    So, tomorrow, for the first time in my adult life, I am going into a betting shop.
    How scary.
    So I play the slots - and then I have to put on a bet. Help! Any suggestions about what I should bet on.
    But I have to say, this ms has taken me to some much stranger places
    arghhh!!!

    I usually put a bet on the favourite of the next race. Favourite's win around a thrid of all races so if you do these shops enough you should get a couple of winners now and then. Also, watching the race kills more time in shop and stops you from standing out.

    Does that mean you went in when you were a child?

    And aren't you meant to be a regular to accept those jobs? Or have they changed the rules since the fees were nearly halved?

    I don't think I've done anything for RE since they were bought out by the Americans. They were !!!! before, but it sounds like they've entered Retail Active territory, and expect people to spend their time and money completing assignments and writing top notch reports for the price of a tube of Pringles.

    Balls to that, and balls to them as well. Pish taking leeches.

    The job you will be doing was paid at over twice the fee a few moonths back. You would be doing both yourself and the rest of the community a favour by dumping it and letting the money grabbing !!!!! at MF find another mug to take it on.

    Thats a sure fire winner for you.;)
  • RE/MF used to reimburse for you to take someone with you on restaurant visits, they never seem to do this now, always just stating you can take someone but they won't pay, ugh, gee thanks! More often than not I struggle these days to actually fit what they want me to purchase within the reimbursement amount allocated and usually go over grrr!
