pete Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Unimpressed to say the least. I paid for 3 months on Tuesday because no shop where I live seems to stock it. Come Friday post and no Raceform. I ring the 0800 number and the nice young lady says, yes it's at your local courier depot awaiting delivery. This was 10am today. As of now no courier no Raceform and I'm officially pissed off. I'll be canceling on Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigos1 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Yep understand your angst. I live in a rural delivery area and couldn't guarantee be here by Friday........hence wouldn't get till Monday......no Saturday delivery. On the plus side for me generally available Sth Dunedin TAB by Thursday lunchtime. Must say it is a good read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether it would have made any difference to my picking ability in PJs comp is highly debatable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete has a date 3. Liz is going to join TRP and give us all form updates....that would be nice By the way Mardy, congratulations on becoming a Dad. We have a new one in our household(not mine), and she is a joy to behold, even though Mum and Dad look very very tired 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The outcome was a very pleasant call with Liz. Have to admit I always had a bit of a crush on her when she was on TV. She had a look at raceplace but didn't volunteer anything further on that score. Aside from my crush bias I was really impressed that she took the time to contact me personally. And I love the publication too! Hesi would have you believe I'm a grumpy old man but not in this case.

Don't be fooled Mardy, the cute baby/infant becomes a bastard when they turn 13 and gradually gets worse until 18 when they become a complete bastard and vote Green or worse Labour. (joking for your benefit Hesi, even I wouldnt tolerate that) Thanks for that Barry. I'm prepared for that too happen,as karma..because i was a prick as a teenager so i have no doubts that it will come back to bite me lol.

Maximus Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Fear not, good people. For the silent majority will be out in force on 17 October. Having watched 3 years of incompetent administration of everything from housing to pandemic response; having led the world in virtue-signalling and political correctness, while failing to turn the tide of child poverty and failing to announce the billions for 'transformational change' until Election Year campaigning; having raised the cost to employers of compliance, annual leave, sick leave, wages, and added a national holiday (instead of removing an existing one); LABOUR will not make it back into Government. Neither will NZ FIRST. The polls and the pollsters should be ignored. They got the UK election wrong; the USA election wrong; the OZ election wrong. The NATS would have waltzed in if they had done the sensible thing and ditched Bridges in the summer of 2019. Collins is by no means my first choice as leader. But she's competent and cool under pressure - is she Muldoon reincarnate? (Put a wig on Rob the Goblin's head and you've got ... Judith! She even smirks like he did!) Interesting times ahead. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesi Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Back to racing, or we will end up like the crackpots on RC and BOAY Avondale accoutrements, there is a horse racing today, brilliantly named, out of probably the best horse in recent times not to win a race. $20 to win on whoever can name it I see also a horse out of a NZ Cup winner racing as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
