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.

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

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.

"I'm a Labour supporter so I'll vote Labour even though there isn't a Labour candidate".

What a stupid woman!!

[Derek27]

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.

Britain's Most Evil Killers have done 8 series. There must be another 8 in the pipeline the way things are going. No shortage of material!

Wayne Couzens should never have been a police officer!!!

How much did they spend on an inquiry to discover that?

I've just thrown away a whole box of Rice Crispies. I tried to crush them first using a potato masher before filling the food waste bin ... you'll be surprised how difficult it is!

It should be possible for Sky News to talk about obesity without showing all that disgusting fried food being served on a plate and smothered with mayonnaise.

Men have been presenting the news on Sky all day now!
