The prem is back, happy days.

Should probably post in the tips section but pretty nailed on for a 3 to something win tonight for the Arse . Gonna finalise on 3-1 as Palace are known for getting a lucky rebound from a set piece as most of you know.

This is the first tip in my new facebook, how-to-win-a-substantial-side-income-from-betting-correct-scores-on-football-matches series so good luck us


Ha, I hope you are right Glenn.

I'm ridiculously excited to see the new season, & especially tonight's Palace - Arsenal game.

And if you like that sort of thing, Netflix debuted the new "All Or Nothing" last night, this year it follows Arsenal throughout last season. I binge-watched the first 3 Episodes last night & thoroughly enjoyed it.

Ha, just started episode 1, no doubt will watch the other 2 today as well. Love binging :-)

Just checking one of them with the url link taken out

The url was just directly the website - that's why that's all it did

It doesn't link to anything without that - is it visible?
(that's a check to see if your settings were blocking displaying it because it thought the link was dodgy)



Thanks John, will try next time there are some pics I want to see but can't. I see everyone else's photos so I quite like just cursing Tom for the way he posts them here

Must be a tech wizard here can help, can generally see all photos posted here except the ones Tom posts. I use chrome on my pc and some other browser on my phone.

For most photos Tom posts I see an empty square with a prompt to click for full size image, this, when clicked, redirects me to directupload.net but doesn't connect me to it.

Assume it must be something in my settings as others can see the pics.

Would appreciate a steer from anyone who has any ideas about the issue

Nice feeling to get those mentions, good write ups, thanks for taking the time

Hi Glenda.

I think if folks buy action, it's a 100% obligation to at the very least do a write up, & it makes me cross when they don't. I still buy a little action here & there, but only in people who give me updates or reports. To be fair, mine are pretty lame compared to Stu Rutter who dos THE most wonderful updates, but I assume he is not in Vegas this year.


I did enjoy the mentions, though I'm not quite sure why. I'm at the age where ego & pride have long departed, but for some reason I was pleased to read them. I saw the Poker News writer who did them yesterday & I asked him how he knew me. Turns out he was an avid viewer of the Sky Poker TV Channel & one evening I said some kind words about his play & awarded him a spot prize. We chatted for 5 or 10 minutes yesterday & he's a smashing bloke, been out here updating since the end of May & does not go home for another 10 days.

If it's not too personal a question, how is your health these days? I've seen a fair bit of Chubby Chompy out here, do you two still see plenty of each other?



Health is pretty great, thanks for asking. I was 60 yesterday, not a milestone I thought id chalk up when I was 50. Also, incredibly have still dodged covid despite being a fairly early adopter of normal socialising as soon as it was allowed

Only been to Luton once in the last few years and Chompy goes rarely so i haven't seen him in in age. We're in touch pretty frequently though. Good to hear he's quite fat  :-)

The original phrase is "For you tommy the war is over" - "Sie" being the formal "you".  Another thing to remember is never say "thank you" if a German wishes you "good luck" at the poker table.



Haha true that. I read it wrong and thought the intent was, For Tommy, the war is over. My bad and good luck 😊

Pretty sure I should know every line in that. Movie by now. Whooshed me of course but can still chuckle when explained

Fallen off the wagon!

Will weigh in and make a return on Monday ready for the run up to a holiday on the 9th.


Graffe please.

FYP

Excellent work


Not sure which of this or Stu's graph is more amusing. Either way, enjoying the laughs

Do crypto bros, in general, support mandatory lockdowns, mandatory vaccinations etc or is there no generalisation to be had there. Are they more like the gen pop with probs 80:20 demanding to be locked down and jabbed.

Ima listen to them more intently if they're like full on fuck yr fiat money you untrustworthy tyrants and fuck your mandates too.

Car's for polishing not driving Marky, quite cheap to run in that respect :-)

I am an actuary and have been mathematically modelling for 30 years.  I am not Woodsey's bloke down the pub.

These type of articles are thouroughly misleading.   There are some scenarios where the death rate is kept to a few thousand and mortality is just like a bad flu epidemic.   If that happens great, and we went too far.  We lost a lot of jobs because we were too cautious.  That isn't so good, but we can celebrate most of us have our health and can resume our lives.

There are a lot of scenarios where this does not happen.   500,000 deaths in a few weeks wasn't some extreme scenario, I looked through the paper and you wouldn't really argue with any of it.  In these scenarios we lose hundreds of thousands of people we didn't need to.    We lose a lot of jobs too as we were too reckless.  We will get on with our lives too, but we lose a lot of people and the economy is trashed anyway. 

It isn't the fact it is new that has caused the reaction, it is the fact it will leave huge numbers of bodies piled up in a very short period.  We can cope with 500,000 deaths over the year, we can't cope with 500,000 extra ones in a month. 

I could go through the article and criticise a lot of it, but am home schooling so don't have the time right now.  But focussing on current death rates is idiotic, really idiotic.  We know what is likely to happen in 2 weeks with inadequate action, we can see Italy and Spain.  We know people don't die the second they are infected, they die 17 days later on average.  We know this lag is there.  We know cases were increasing every 2 or 3 days and it will take a couple of weeks until we can see the effect of the new measures. 

If in a month or so there is a really good outcome, and our NHS isn't overwhelmed, and we discover half the population already has immunity.  We overeacted and we can all go back to booking our holidays and reopening our pubs.  Some businesses that were on the brink already will be lost.  I can look for work again, and my hope to retire a bit before pension age may be tralistic again.   I think that would be a good result in the circumstances, and will be happy we avoided the really bad results.

Some of the assumptions will be shown to be wrong, so what?
I'm totes sold on we're overreacting but tbf, I don't believe there's a climate emergency either

It is a similar thinking.

If you think there is an element of doubt, so there is only a 90% chance that the climate warming had been caused by human action.  

Do you
a) stop burning coal or

b) write an article in the Spectator saying there is a 10% chance this isn't down to us, and tell people assumptions can be wrong, so go build loads of coal powrler stations and go buy yourself big V8 cockmobiles.

Different ways of looking at the same thing, but I'd be firmly trying to do something rather than do nothing.


Is it b) ?



Now we've beaten the pandemic I fancied a brief look back to the beginning of things.

Amused me to find this reference to V8 cockmobiles in a thread I posted in as, last year I bought a V8, 4.2L, XKR

I'm now very long at the front
