Has anyone been watching No Offence on Channel 4? It is essentially Shameless in police uniform but there is some cracking dialogue and one-liners in there. Joanna Scanlan is brilliant as the boss of the department. She pretty much steals every scene with her performance.

I have an interview for an admin job next week. I have a few admin type duties in my current job but nothing substantial. Any admin folk out there got any advice about how I can try and bag this? Cheers.

You will definitely need to mention your computer skills, especially on Microsoft Office. In an admin role in a Occ Health department you will most likely be typing up reports from OT's and writing letters. Possibly you will be looking at spreadsheets to interpret data (equipment stock-take)so mention you are shit-hot at Excel and also work out how many words-per-minute you can type, they will probably ask for that. Also state that you are organised, give any examples of you arranging something, you will most likely be asked to arrange meetings, take minutes and prioritise workloads.  

If there was a nuclear explosion and the only two people radiated in the blast were Shannon Moore and Droz (pre D'Lo-ing) and caused a mutation the result would be Sheamus. He looks fucking ridiculous.

Other than that ginger visual nightmare it was a decent Raw, but they could have done with getting Lawler to the announce position quicker. Saxton was floundering a bit by himself and I don't think he put Neville over as much as he could. It would probably have been different if there was someone by his side.

Doesn't he play for West Ham?

I had a good night on Friday night when I headed to my local casino. When I got there I was a tad bit drunk after my works Xmas lunch/afternoon drinking session. I entered the poker tournament which was a £30 + £30 tournament, with a 10,000 starting stack with an option of buying another 10k in chips with a guaranteed pot of £3,000. At the end of the first break I had a stack of 37,000 so I felt comfortable not taking the rebuy, so I was only in for an investment of £35 (£5 reg fee).

After the first break I quickly got up to about 65k in chips, but throughout I got into a bit of a tangle with one of the "local characters." I don't think I helped myself when I said earlier in the tournament to him "just me and you big boy!" The look on his face was a picture. I was playing standard ABC poker until a hand which changed the whole game. I was in late position and no one acted before me. I looked down at 3, 4 both clubs, so I made a minimum raise. Big Boy was on the dealer button and reraised me double what I put in. If I wasn't plastered I probably would have folded but I thought I would take a look at the flop out of interest.

The flop was 2 of clubs, queen of clubs, 3 of spades. I instantly thought I am check shoving here, not only did I have a flush draw and a pair there was a chance of a runner runner straight. I checked and as anticipated Big Boy put a hefty bet, I insta-shoved, he insta-called and turned over pocket aces. so I needed any club, 3 or a 4. The 4 of diamonds hits on the river meaning my two pair busted my aces, he was fucking furious and went off ranting to his mate on the other table while I scooped in a pot of around 130k which was about 25% of chips in play.

By the final table came round I was suffering quite badly as I stopped drinking for 2 hours and the "awake hangover" was starting to kick in. Under the gun I had AQ of hearts so i raised three times the big blind. two short stacks went all in so I was priced in to call. One had pocket 9's the other had AK Diamonds. First card shown on the flop was a queen which held out and knocked the two out. I then had my own pocket Aces busted by J 7 who hit three of a kind jacks which was the poker gods telling me off for being a dick earlier on. We got to the final four and we all had about the same stack and agreed to chop up the remaining prize pool which netted me £570. Not bad considering I had 8 pints before the start of the tournament, I really am beginning to believe I am the Bill Werbeniuk of poker as I seem to cash when I am pissed!

I think they missed a trick with PAC when they didn't decide to call him Y.I Mann

I am not sure if you can still do it but you can withdraw your funds from your Will Hill account from one of their shops. I remember doing it a few years ago as a skint student.

i have been asked to say a few horses to have a flutter on from tomorrows horse racing so here we go

 

 

By who? No one has asked you that, people have asked you how much you are backing on these "tips" of yours. By the looks of it you are C+P'ing a tipping blogger's article. Care to share your knowledge of these horses or American College Sports?

I was thinking it's more like Krang fron TMNT on the left.

King of the Tin Foil Hat Brigade David Icke is the guest on this week's My Sporting Life hosted by the brilliant Danny Kelly. It's on TalkSport on Sunday at 10pm and should be an interesting listen.

So has anyone been to the

I don't think it was that bad, don't get me wrong it wasn't great! I think he was going for the style of American Gospel Preacher, but it didn't quite come off.

I have seen some shite on Facebook over the years, but this is so shit it is beyond words!

Question Time has the potential to be the TV highlight of the year next Thursday. The guest panellists include Piers Morgan and football bad-boy Joey Barton.

My stomach is starting to settle a bit, but still getting the odd large rumble. When I pebble-dashed the porcelain earlier I haven't seen so many shades of brown in one go. So far I have dropped 3 lbs from this morning's weigh in

I have decided to give this a bash today, and I have just necked a pint of ice cold Prune Juice. It's not a particularly pleasant drinking experience, but needs must.

I will give a couple of updates later on how my turdathon is going. Roll on 1pm for the apple juice!

The Cheltenham festival kicks off this afternoon. Is anyone having a flutter?

I have put a 2 quid Yankee on Ruby Walsh's rides. I am quietly confident that Quevega and Hurricane Fly will come in and his other two rides should be in the reckoning.

Nacho Vidal, Dale Dabone, Scott Nails, Mr. Marcus, Mandingo, Jeff Stryker are all porn stars and could easily be wrestlers. Mandingo sounds like Fandango's long lost tag team partner, Jeff Stryker is Matt Stryker's brother and Nacho Vidal is the latest lucha on the scene.

A Micropub has just opened up in Middlesbrough called Dr Phil's Real Ale House, and after popping down on Friday I was really impressed! They had four beers to choose from and of course I had a taste of them all.

The first beer I sampled was Timothy Taylor's - Landlord, which was a decent pale ale with a fruity after taste.

The second ale was my favourite out of the four, Mordue's Radgie Gadgie. A proper strong North East bitter, which tasted like Christmas in a glass.

The third beer was Saltaire Blonde which was a bit more like a non-fizzy Bavarian lager than an ale, it was pleasant enough but not something I will keep eyes open for.

The last beer was very odd. It was called Sonnet 43's Bourbon Milk Stout - It looked like a Guinness, going down the throat it had a similar consistency to milk, and it tasted like an iced mocha frappuccino. I am glad I only got a half as it was very sickly, but yet I am still not sure if I like it or not.

Getting back to the pub itself, I am ecstatic that this place has opened. Before it did the only places you could get a cask ale in the town centre was the three Wetherspoon's dotted about. Dr Phil's is located in a parade of shops in between a tattoo parlour and an Indian takeaway, so the unit is tiny. The place has a capacity of 30 seated and 16 standing and I would say it was close to capacity for the two hours I was in from 6pm on friday night. Since opening three weeks ago they have gone through 20 barrels already which is not bad considering they close at 8pm weekdays and 9pm at weekends,

3/4 winners for me on my Lucky 15, great racing as always from Ruby, makes a profitable start to the Festival.

 

Well played squire - any idea what's going on with the Cross Country? Will they run it later in the week?

Cross country will be on thursday, thats if the frost pisses off. I backed the same horses as Jambo resulting in a 80 quid profit. I might stick with Ruby all week!

The Cheltenham Festival kicks off today, which is a minor miracle considering the freezing conditions that we have had in the last couple of days.

I normally live by one rule at Cheltenham and that is to back either AP McCoy or Ruby Walsh rides all day. I have decided to back Ruby today as he only has 4 rides. Two are red hot favourites, the other two are good each way shouts. I have put a

My sister and my three year old niece went to a local convenience store owned by an Asian family.

When entering said shop my niece piped up saying "Mammy why is that genie sat in the corner?" pointing to an old gentleman wearing a turban.

It's your avatar which is causing the problem. Also I had a malaware warning in the UKFF FPL Week 21 topic. I believe it is Sivy's avatar which is causing the problem.

On a Middlesbrough Football Forum I go on to there is a professional gambler on there who has been giving tips on the gee-gees and he has had quite a successful record so far. On Monday he tipped a horse heavily which came in at 6/1. Today he is recommending to do four each way doubles on four horses;

2:00 Lingfield

Excellent Jem - 5/1

Exceedexpectations - 8/1

6.50 Kempton

Amis Reunis - 12/1

Jonnie Skull - 14/1

All of the odds are with Will Hill. I have done a
