By:
I don't care how many entries anyone has, as long as I get some points and keep myself from the walk of shame

Afternoon, Leopard
 .I think we might be mucking up the placepot thread. Pumpy will not be pleased. |
|
By:
MD you can chat away all you like it really makes no difference, I wont be doing updates during racing, it's too time consuming & I tend to neglect the racing somewhat, so just the final standings after racing.

By:
That will do fine, Pumpy
 |
|
By:
That was Spelling.
|
|
By:
Ok then.
That will do fine, Spelling |

So what's happened to pumpy then you seem to know everything
|
|
By:
Leopard is being very mischievous.

|
By:
Most probably, spelling has had 20 accounts closed I have been here for ten years with no bans, you would have to be incredibly stupid to think I would let him loose with my account
