Brilliant.
I just went to the bookies to pick up a coupon for my football selections this weekend.

Whilst in Corals, I stuck a fiver on Whipperway running in the 2.10 at Fontwell.

I've just checked and it came home first at 16/1. I need to go back to the bookies now to claim my winnings!

This makes my 'special day' even more special. I never bet on the horses usually.

Q: What was the last bet you made and did it win?

grand national
first time in a bookies, first time betting on the horses and mine came in first.

Same, couple of years back
If we'd been in an hour earlier, the odds were 10/1, I got it at 7/1.

That's always the danger of taking the SP.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Thu 23 Sep 2010, 14:42, Reply)

Mine was at 16:1 when I put the bet on
but I didn't tick the "take these odds" box, so won at 10:1. Earned me a tenner.

I almost put a fiver on, but then was like "don't be stupid". Stupid.

I have a wager with our own resident Mr Grinch, Monty Boyce.
The stakes are my one and only remaining kidney against his flat.

The bet is I must achieve a 2:1 or higher in my degree.

I am quietly confident.

nice birthday present for you!

ok i have a question (yes i know it's not all about me, but ssh). so my lounge has quite a big bay window and i've cleared enough space to have a mini gym in that area because i am now that obsessive. this is fine for things like the (blue) swissball, weights etc. i am now thinking about adding a punchbag.

this is great for fitness but the problem is, a punchbag is not going to look very attractive. so the question is... if you came round to someone's flat - particularly the guys, as i don't tend to bring strange women home all that frequently - would you find it offputting if there were a punchbag hiding in the window? and if you would, what can i disguise it as?!
( rachelswipe with a fork, Thu 23 Sep 2010, 14:48, Reply)

wouldn't find it offputting at all
depends on what sort of punchbag as to what you can disguise it as.

one of the big hanging ones, or a small springy one?
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 23 Sep 2010, 14:50, Reply)

the hanging ones
frighten me, they talk about putting weights on the feet etc, as if you just happen to have 20kg weights hanging around. the one i have seen is like a stand up leather thing that you just paint the face of whomever has annoyed you that day onto and give it a good smack!
( rachelswipe with a fork, Thu 23 Sep 2010, 14:54, Reply)

don't think anyone would be put off by that
if they are then you can punch them unconscious and have your way with them anyway

As for the punchbag I'd say it was a 'shit hammock' and leave it at that if questioned, or maybe a special sleeping bag that you've turned into a 'feature'.
