Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

2 bets on 2 different days won me money. Yesterday, used the last of the free money I had in SKY Bet to put an each way on a horse in the National which won me £4.88, so I put 88p on Leicester to win 2-0 and Vardy to score first goal, at odds of 22/1 and won myself £20.24, was tempted to go for a third one but thought quit while ahead so now deciding what my next bet will be on.

Good for you Mark, Better to quit when your ahead

Indeed as there are plenty of mugs out there who lose their winnings near enough straight away.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thanks nash and den. Ironically, I only did the 88p bet because I am anal about odd amounts of money so thought if I don't win I've at least got an even balance, now I have an odd one again!

Cheers guys - I'm just hoping he'll do well enough to get the final year bursary which will save him £3k. Even then he's still had to pay out an additional £200 'admin fee' just for the privilege of being able to work 4 days per week for nothing...

I'm especially proud of him because I've long felt infant/primary education is a field in which there are far too few men. If it were the other way around I think there'd be demands for a campaign of positive action in favour of the minority but that never seems to happen when it comes to men for some reason.

If he sticks with it I really do think he can go to the top and hopefully do something to put right the dreadful imbalance.

Going down to Cornwall by train tomorrow to see my mother in Sennen and do some domestic tasks for a couple of weeks. The OH will hold the fort at Heero Towers whilst I'm away.

Looks like the weekend will be good weather at least. :)

The first and Last Inn has re-opened. I can't believe that they closed it before Xmas and stayed shut over New Year and Easter. A buddy has suggested some kind of tax issue (scam?) as it opened in the first week of April with a new team.

Apparently they've poached the fish chef from the Gurnard's Head Hotel.:D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

l hope you get down there safely although whether you arrive on time is another matter as trains has been delayed , cancelled and passengers have had to get on the buses provided right throughout the last 4 months in parts of Devon and Cornwall but you might be lucky seeing the weather forecast for this weekend old bean.:D
