There was initially a small clique of hard core horse racing aficionados on here...me, Kilburn Al, 2020, johnjensenshootingboots.

JJSB was the first to depart the group so it was mainly me, Kilburn and 2020.

We would meet up at Cheltenham quite a lot and even took fellow Awimbers up with us....hanging out with Twickers and Luis Anaconda up there was pretty awesome.

Anyways back then it was pretty hard for newbies to make a name on the board.

You more or less had to take your lumps (in a keyboard warrior sort of way) until you were accepted into the group.

Step forth Brighton Gunner who decided rather than earn the respect of others he would just target one of the top dogs on here and hopefully he would earn the acclaim and respect of others.

For 2 years the guy berated and targeted my posts.

Always looking to insult and ridicule.

Me...being the gentleman that I am just took it. Anyone whose met me on here will testify to how much of a gent I am.

Anways back in April of 2011 I saw a horse win a race out in France....POUR MOI and when I heard he was coming over for the Epsom Derby I got exicited...he looked all over the winner at me and I helped myself to as much of the 20/1 as I could get.

I backed him all the way down to 10/1.

I was absolutely certain he was 100% the real deal.

I've done this sort of thing before and failed....People with longer memories on here will remember the infamous Curtain Call gamble I started on here.

Curtain Call was 100/1 for the Derby 6 months before the race...I tipped him up on here and it caught wild fire...I could not believe that less than two weeks before the Derby he was the 7/2 favourite!! needless to say he didn't win.

But with Pour Moi I was absolutely certain.

Brighton Gunner on the other hand called me all sorts of names and ridiculed me and my selection. berating me with vile insults particularly through private messages.

he had it in for me.

I saw an opportunity when he told another AWIMBER to ignore me and back Native Khan for the race so I struck a bet with him....

POUR MOI vs Native Khan....with the horse finishing in the higher position being declared the winner and the loser would have to cough up £500.

TIME FOR THE GAY KEYBOARD WARRIOR Threats to stop and lets put some money down.

Roll on the Derby and Pour Moi flew from LAST to FIRST with one of the most epic sweeping runs down the outside to win right on the line!!! it was epic beyond believe. especially as the jockey was celebrating well before the finishing line...brave man...it was so close.

Afterwards BrightonGunner REFUSED to pay me the £500.

He basically dodged the issue and stopped replying to me publically on the board.

I challenged on the issue by Private Message and he said he couldn't pay the £500 so wanted to know if I would accept £25.

WHAT THE ****???? are you being serious.

all that talk and you don't have the money???

so I took to AWIMB and spent every opportunity ridiculing and berating him like he did me...mainly rubbing Pour Moi's win and his refusal to honour the bet in his face at every opportunity.

It was most enjoyable and pleasurable to destroy him.

needless to say there were a few people who weren't happy with this side of me so defriended me on facebook and we've never talked since.

but I didn't care one bit...loved every moment of it....

anyways that's the story....fancy not paying up £500...what a clown.

I recall this in great detail, we had 100s of posts that lead you to a Pour Moi punchline.

Anyway, I have met both of you in real life and thought you were both nice. I work in quite a similar field to Brighton and he seemed relatively switched on and up to speed there as well.
