Dalziel Kane Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 english, English, what's the difference, still recognize the damn country in question. Surnames are generally spelled with a capital letter, but I don't want this turning into some fucking pedantic free for all. Say again, the national stadium in Brazil has lost it's appeal in the last thirty years, that (pointless) international game recently was a testament to it. Maybe next years soccer World Cup tourney will reinvigorate the venue and it can maybe see a return to how some may remember it. Having to shave twice a day (no scrub that, it's not goddamn mandatory) but in order to remain fresh faced, it can be a challenge, and poor sub-standard television stations that put on the same programs and general rubbish week in week out. Technical difficulties, just for good measure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalziel Kane Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Gambling and when you've got no more fucking sense to keep away and resist any goddamn temptation. All I'm effectively doing is losing money and filling some other miserable fuck's pockets at the same time. Gave all that shit up around six or seven years ago after heavy losses but it's starting up again and it's a real nasty addiction. Not as bad as heroin or even smoking, but just as addicitve. Feel genuine empathy with any gamblers and what they may go through at any one time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel genuine empathy with any gamblers and what they may go through at any one time Put on what you can afford to lose Dalziel. If you put on a bet of £5 then who cares if you lose it's only £5. Once you start to bet more than you can afford to lose (i.e. - £50-£100) then you've got a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gethinO Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Know the feeling Dalziel. I've banned myself from all betting websites recently because I've become a bit of a liability. Playing those stupid blackjack computer games (which I know are rigged but for some stupid reason I keep playing them) and I've lost hundrerds latley. Not good. And obviously I hide it from my Gf so I had no other option apart from banning myself. The horrible psychology of gambling really gets to me. If I lose £20, I then have to win that £20 back. I lose another £50 trying to win the £20 I lost back and so on. One big circle in the end. Really trying to stop gambling now and save some money. But as you said, horrible horrible addicition.

Zoo Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 I'd never bet on something I don't have any form of control over. Football odds I have a decent knowledge so I can have an educated guess but fruties and online betting is just a no no for me. They are all clearly rigged and I'm not going to be the mug that everyone laughs at in the pub for spending 23 hours stood at the fruit machine winning 79p.

gethinO Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 (edited) I agree Zoo. I enjoy my weekend football accumulators so I think I'll keep on doing them as and maybe restrict myself to £10 accumulator on Saturdays.

Dalziel Kane Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 I'll be truthful and say I lost between £250 - £300 this day alone through fucking gambling. Ok, won't be living out of a box in the coming future or struggling to make ends meet but it was a substantial amount and I did feel a little bad about it, no scrub that, I felt pretty fucking upset. I don't know the actual sum total, I got too irritated (after the event) to make a full conclusion, but that's about the sum of things. Fruit machine things can actually be profitable but it's always the fucking wrong un's that make a profit. Casinos is where the main damage lies, I don't bet on horses, greyhounds etc. But once again, it's a real bastard of an addiction when it pulls you in, and thought I got away from all that shit once, but it's pulling me back in again, and I got genuine concerns about what may be ahead and even think sometimes about contacting gamblers anonymous but that's for people with real gambling issues and I don't think I've got to that stage again just yet, but will have be damn careful in future visits. Add to this thread, degenerate or 'no mark' kids as some would call them. Loitering around, making the place look untidy, I wish I could show some empathy or understanding to their situation, but can only feel nothing but contempt and 'fuck where you life goes and what you make of it etc'. I don't have much time for some individuals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev627 Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 I saved a dogs life earlier, walking out of Tesco Amesbury into 30 degree heat (86 in old money) to find a dog shut in car barking constantly very clearly in distress. I went straight back in to shop and got announcement put out for owner. When are dog owners going to realise opening car windows does nothing to keep a car cool unless the vehicle is moving. If there had been a loose brick on the floor I would have had no second thoughts about smashing the cars window!

pete0 Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 A £300 mystery deficit on my account and my online bank account is being a nob so cant check my statement until Monday :shaking fist: . Only thing I can think of is council tax, had registered online had to activate the account over the phone, would they have took the council tax out of my account straight away without my authority?

Dalziel Kane Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 When it's so humid you just can't fucking sleep.. Damn this goddamn weather. Earlier today, round about dusk, and I've seen them before, these large moth type things about the size of golf balls flying around and being a general damn nuisance. I managed to get hold of a newspaper and was swatting around like a demon but still couldn't quite repel the horrible fucking things so had no alternative but to move away from the immediate vicinity. Next time I said, I'll take a flamethrower to the horrible bastard things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 (edited) Same here DK, I was sweating just lying in bed. Your avatar is quality by the way. I'm not going to the Subway in Wrexham ever again. I made the same order as I did yesterday and she got the order wrong again. This time mis-hearing 'Jalapenos' for 'Pickles'. The sooner Subway employ staff with more than half a brain-cell I wont be going back. Edited July 14, 2013 by Zoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalziel Kane Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 I hate this fucking weather but at least the weeks are passing by, the fall and winter will be here soon enough damn it but there's this certain "news" publication I really do have an issue with. I won't specify who these miserable individuals are, but just allow me five minutes alone in a room with no windows with these (unprintable), and swear to god, no fuck that, I'm an atheist, but say it now, I'd be on a manslaughter charge or two. Doesn't take much to get angry or irritated this end but there's some things too much to bear in silence or even endure. Probably the worst thing is, This goddamn weather just seems to increase rage or escalate situations. I got to be fucking careful out there, but some things / people / situations just aren't helping, one damn bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cake Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 would they have took the council tax out of my account straight away without my authority? Not without your authority, no. If, however, you gave your bank details over the phone you have given your authority and they can take the first payment no earlier than 14 days after the phone call. It's called a Paperless Direct Debit and will continue to debit on the same date each month unless you cancel it with your bank. If you've given them your bank details over the phone and they've waited 14 days they've done nothing wrong. If the debit has happened within 14 days of setting it up, or it's for a different amount to that discussed in the telephone call they are in breach of the Direct Debit terms and conditions and you can claim the payment back from your bank under the Direct Debit Indemnity. Call your bank and ask them what it's for - you don't have to wait for 'online' to sort it's life out, despite what they say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not fully sure whether it is the council tax or not yet, going to pop down the bank tomorrow. I assume it is the CT though as their (Salford council) system is a shambles. Tried to do it online but you have to call them to activate the account (even though that should have been done their end as the estate agents had sent them a letter) took 5+ phone calls to get to the right person (cut off whilst going through twice, was on hold so long the opening hours closed once as well) they even admitted it was their ends fault why we'd not been sent an info pack/bill.
