Took some more profit on my Villa relegation bet by laying them at 1.65

Ditto on my QPR bet


As I was on Betfair I thought I'd do some mug punting too. So laid Man U at 1.4 for the title, just one slip up or a loss at city and I'll trade; Did a small bet on Ros? for the Open at 35; England out right winners of 6 nations at 2.75, thoughts Mr Medic?

England look good but two wins do not make a 6 nations title. And you will do well to win in Dublin anyway. if you do, you cannot take wins against Wales/France (or even Italy) for granted.

Cheltenham fantasy, yes for me.


Just checking my live bets. Have backed On His Own (12 Feb ante post) at 14s for the National. Can Willy Mullins do the business again for Ireland. Has 10:10 in the weights.


No bets on the festival yet.


Tonights golf have addedFowler and Yang to my list as all others have disappeared from contention. Expensive business.

Back 'D.A. Points' for ?20.00 @ 32 to Win ?620.00 Ref: 26085998923 | Bet placed: 18:08 28-Mar-2013 GMT


I stuck to my guns and held out on my bet until the end. This was despite the attentions of the arch "hedger" Mr Quids who was visiting for dinner and insisted I should take a ?70 profit at 830pm , but bottle held out for the big prize. :)


3200....

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
