Cardinal Richelieu Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 When they're showing horse-racing on the telly (you can see the kind of pubs I frequent), why do they show odds of 10-3 advertised as 100-30 Bar. And what does the Bar even mean? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what does the Bar even mean? A/ more likely to stick £30 on a horse as opposed to £3 so it makes sense. Plus 'Burlington Bertie' rhymes. B/ 'Bar' as in 'Bar those already mentioned' whether it is referring to all bar the favourite or all bar those quoted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see what you're saying Bing, but why not advertise all odds so punters fire more money on? i.e. instead of 9-1, make it 90-10? And wtf is Burlington Bertie? So many questions 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinkerbelle Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 You'll give the game up, Rico. We silently move in, building by building, then one morning they wake up and live in the East, East End of Glasgow and tooled up groups of GCC storm troopers are "disappearing" any c**t silly enough to ask for salt and sauce and say "eh" after every sentence. That's all a joke by the way, I know how fucking touchy folk on here get about this. Eh, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Capsule Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Hi guys, thought I'd post this in this thread and ask for some advice here. Maybe not a quick question, but here goes. I'm looking to get back into playing football as I've been told to by my doctor to get lots of exercise. I'm not particularly unhealthy (I'm pretty skinny), but I need to get my heart high burst work outs as it's quite weak. I'm 28, and have been training in the gym to get fitter and in shape and I'm basically looking for a Saturday/Sunday league team to join in Glasgow, ideally in the Queens Park/southside area. I'm not very good as I haven't played in ages, so I would be there to make up numbers I suppose. (Maybe do some 5 a sides with the guys on this forum after the World Cup first.) Does anyone know where I could go - perhaps on this forum - to register interest, or if anyone is in a team that could help me out? I suppose it'll help me meet people too. Thanks in advance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardinal Richelieu Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 (edited) Booked a ticket for me and my mate for the Eurostar. His real name is Roland, but everyone calls him Roly. Of course, like a total doofus, I stuck down his nickname instead of his real name... although his surname is correct. When you're booking, they don't ask you for any passport details, d/o/b etc. However, it says on their site that names cannot be changed on a booking under any circumstances. So what are the chances of us (i.e. him) getting away with it do you think? Edited July 2, 2014 by Cardinal Richelieu 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get on to the beer thread and Monster will no doubt give you the answer. Aldi in Prestwick had a decent selection the last time I was in, with quite a few German, Belgian and even a Luxembourg beer. I'd try Lidl too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, I've got a wee list of some decent ones but can't really be bothered ordering online unless I have to. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can stop panicking everyone... phoned them up and pleaded stupidity, and the lovely French man said it would be okay to use the ticket anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
