Oh, tell me about it my very cunning trade on Bordeaux looks kaput!

Er...he's gonna trade. Let's say he put a ?10 on Switzerland at 330, profit = ?3300 if they get through the group stages they will drop and then you lay.. say they drop to 75 you then lay at your optimum trade off, someone do the maths. It's trading folks. TLS come back all is forgiven.

It could have been Mamora Man! I agree with the poster as it happens!

I've laid England Too RC - well underpriced.

-1 off them.....that difficult PGC

Dc Argentina best price 11 Here's the top 10 (decimal odds) Spain 5 Brazil 6 England 7 Argentina 11 Italy 15 Germany 15 Holland 15 France 19 Ivory Coast 29 Portugal 32 Brendan First Foreigner shot English Evens

I think the article was written when ED still felt a bit more creative/alternative rather than the more Clapham escapee type feel it has now, although it still retians both and I'm not making any judgement. Just I think it's full of yuppie scum...er, joke.

Without Rooney we've no chance. Fingers crossed etc.

The Football Focus thread tends to have a crowd of regular posters whereas the World Cup is likely to attract the interest of a far wider audience. I suggested to Admin we had a seperate thread for all things World Cup - so a place for thoughts, predictions, betting ;-) which pubs are showing the games etc. So for South Africa 2010 this is that thread. Fill yer boots.

City here I come

It means you can become the bookie Declan. Say Ireland are 6 (decimal) to win the Grand Slam and you don't think they've a cat in hells chance you can lay it...in effect offer 6. So if you lay ?2 you'll win just ?2 if they fail...if they get the Grand Slam you're ?10 down. Risky business. BUT...you can use it for Hedging and trading more but that's an entirely different story

Yeah, but to be fair so was Bobby Moore

Daizie's the EDF guru on these matters

I have a sneaking regard for AD not least in his patience. If I were him I'd have rammed my budget up his neighbours arse quite a few months ago...I think it's quite funny that he's got Gordon by the short and Curlies as last year Gordon was going to ditch him and had his rotweillers brief the press about this. Then when there were a whole load of resignations Gordon had to about turn them and absolutely denied it (ADs sacking) to the press corps at Westminster on the same day he'd banged on about his upbringing and how his dad had steeped him in honesty. They knew he was lying and so did he...on that day the media at Westminster lost respect for Brown which is partly why he has liitle support among the political media. This man will do anything to get elected I personally can't stand him.

Moving to Surrey is probably high up in the list of what middleaged people do.

Actually I meant my youth ended at 42...which is different to becoming middleaged

My middle age began at 42 when my first kid was born. 30 year olds really shouldn't worry about middleage I much preferred my 30s to my 20s - still in good nick, more confident, more dosh..your 30s are great. Enjoy.

If we're all so clever how come we're crammed into ?500,000k+ 3 bedroom workers victorian terraces and you've got 12 bedrooms? Good luck etc

This could be fun *opens can of Stella sits back*

I only said blow......etc

and whilst we are on the press of middle-england...

We'll just call you wolfie then

I've got a copy of my nan's diary from the doodlebugs, which she always said was worse than the original Blitz because of the droney noise and then waiting for an explosion, reading it now it is really clear that she was practically on the edge of a nervous breakdown. In the end she took my mum and her sister up to relatives in Liverpool. My grandad was also on the Woolwich Ferry when they got that School in Silvertown where loads were sheltering. They said 'only' 600 dead but people say it was far worse. F*ck me and we moan about a bit of inconvenience nowadays.

Where exactly is the Horniman's car prk by the way? *Nods in direction of unregistered detective*
