Keep battling Stephaniebot, are you a man or a woman btw? You are never too old to learn something new, I have had several changes of career, I'm 64 now and have been selling solar panels and battery storage for the last 8 years along with other things. Always go for commission only work, and/or a decent network marketing company. In all but one sense nowadays, a woman. Even passport says female (10 years since starting transition), and has done for 4 years. But yes, I've put off a rather major operation until after retirement, but that might be happening sooner now, assuming they will still do it post seizures. Given I also have back, knee, wrist, and shoulder damage, I'm quite happy to take the medical retirement if offered after MRI, and other similar stuff |

Oh for the good old days!!! PP King, Aceform, Happy Hibby and many more who added a variety of opinions....never dull always entertaining.
Punting was never fun ......too serious but some characters did add a light side to it. |

My forum date is the 27 Dec 2000 - same as Deepdale Dreamer
But is that not just the date of selecting a Forum Name when first wanting to post? I have what I think is a vivid memory of backing Papillon on here for the Grand National and that would have been April 2000. Am i confusing here with Flutter or am I right in thinking I joined much earlier, then joined the forum many months later? I do remember when BF sent a card for a Telephone Betting & Premium Brockerage Service - my personal number for that was sub one hundred i.e. Just 2 digits, maybe 079. |

Just realised my Papillon claim is possibly the oldest after-time!
 But would be interested to know if Forum Name date is def the same as Joining Date. |

been on forum since few weeks after coming over (reluctantly at the time!!!) from flutter - good to see rollo tomassi on this thread, used to be a regular poster but not seen for ages, if national is your last meeting, put your bank on tiger roll and go out in a blaze of glory.....or despair

Thanks Punchestown - pretty sure I only joined the forum (after being a silent lurker) to find out what was going on after an outage. Would guess it was 3pm on a Saturday!

30th January 2003 and still on here every day....time to get a life maybe?
Nahhh! Too late now! |

The date shown on the 'live view' is definitely the day I joined betfair.
It definitely isn't the date I first posted on the forum which was some two or threee years later. |

Sorry - that should say 'on the 'standard view''

October 2003, still about but not as active. There used to be some real belly laugh banter and pi ss taking in the early days.
Sadly there are some real sensitive killjoys about now. |

I remember I joined up because I was eager to lay a horse that always got made the favourite, and always dogged it, called Lazim Afooz. Somebody told me in my local bookmakers "There's a website you can lay that on" and the rest is history.

Joined betfair after reading the adverts placed above the Sandown urinals and placed my first bet on laying there being snow on Christmas day. Have been with the forum since around 2005 apart from a couple of 'enforced' time outs .
