Walk up to the counter, take a betting slip put your bet on it and slide it across the counter along with the money and then pray.

I hate those betting adverts: that one with a coach driver and a bus load of football fans, one of them being comically overweight and consequentially waddling along in a silly manner, and that other one where that blond bimbo goes, ''get ya mobile out''. I just want to behead her after that line: ''get ya mobile out''.

If you look at British adverts now they are either selling gambling, insurance or loans, i.e. all money related. They are either trying to get you into debt, insured (against catastrophe) and to top it all off Michael Parkinson will give you a free Parker pen just for inquiring about insurance for ''when you're gone''. It is depressing. When I was growing up adverts sold breakfast cereal, chocolate and beer.

He used to bat for Barnsley in the same team as Dickie Bird.

There's a famous quote of his old man sayin his career was alright but not as great as batting for whatever cricket team it was he said.

I decided to try this out of curiosity; http://uk.isidewith.com

Basically the results were, it said I should vote Green. The next 4 matches that came closest to my political views were of course for parties that don't run here. It also suggested I have less in common with Torrie voters than any other political grouping and should move to some region in Scotland that's name I couldn't begin to pronounce filled with towns I've never heard of before in my life.

Oh fuckin hell, Tory, '63% Tory'. If I get caught en flagrante with a rent boy on Clapham Common, now you know why! 

Mind that is Tory mostly on foreign policy. I am quite the hippy on energy and green issues I have you know; even told my sister off the other day for fly-tipping.

How can you get more than 30% for the Tories? You unemphatic cunts! 

On the other hand since I got 83% Green, it was basically telling me I shouldn't vote since no party that I could vote for here actually got 50%.

What the fuck does Corbyn smoke?

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/apr/22/labour-plan-four-new-bank-holidays-for-each-uk-patron-saint

All he could come up with is bank holidays to celebrate Patron Saints :confused: :huh: :facepalm:

Somebody please save Labour from itself :no:

He's not even Catholic— in fact nobody in Britain is even Catholic. Please stop treading on our saints days, you can have St. Valentine and All Souls (Halloween), but us left footers need a reason to drink every day.

My point is that the UK is facing a new era. There is a lot of uncertanty. Brexit is a big gamble. It could go wonderfully right or horribly wrong. And the leader of the opposition comes up with bank holidays? WTF????
