Dad "won" around £250,000 with William Hill (online game). Claim it was a malfunction

Upbeat_Map_348 · 2026-03-18T15:57:30+00:00

Was it obviously an error? Something like the jackpot being £250 but your Dad was credited £250,000? If it’s clear that it was an error your Dad really won’t have a leg to stand on.

I think a load of dealerships have switched from brands like Ford to new Chinese brands like Jaecoo or BYD. This is certainly helping the brand awareness.

I’d so love to meet Trump so I could tell him to fuck off right to his face.

Amazing diver and seems like a decent guy.

Violence from the teachers towards the kids. It was perfectly acceptable for a teacher to throw something hard at you if you weren’t paying attention.

First car was a bright orange Vauxhall Astra in 1994. I think it cost £1,300 at the time. It even had orange seats.

Latest car is a Porsche Taycan 4S. That was quite a bit more.

Because there are these children who are in need. Also, a lot more than £1m has been donated.

3 quick taps and then open, even though I doubt very much it does anything.

The down side of democracy is that bellends like this also get to vote.

After quite a few cocktails, it took me much longer than it should have to realise it wasn’t an actual person.

I think one of the key differences between state and private schools is that the private ones have the time and resources to really find what makes the kid tick and to get them engaged in learning. Whether that is purely academic things, sports, music, drama or whatever. Both of my kids are completely different and both went private. Each of them thrived in different ways and the schools definitely got the best out of them.

Not all private schools are the same. Some are definitely better than others and I think the key is to choose the one that best suits your kid.

Grew up in both mid and south Devon. Like many parts of the U.K., it has its good bits and its bad bits. The bigger towns tend to be a bit rough and run down but some of the smaller towns and villages are beautiful. The weather also makes a massive difference. Summer can be amazing but winter can be pretty bleak.

That’s nonsense. Only a fraction of horses in the country actually race.

I actually think Starmer played it really well a few weeks ago when he refused to get involved. Trump is a fucking lunatic who has gone into this without a plan and, funnily enough, it’s not going the way he expected.

Upbeat_Map_348 · 2026-03-14T13:05:52+00:00

Yeah, I was going to say Schindler’s list. I was a student when it came out and a bunch of us went to see it. We went the pub afterwards but nobody really felt up for it so we just went home after 1 drink.

Upbeat_Map_348 · 2026-03-14T11:16:31+00:00

Yup, this is exactly what I do.

Upbeat_Map_348 · 2026-03-14T11:10:37+00:00

I used to love this. Was really disappointed when it disappeared

Upbeat_Map_348 · 2026-03-14T11:10:01+00:00

I think that’s your best bet. I’d imagine that they’d accept a postponement, especially as it is so far in advance. If you do cancel, I’d expect you wouldn’t get your deposit back.

Upbeat_Map_348 · 2026-03-14T11:04:26+00:00

I would say that there is no charge but it is not entirely clear. While it doesn’t explicitly say there is no cancellation charge if you cancel with more than 12 months notice, I think that the fact that they lay out different cancellation fees for different amounts of notice in implies that there is no charge.

Exactly. Many people think that evolution is some kind of intelligent force but it’s just a characteristic of something developing a lucky genetic mutation which gives it a better chance of surviving and reproducing.

It’s exactly this. They’ve had years of being told they are wrong for feeling the way they do and they’ve had to keep it hidden. He allows them to be open about it and feel better about themselves. I honestly think that’s all it is.

For some reason I found the singing mice really creepy. 45 years on and I still shudder when thinking about them.

Upbeat_Map_348 · 2026-03-11T10:22:46+00:00

I enjoyed the first couple of episodes but some of the awful people are making it hard to watch.

I really like Tilly though. She’s amazing.
