Anybody else think the baddie bears a striking resemblance to an older, plumper version of Alien?

Re: A Lesson To Us All - Short Story

Great Vid Komp.

and what a jammy cunt I know how he feels though, 5/6 years ago I was effectively 'all in' on a football game, literally everything I had and a full overdraft chasing losses, it was the last time I'd placed a big bet.

It was Amadorra or whatever they are called v Porto on a Sunday night Football, game, I'd been losing money all weekend, everything I had, with a 800 quid rent bill and 300 owed to my sister, plus everything else that goes with being alive. If they had lost then I would have literally nowhere to go, I wouldnt of even had the busfare to take back me away from Glasgow.

Porto were 1/2 and I had just under 610 left in my oversized student overdraft, back then there was no restrictions on my account with regards to how much I could spend in a single transaction. I couldnt possibly describe the way I felt pushing the buttons to deposit and bet that money now but it was easily the scariest and most intense few minutes I'll probably ever go through. I knew I had already gone over the limit of what I could afford, the money I had wasnt enough to cover what I needed anyway, which is how I sold it to myself, all I could think about was the practicalities of living on the road and what sort of life I could have for myself when it lost (where to eat, how to get to a warmer country where its easier to sleep outside etc)! Seems crazy now thinking about it, with the amount of cash that was involved, it doesnt seem anywhere near as daunting as when it was to me at 19. I wouldve had to drop out of Uni with huge debts (it later happened anyway) which seemed like the end of the world for me at the time.

They went 1-0 down in the first half, Porto that is, again I cant describe how I felt at the time! You can see it all in this video, I had to leave the building and ended up down some alleyway under the M8 in Glasgow crying my eyes out and going a bit mental.

They won the game two one, I got back just after theyd scored the second at around 87 minutes. I swore then that I'd never gamble with 00's ever again, I didnt gamble for a month after that, barely turned the computer on such was my guilt from the night.

I actually have a few times since Mostly with cumulative free bets and last year when I had clear over a grand a month disposable income, so obviously it didnt phase me anywhere near as much. Plus with free bets and proper disposable income I never felt the need to chase, the first 250 I earnt a month was always going to be used for gambling, I only betted value odds too so there was never a situation where I felt like I was really wasting it.

Anyway. I know how the guy in the video feels, I know what it feels liek to lie to people about gambling money and I know exactly what he went through when the fat guy folded. I actually thanked god for teaching me the lesson and giving me my money back! If only I'd really learned eh!

Class Spacecat I was gonna ask you how you felt at 1-0 and you described it quite well to me

I used to back everything i had up untill about a year ago i think. aussie football would get my full giro. What changed in me is that i no longer found myself able to sort out the mess i would leave myself in. I used to busk (i know ) and also sell dvds and cd's etc. I didnt want to do that and because i dont see pals or family i couldnt borrow from them. Gambling like sex has become something i used to do. Well before poker and i do ok at that. Well it pays for itself. im stil a poker noonb and im gonna spend this year learning the art of playing.

I used to get 'never again' moments playing fruit machines Maybe get a jackpot repeater to get nearly my money back and vow never to do t again. sometimes i would last all of 5 minutes before pummling it all back in. terrible days

Re: A Lesson To Us All - Short Story

Back to the story here. I would feel great if my woman told me she spunked it all. I would explain my predicement and ask her if she wants to fcuk off. We could leave town that little bit closer knowing our inadequacies were enough to glue ourselves together. Man i want a bad woman. I need a bad woman

That does sound quite good doesnt it. When I heard her say she'd done herself in with the oil shares I was thinking 'get in there mate, youre not to blame', he decided to be a man and a gambler about it, went back and cleared his enemy out.

Like I said its a great vid.

Re: A Lesson To Us All - Short Story

I just watched pt2 again there spacecat. Not because it was great (which it was) but because i'm working on a new moustache and i was trying to fashion it like mason's.I never have been able too. I liked him being a man about her losing the bucks too. If that was me i would have milked it for something. what i do not know , a blow job, but something. aye i think i need a dirty womean spacecat. It suits me and makes me feel good. a woman of low morals and a pretty face. thats all i need. I need to live for her and surpass myself every day by doing so. A man needs a maid

Re: A Lesson To Us All - Short Story

a dirty women will always fuck you over eventually, unless you get in there first.

i once went out with a girl who used to gamble on darts, £20 a game, usually on the outsider and she'd lose all the time. she would constantly be in debt, lie to everyone (inc me), phone in sick at work and then steal from them to make her wages up we would sit in the pub every night from about 9 till close just watching the tv and talking about how much she hates her workmates, she ended up dumping me to go out with a guy who had the time and will to give her lifts too and from work! she had a pretty face mind and was a laugh most of the time. i was gutted when we broke up, i remember ict were playing livi the week after and it stopped me going to the game, wasnt until i properly resurfaced that i realised what a nutcase she was.

ive only ever been out with nice girls since and id advise that for anybody in the future. fucksake that is of course if you need to go out with anybody at all.

i actually quite liek the seperate beds idea in the video too it was probably her idea but its something that i think us modern types need to bring back, even if women dont like it

spot on spacecat and thats the story of my life sadly. Fcuking over dirty women. Ive lost a few battles but always won the wars. Now i see i have been foolish and it all wasnt important. I just never let them get to me. I was in there first

The darts lady sounds cool spacecat. If i had any memory at all which i dont at the mo i could rustle up a few bad dirty women stories myself...i must have one off hand...errrr nope this i my prob in life i dont rememeber anything bar doing internet things. Gambling women? nah not really. I had one that used to do her child benefit playing penny falls (no lie) she just liked putting the mpney in, the bright lights and arcade music. I wouldnt help the situation at all as i would give her loads of penny falls money and tell her to enjoy it. It was my way of 'snivelling into her affections ' sad really. Ive had a few bingo addicts but they dont count. Usually women i know are bad as they like the vodka and the cock. I would drink their vodka and not give them the cock rater smoking joints and giggling to myself whilst playing the guitar. they wanted something else. I wish i was just a simple man that liked shagging women. I like being in the position to do so but the actual shagging is a pain. Anyhow i aint gonna think about it.Let me think here. 30th April i have to move out. im hoping to get my teeth done then i will just fcuk off. I think a dirty lady has to be my next port of call spacecat. One who's more fcuked up than me and makes me feel sane. sane and protective. shit im gettig all loved up here. I dont need no woman. Thats what other people need.
