Some Sundays when I'm at home I put a few 50p bets on, just for shits and giggles, including a monster accumulater, where I pick what looks like a 'guaranteed' win from a number of the European leagues. Yesterday was 20 teams and unusually it fared better than normal. My 50p stake, should all teams be victorious would have returned £80. By about game 15 I was offered a cash out of £50 briefly but thought I'd let it ride, it was a total punt after all.

The 19th side won and the 20th side, Maccabi Tel Aviv (1/5 to win) were 1-0 up at half time. I decided that I wasn't going to take the risk and would cash out, I figured I'd get around £65-70 or so. But wouldn't you know, Bet365 decided not to bother offering any cash out for whatever reason. Tel Aviv's opponents equalised on 65 minutes and the game finished a draw. Pfffft

Microsoft taking liberties after I granted them some limited permissions on my computer some months back.

Today MS decided I'd want sharepoint on my login items and wanted to add things to my background services. Fuck you, you untrustworthy cunts, all permissons revoked.

3 single JD and cokes in the pub. £19.20

I think it was about £5 for the coke across the three. Off the tap too, not bottles.

Which made me wonder how much a pint of coke is... You can see where I'm going ..

Another thing I've just remembered about my visit to Swindon. What's with all the mattresses dumped around the place? I must have counted at least 6, including what looked like a pretty good one on the pavement between the Glue Pot and the CG

The final round of the MotoGP season is due to be in Valencia in a couple of weeks time.
One of the title contenders has come out publicly & said he won’t ride there even if it costs him the title.

Apparently, the Welsh government are going to have dog free spaces because they seem to think not having them is somehow racist.

WTF
