Title: Bad bad news for Rooney
Post by: TightEnd on April 13, 2006, 10:55:41 PM
I saw in the newspapers today, and therefore it must be true, the following

"England's footballers are going to be restricted to a £200 per hand cap in their World cup card school"

Shrek owes £700,000 to the Boy Wonder's bookie

To pinch a line from elsewhere

"How the hell does he get out of it now"?

blimey, he's going to have to work another couple of weeks to pay that off eh :D

I was listening to some chat about this on the radio the other day (5Live) and apparently, debts with bookmakers aren't legally binding - they cannot legally make you pay and it's all on a 'gentlemens agreement'.  This is law is currently being reviewed they said.

Shall we all set up accounts then?

That works both ways, they don't have to honour bets either.

You'll generally find that if you owe a bookie £700,000 he's not thinking about legal avenues to recover his debt.

He's just going to send large men round.

I went to court once to see a mate called Ernie Smith tried, it went like this

Judge: Mr Smith did you steal the 250 kilos of lead

Ernie: Yes your honour

Judge: And what did you do with it?

Ernie: I melted it down and made it into toy soldiers your honour

Judge: How many toy soldiers did you make?

Ernie: 10,000 your honour

Judge: And what did you do with 10,000 lead soldiers?

Ernie: I marched them to the scrapyard your honour

Judge: six months, take him down!
