You mean that I send another £10 to Ladbroke and the bank will withdraw my overdraft facility?

If I send it via paypal how will they know, though?

If you're constantly paying, say, half your wages into gambling sites, then you'd have problems.

If you used paypal or another account, or just occasional, then probably not. I occasionally use gambling sites, probably 3-4 times a year, from my current account, and my overdraft, mortgage and credit card limits are still intact, with no cause for concern.

Incidentally, as there is a 60% chance, just in pure numbers terms, that the UK won't make the top 10, will you all still speak to me?

There's also a 99% chance that Georgia won't make the final IMO, but it's still going to make me patriotic

I've followed your views and put £20 into UK coming in the top 10. If it doesn't happen I've lost £20. Not the end of the world, and noone is forcing anyone to do it .

What if the UK wins this year as an attempt to stop a Brexit? :rotfl:

Talking of Georgia, I like their national bank building. It looks like they couldn't agree which way the building should face, so chose a compromise solution.

Surely if it fell, the word is JENGA!

The Turkish border (Turkish side is Sarp, Georgian side is Sarpi) building is beautiful too. I've driven through it several times, and on seeing the UK plates/steering wheel on the wrong side, usually get in English 'Welcome to Georgia'.

I'm personally wishing that I was more of an expert on Leicester City, circa August 2015.

Post hoc betting is so much easier than the normal sort.

DQWD: (for newer posters that means, "Don't Quote Will Delete")

Obviously I clicked on you and saw your map of Europe and it struck me once again just how much like a flaccid phallus Scandinavia looks. Once seen it can't be unseen.

I've had a nice day today, just mooching. I dropped the kids off at school and on the way home bought a cheap mobile phone to use as a house phone and got Mrs Generali a Mother's Day prezzie (it's Mother's Day in Aus on Sunday).

We got Netflix a while back and it gets pretty good out of 10 although I'm gutted to lose the soccer which is shown on Foxtel (Sky). As a family we watched Merlin as it's something we can watch with the Generalissimos but strangely they only had the first 4 series, number 5 was missing.

Despite being told that I am not to get Mrs Generali a Mother's Day present when I bought the phone I noticed 25% off DVDs at JB HiFi (like Dixon's but also sells software and films and with better staff) so I bought the 5th series. Mrs Generali reads this occasionally hence the DQWD.

Anyhoo, back home to do a bit of laundry, listen to a really interesting Doctor on ABC Radio and then Doctor Karl on BBC Radio (thanks interwebs). Did you know that if you use a zinc nasal spray you can lose your sense of smell forever???? Made some slightly overcooked cupcakes and cleaned the bathroom.

I like mooching.

I don't think I ever bought my DW anything for Mother's Day. When is WAG's Day?

I don't know if today is when the Welsh Assembly Government are elected, but presumably then

That's really romantic. GDB buying cards and gift for his wife in celebration of the local elections.

We don't have any local elections. Ours were last year.

I can go to the village hall and vote for the Police and Crime Commissioner. It appears that it's up to me to find out any relevant information about the candidiates. The only info I've been subject to is the polling card.
