Anybody got a price on Slot to be next premier league manager sacked? Can’t be a huge price but nailed on?

@CairnBet @MusselburghRace @RealJohnNolan Not sure if you read these @aitchtb for bed time reading. But I’ll save a lot of the hassle. Andy picked wrong. The end.

Betting blog for @MusselburghRace up from Saturday. A couple of cracking debuts for the team, @Siox87 relegated to 2nd oldest on show, we make Taylor Swift gags nobody gets and great to meet @RealJohnNolan so we had to dig out the 10000 Maniacs headline andystallard1967.wixsite.com/cairnbet/post/…

@CairnBet @aitchtb @racingoncourse @MusselburghRace Using that blather, you’ve been around them students too much 😂

@aitchtb @racingoncourse @MusselburghRace Younger than @Siox87 according to ChatGPT 😁

Recovery mission today at @MusselburghRace Double blog tonight where we’ll also report whether @racingoncourse embraced his warm, fuzzy side and hugged a student. See you there.

Massive for Leeds in their cup final. A depleted United were brilliant, add half of the missing brigade it’s a no contest. The problem with this United is it’s the hope that kills you.

@Stebiggs @WHATSFORDlNNER You’ve never been to ghassans my friend!

@Siox87 @WHATSFORDlNNER What do you know about food…

Would you add cheese to this? 🤔

@Stebiggs @WHATSFORDlNNER Slap a load of cheese in there with 2 sticks of garlic bread. Perfection.

@WHATSFORDlNNER God no that looks perfect

@aitchtb @CairnBet @marktaylor584 @Stephenh61 @AKBets @Dan1clark @SBCinfo @Nickthebat @Greg_Wood_ @MusselburghRace @Stebiggs No but he won’t be out of bed by pitch in time….. pressure on tomorrow Henry and you’ve added to it now! Can’t sleep now with worry might as well join the party and bring new year in!

Account closures and restrictions keep shutting out the very people who support racing. As @Greg_Wood_ highlights, a minimum bet rule would give punters a fair chance to get on and keep the market healthy. Long overdue to consider it. theguardian.com/sport/2025/dec…

@CairnBet @aitchtb @marktaylor584 @Stephenh61 @AKBets @Dan1clark @SBCinfo @Nickthebat @Greg_Wood_ @MusselburghRace You’ll have a medical emergency when I pick wrong tomorrow!

@aitchtb @marktaylor584 @Stephenh61 @AKBets @Dan1clark @SBCinfo @Nickthebat @Greg_Wood_ @MusselburghRace @Siox87 Peak flow was off the charts this morning. Sadly off the bottom of the chart. On the plus side I missed "medical emergency" banding by 4%...

@aitchtb @CairnBet @marktaylor584 @Stephenh61 @AKBets @Dan1clark @SBCinfo @Nickthebat @Greg_Wood_ @MusselburghRace You know it!!! Got my pants on outside of my trousers. Mainly because I left my belt in Yorkshire…… but also because I’m like spiderpig.

@Tungsten_Tales I was very thankful. Backing Cullen at 6/4 felt a little like robbery, but the turkey needed paying for……

🗣️ Joe Cullen argues with Sky Sports commentator Rod Studd mid-interview about being made the underdog against Bradley Brooks. Cullen stormed out of his post-match press conference 12 months ago after defeating Wessel Nijman and was unhappy to be made underdog again this year 😬 #Darts

@CairnBet @aitchtb @Stebiggs I’m thinking of your waistline!

@Siox87 @aitchtb @Stebiggs Still waiting for my mince pie…

@CairnBet @Stebiggs @aitchtb You bought back in at Kelso? 😊 or just got it on the tele with the joint set up in the garden? 😂

@Siox87 @Stebiggs @aitchtb Training begins today. We never sleep in this job 😁 Though the real test is Ascot week and sausage purchasing- we’ll know for sure then.

@CairnBet @Stebiggs @aitchtb He has to pass his initiation first.

@Siox87 @Stebiggs @aitchtb Only until 19 December.

Suppose that once a week, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to £100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this: The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing. The fifth would pay £1. The sixth would pay £3. The seventh would pay £7. The eighth would pay £12. The ninth would pay £18. And the tenth man (the richest) would pay £59.　 So, that’s what they decided to do. The ten men drank in the bar every week and seemed quite happy with the arrangement until, one day, the owner caused them a little problem. “Since you are all such good customers,” he said, “I’m going to reduce the cost of your weekly beer by £20.” Drinks for the ten men would now cost just £80. The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes. So the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free but what about the other six men? The paying customers? How could they divide the £20 windfall so that everyone would get his fair share? They realized that £20 divided by six is £3.33, but if they subtracted that from everybody’s share then not only would the first four men still be drinking for free but the fifth and sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer.　 So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fairer to reduce each man’s bill by a higher percentage. They decided to follow the principle of the tax system they had been using and he proceeded to work out the amounts he suggested that each should now pay. And so, the fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (a 100% saving). The sixth man now paid £2 instead of £3 (a 33% saving). The seventh man now paid £5 instead of £7 (a 28% saving). The eighth man now paid £9 instead of £12 (a 25% saving). The ninth man now paid £14 instead of £18 (a 22% saving). And the tenth man now paid £49 instead of £59 (a 16% saving).　 Each of the last six was better off than before with the first four continuing to drink for free.　 But, once outside the bar, the men began to compare their savings. “I only got £1 out of the £20 saving,” declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man, “but he got £10!“　 “Yeah, that’s right,” exclaimed the fifth man. “I only saved a £1 too. It’s unfair that he got ten times more benefit than me!”　 “That’s true!” shouted the seventh man. “Why should he get £10 back, when I only got £2? The wealthy get all the breaks!”　 “Wait a minute,” yelled the first four men in unison, “we didn’t get anything at all. This new tax system exploits the poor!” The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.　 The next week the tenth man didn’t show up for drinks, so the nine sat down and had their beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important – they didn’t have enough money between all of them to pay for even half of the bill!　 And that’s how it works. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy and they just might not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas, where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.　 For those who understand, no explanation is needed. For those who do not understand, no explanation is possible.

What a shower of shite politics is. Over privileged toffs. If they all got on with running the country rather than stood slagging each other off they would have a chance. Like the scene from Ali G. 2 words. “Keep it real” don’t be a spanner it ain’t a word. Init.

@aitchtb What a hunk of a man!
