    43 and counting individuals, Ive seen lots of other people continuously bring up the issue asking for separate threads so dont put all blame on me.

    thats a quarter.. But theres more than a quarter in favour of the new thread at the moment.

    It's a fifth. You are not looking at the total. There are 4 times more no votes than yes.

    If 100 people voted and 20 voted yes, and 80 no.........it'd be a fifth. Same difference.

    There seems little point to posting here now.....my tip is cross posted. A single thread may not be perfect, and not to everyone's liking........ but what ever is? It's really not such a hardship to skip over posts.

    Indelacio, you're having a laugh aren't you :confused:

    I've come to the conclusion that you are now only posting to get your post count up.

    Some of your posts are not helping yourself. If you even had a look at the poll results it would show that the 'Yes' vote have 18.8% that is just less than 20% which is a fifth as Tigerlily rightly said.

    I had tiny bit of sympathy for you, before now, but I think you are just arguing for argument's sake. I think it's time you gave up and admitted defeat.

    41 is a quarter of 164 so rather than be nice to a quarter of piggy users you'd rather be stubborn. (not counting who cares people).

    Hardly a runaway majority.

    Actually 75% to 18% (as the figures are at the moment) IS a pretty sizeable majority.

    Your view is that it's acceptable to be "nasty" (your word) to 75% of piggy racecaller users - how is that better than the other way around? From what you've said and the way you have tried to twist the figures to suit your own ends (you appear from your posts prior to this argument to be a reasonably intelligent individual so I don't buy the idea that you genuinely think your calculations above are correct) it just seems that there are only two ways in your world - Indelacio's way or no way! Sometimes in this world we need to compromise and accept that others may not always agree with our own point of view.

    Here we are at Ascot again for the should there be seperate threads for pigsback and racecaller? Stakes over 6f

    As we near the 3f post I see that the don't care horse has just left the stalls and seems to be on a gentle walk up the course. The crowd seem to have fallen asleep with the lack of excitment over the last furlong. Wait something is happening!! The No vote jockey has dismounted and is waiting for the Yes vote to catch up so it will not be a one horse race.

    I don't believe it hes sitting down and having a picnic. Not the sort of thing that you see at Ascot!!

    So John what is happening in the betting ring.

    We have lots of Rock Cakes for the Yes and one punter has placed a Monkey at Odds on Pony for the No vote to fall at the first fence!!!! The Don't Care vote has only had one bet and that was 50p!!! which was taken by Barrie Dennis at Cockle and Net.

    Female what do you have on the Exchanges. Well John we have had a lot of action for the No vote and It looks like only one person is Laying it. He stands to lose around half a million if the No wins but will make about a Monkey if it loses. Lots of money is coming in for the Stewards enquiry and Betfair are taking bets direct from the RaceCaller site. Oh and the Booby says that your dinner is in the Dog!!!! Its now over to Simon Holt.

    Thank you Tanya. Their has been some movement by the Yes vote and its starting to make a run down the centre of the track, but its still 125 lengths behind. Folks don't change channel it looks like their could be some movement in the next 5 days!!!!:D
