Got to appreciate the honesty here. It's not exactly free money, and the reason the bookies do it, of course, is to hook people into a gambling habit. Having said that, stocks and shares aren't entirely risk free either I suppose (not that I've ever had enough money to take a punt at that). My...

I probably made somewhere around 500 doing this a while ago, so it is possible. When talking about matched betting, in essence I think of this as taking advantage of the bookies free offers. The way it works is you sign up with a bookies that's offering a "bet £x and we'll give you a free £x...

You guys have got too much time on your hands! :)

Me too. Or any cheap, cold lager on a hot day, or something like Bombadier, Timmy Taylor’s, or London Pride if I’m in somewhere like The Nursery and want a warm beer (pub rather than childcare, they don’t like me drinking in the latter for some reason).

2% too. Even I could probably have a couple of those without a hangover the next day, or falling asleep on the table. Yeah, Buzz Lightweight, I know. I suspect some posters here would be having that on their cornflakes for breakfast. :)

Later on Sky’s ‘Reading Tonight’ show, a look through the Royal’s Simod Cup runs of the 1980s. Who are that lot in light blue, by the way?

Hamer time. Goalie. U can’t touch this. :) (Sorry, don’t doubt someone beat me to it...)

Yep, that’s my line on it too. Just because it’s become accepted doesn’t actually make it justified, imho. It’s about making a few more quid at the end of the day, the line about balancing out international call-ups is a bit of a smoke screen to me. Fundamentally if Premiership rugby says...

I care. I’d like to see them get absolutely hammered. I know, it’s petty, and spiteful, but there you are. They shouldn’t have franchised themselves and in doing so stitched us up, I guess. If or when they finally fold up or move on, the Rugby Premiership will be far less interesting for...

The bond price is a pretty good indication of whether the bond holders see it as a good thing. Personally, I can’t see any way that a company that’s already massively leveraged taking on more debt is a good thing, but maybe that’s just me. I’m also struggling to see how a stadium and...

On this at least, I think they’ve misunderstood that not everything has to be like it was in Hillfields... :)

Without wanting to be unfair to them, they’ve had a bit of that. Bath were spectacularly disorganised too, when that game went to uncontested scrums (which is always a farce, imho) - no way Wasps should have won that one either. Clearly the devil looks after his own. :)

I can’t see anything about Les Reid being sacked anywhere, is this just a rumour? As for Wasps, fair play to them, but their improved on-pitch performance doesn’t make any of their off-pitch shenanigans any less reprehensible, imho.

Congratulations, hope you’re all doing well. It gets easier, I’ve been told the first twenty years are the hardest. :)

Well, without going into any huge analysis, I’ve got to say that I enjoyed that. Apart from most of the first half where we looked completely overawed, that is. Robins continues to impress me, we were a different side in the second half which must have something to do with the halftime team...

Diana Rigg, definitely the reason why I used to watch The Avengers! I don’t think I ever understood a single episode, but it always looked like good fun. Then there was The New Avengers, Purdey, and Steed’s Jaguar 5.3C. I never entirely got that show either, but I really wanted that car!

I think a few people might take issue with that mate! It’s s different game for sure, with a different skill set, but personally RL leaves me cold. Some people hate both codes of course, it’s just a matter of personal taste.

Diminished responsibility is a risky defence. You might well exchange a long but defined jail term for an indeterminate (that is, potentially endless) spell at somewhere like Broadmoor. The people that rage about mentally insecure people being released and going on to commit further crimes are...

Anyone here who jumped on the ‘left wing media cover-up Somali refugee hate crime’ bandwagon, now has the chance to take a cold hard look at themselves, what they believe, and where they’re getting the information that drives these beliefs. I’m serious. There’s no need to say anything on here...
