Off Topic The Goodhand Arms

Murray should play warm up matches in the morning more often! Completely awesome stuff, some of the returns he was making off 140 mph serves were just ridiculous.

Djokovic is the best player in the world, but I would stick my neck out and say that Murray can beat him at Wimbledon this year, just like he did in 2013, which was just after the last time he won Queens.

 

To be sure, we could just go and kneecap Djokovic?

 

Rosberg wins Austrian GP. Basically just quicker than Hamilton this weekend. McLaren horror show continues.

 

Good drive. Made the most of it at a track that suits him.

 

Yep. I mean he's not as good as Hamilton, there's no doubt, but too many people somehow mistake him as a bad driver, which he certainly isn't. Hamilton is just exceptional.

 

Interesting that Raikonnen realises how bad the McLaren's are and offered Alonso a lift

 

FLT, I'm sure you've seen this, but my daughter sent me this link as a belated father's day pressie

OMG. Sad 46 year old alert.

 

Oh just in time for Fathers Day for me!!! Not seen that. Thank you!!

 

So, it turns out that going and playing roulette in a casino at 5am after a night out might have been a bad idea...

 

Mr McIlroy has joined the party. 6 under on his round today, and now just 2 shots off the lead at the US Open.

 

It's late, but I'll bite.

 

Bite on what, TSS?

 

Kimi's not much better right now...

 

Why does it turn out to be a bad idea re: casino, 5am, etc..?

But I can probably guess.

 

Ah, yes. I went in with £10 after a night out for an old friend's birthday.

Anyway, I chose to sit and play some roulette and worked my way up to £180 - and went back to having £10.

I then got back up to £120, before promptly plummeting to £0.

Mug, I believe, is the term here. (Feel free to add your own, folks...)

 

You're only 10 quid down, that's fine. Would have been nice for you to walk away while you were up, but very few people do. That's why casinos exist.

 

Can I tell you my smug slot machine story now.?

 

I once bet 1/- each way on a horse. I didn't win any money and so have never gambled since. I should think I am quids in on all you gambling types.

 

Nope. You are easily down on my personal count.

 

I usually say at this point...I bet once. Like Godders, I made one bet on a Saints game (yeah, I know), lost and have never bet again (apart from the usual office Grand National stuff). Some people may be ahead, but bookies are rich....that tells you that most will lose. Occasional fun, okay, but mugs game really. My brother said once I would never get rich, but guess who is lending money to their family (now that is a mug's game).
