I was a little upset,on nottingham thread I wrote a large story, and the thread went off line, I was cursing when I found out. :grimacing: :grimacing: :grimacing: they said they was doing maintainance, :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: sucker and suckertash. :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

Ah! we’ve found the cause of the breakdown on the thread lads,it was Norm putting one of his large or “tall” stories on and it was that “far fetched” even the main computer at TN didn’t believe it and it went into shutdown mode I reckon !! Anon1.

hiya,
Lucky Norman if you fell off Ladbrokes roof you would land on a discarded winning ticket
all I get is abuse from my “Old Woman” for wasting time and money in the bookies.

It must be a lorry driver pastime.My old man used to study the horses and lay bets on.Used to hear when he won,didn’t hear much about the losers.He was a lorry driver for over 40 years and bet on the horses longer than that. :laughing:
Cheers Dave.

Dave he was a learner at it, :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile: I have been picking horses out since I was 7 years old, my dad had a winner when I was born,It was called Black Norman, so hence he called me norman, :astonished: :astonished: :astonished: :cry: :cry: :cry: I remember a jewish bookie called joe, used to call at the restaurant we lived over, I asked him to put 2/6p ew on Nickle Coin, and asked him for a price, he said 33/1, I gave him 5 shillings, joe asked my mum if it was ok, she said he earnt the money, but don’t be surprise if he wins, Yashie the cyprian cook said I was have a £5 ew, if Norman puts his money on its good enough for me, he slayed me at cards, yes the other four said yes he skint us when he took over Yashie’s hand when customers came in, we will have the same! :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile: It won the Grand National, and all the winners gave me a tenner, I gave it to my mother to pay off the rent arrears and get her a new dress, for my dad had just died and it left my mother in a mess, for she had ulcers in the stomach and was in hospital, the smile on her face was good enough for me, :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

My Dad wasn’t a learner at backing horses Norm,his Grandfather was a gambler,horses cards you name it he would gamble on anything so I have heard from other family members.My old man didn’t gamble on cards,but bet on horses most of his life up until he died about 16 years ago.
Cheers Dave.
