    Thing is, if you're in Amarillo, you are unlikely to be asking if this is the way to Amarillo, as you've already got there.

    [News] Betting William Hill.

    There was a limit of four machines per shop, so in order to get more machines, the bookies just opened more shops. Now these things have finally been dealt with, they are closing all those extra shops down again. Yes its a shame for the staff, but its a bit like stopping all crack cocaine...

    Personal favourites: (1) You don't have a dog and bark yourself. (2) Its the tail wagging the dog. (3) If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck...

    [Misc] Silly Sayings

    The saying IS "cheap at twice the price". The "cheap at half the price" version is a kind of jokey ironic twist on it, meaning that its not cheap at all. In fact I quote: There has been a saying in American English: "Cheap at twice the price." This has traditionally been used to indicate that...

    Currys perhaps? If so, you have my sympathies. - and you wont get a penny out of them. You will however spend many hours being passed from phone queue to phone queue until you give up or your head explodes.

    [Football] Are you watching and enjoying the Women’s World Cup?

    Anyone see the Germany Sweden game? I don't understand the var decision for the offside when it would have otherwise been a penalty. Why did they draw the line from the players upper arm? I thought it had to be a part of the body that could play the ball. They obviously didnt take the lower...

    [Albion] Message from club today...

    It makes things simpler. At the moment you need fan number, password and delivery email all to be correct. Now you will need just email and password and it fits into standard protocols for verifying the email address and resetting forgotten passwords.

    [Finance] Conveyancing fees - Advice please

    It's shocking isn't it. Well done for getting it sorted. It just seems far too easy, and there seems to be no oversight of these crooks.

    Thought it was about a town on the Ouse.

    [Finance] Conveyancing fees - Advice please

    In my life I've had six completions. Three of them have had 'accidental' arithmetic errors on the final completion, always in the solicitors favour. With the large sums of money flying around and the distraction of moving house, its very easy to miss. The errors have always been laughed off...

    [Misc] Parking Eye- Penalty Notice. A Rant.

    I really like that idea. The problem at the moment is that there is no downside for them if they just carpet-bomb as many cars as possible. A percentage will pay up regardless. If there was some onus on them to get it right, it would certainly help.

    [Misc] Parking Eye- Penalty Notice. A Rant.

    You say you have no beef with the surgery - but aren't they employing these hoodlums? If so, they are deserving of your wrath too I reckon.

    [News] Car breakdown support.

    Me too - Same with car insurance. I have a mate who has been insuring the same car (boring VW Passat) with the same company for about 15 years now. Never had an accident - his annual premium is over £800, which he just pays because he can't be bothered to shop around.

    I trod on one of those on Brighton beach when I was 12. It did smart a tad.

    [Albion] Chris Hughton statement

    My guess is that he was 'surprised' because he was given a target to survive and he achieved it. However Tony Bloom, whilst recognising that, also recognised that we'd only survived due to good fortune (i.e..Cardiff losing to Fulham) and interpreted that as the target as having been missed.

    [Albion] Own goals

    Its strange isnt it - and presumably just a question of luck. D + D threw themselves into just as many blocks this season I'm sure and none of them deflected in.

    [Football] Who did the bookies pay out on as City's second goalscorer yesterday?

    It is true, but I think you can use the two angles together to identify the instant of contact and apply it to the goal-line angle. This was the freeze-frame from the tele from the one occasion they did show it. It always amazes me that people can have a lifetime of seeing things their eyes...
