I understand it very well if it comes to something I am passionate about. But if I am not so passionate about something that other people are getting all crazy about----THAT definitely scares me. <br /><br />Have fun, Nick!

It probably does come on British television, but probably on channel 500-&-something, satellite-only...<br /><br />... after all, if it's good enough for the Queen of England ~ she was down there like a shot last time she was in America ~ then it's good enough for me. If I knew anything about any of the runners by the way do you know I could place a bet at the shop round the corner... is it true they don't have betting shops in America? Lovely places they are. I remember when they were debating proposals for a series of UK super-casinos some years ago ... these out of touch MPs yabbering on about how someone could walk up to the roulette table and drop a month's wages and who could stop them? <br /><br />What these well meaning idiots did not realize is that in every betting shop the length of this fair island... and there are 10s of 1000s of them ~ I have THREE within 3 minutes' walk ~ anyone can drop the same month's wages straight into the roulette MACHINE... which eats up so many £1000s per day that the lady who works there has to empty it several times, it takes so much cash that an unemptied machine would be a security risk. I met her on the bus once and got talking and she said "where these people get the £400, £500 to feed that machine I have no idea"... "but it's their entire week's wages" I said and she nodded sadly.Gledwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09308172310486574510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12709723.post-58150957500271633872010-04-28T19:27:59.547-04:002010-04-28T19:27:59.547-04:00This is a good essay.
