I don't give a fuck what you think of me, I just hope you don't get called up for jury service. :)
I wasn't flipping hoping to get called up instead!!!

You can't even claim for loss of earnings unless HMRC can confirm your self-employment status, plus proof of earnings! And how long does a flipping murder trial last? :x :x

On the plus side, I've heard a trader's standing trial for two counts of fraud; falsifying tax returns and obtaining a mortgage by deception. :lol:

In my case, I don't think it's not that bad, just niggling, somewhat.
Theirs a buyer [gambler], that's ME, and a Tradesperson that buys, and sells something, that's NOT me. That's how I have always viewed it in symplistic terms.

How many people were at the wedding? I doubt Dominic was invited but as long as 200 people didn't turn up to test their eyesight it should be okay. :lol:

I was quite jealous of him when I saw his girlfriend, who's now his wife, but not so after she spent FKW on redecorating a place they'll hopefully spend not much longer in. Despite what I think of him, as with all newlyweds, I wish them the very best.

Rant corner.... £5.10 a pint of Welsh made 4% Stella today at Uttoxeter my local track. Can't honestly get over it! Found a corner selling Thatchers in the end but what a sham. Obviously I know you pay over the odds but I won't be boozing again on course, I don't normally anyway. £5.10 for that dog w**k LOL

Heard Chester charged £60 just for a standard entry ticket, that is absolutely disgusting imo.
