All Bets are ON

Think I was a bit out of my league at the Casino last night, people feeding machines with £20, there's me looking for the 2p slot machine, like the ones that you find in Blackpool.
Drop a 2p in the machine and watch it fall onto the moving sections below, hoping that your coin pushes more coins out.
A plastic cup full of 2p's would be gone in 10 minutes, plus the ones you win. You never leave the machine until your cup is empty.
The 2p Machines have now changed to 10p machines in most Arcades. Do they think we're all rich?



Casinos are mental, cash machines that let you withdraw £1,000 My bank won't even let me withdraw that without at least 10 forms of I.D. Yet feel free to piss away a grand on the roulette table.
I don't have the bottle to bet more than £2 per bet. Unlike the posh kids, using daddies money to bet hundreds.
£30 is the most I've ever won and that was a man of the match bet, thanks Richard Dunne.
The only other thing that I had won was a signed Kelly Brook cutout that lives at the top of my stairs.



Think I'll just stick to my pound bets on things I know a bit about, like football and avoid the other stuff.

Luca Toni - Numero uno

Could this be the best song about a footballer ever? The Luca Toni song.

It's only a game!

Football Manager 2011 turned up at my door last week. The game I keep saying I won't buy again but always do. I've been brought up on it, ever since Championship Manager 1993/94 on the amiga 600. I must of spent hours & hours on that game, sorry I mean days & days!




The only game that has it's own time zone, hours fly by and before you know it, it's 2am!!!
Amazing how just a few numbers & stats can be so addicted.
For football fans, it has it all. Take your team from the conference to the Premier or start at a European Giant and appease the fans.
Search for that magical player. In the past it were players like, Joey Beauchamp, Mark Kerr, Zola Moukoko and more recently Kallstrom and Piatti.
I'm not as sad as some people who claim they put their suit on when they get to a cup final!

For some reason women who aren't into football, just don't get the lads love for the game and they call it a glorified spreadsheet computer game.
Before everyone starts going on, Women can play the game if they choose. After Andy Gray's sexist remark, I thought I better say that.
Even a few marriages have ended because of Football Manager, in fact 35 divorce cases in 2004, due to the game!

FM 2011 is here and I love it!!!
Must dash got to go and retain my Serie A title with Fiorentina.

Have You seen him?

Help needed, one missing Dog & one missing person...




I think the Reward was just a after thought, looking at the writing. "Oh a bright orange pen, let's use that, maybe not, that line on the R looks too bright. let's stick to red pen"
The dog can't be so important if the Reward was just thought of after printing the poster?

Just hope you haven't seen this guy!

Football Love or Football Hate?

Why do I love football so much? Even after it shows no love or respect for me?

My team Oldham Athletic have fallen down the football ladder. If we were playing snakes n ladders, we would have landed on square 98 and sliding down the big snake all the way to square 18.
Between 1989 and 1994 we were in football heaven, in the Premier League for 3 seasons, 2 FA Cup semi finals and one League cup final. Gates of nearly 20,000. Entertaining and attacking football.

The year is 2011, so where are we now? Well... Stuck in the 3rd tier of English League football. A stadium that is falling down & now only has 3 stands. New stadiums plans change more times than David Beckham's hair style. Gates have dropped to around 4,000. Fans deserted us, jumping on band wagon of Man Utd or Man City, (only a stones throw away from our current ground). The product on the field has also dropped with lack of investment.

Last night I was one of the 3,767 fans for Oldham v Southampton. Wish I hadn't gone. We lost 6-0!!! Southampton were brilliant and deserve to be in a higher league but we did not play well. Maybe the worst Oldham game I have ever seen, and I've been going since 1989.

We need a change of luck or I can see my team disappearing in a few years from now!

But, I still can't wait for the next home game! I love my club and will always do no matter what, I'll be a season ticket holder all my life. It's in my blood and it will never go. Ever since my dad took me to my 1st Oldham game all them years ago, Oldham Athletic have been a big part of my life.... I hope always will be.

Support your local team people, they need you! Turn off your Sky Sports, leave that armchair, and go and support your team!
But stick on your hat, scarf and gloves if your going to watch Oldham because it's freezing!!!

End of Days?

BIRDS HAVE FALLEN DEAD OUT OF THE SKY.
Around 500 dead and dying red-winged blackbird fell out of the sky onto a Louisiana town on Monday, just three days after 5,00 Blackbirds fell from the sky in Arkansas.
Where autopsies on 17 of the estimated 5,000 blackbirds that fell on this town show that they died of blunt trauma to their organs.
Their stomachs were empty, which rules out poison and they died in midair, not on impact with the ground according to doctors.




The Red-winged blackbirds that died normally fly in close flocks, which increases the chances of them having a massive midair collision...but with what?

Plus Near Ozark, a town 125 miles from near where the 5,000 birds died, up to 100,000 fish were found dead along the Arkansas River, are they connected?

So what's causing all this,?
-Fireworks scaring them?
Poison? The dead birds & dead fish somehow connected?
-Mother Nature reducing numbers?
-Experiments gone wrong?
-A Cloaked Ufo in the sky?
-Aliens abducting them?
-Or the end of the world?
