I wish I never posted in this thread. Utter waste of time.

I point you to this quote, a further contradiction to your point above:

The more you know, the more you realise you don't know.

Fredo is a disease, an illness, a sickness and a curse.

You wrong because there's no cure for it. Keep up man

At the very least he should be made illegal.

We need action, not words Neil.

Paul.S and MrM are the forces on here. However, I am organising a an Est posters union called FOF (**** Off Fredo) to keep the pressure on until such time as they bow-wow to our demands.

But they've tried before and Fredo's kept having a 'renaissance'. No union will get the better of him, he's too stubborn and too cunning to be ousted from here.

I'd do a deal. Let's try to defy the laws of nature and let's banish this dog and cat hate malarkey and try to be civilised for once.

I bow to your superior maturity oh Neil, I'll bless your each and every post for the remaining days of my life , but let's put this to bed, for the love of god.

This is the most entertaining sustanined arguement I've seen on here since Symphotog/Mattshark Vol 392

For Max and anyone else who is interested I found an article that indicates that some pharmacological treatments might be effective against gambling addiction:

I think gambling is addictive - maybe to me. Moreso these days with the advent on the online sites like betfair where you cannot physically see the money you are handing over. I went through a mad month a few years back and, having won a lot then lost the lot (and then some) looked through the bets I made - a £200 bet on Trotting ffs - I have never even seen the sport on tv. The rush I used to get when I hit refresh and the balance on the screen went up by £1k was incredible. If I physically had to hand over this money I never would have bet in the first place. Never again though - lost about £5k all in all.
