Hatch has obviously answered the 1st question, nb I have always assumed stands for next best (bet) though I stand to be corrected on that. The origins of NAP and nb are both pretty obscure it seems to me so I decided a long time ago and in the absence of anything definite to go on NAP meant Not A Problem ! Again if anyone knows for sure please let me know though in terms of this subject: NAP = your best bet nb = your next best bet For the final question I could answer but not politely so I decline to comment.

Nice one Stevo, glad that was cleared up:D

Yep, as per Tip Exchange, My Name is Frank duly noted but it's not really a race I'd want to get involved with at all so I'll let the result say it all other than you are clearly working on the theory every horse has it's day though Frank has had 2 days already in 35 races Very best of luck ! Chris

Thanks for your valuable input, nothing to add to TDD's comment above.

That was precisely my thought though hacking on FB is rife, the whole site is now an utter shambles and moderation non existent. Good luck, at the very worst it was just silly and no more and I agree few can truly say they have never done something they regret surely ?

You're not a Gerrard fan then !

Well I am back with some thoughts, glad to see finally we have had some rain here ! Anyway fairly random ideas/thought: 1) The challenge to be held on a monthly basis and for the sake of keeping it easier to follow a new challenge/thread each month. Overall winner at end of the year. 2) Clearly free for anyone to join and simply posting your first tip(s) means you are automatically in. 3) All bets to be win or ew singles only and settled at SP, I'm definitely sure from experience we really don't want to allow forecasts, accas etc; A bit of a chore to settle. 4) In order to be eligible to win you must post a minimum of say 5 tips in any month. 5) Everyone to be allowed a NAP And NB best each day, not compulsory to have both but NAP to say count 2/3 points, NB 1. Clearly NAP has to be win only , 0.5 ew for NB if applicable. I'm happy to volunteer to settle the bets though clearly if I'm away then anyone can do it, the ongoing "table" is clearly going to be posted on here though suggestions for a user friendly format etc; are particularly welcome. That's me done for now and in KISS mode too purely for Frankie's benefit Chris
-
Yep, and I just saw not one but two brightly lit pigs flying by !! Chris ( my thoughts as to the actual rules to be posted later but as Frankie is clearly taking part I now have to adopt the KISS principle !)
-
It was definitely one of the best games and very good for what was essentially a glorified friendly.I'm really struggling to think of many good games though in spite of the result England v Germany was a good game, Germany v Argentina as well which tends to suggest Germany were the most enjoyable team to watch. Can't really believe I just said that !

He would be the first on my team sheet even though it's a bit insulting to muppets !!

Yep, that is all well and good Ponty but when someone is clearly posting racist/offensive comments and allowed to get away with it what happens then ? Even one of the moderators is so fed up with the abuse chucked around on here he is thinking of leaving the forum for good, never mind just resigning as a moderator. What a sorry state of affairs.

The Official Summer Transfers and HCDAJFU Thread
chrisobee replied to supersonic's topic in The Saints
The San Carlo Honda team maybe Ah I know why it rings a bell with me, Colin Edwards. The Texas Tornado ! -
Of course you are using it in that sense Chris aka the person who really wishes now he hadn't put this stupid idea into Frankie's head in the 1st place
-
Nothing to do with problems with smileys then !? Everyone: please note King Frankie is now using the Royal WE Chris

Not sure what game you were watching to be honest, not the one that appeared on my TV screen it seems. I defy any referee to have stood a chance in that game, simply impossible and the people to blame are clearly the players, primarily the Dutch but Spain weren't blameless. Only real piece of sportsmanship which seems largely to have gone unmentioned was Robin Van Persie playing a corner to the Spanish goalkeeper after the Dutch returned the ball somewhat waywardly but Casillas made a mess of trying to collect it. Could actually have ended up in the net, what on earth would have happened then ? So credit to Van Persie for that but very few other Dutch players set any kind of example, it really was a shameful exhibition and in my opinion FIFA should for once do the right thing and speak out against the Dutch behaviour rather than say nothing or come out at some point and at the very least acknowledge Webb was in a hopeless position. It really could have ended in a real farce with the Dutch maybe down to 7 players, the amazing things are firstly they didn't and secondly that the game didn't really explode.

Placed at 11/2 anyway so small profit ! Requisite is one of my 4 selections in an ew yankee on the main tipping thread, Senorita also placed @ 4/1. Really would like my main bet, Drifting Gold, to win at Windsor in an hour or so. Into 11/2 from the 10's I got at 9am so I could even bail out and lay it back, I might just do that
-
Drifting Gold into 6/1 on BF, keep shortening please
-
Good luck with Red Yarn, possibly the trickiest race on the card !
-
Chris can think of lots of rules but whoever started this wretched thread seems to be conspicuous by their absence, talk about passing the buck:rolleyes:
-
Ok, but just to be 100% clear we haven't started yet:D
-
Thanks for joining but I'm assuming you realise this is still a long way from actually starting !!

This is as far as we have got yet, still waiting for input rather than questions TBH:rolleyes:
