It really hasn't cheered me up.

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?

(Bazongaloid, Tue 1 Feb 2011, 22:51, Reply)

I'd do a massive fucking happy dance.

They nice man at the Winning Post will get it all back over the next few weeks.

Don't be a tit
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.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 1 Feb 2011, 23:11, Reply)

*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.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 1 Feb 2011, 23:21, Reply)

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, 23:04, Reply)

I paid 3.60 for a Stowford Press in a pub on the a38 near glos the other day

( SteveFrench Cardio is for homo's. do you even lift bro?, Tue 1 Feb 2011, 23:09, Reply)

*shock*

( 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.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 1 Feb 2011, 23:22, Reply)

Can't I just whinge a bit this evening?
*Goes to get a cider*
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 1 Feb 2011, 22:57, Reply)

Whinge as much as you like
I still might judge you for it though :P

Yeah, judge him berk, judge him HARD

Al.
You've ruined my relationship with Blousie and now you're turning berk against me.

WHY?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 1 Feb 2011, 23:10, Reply)

Because you're a tosser.

(Bazongaloid, Tue 1 Feb 2011, 23:11, Reply)

I think I'll have to be now.
