    rank closed three casinos last quarter and revenue went up 5%

    Did you read what Bill just put up at all, son? 50 per cent at the top end. Your forty is the second worst number on the page. And whatever the number is, the fella it lands on is different. 40% lands on a company. The 20% on my category C lands on me, and if it moves I've the choice of taking...

    rank closed three casinos last quarter and revenue went up 5%

    Ah here. Everyone reads machine games duty and thinks casinos. It's the tax on the fruit machines, lads. I've two in the lounge and one in the back bar. Category C, which puts me on the 20% band same as half the pubs in the country. My accountant rang me about it before I'd seen a word of it...

    my fave hop shut friday. been there since before i was born

    thats the whole industry behind it though isnt it. trainers, stable lads, the breeding end of it, the courses themselves. tax the bets too hard and the prize money goes and then the whole lot unravels not saying its fair. saying theres a reason thats not just the duke

    arsenal vs psg - who are you backing and what are you putting on it

    yeah heard it was a UEFA decision. something about improving the fan experience in the city after the match. practically means half of england is going to be watching it from a work computer on a friday afternoon

    arsenal vs psg - who are you backing and what are you putting on it

    half the internet will be doing the same. this final has a different feeling to it. something about the underdog thing even though arsenal have been the best team in the tournament by record

    arsenal vs psg - who are you backing and what are you putting on it

    been talking about nothing else at the pub all week. lads are split but most are backing arsenal out of pure sentiment. 22 years without a league and now this. if they do the double this is going into the history books properly backed them at 2.15 last week before the odds tightened. small...
