    I was wondering whether the horses were any good so I've checked on the Racing Post site and there are no racehorses registered in either of their names.......nor in the name of the Forest Edge Arena.

    Why would you be doing that? The horses aren't racehorses, they're part of a private stable/arena. And to be honest, you checking them out like that is borderline creepy.

    Probably more than you think, but with a nice name like yours francie, I'll take it back,
    Je suis desolée.

    Oi! Aren't you supposed to be an actual Frenchman?
    Then surely you should be désolé?

    Anyway, as for the two people in the OP, if it suits them - and it must - good luck to them.

    What I never quite get in these threads is why people look down on either party.
    I reckon that if I was a multimillionaire, I'd be laughing my cashmere and unicorn tail socks off that there were anonymous people who had to work for a living or who were unemployed who went on the internet to say they felt sorry for me and/or looked down on me or my other half, as we went on our merry way with our multi-millionaire lifestyle.

    don't be daft........

    I follow racing every day and usually have the Racing Post site open as I am a subscriber to it..........what's creepy about trying to see which horses they are and if they are any good ?

    Jealous, holier than though DS Forum Members get their knickers in a twist and look down their judgemental noses at a lucky sod enjoying his lottery winnings.

    Pretty much.....plus you can't say 'fat millionaire ex wife buys new husband' because that would be seen as 'sexist' or 'misogynist'. ;-)

    Personally I'd rather get by on my charm, good looks, charisma and oh yes, lest I forget- modesty, as opposed to my bank balance, but fair play to him I say.

    As cynical as I am with these kind of things, who knows, perhaps she sees more in him that just his wallet, and either way, if it works for both of them then who am I to judge.

    Jealous etc ? Just because people come out with comments that you don't agree with doesn't automatically mean jealous posters.

    Good luck to the pair of em .... Although if I won that sort of money no fricking way would anyone know about it till i knew they were interested in me for me

    I'd make up a fictitious background (average job average flat average car ) of she stick around is know she was a keeper

    Same here mate. Even then she'd only get to know about a tiny fraction of it.

    Plead poverty :D

    I saw this, and as I speak a bit of the language, I thought that it was misspelt too, so I asked a French girl who works in a restaurant near my place.
    She said that the word can be spelled desolée, désolé, or désole.
    Spelled desolée, it is normally being written by a female, spelled desolé, by a male.
    Some people use an acute accent over the first e, as in é, some don't, she said that she thinks, but was unsure, that it depended on their local accent.
    If it is spelt désolé, it would be said as daysolay, or dayzholay, if it was spelt desolé it would be pronounced as dezzolay, or dessolay.
    Using one e or two at the end of the word, people would know what was meant, and wouldn't care if it was coming from a male, or female.
    It is no worse than writing there are TO many, instead of TOO many she said.
    You would know what was meant.
    Incidentally, I'm sure that J-F has said that he was born in France, with a Polish mother and French father, but has been in the UK since he was a toddler.
    Maybe he doesn't get much opportunity to use his French now.
