Great result. Well played that man!!!

I am particularly interested on your analysis of betting frequency at each street.

how on earth can you compare someone's right to wear a burka with a right to blow a vuvuzela?  Can other people really be annoyed/offended by what someone else chooses to wear?  Unless it's obscene, I very much doubt it.  Those bloody horn things are incredibly annoying though, and if they are as loud as they sound on the telly, could potentially cause damage to people's hearing.

edit: boo boldie beat me to it, and said it better  

next they will be banning talking at the table...... Can somebody tell me why anybody would need to wear a burka?

You'll play both donkaments Snat, we both knows it...

Just been looking ahead to next Thursday. Was thinking a mass exodus to Circus Circus could be on the cards, but they're running a satellite for the weekend £100 jobbie. So no tourney between two casinos. Meh.

Looks like I'll be taking my rightful place with 70-odd grunting youngsters on wankers' Wednesday instead.

Can't do the weekday stuff. Too old. I may play both but it was just so quiet on here today I thought I would prod it with a stick.

OR A WOMAN

Good point, ATR has done the same for one of their programs and I'm also still not used to that female footie commentator.

It's just wrong.

The female sports reviewer on the BBC morning news wants taking out and shooting. Sorry love but when you say the England rugby team aren't very good maybe you would like to look one of them in the eye.
Can't stand Alliss anymore but at least he is better than Stuart Hall or Alan Green.....and there I will stop as my blood pressure has just gone up!!!!

Its quiet.....some would say too quiet.

I am thinking of going to play tomorrow......just can't decide afternoon or evening. Definitely not both.

Is there anybody out there!!!!!

Didn't you prefer him when he played for Spurs

This is without doubt my favorite thread, i miss the tube especially the northern line, i used to travel from the bottom of Islington up to Totteridge & Whetstone nearly every day in the summer hols to go and play golf. i had various routes depending on what bus turned up first it was either south to old st or north to archway but if the 271 bus was being awkward which it often was I could find myself walking to the angel. I will never forget the day i was stopped by the transport police as a train pulled in to Archway he asked to look in my plastic bag because someone fitting my description (yeah right) had been spotted spraying graffiti, the look on his face when he saw my golf shoes was priceless lol.

I have a good bus tube story that happened this week.......one for a later date

Best escalator is Angel - standing at the bottom is like looking up at infinity.

Hmm never been......a gap in my education

Snatty

i would encourage you to use the stairs at covent garden - just once!

Loving this thread btw - BoB plz

I hadthe misfortune to do it just the once when I was a lot younger. Makes Positano feel like a cake walk!!!

Just too knackered to play tbh.
Anyway got to go out tomorrow for a drink and I am too old to go out two nights running!!!!

Okay chaps I need a convincing reason for Mrs. Snat why I should come out to play!!!!

A couple of questions for tonight...

Last race this evening is 9.05pm. If I leave after that I'll get to the G at 9.45pm, which will be right towards the end of the break.
Can I still buy in during the break or is it just until the end of level 2?
If someone were to buy me in before half eight, would someone at the table be able to buy the add on for me without me being present?

You do realise that it is a quid every time you post due to my image rights on your picture........kerrrrchingggg

To all those that read this stuff and have told me they like it.....I thank you

The aeroplane story goes as follows. No I just can’t do it. Not this week anyway. I will get to it at some point but right now I have to talk about escalators. I am compelled to share this very important and little known fact. When transferring from the Northern line to the Hammersmith and City at Kings Cross one of the escalators moves faster than the other.
Now bear with me here. I am not talking about the poxy little first escalator you get on; oh no I am talking about the monstrously large second escalator. There are two escalators that go up at this point I call them Victoria and Albert as they are quite old. Victoria is the one on the left and Albert is the one on the right and Albert covers the journey faster than Victoria.

On my first day I had the misfortune to mount Victoria only to find Albert’s passengers slowly going past me. It was at this point I decided to measure just how much faster Albert is. Well today I finished my incredibly scientific research and the answer is ten steps. The problem I have is that now I know this I find myself faced with the true British dilemma. Do I go on something that you know will get there faster or do I rebel and go on the slowly meandering Victoria with her quaint charms of the advertising boards.

Furthermore, as you probably know, you are meant to stand on the right of the escalator so that the left is kept clear for people who want to walk up in a hurry because they are late for their Costa coffee. Well what do I tell the people walking up Victoria? “Oi you!! You are on the slow one so you can’t be in that much of a rush”. I don’t think so. No I think what I shall do is what I always do. I shall quietly smile to myself and remember that a little research can save a whole load of effort, get you where you want to be faster and in a more relaxed and better frame of mind.

Until next week please allow the passengers off the train first please!

This thread has become like putting on an old pair of slippers
