  1. Its the one at the front with the navy tracksuit and red and white scarf wrapped around his neck that gets me in stitches.After the first song finishes he squares up ( to nobody) and drops his left and right shoulder as though he's in an episode of britains hardest men/ football factory. He's looking behind at the ring leaders as he doesn't even know the words to these most delightful of " songs" . After each " song" he's giving it the pigeon chest as though he could destroy a poisoned Rottweiler that's been denied its hole for 6 months.
  2. Mate I'm far from over it. Im willing to speak to/ try to help anyone on here in coming to terms with this disease that's so rife. My self exclusions means I can't do roulette/ these horrible machines any longer In my hometown and while I feel great about it I still ask mates to go in to do football bets which usually entail each team to score and I admit I'm very addicted to that bet , so much so that I can't watch any live game without wishing either team doesn't score if I'm not on EACH team to score. However I'm adressing my problem really well and I'm willing to try and help yourself/ anyone else on here through PM or direct means of replying to me . The recent tragedy down Ayrshire way with the boy from Kilwinning really typifies what this gambling illness is all about as I knew a guy who was a close workmate of the boy.
  3. These machines are a living hell to many people out there and the roulette wheel in particular in the bookies is the most addictive form of gambling I've ever known. It drove me to signing self exclusion forms in every bookmakers in my home town and I've honestly never felt better in doing so as these machines are deadly . There are people who are simply spending their entire wages on them and my biggest challenge is when I'm up in Glasgow for example and I see nothing but bookmakers with these machines and the temptation to go in is so strong but I'm managing to do resist the temptation thankfully. That empty feeling when you've put your last pound into them, the feeling of despair in going out to meet your pals for a pint but you no longer can do so as you've put your last penny into the machine, avoiding your pals the next day and lying that you went home with a sore head ( when you actually went home sulking under your bed covers) , the feeling of denial and determination that you will recover your losing bets the next time. I miss none of these feelings and I'm so glad I've managed to stop playing these machines as they simply ruin life's.
