Like me you may have noticed those bus stop adverts for Gala Casinos. You know the ones, where beautiful people have a glamourous time chucking their money away. "Tony Cheung Project Manager by day - Tony 'High Roller' Cheung by night."
Isn't it just gambling? But it's gambling with a hint of glamour. Getting dressed up and paying over the odds for a gin and tonic shouldn't make it any more of a draw than the bookies. Your local Ladbrokes have plenty of bets on offer, just that their typical punter isn't a glamourous 20 something rather a 50+ year old in coke bottle glasses, with beans down his cardigan and his long suffering Missus's housekeeping in his pocket.
"Frank Wilson on Permanent Disability from the Post Office by day - Frank 'You've spent all my hoosekeepin' money, again' Wilson by night.' Maybe if Ladbrokes had a dress code and 'betting etiquette' more lovelies would wander through their doors.
Anyway I've got a tuxedo to pick up before I can do the fixed odds coupon.

You have now replied to my question on the earlier post. Still glad you enjoy our pish.
Why dont you both just get married to each other?
You just can't take two men sharing a special bond can you? We prefer the love that dare not speak it's name in any case.
