly. Mr T thinks The Sun shines out of his **** so perhaps a combination of Moon, Sun and Uranus in conjunction with a retrograde BP. 

[Shad]

That's what the lepper said to the prostitute, keep the tip.

[barryb]

Since we were on Mooning and Uranus I thought I would look up Asteroids, below is from the urban dictionary.

Asteroids

A condition when the Fecal Impaction of the Colon is so solid and an has become an immobile bulk mass of human feces that develops one's rectum as it has a resulted in a solid mass of constipation in one's ass, such that, it feels as if it is, “Chocked Full O' Nuts” which will not pass under normal circumstances and may have to be dug out with one's fingers or similar tools. i.e., "to shit a brick!"

This was meant to be a serious tipping thread, hahaha, amazing how 2 f--kwits can deteriorate something.

You seem to be claiming things as 'truth', but I've not seen even what this supposed world record is or what the other things you talk about are. I guess we just believe you and leave it at that. Doesn't fill me with confidence.

July 4, 2012 it were deemed that Matamata trainer Wayne P Hillis would win on Melbourne Cup day 2017--provided he lined up.

History was made...... 5 years 4 months and 3 days in advance !

Whatever Don.

That's your self declared world record. I predict I'll make a profit on the Melbourne Cup in 2025. Will that count?

Yes, a circus,  totally agree, as have several other threads.

If it is not addressed, it risks much of the good work that has been done by many in getting the site established, being undone

if your profit is publicly recorded with a $9.80 return for every $1 invested, consideration will be given....

It'll be better than. But anyhow, how come you are the one who makes the rules on what you claim to be a world record? To even claim such a thing, loses any possible credibility.

I'm with pete.

You and Thomass make a great pair. Start your own thread about your stuff.

Clearly an issue Hesi. The easiest way to sort it is for those of us who are serious (or semi serious in my case) to just ignore the two trolls.

Easier said than done ?

That is exactly the issue, and people don't have time to be monitoring every post made by T, whereas 99% of other posts and posters are never an issue.

For once Molloy was right in saying that any site that allows PD and T to post will not be successful.

That may or may not be the case Hesi.  You are also being selective, as if you recall, you, me and many other decent folk were/are not allowed to post according to the two retired jockey's standards.  

Sometimes there is a price to pay for free speech.

[hesi]

We do have this situation though, where every thread that T becomes involved on, descends into an off topic circus, and it is not good for the site and it's credibility 

I don't know how you fix that, without working overtime(and why should you) or compromising your standard on free speech.

There is the aspect that it can be construed as trolling, and not sure where that stands in the bigger picture of free speech

[Chief Stipe]

It takes more than one poster to drag a thread down into a circus.  There are more people guilty of that than just Thomaas.

[hesi]

Yes, and perhaps they should think about that, but there is almost always the same one common denominator

Agree in principle but why should everyone be obliged to just ignore the constant crap.

If you're not careful you will find it will just drive a lot of people away.

Thomas really doesn't worry me but that Starman bloke just gets on my tits (moobs?)

I also agree in principle. I think the free speech question is interesting. Probably doesn't preclude trolling and inflammatory remarks or others responding in kind. However there is the question of it intimidating others from speaking freely and engaging with a  topic.

The issue for me is derailing threads with completely off topic remarks. I think BOAY could consider some kind of rule, not preventing the remarks even if they are insulting or rubbish, but insisting that they must remain on topic or be removed, either altogether or to another thread.

I appreciate the irony that I'm writing this post in a thread titled "Holiday Period Best Bets".

Couldn't agree more with you Chief, and if you PM me I'll supply the list of the worst offenders.

Has anybody heard from T Arse in the past hour?????

Any report of a deflated plastic princess nearby?
