I had Norway, Slovakia, Poland & Lithuania on to return £1600 from £5. For some insane reason all of those teams were odds against v Northern Ireland, Israel, Bosnia & Albania respectively, including Lithuania being 12/1 which is what shot the odds up so significantly. Anyway about an hour in I was only waiting on a goal from Poland and was being offered about £150, which would have been a nice return from £5, but still, with only needing one goal for such a significantly bigger return I waited. The Poland goal came and from then I spent as much time watching the cash out increase as I did watching the Scotland game. I'd told myself I would wait until it hit £1000 and take it - £600 is obviously a lot to write off but you can't knock getting so much back off a £5 bet. My nerves eventually broke at about £950 and I took it, with everyone other than Norway leading by only one goal inside the last 10 minutes. Less than five minutes after I cashed out Israel equalised. I'd only ever use it when the bet is actually coming in. If you're only one goal away from a massive leap in return from a small stake I don't see why you wouldn't wait. It's different if you've got £20 on which is a significant stake to write off and you'd be getting three figures back with the early cash out anyway, but for the sake of a fiver bet I'd always wait with one goal in it. Shut up. I was waiting for the magic £3000 marker. On 07/09/2020 at 21:52, welshbairn said: Fucking plum brandy swilling c***s. Let in a 91st minute goal for £4000 from a fiver. Should have cashed in at just under £3000 but wtf. Edited December 27, 2020 by welshbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clockwork Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Auld folk in my family preemptively moaning about not receiving a card saying thanks for gifts from grandchildren, nephews and nieces. Why does the older generation put so much value in receiving a wholly un-spontaneous message of thanks, written under duress with their parents breathing down their necks? This is very true, but I hate the thought that it’s me who is then a bad parent if my kids don’t show the good manners to respond, with a thank you to their Gran or Aunties. They’re all well into their 20’s now, but I still feel the need to remind them to say thank you. It’s mental. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteRoseKillie Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 When you have put the washing on only to find one of the kids has dumped a pair of socks in the corner of a room. Idiots.I'm not into white goods as such, but the presence of an "add item" button on our latest washing machine makes it one of my favourites. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine the machine would have to empty before an odd item could be added. Otherwise you'll get your feet and the floor washed as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
