@sbc_josh @Tombrownlee Got to remember it is humans actively looking to knock people here. Behind every decision is some virgin taking pride in causing the punter untold grief
@sbc_josh @Tombrownlee Ibas will side with the bookie in generally 99.9% of the cases. Some of the examples are insane. A couple of my mates have taken them to small claims courts and won each case, however it is such an arduous process it puts anyone off ever bothering. They are all utter scum
Rugbys class issue is the same as societal classism. Hoorays look out for hoorays. They love to look down on everyone else. I used to love nothing more than going to a massive public school and smashing them into next week.
This type of play-acting brings shame on football. Once upon a time, a player who did this would be roundly condemned. Now everyone thinks it's just 'part of the game'. The authorities need to start issuing lengthy bans to players who do this.
Just before the start of the 544-mile Sydney to Melbourne Ultramarathon in 1983, one particular runner caught the attention of the Australian media: a 61-year-old potato farmer named Cliff Young.
He had shown up before the race wearing overalls and work boots, telling journalists that he had trained in his large rubber boots and had spent much of his childhood chasing after sheep, sometimes for days without rest.
Soon after the race began, Cliff Young fell behind the other runners and seemed on track to finish dead last.
But after getting just two hours of sleep the first night, Young got back up and started running — and didn't stop.
While the other runners stopped each night to sleep, Young kept moving continuously at his slow pace for five days straight. "I'm just an old tortoise," he said. "I have to keep going to stay in front."
In the end, Young won the race in record time, smashing the previous mark by two whole days and leaving the entire world stunned.
In 1972, while on vacation, Stefano Mariottini, an engineer from Rome, snorkeling off the coast of Monasterace near Riace, noticed a human hand sticking out of the sand. Deciding that it was a corpse, he called the police.
From the bottom of the Ionian Sea, two statues of "Warriors from Riace" were raised - ancient Greek bronze statues of the 5th century BC.
I don't tend to comment on specific instances of operator conduct but am making a rare exception. 🧵
In January a guy opens an account with a regulated online casino operator. He deposits £1,500 with no source of funds checks and immediately starts playing a live casino game..
The RMS Queen Elizabeth pulling into New York with servicemen returning home after the end of World War 2, 1945.
She could carry 15,000 people at a time, including 900 crew members.
The trip from The British Isles to the east coast of the United States usually took 5 to 7 days. During her service in World War 2, the RMS Queen Elizabeth transported more than 750,000 troops and sailed a total of 500,000 miles (800,000 km).
@JasonRyan22@Ad_Iudicium_ Yeah but they just knock anyway so they don’t get stung properly.
Unfortunately our industry is full of absolute scum preying off those who cannot possibly ever get close to winning or even enjoying themselves. I’d happily let the game stop but until it’s banned worldwide I will
