thats exactly what ive been doing e/w doubles. but no cashing out. and not looking to see if ive won till the next day and usually being pleasantly surprised. with gambling i did think id found the perfect way to beat the bookies. in football whoever scored first id back the other side to win. it worked for two weekends but then it dawned on me that a team that is gonna hammer the opposition 3, 4 or 5 -0 usually score first. so i binned it after too many second chances.... then i noticed tennis whoever won the first set invariably lost the match. wimbledon this year the first day of quarter finals 3/4 games went like that. but its usually just random. i got into accumulators on scoring another goal from 80 mins onwards. 3 or 4 teams. never won anything big. i only bet a quid here and there so im not going to. but i once went 6 months without having to add any funds. been 2 months now. prob bet £15 a week. season starts and its double that. my lad and my son in law both got into bad habits mainly because its so easy to add funds and fritter it away. with me drink smoking gambling i can stop when i want. but ill bet some people struggle.

Railway tracks, apparently they got as hot as 65 degrees which is enough to cause them to buckle and bend. My question is when they cool down will they manage to straighten themselves out again?
even i can see from those that there are more hot spikes in the last 50 years than the previous 120 years. it is plain to see the frequency with which they are happening is increasing. good find dmd. time to do something. (unless no one gives a toss about our childrens children)
Doesn't add up, a rail track is an I profile 4 x 2 inch at a guess. If the heat has been enough to bend that how come everyone's car bonnets and boots are not all bent and buckled? They could be over a square meter of tin a mm or so thick. And what about the Audi drivers who's cars are made of aluminium.
Last time they declared a major incident was when Big Dave accidentally trod on the only remaining ping pong ball during the annual Clough Rd comp. They had to deploy 2 x appliances to Sports Direct to purchase some more. Frightening times. #Heroes
Is it not caused by the weight of trains going over it as well as the friction generated by the wheels? At a guess, most car bonnets can withstand high temperatures from the engine underneath (which are usually heat shielded are they not?) and the exhaust running under it, so they wouldn't warp in the heat of the day.
^Give this man a ceegar - all (or it was ALL) the rail in this country is produced on my old plant; UK spec rail wasn't produced to the same spec as countries that historically have much higher temperatures than ours historically had; I'm fairly sure this spec will have changed but, replacing 10,000 miles of rail track isn't going to happen overnight.
wont it be more to do with expansion length wise? in the old days i remember playing on the railway lines and seeing gaps for expansion at the end of each length. maybe now they use longer lengths to save money and cant cope with expansion?
