Calls 'em up

We woz right. Gave a metre reading - we only owe £43

The person in front of me who ordered a decaf-skinny-latte. You may as well drink hot water if you order drinks like that!

 

 

 

The fact that I am away from home and have limited Interweb access and that I can't annoy my chums on GGJJ as much as I would like.

 

Right! That's it I know what you do now.  You live in Sheffield. My HO is in Sheffield. Our IT dept is in Sheffield. They go around the country (fixing it)  It's you isn't it 

We're annoyed that you're annoyed by annoying modern day tech that promise much but deliver nothing close to the £40 a month you're paying for the pleasure

I'm the 6ft shaven headed, blue eyed adonis which fixes everything tech.

Fawt so! 

A sausage roll in America 

Bit like what we call a tap...the call a fawcet.   Other countries have different languages too  

Don't encourage them Sprout

I'm not, I'm just saying why keep picking on the Americans. We all have our own languages  

I'm not picking on them there Yankie doodle dandies at all

Certainly seems like it at times  Why don't you even it up and pick out another country that calls things differently to us  

Don't encourage me Sprout

I'm just saying even it up 

Them inbred Yorkshire types . . .

 

Sprout made me do it

 

 

I have no words!

I'd shock you if I said yes I did wouldn't I, but we all know those that are reading this thread wouldn't agree  

A very demanding pizza order 

You could imagine that actually happening though Yog's   

 

When I make gingerbread biscuits with my granddaughter, they will be proper non organic gingerbread men. 

Sorry Sprout just pulling your leg a little. It's not me. Which company in Sheffield is it?

LOL! I should've put a smilie after that   will PM you the name 

Front doors that open outwards  - not right is it? 

Is Cowgate Only twinned with Købnhavn like?

Thanks. 

Plasters that don't stick

Ray Winston doing 'is cockerney 'ard man act to get you right mugs to bet-in-play - now! 

 

Who's the daddy?  - Ray's the daddy of his pretty but not very good actress daughter.

 

I don't know what bet-in-play means BTW!

As the game changes so do the odds and you can bet whilst the game is in play

Carnelian is right. Betting online is a mug's game. It is better to strike a wager with your local turf accountant. Online is fraught mit danger particularly when alcohol is involved.

 

I may be the only person contributing to this thread that has never been into a betting shop.

 

 

I've never been inside a betting shop, so you are not alone.

I have a few times to put the Irish lottery on and a few times to meet my brother (his second home)   to borrow some money off him 

I'm old enough to remember when they weren't legal. I can remember my Dad collecting winnings wrapped in newspaper with his Nom de plume written on top. I also had the same nom de plume with "son" added to it, even when it was legal! No betting slips in the early seventies, one just wrote the bet on a scrap of paper with the NDP on the bottom. Then of course the leading firms started buying up the family firms.

Only been in 4 times

 

Three when supporting old guys to go

 

Once for a sudden bet on the BB winner

 

I have no plans to ever return

Never been in one either EC! 

Should be illegal now or at least vastly more prohibited and regulated than now.  New Labour whored themselves for a cut of the gambling industry's ill gotten gains.
