Gosh, I had no idea your husband was so famous (not being a horse racing fan). I've just googled....

Re: Face Book- What am I missing?
Would englishangel's husband by any chance be the bet365 racing tipster known as "The Oracle"? If so, my partner could do with some advice - only one winner today ...Jo wrote:Gosh, I had no idea your husband was so famous (not being a horse racing fan). I've just googled....

Yes he would be the Oracle. On At the Races rahter than Bet 365 (plagiarists)
However I wouldn't follow any of his tips myself.

Didn't know that was what your husband does/is - we lived in Louisville, Kentucky for ten years - you guys could have come to us for the Derby every year!!

He was CFO at Philadelphia Park Racetrack for 4 years, and has kept up his interest in North American racing. Took daughter to Kentucky for the Breeders cup 3 years ago.
Last night was at the London Racing Club National Hunt preview and recognised a voice and it was a Canadian who he had met in Louisville in '05.

Re: Face Book- What am I missing?
I may be maligning Facebook, but I just saw a report, on "Today" --- (you will understand, why I am fascinated ! 
)
about a "Cyber" Wife, who is divorcing her "Cyber" Husband, for having a "Cyber " Affaire, with a "Cyber" Prostitute !
The ACTUAL couple are, happily married, but from their photograph --- shown, for all the World to see -------- I can see why they would want "Cyber" Relationships !
Now I'm being bitchy --- but did anyone else see this ?

Oh, but NEILL... 
One might have this complicated situation in various Internet places - don't blame Facebook!
I don't believe any of us HOGOFS are having cyber affairs with cyber prostitutes - girls?

Meeeeoooow, and they say women are bitchy.
I think that was Second Life, about 18 months ago, though there may be an update.

Re: Face Book- What am I missing?
Perhaps I am thinking of a different news article, but wasn't there a case recently where someone divorced their real spouse because of an affair with a virtual lover? I forget which way round it was genderwise! [thinks! I wonder if I could put my husband on E-bay? going cheap, sixpennorth of Kenneth! Or even Freecycle! I shall now wait for Maria to leap to her father's defence!]

Re: Face Book- What am I missing?
The Daily Telegraph today tells me that six IT experts in Lahore have set up a Muslim Facebook.
Whilst not wishing in any way to show disrespect of Islam, it occurs to me - what will the female Facebookers do?
