In 2005 I bet £10 on Southend to win League 1 outright
at 66 to 1.

They did.

(although in the interests of honesty, it's a ritual, I make that bet every season, but at least now I can do it for 66 seasons and still not be out of pocket).

That last point is not entirely true, is it?
You have long since spent your winnings, haven't you?

I hear that AA is going to spend his winnings on 53 kindle copies of Hutchings' book

Actually 100% of the reviews I have read of it have been somewhat unfavourable

Well, yes
I'm now going to go and buy some chips for you to piss on too.

Hey, at least I drew the line at speculating what you spent it on.

Oh it would certainly have gone on booze and cigarettes.
Quite possibly that evening.

Winning the National went on a food shop for me, rock and roll(!)

Probably a slightly better option in the long run.

I fucking hate Grease. Grease 2, is also fucking awful, but it has This scene, which improves it hugely.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Fri 30 Sep 2011, 9:19, Reply)

Grease 2 is an appalling excuse of a film
For some reason I'd got it into my head that it wasn't that bad until a recent rewatch confirmed my head-wrongness.

You still knocked one out over Pfeiffer though?

Let's face it, who wouldn't?
She still looks good now, too, Stardust shows this.

I saw a picture of her from the new Tim Burton film she's doing and I didn't recognize her
Mind you, the same picture has Jonny Lee Miller with a comb-over and Johnny Depp looking how you'd expect Johnny Depp to look in a Tim Burton film.

Pics here

Is that Helena Bonham-Carter? In a Tim Burton film?
What a shock(!)

Nice!
I'm still very much in the black on my betting, I've won my bet on the National twice, both times put £5 on, I've won £110 so far.
