Oh man, I'd love to watch you two wrestling.

I think an "entry" fee would be more appropriate

It was beyond shit.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 1 Feb 2011, 22:36, Reply)

Not the best season for you lot.

( SteveFrench Cardio is for homo's. do you even lift bro?, Tue 1 Feb 2011, 22:39, Reply)

No. Down to 19th now.
On the plus side, I was in the bookies pre-match and one of their betting markets was 'both teams to score' from a list of about 25 games.

It was paying 9/1 if you selected 4, 17/1 for 5 28/1 for 6 correct and 40/1 if you picked 7.

I've just checked my betting slip and my £3.00 stake is now a £143.00 win.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 1 Feb 2011, 22:44, Reply)

Not so 'fucking shit' after all, then?

(berk, Tue 1 Feb 2011, 22:47, Reply)

I could have had a bet and not gone to the football.
That would have been better.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 1 Feb 2011, 22:48, Reply)

Don't you have a season ticket though?
So it's not like it cost you anything to go, and how can watching your team suck balls be any worse than hearing about it? At least you benefitted from it in some way.
(berk, Tue 1 Feb 2011, 22:51, Reply)

Season ticket costs about £400 a year
So if I don't go, it's wasted money.

Sunk costs
you can't count those, Jeff, that's a mugs game. Economics 101.

Arsenal won which is nice

Who did you have this evening?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 1 Feb 2011, 22:51, Reply)

Everton at home they went 1-0 up with an offside goal
before Arshavin and Koscielny scored for us.
( SteveFrench Cardio is for homo's. do you even lift bro?, Tue 1 Feb 2011, 22:54, Reply)

I was tempted to add Arsenal to my list of selections, but I didn't see Everton scoring.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 1 Feb 2011, 22:56, Reply)

yeah well it was 2 yards offside cheating fucks

( SteveFrench Cardio is for homo's. do you even lift bro?, Tue 1 Feb 2011, 22:58, Reply)

Maybe the ref didn't understand the offside rule?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 1 Feb 2011, 23:17, Reply)

You fucking miserable cunt
If someone gave me $140 I'd be fucking happy.

I thought money was tight?
(berk, Tue 1 Feb 2011, 22:55, Reply)

Yeah, but anyone who places a £3 bet on such crazy set of results
clearly has a gambling problem.
(Bazongaloid, Tue 1 Feb 2011, 22:56, Reply)

£3.00
Is less than the cost of a pint, hardly problem gambling.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 1 Feb 2011, 22:57, Reply)

You just said you would mostly likely spend it all back at the bookies over the next few weeks
Firstly, gambling in the first place is such a totally nonsensical thing to do, but then if you do get a big win, you ought to take that as a lesson and not gamble again. The whole reason bookies exist is simply because you can never, ever win in the long run.
(Bazongaloid, Tue 1 Feb 2011, 23:02, Reply)

This, all of this in the world.

(berk, Tue 1 Feb 2011, 23:04, Reply)

all this is true but it's still fun to stick on an accumulator for a couple of quid at the weekend.

( SteveFrench Cardio is for homo's. do you even lift bro?, Tue 1 Feb 2011, 23:06, Reply)

Exactly this.
I know a few people who take their gambling very seriously and the money they lose (and win) us scarey. But these people are the type who will place a long priced bet and then lay off the risk by betting bigger sums on a more likely winner when things settle down.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 1 Feb 2011, 23:14, Reply)

To be honest.
It is unlikely I'll give it all back to the bookie. I'll probably spend some of the money on cider and curry.

*sigh*
How is the whole job thing going, anyway?
(berk, Tue 1 Feb 2011, 23:14, Reply)

It's quite interesting at the moment.
Contracts are still too short for me to be comfortable signing a 6 month lease on a place though, but there are a fair number of things out there to consider.

Any PhD news today?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 1 Feb 2011, 23:15, Reply)

You've said pretty much that every time I've asked
what I actually mean when I ask is, have you actually applied for stuff and got interviews and things?
Still no news.
(berk, Tue 1 Feb 2011, 23:17, Reply)

God yeah, I've had meetings with various recruiters (in fact, I had one this morning)
But I'm trying to make a major move, not fall back into the usual habit of 'get contract, work, be miserable'.

I'm trying to make some changes. I'm okay for a few months yet.

less than the cost of a pint? Blimey it's steep by Bristol way

( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Tue 1 Feb 2011, 23:10, Reply)

Three quid is less than the cost of a pint though.
How much is beer round your way?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 1 Feb 2011, 23:09, Reply)

£2.60 ish
not been out for a pint recently, though, since I'm usually driving
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Tue 1 Feb 2011, 23:10, Reply)

2 pints is between 6 and 7 quid.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 1 Feb 2011, 23:17, Reply)

That's bloody ridiculous
although it's roughly the same in some of the pubs near me.
(berk, Tue 1 Feb 2011, 23:17, Reply)

You get used to it.
Most pubs in Bristol have seen no change from six quid for a couple of pints for at least 18 months.
