going 4-2 down in a first to 5 match for promotion in the local pool league



winning the 2 doubles matches to force the sudden death captains pick playoff



playing in said playoff and winning 

As an england fan:



But would say this was the better free kick

So many things come to mind.  I like:

Ronnie in full flow
Sachin at his prime
Warne and that ball (or Bishoo)
Taylor demolishing opponents and getting obscene averages

Peoples thoughts on:

Torvil and Dean?
Pele? Messi?
Jessica Ennis?

So many things you could talk about!

It was with Hills in the "to not finish market"  its been settled as a winner.   So fingers crossed it gets through, I snap withdrew lol.  

Yeah you're fine, Hills use the formation lap as the start of the race, so the fact he managed to get round a couple corners was all that was needed!

Hilla have reversed result, and also re-settled a bet I had a few days ago were they paid out wrong so my account now has a negative balance, this seems pretty poor to me. 

That is pretty poor

c. The start of any Grand Prix is defined as the signal to start the formation lap. The podium presentation will count as the result and any subsequent enquiries will not affect the settlement of bets.

That was taken off the hills site, so no idea why they wouldn't settle as a winner.  One for IBAS maybe?

I backed Nasr not to finish do I get the win even though he didnt start? 

Depends on what the actual bet was.  If it was something along the lines of "first driver to retire" then it would be a NR as he didn't start.

Only cars who are lined up on the grid when the lights go out to signal the start of the race will be deemed to be starters, and eligible to be a "First Driver to Retire" - cars who fail to complete the warm-up lap, or whom do not reach the starting grid will be made void.

That's from Skybet.

If the bet was to not be classified, then you would still win as Nasr would not of been classified by the FIA.

That's my understanding of it anyway!

Massive sigh...There was a promotion on by KIA, "catch a 6 and we'll give you £1000!".

Muggins here has a hurty finger and now a story that will haunt me for the rest of my life.  I literally had £1000 in my hands for a split second =(

I'm going to Surrey v Middlesex T20 tonight at the oval.  Unfortunately one of the guys i'm going with was taken into hospital yesterday and its looking like he wont be released in time today to be able to go.  As a result I have 1 ticket spare if any one would like to come along, ticket is £19, its in the OCS block lower tier.

Tim Minchin

I look at him and just have an urge to punch him in the face, despite never seeing any of his comedy stuff.  For all I know he could be a very good comedian however, I will never know because I wouldn't be able to sit through a routine without walking out and looking for something better to do!

Highly irrational.

Bloke's a genius

Like I said, will never know.  Just want to punch him so hard every time I see him and I don't know why!

still can't believe that no one (Tal) hasn't posted something along the lines of this yet



also, congrats on the engagement!

Yea col3 for 100, the rest of it just gives you something that's achievable at working towards col3

You'd do another "test" to see what col you would go into.

I assume the reason its split is because it gives people achievable goals to work towards.  If you were someone with no strength and had to start in col 3 then you would get pretty annoyed very quickly that you couldn't complete it and maybe quit.  If you started in col1 and kept going through the weeks and at the end of it you have to go back to week 5 in col2, you'd be less likely to quit as you can see the progress you have made and you will only be pushing yourself a further without killing yourself.

Just in case you didn't manage the hundred, I would suggest going back a couple of weeks in the program and building up your strength again. Maybe Week 5 or Week 6 would be good for you and help regain your confidence? Don't give up though, you're closer than you think!

Thats from the website.  I read that as, if you've followed what you have said above (1 person from col1, 1 from col 3), then the person from col1 probably wont be able to perform 100 pushups and will have to repeat a week or 2 and the person from col3 is more likely to be able to perform the 100.

Fancied a few but prices are gone for TFT purposes.

The big bet still has a couple of engagements and no prices up, but once on, will stick it on here.

On Wednesday I do quite like the chances of Amazing Maria in the Duke of Cambridge. Its the outsider, but trained by O Meara, and I can't believe he would run it in this unless he thought she had a massive chance. He has had the two runs to get to know her, booked James Doyle, and with a few of the others looking a tad over hyped, i like the 33-1.

Sadly I was very keen on Abseil in the Hunt Cup, and now a NR, so done a rather large wedge there though(for balance!).

wiiiiiiiii thank you adz =)
