I imagine most of them know how to use an apostrophe, though. So that's one up on you. lolz. Edit: Just noticed, they probably all know the difference between there/their/they're as well. MPs 2 to the good on you, son.

Got it at 5.3 on betfair, although you could get 6.3 just before the race. I am still learning how to "play" their system.

Winner by a neck! Good enough.

The Devalued Prime Minister of a Devalued Government
bungle replied to Johnny Bognor's topic in The Lounge
Codswallop! The government needs to bring forward infrastructure projects. The government then sells these contracts to firms who wish to undertake them (such projects could include building schools or insulating all our hospitals). Firms then take on staff to complete these tasks. They also buy raw materials from other firms who provide them. Because of all the projects, more raw materials are needed, so these firms have to hire more staff to look after this, which is covered by the cost of selling more. All these people are now paying tax which helps government coffers. Now, because we have insulated all our hospitals, they spend less on heating and now the NHS isn't spending as much money. There you go. Economy saved!!! -

1) You have made yourself look a bit silly by saying having more people in employment doesn't help. I don't know how much of an essay to write in response to this! 2) The Tories killed off manufacturing, New Labour have put nails in the coffin, but I'd love to know how all the other parties are responsible? Please inform me. -

While most of the speech was good, and very well delivered, there are two key issues for me: 1) The Tories would have done bugger all differently. 2) When he says you can't "spend your way out of recession" he is wrong. You can't just shut up shop and refuse to spend, that will only make things worse. You need to find ways of getting people to spend what you can afford, and the government needs to bring forward building projects (particularly infrastructure) to give people jobs and build for the future. -

You can't do it in a bookie (as far as I'm aware), you need to do it on a betting exchange such at betfair. When you "lay" a bet you act as the bookie.

Taylor v Barney tonight! Remember, it starts at 6.30pm, not 7.

Waist 40 Leg 33 (I think!). I have managed to squeeze into a 38" waist sometimes now, though, so might be able to buy jeans in Next again soon.

Surely you could tell what it was by looking at the preview, then you wouldn't have to open it. Only themselves to blame, IMO.

You were bound to get one sooner or later!

Considering that if you put £1 on each race he has ridden in this season you would be £25 down I think that is pretty crap advice to be honest.

They should lock the Horse tips thread to stop you giving out such bad advice!!

That only says he was "ever-present" and I believe that means he could have been subbed off? Edit: Apparently he didn't start this game: http://www.soccerbase.com/results3.sd?gameid=371391

2nd, not bad. And that teamed with a It's Like That who won the 2.40 in a e/w double has made some profit for today.

To be fair, teachers are there to tell students what they are doing wrong and how to do it better, although perhaps she shouldn't be so direct in her teaching methods. She only has your GCSE success at heart, though.

+1. I swear it is really easy to avoid these annoying things that people seem to get worked up about.
