This forum seems to be a very lonely place. I wonder what kind of things I can post about to maybe be allowed back into the VIP areas?
I am trying to improve my Spanish, I wonder if I could try to post in Spanish in case there are any Spanish speakers here. Probably too risky as there may be some rule against it, and I might lose points further postponing the chance of an upgrade.
What about the Magicians drinks then, is anyone here going? I enjoy those type of meets but for some reason I seem to get very drunk. I think people think I am a heavier drinker than I am, because I don't drink so excessivley normally. Maybe I am sort of playing to my image. Yes I think that's it, I often post on the Betfair forum when I am drunk, so I subconsciously associate the names I know from there with drink. He is a good bloke the Magician.
Actually its strange that a lot of people come across quite arrogant on that forum, but when you meet them they are not at all like that. Frog for instance is a very mild mannered polite type in reality. I wonder if people think I am arrogant.
Probably not, they probably think I am a bit mad. Talking to myself on here can do that perception no harm. Anyway I don't suppose anyone reads what it is written here, there is no-one around, apart from the software that reads the posts and scores them. It can't be so sophisticated that it will penalise me for soliloquising (just looked that up, my spelling is pretty good and most of my spelling errors on these sites are mistakes, but that is a pretty hard word to spell).
Anyway that has passed a few minutes and now the Betfair forum is back up.
If anyone reads this good luck with your betting and whatever else you do.
If you read it before Christmas 2006 have a good Christmas, if not have a good next Christmas or whichever Christmas is next at the time you read it.

I'm learning it because I am involved with a conservation charity in Colombia see www.proaves.org, and because I have a friend who there. I don't know Spain very well and can't understand them very well because of the accent! I have a friend who has a holiday home in Spain and got good broadband straight away, but it can be very slow to get installed I believe.

proaves (for the birds ?? dodgy latin spanish translation) looks very worthwhile and gets my approval

Always fancied going to Colombia, good cycling.

I can't imagine anything more bizarre than putting drunken faces to names of some of the more wordy posters on BF. Magician, Frog, morris

As ever, I won't be going, only this year I have the excellent excuse of being several thousand miles away.

ps you see, some people will read this.
