I started listening to the Court of Appeal's summary of the Shamima Begun judgement. flipping hell, I fell asleep after a few minutes.
And she calls it a summary! Wouldn't like to read the full judgement.
RANT CORNER
Have you seen the latest Betfred advert? They're now depicting gamblers as alcoholics, gathering in a park and all they do is talk about and advise each other how they control their gambling. It's like an AA meeting taking place down the pub.

Funny how a lot of people automatically link gambling and alcohol, personally I never mix the two. There maybe a link I don't know tbh but you could link alcohol to most things criminal like domestic abuse, assault, rape etc If there is a very strong link maybe restrict alcohol instead and not gambling that'd be a good idea as I'm still ruff as f@ck after a full session on Saturday

Alcohol lowers inhibitions and leads to bad decisions consistently If you've ever heard of, or done the infamous "fuk it" strategy you will know it's definitely not +EV

Just highlights why you need an 'exit' strategy

Euphoria inducing, intoxicating (note the toxic element there!), depressant. That's alcohol in a nutshell. Take your pick from that smorgasbord. But I think I'd like a proper smorgasbord instead.Kai wrote: ↑Mon Feb 26, 2024 11:07 amMay be a link?Michael5482 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 26, 2024 9:07 amFunny how a lot of people automatically link gambling and alcohol, personally I never mix the two.

£16 for a pack of fags ?
A couple, one in a mobility scooter, the other with a trolley, navigated the entire length of Lidl side-by-side, stopping wherever necessary, completely oblivious to the traffic jam behind them with people having to take diversions just to get a few yards in front of them!
Next time it happens, I'm gonna take a different aisle, get in front of them and stop, see how they like it.

I saw that in the Metro headline but haven't heard anything about it from an official source. It's gonna reach that price in a year or two anyway.
