Craps. May as well play the pokies or go to that laneway near central station (Sydney) and blow it on two up.

What is your BSL reading, skulls?

Might be better to ask for its range, or the recent HbA1C. A single level isn’t really helpful.

Bouncing between 6.0 and 9.0 based on twice-a-day monitoring over the past 2 weeks (on medication).

Pretty good. Must have been a fair bit higher before if concern was expressed.

Meh... with my dice and some large friends around. Still it is the only game I will play. Wont play poker unless it is a private game and have not done that for a long time. The shaving of odds by Crown on on BlackJack etc is near criminal ... let alone pokies.

Since filth Lloyd Williams day there has been a clear career progression between the govt regulator and Crown. "Rotund Rohan Craigie - come on down."

Htf do you shave the odds on blackjack? Unless you're actually reducing the payout on blackjack.

Different rules around doubling and splitting and 5 cards under etc.

In some houses, there are no stand-offs either ... if you don't beat the house, you lose. Apparently some houses also win if they 'score' no more than 22!

It's a mug's game.

If you're never over 9 you're doing very well indeed.

FFS! Bj used to be the best chance you had in a casino. Farking arseholes. (Rich arseholes obviously). Oh well guess I'll stick with cricket.

There used to be this place in Marseille where it was complimentary if you'd put enough over the tables.

Don't normally watch The Project and don't really give a rat's about brexit, apart from the fact it might be good for beef, but Waleed has just skewered Garage over his EU pension.

Falange is real piece of work.

Poor qunt was clueless. Bitching about how hard life was with four kids in private schools.

WTF is going on over there re Brexit?

Resignations are beginning to pile up

The UK is 1 foot from falling off a cliff due to a non binding consultation with the public. It's absolutely ludicrous.

May is increasingly looking like a dead woman walking.

Time for another referendum?

by horace Thu 15 Nov 2018, 20:34

Completely bizarre set of circumstances. It just shows how venal and destructive the alt-right really is. People like Nigel Falangist should be exiled in some Zeus forsaken spot eg the White House.

Even in the improbable event May's model gets through Parliament there is no guarantee the EU will sign up.

It is remarkable that people simply thought they were voting on kicking Poles out. No-one bothered to tease out to the public what a debacle Brexit would be on all manner of fronts.

Corbyn is just as bad.

The EU has signed up to it, that’s why it’s got to this stage.

What happens if Parliament says no is anyone’s guess really. March off the cliff on a point of principle, scrap the whole idea, or kick the can down the road?
