    I generally like the content of these updates, but also find Hislop's tendency towards parenthesis very, very annoying.

    Firstly. as the instigator of the original thread and secondly because as a mod I have received complaints about the posts as well as one report, I have permanently removed the derogatory remarks concerning Lydia. I have also removed a couple of posts expressing concern regarding the offending posts as obviously they wouldn't make sense now the offending posts have gone.

    Perhaps you could give us some guidelines regarding what we can and cannot say.I am seriously annoyed that after nearly 20 years here that I can't make a mildly offensive remark without it being deleted.

    The most offensive thing on this thread is the use of the word parenthesis.

    "Monalee heads to the Irish Gold Cup, with de Bromhead reputedly needing to persuade his owners that the Ryanair is the most suitable Festival target,"

    **** me, what is it with this stable and going for the wrong race. If he ends up in the GC his owners need tarring.
