I cannot abide people whose life motto is "it's always somebody else's fault".
He is one of those, and possibly the thickest version.

Re: Gambler sues bookies
 

agree completely,if this plonker had won in court,it would have opened the door for every loser. great result........for once.:)

Re: Gambler sues bookies
 

Not as bad as the plonker who tried suing because he slipped on a grape. Mind you it wasn't just any grape, it was an M&S grape :D

That's another victory for common sense, £300,000 for slipping on a grape, especially when you hear how much they are giving our servicemen who have been badly injured fight for our country, this compensation lark has got out of hand, we're becoming more like America every day

Re: Gambler sues bookies
 

The reason for large payments for injuries like that is to hit companies as hard as reasonably possible so they dont keep being negligent. I think £300,000 is still too low of a sum to make the company avoid such things again, and the only other option would be to give the defendants a small percentage and pump the rest of the money into more suitable things, but then thats not going to be accepted by many people :p

Blazey you never seam to amaze me.If and when you come up with a recipe for non-slip grapes-Bannana peels and pigeon crap when wet -:mosher:and boiling water that doesn't scold I'm 100% behind you.

Re: Gambler sues bookies
 

Did you say you were studying law blazey, not surprised then, £300, 000 for slipping on a grape, what a load of rot. Whats to stop some one from throwing a grape on the floor and then slipping on it on purpose, and no doubt getting you to take it to court, for a nice fee of course. the worlds gone made, it want be long before we have ambulance chasers in this country as well:surprise:

Re: Gambler sues bookies
 

yer still fallin for her garbage lol:D:D:D

Re: Gambler sues bookies
 

just as bad as people who smoke and sues cigarrete companies for having cancer

Re: Gambler sues bookies
 

...and the lazy delinquents that are beginning to sue McDonald's for negligence, or in their words, 'making them fat'.

The decrease in the majority of people that have common sense - and responsibility over their own choices/actions - is snowballing towards absurdity.

Re: Gambler sues bookies
 

i wonder if he had a bet on the outcome of the court case? :D

Re: Gambler sues bookies
 

We already have!

Re: Gambler sues bookies
 

oh yeah forgot that one, mind i wonder how many stupid people has sue companies for stupid reasons like this 2

Re: Gambler sues bookies
 

Seriously people need to take responsibility for their own actions.
Nobody forced him to gamble.
And Blazey you cannot avoid accidents,Nobody should get 300,000 pounds for slipping on a grape especially when our soliders get very little in comparison.

Re: Gambler sues bookies
 

Every time I see my neurologist he asks me if I gamble.

Parkinson's disease drugs could trigger pathological gambling

Each time I ask him what odds he'll give me for my answer.:D
