HAL9000: I know I've made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal. I've still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in the mission.
(btw 2001 A Space Odyssey...the book it's based on was written in 1948!!!)

Yes, quite often, when I'm bored. I have come to terms with it, seems like it's a part of me.
But nothing serious, it's like visiting a casino on a vacation, pure relaxation gambling.

One of the best quotes around.

I think his lawyer said that. 26yrs inside looks like losing from Mr Mandela's perspective.wearthefoxhat wrote: ↑Tue Jan 24, 2023 8:39 amThe Silk Run wrote: ↑Mon Jan 23, 2023 9:41 pm"I never lose. I either win, or I learn"

This reminded me of a race from many years ago when I was purely a punter. I'd had a bet in an Irish race at Gowran I think. My horse a 12/1 shot had wandered a bit in the closing stages but looked in the photo to have won just like here. It was 1/10 in-running to win the photo. I couldn't believe it when the result went to the other horse.
Marelly was 1.14 when it crossed the line.
Then £1000's traded between 1.10 to a low of 1.02.

Bonkers, though bet some clever ones figured out the bias in the angle and coined in...wilf wrote: ↑Wed Jan 25, 2023 2:21 pmMarelly was 1.14 when it crossed the line.

on the back of that thought I think I’ve done something mind bogglingly clever this morning, well for me anywayThe Silk Run wrote: ↑Mon Jan 23, 2023 9:41 pm"I never lose. I either win, or I learn"
