    Beanie - my OH bought some Dragon voice recognition software a few years ago. Seemed like a good idea at the time but I seem to remember sometimes having to repeat words several times before the stupid computer would understand! And that's without having a strong regional accent. So the software soon found itself gathering dust (might have it in the attic somewhere, should dust it off and ebay it.....)

    Hypno, sounds like you are a bit less fragile now, hope the flake goes down well!

    I've done the laddies one.......not yet looked at betfred but will do so. I need to only do the ones that can fit around work, so the laddies one is ideal :)

    So presumably you still match the qualifier at bf.....or are you mugging it on the basis that it should get refunded if you lose?
