Although not always the most sensible person, I'm lucky in that I've always been able to afford my addictions.;)

Unlike the Oswaldtwistle teenager, who it was reported ran up online gambling debts of nearly twenty thousand pounds, whilst his parents were away for the weekend.:eek:

the recent U S govt. action banning on-line gambling is just more hypocrisy from the Senate , just giving into pressure from States which allow lotterys, Native American tribes who run casinos on 'indian" land (which happens to be the biggest scam ever) and States which allow gambling provided it is offshore to avoid upsetting the rattlesnake dancing religious nutcases (Mississippi, allows casinos on huge pontoon barges attached to the shore by gangplanks) , If the operators of on-line gambling had spent more on lobbyists it wouldn't have been a problem .

Just like the old saying .........We have the best politicians money can buy .

In the UK we bung the polititions and fitba managers but we are still amatuers compared to those in the USA. Mind you we must be close when it comes to hipocracy though. :o
