I just did a test of my speed with Virgin and got 47mbps. When I see some of you with 13 and 10 I think that must be really slow. Makes me wonder if I'm overrating my speed in that maybe I could be just as happy with a slower speed and better off paying less with Sky. They phoned me the other day as I was a TV customer, but changed to Virgin as they offered an increased broadband speed if you took their tele too. When I said I wouldn't mind at all changing back to Sky tele if only they sorted out their broadband, I was surprised that the response I got was not one of defence of their product but like an understanding that they couldn't compete.

There's always soda bread there but I was talking about making your own......sort of. I think they have two different sizes of soda bread.

In my day going to a pub for good music meant driving into the wilderness to a little out of the way place where you could see treats like Clannad or The Furey Brothers or even Paul Brady. This was only a few miles from home. Going to the pub otherwise was to meet your friends for drinks and talk. Karaoke wasn't invented. Don't know what a pub full of tossers is nowadays as I don't really frequent very often. It funny how people on here often write about places with great athmosphere. What does that mean apart from being able to breath the air?

No you didn't. You just realised your name was so untrue you felt obliged to change it.

WoD may be more astute than that!

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=cupcakes I knew there was more to this thread than my understanding of life and the Universe. So I looked it up on Urban Dictionary. Which one is it? I'm leaning towards number 6. ETA..I wrote the above before I realised there was a number 7.

Has AC been barking up the wrong tree then?

Emm....I still not quite sure what you can do with your winnings, if there were any. Have you sussed that out? I'm also not sure you can call it a great promotion if the best odds you have of winning are more than 5/1. You should know that bookies are not idiots.

I was quite impressed by United. They didn't do much wrong. Welbeck appears to be better than I thought he was.

Yeah but great value and 'free' are two different things.

If you like soda bread and have a breadmaker they have flour for that too.

How you define 'free' appears to be the nub of the arguement. I think it's something for nothing. In this case you have to spend to receive. That's not 'free' is it?

In my case I got some threatening PM's. I retrospect I should have ignored them.

I'm tempted to have a ?5 bet this week to prove that if my ?5 'entry fee' dries up the following week so does my (not so) free accie! Even if you do win something, it's a bit like that charity shop on LL. Anything you get you have to spend it in the shop.

You can't even withdraw your winnings but can use them on other non accie bets. Raise the white flag...........please

Deadman?

I was me before I went through a wardrobe and then returned to being me but in an anagram sort of way.

.......and stop using that ?10 as a red herring!

I've an idea who it is but I had to research it so not sure if that counts.

It's a trap Quids.There's no way out. You have to bet the money you put in and the money they give you back in the same week.It costs you ?5 per week to stay in. Having a 'free' ?5 bet is not the same as having ?5. Lets say this offer lasts for 30 weeks. You have to invest 30x?5 to play i.e ?150. This also gives you another ?150 to bet. If you don't win one bet you have lost ?150. You have read the T&C's have you? https://support.skybet.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/346?TLSessId=1111111705d4409ae35f178d6559106a 1st paragraph, you bet 'only' ?5 per week.

Yeah, how does that work? The BT pundits only say good things about MC? I wonder will the day come where clubs do their own TV deals to show matches here like they do in Spain. I hope not as La Liga is forever a two horse race. It's anyone's guess here between half a dozen clubs.

Eh? I think you mean AC.
