    There's nowt wrong with a good old bet if your in control, i suppose that counts me out of that catagory then lol.

    But in all seriousnes you can have a bet without it affecting you it's when you start lumping on odds on favorites when i think people have got a problem.

    Football is definatley the most fun way to bet in my opinion, i always get a run for my money aswell with the bet i have on a football match.

     

    As they say in Vegas...the house always wins:)

     

    ..but a flutter certainly spices up a cup tie like Rochdale vs Luton Town on a grey cold November evening in downtown Lancashire... no offence intended to grey cold Lancasterians

    I don't gamble in points, I gamble in pounds, lots of them.

     

    ..and you are posting from a netbook while sipping a cocktail on a beach in the Bahamas no doubt:hihi:

     

    I've given up handing over my dosh to bookies, I have a few Euros each week down at a bookies near the Vatican of all places and no the place is not full of Nuns and priests...alas I have to stick to points and Fantasy Football Leagues for my larger aspirations:cool:

    What's all this points business about m8, im a fractions man myself lol :hihi:

     

    Points instead of pounds....better to lose points than Euros and sterling

     

    You can run a book on how quickly it takes me to lose 500 points:hihi:

     

    If I come unstuck it will probably be at Rochdale in the Cup...eckythump:o

    Double tonight

     

    60/40 stakes...Southampton win plus Rochdale win 60pts

     

    Rochdale win and Southhampton draw 40 pts

     

    Monday night I lost 10 points on accum but 5pts bet on Benitez to score for Birmingham against Liverpool 13/1 netted 65pts, minus 10 that means 55pts profit

     

    Lets say say Corker I start with a 500 pts bank

     

    Current bank 555pts and 100 pts in play tonight...see how fast it takes for me to lose 500 pts!!!

    ban bnp threads:)

     

    Most of the BNP people who seemed to take over the Forum a couple of years ago, have all been banned to my knowledge...perhaps I am wrong on that. A few have tried to come back under different names but they too seem to have been handed bans.

     

    I was surprised that Griffin turned up today when the soldiers killed in action were returned home...I am surprised that the man didnt get a good kicking from the families gathered to mourn their loved ones

     

    What a cheap and nasty little corporal Griffin is. One day he will get what he deserves and crawl back under his stone.

    remembered!!

    I attended Pye Bank from around 1970 to 1975...great memories

     

    I heard that the basic fabric of the school would be retained and the building converted into luxury flats...not sure if this is correct

     

    Old classmates would include...Michael Hargate, John McGuiness, Simeon Sparks, Harris Hamilton, Wayne Birdip, Paul Greasby, Paula Johnson 8not sure about the first name, Christopher Gott. Lee Williamson..who I believe is Head of Drama at a college in the South. There was a guy who lived across from the school and I cannot remeber his name...he went to Boys Brigade with me...something Laughton I think...my memory!!!

     

    Karl Laughton! He was a good mate and I often wondered what Karl went on to do after Pye Bank

    Pay's nearly 10/1 that with Ladbrokes m8 u got much on it?????

     

    Usual 10 Euros..with StanleyBet in Rome...although the odds are shocking over here for matches and you cannot get bookies online

     

    I was tempted to go for a large flutter on 60/40 stakes...60 Barnsley win and 40 for draw...still a bit of profit either way...if on Betfair you would go big on laying Utd...but you never know with Utd

     

    Good luck tonight with your tips

    Wasn't '' The road to nowhere '' about Sheffield ?

     

    Ouch...the old girl took a knock there...that is no way to treat a lady

     

    As I suspected there are very few songs about Sheffield...surely there are singer sonwriters to correct that...now who knows Richard Hawley, perhaps he should have a go:huh:

    Why are there no great songs about Sheffield? I can think of Coles Corner but I cannot think of a song with Sheffield in the title or am I wrong?

     

    Perhaps there is a Pulp song that sums up Sheffield?

     

    If there is no song, perhaps Richard or Jarvis or Joe could come up with something...any thoughts?:)

     

    I expect people will think of song titles to fit their view of Sheffield but I think the old girl should have her own song

    I remember the "Minor's Matinees" on a saturday morning, with Those awful films starring a very youthful Keith Chegwin, ("Young Robin Hood", among others!!)

     

    I remember it cost five pence (!) to get in to the Minors Matinee, and my first boyfriend (we were 13!) was a rotten skinflint (lol), and he'd make me pay my five pence myself! (what?? I'll meet you inside??!! pah! can't you guess... he didn't last long!)

     

    You'd be brought out onto the stage with your cards if it was your birthday, and they's sing happy birthday and that dire song about "the minors of the ABC!" aand the manager always used to look uncomfortable as he tried to control the little hoolicans chucking boiled sweets at him and the birthday boys and girls, such as Dixon's mint-rock. Crikey, it was bedlam!

     

    Do you remember, you got badges with letters of the alphabet on them, if you were a regular attender, and you tried to build up the whole alphabet..?

     

    Plain Talker

     

    I bet you had all the badges plaintalker and stop knocking Keith Chegwin in the CFF.s

     

    I remember throwing Polo mints at the kids on the front row and walking down from Pitsmoor on a Saturday morning with my sis in tow

     

    My favourites were the cartoons...Mighty Mouse :)

     

    My Nan worked in the cafe part of the ABC and I often popped in to see her. When the manager was diverted we would be treated to tea and cake gratis
