I think his reaction is pathetic, I made a massive bet so you should fold - don't know why she can't say I put you on 8 high or some blahblah about yr always at it so i just felt like spite calling even though there's a good likelihood i'm behind. Or just say, I don't know what I'm doing, smile sweetly and rake it in.

This kind of stuff is why poker is so dull, can't actually believe I spent a deece portion of my life on this kind of shenanigans. Think I just liked wine and talking bollox to people who couldn't up and leave.

Just read further up and apparently you crunch, you don't know what you're missing. Had to buy Murray Mints in a garage the other day for a trip to York - £3.15, nearly cried and not a patch on Tesco mintoes

Those are a lovely sweet, do you suck it until the last thin sliver is flexible enough to craft into a tube with the mere use of tongue and lips ?

It's absolutely ridiculous. Who has bacon with fried onions?

Unfortunately my high cholesteral and furred up arteries means i can no longer have it.

Pan full of onions fried on a low heat for 3-4 hours
8 rashers crispy back bacon unsmoked
8 rounds bread and butter

= 4 lovely bacon and onion sandwiches


oh how i miss them

Ha that would be the most expensive sandwich ever these days. Sorry to hear about recent woes but glad to hear things perking up for you and the family

I've got a whole bunch of conifers along the side of my house in a neighbours garden. I had a bit of a subsidence issue and although the neighbour wouldn't take them down, we were able to cut them back pretty savagely on our side. Most survive with a decent greenery on his side. One or two are brown on his side too which I presume is a result of what we did

That's good intel. How long ago was this Glen?

Ooh, it was a while ago, 3-4 years

Tom, if you liked Breaking Bad, Ozark is worth a spin if you haven't seen it.

Yep, gave it a go but just couldn't get on with it.

Vive la difference

i'm not sure if I find Liverpool losing more enjoyable than United loosing but yesterday cemented that Liverpool losing is more fun for me

Because we're shit now, and are going to lose a fair amount of the time

Unfortunately, was away so couldn't actually see the game but the reports suggest United were pretty good - did manage to see very enjoyable highlights of Van Dijk doing some kind of Dexy's Midnight Runners dance while Sancho scored the easiest goal of his career so far

Be interested in the more expert opinions here.

Thought the commentators were calling it far too positively for Usyk but still surprised to see anyone score it as a win for AJ

I thought if was fine bar the being too pro AJ early on.

Adam Smith just cheerleads for the homefighter then changes his tune if people on twitter disagree with him.

Cheers, enjoyed the fight. Great class and resilience from Usyk but Joshua kept it tense and was an impressive effort I thought.

Why can't people who are in the spotlight just throw a bit of oil on the water when they make a balls up instead of trying to make it worse?

I saw this, and it was just something that was said live in a context where it could be understood that he was just referring to the refereeing of that particular game.   Had the duscussion with my teenage daughter who loves her sports, and she didn't see anything in it.

Not sure why he chose to double down, when he could have just said sorry and explained the above. 

FWIW The England team and the European championships were top notch.  Wish I'd got tickets now.

More camper info is good.  Did you ever think of doing conversions for business, or is it too late for that now?

I thought exactly this, it was really a commentary on the way last year everything was a foul and this year almost nothing is - our refs have got to be some of the worst ever.

Anyway, he could have easily just apologised and said that he was pleased refs have changed approach and he liked the new style of letting everything go as it more aligned with his style of kicking crap out of the oppo.

I think he meant that dragging an opponent to the ground by the hair is considered to be a foul in the women's game.

Haha, shirley not ? Was pretty astonishing the ref let that go when he's like 3 yards away and looking straight at it, not that you and I are biased in any way

Missed the boat for a "Gabriel" first-goal-scorer..

Unlucky there Ralph, luckily I had a saver on 2-0 and Martinelli first scorer so my new service is off to a flyer
