Why don't Amazon get rid of these conmen? £8.10 for the jeans that are out of stock, up to £143.05 for the rest!

Supply and demand. Caveat Emptor.
Not the same as a national service charging £350 or £35 for the same journey.
I still can't unravel that. It either decsribes how witless we are to allow that disparity or there is something really quite wrong with how we as a nation run essential services.

After a hard day's trading I usually sleep like a baby - I'm out in 5-10 minutes. Last night I had a one-hour session on my multigym, the first in ages. I felt knackered yet it took me over an hour to fall asleep!
You shouldn't workout close to bedtime :) But you can put on some ASMR if you want to fall asleep quickly.
I'm giving it four hours tonight. Brazilian Serie B match, a flatbread pizza and an hour of comedy. :)

Bumfair are absolute bums. If you can't keep a market open you shouldn't open it in the first place, or even run an exchange!

I only trade at this time of night to wind down from the stresses of the day, wankers!

I needed a dump, badly. Then Lens goes and flipping scores while I'm doing the business. They should have held up the match!

Here you go Derek. Here's another chance for you to either....

a) Make some useful connections at Betfair
b) Tell them how they're all bum monkeys.

Let me know if you're going and I'll get a ringside seat. :)

I'm not bothered about what an event is about, it's just an opportunity to engage as far as I'm concerned.

But the straight answer is it's a tech event. You're into your coding and I think you'd get a lot from talking to similar people, they're not all brain-boxes which was my concern the first time. Or you could just swap info with one of the more useful Betfair guys, have a pint and fck off home again. :D

Trial by media is a scary concept. What ever happened to Due Process ?
It disappeared when the wokerati and LL's became the majority in the media.

I just received 30-inch waist jeans, same size as all my other jeans. You probably need a 26-inch waist and matchstick legs to get into them!

It's been one of those days where just 60 seconds in the rain is the same as jumping in a swimming pool!

I've give up they can't keep there fingers off the suspension button on the England, Betfair may as well just close all the markets. Only game I've bothered with all week as well.

Something funny's going on. I'm trading a Spanish Segunda Division match and it keeps going in-play without even being suspended, unless it's suspended for a few milliseconds so Peter doesn't have time to say it's suspended.
