A mess,there was all these sensible guys walking around in a daze wondering how they were going to get their football bets on for tonight.
betting on the carling cup 4.50 Tomorrow we see a horse I have been waiting for start his handicapping career. Spanish Plume. Interesting horse, EW dabble.
Sellotape their selections to a brick and hurl it through the window....!!...apologies for that poor attempt at humour...so far things seem quiet...Met look much more proactive this evening.
Linden....I would hope such a contract would be honoured in these unusual circumstances..they would probobly carbon date the ink on the slip before hand though!!
Dex made me remember my lovely old gran 50 so years ago,her tanner doubles on a old cigarette packet and her nom de plume JOE 9, my brothers name and her door number,me running round to "BOTTLES" the bookie,who was on the street corner.I was good at maths so I could work out her bets and she would give me threepence when she won.Those were the ,no I must not say it.
OddDog: I wish you continued luck with Sky stock (think you are still well up with your purchase?) but I cannot agree that this is a good time to buy shares, not yet anyway. The financial markets are in chaos, generally speaking, and there will be some good buys in the medium term, but not right now? Pure hindsight, and I mean hindsight, tells me that the Swiss Franc has been the best bet over the past 4 years or so? Last time I checked: mid-2008: €100 = CHF168/Aug-2011: €100 = CHF104. Real problem for the Swiss as nobody can afford to go there, but not for anyone holding the currency outside of that country?
