Such amazing people on this forum! @realwhiskers I hope your feeling better! I’ve been in a low place recently too! I’ve been gambling free for 4 years but after finding out how much sensory equipment is (my little lady is disabled and loves lights/bubbles etc) I’ve been tempted to come back and try to win enough but I know in the end I will lose and be worse off! Stay strong and well all get through these tough times!
Hi Thisgirl2019,
Have you tried applying to the roaldahl charity? They can give financial help up to £1000 for eligible families. Might be worth looking at it.
Welcome Josh!
Which Grosvenor in Manchester did you deal at? I often play blackjack in the one near China town as it’s round the corner from my main office so I sometimes nip in if I fancy a quick session haha.
1I actually just realised you said ex-wife… sorry! For some reason I read it as in it was your current wife and you were still together afterwards.
I sincerely apologise (although it is still a little funny…).
Nothing to apologise for mate – as i said we get on ok now and it was my fuck up. Just weird seeing her today and got me thinking of some of the stunts i pulled when i was younger.
1I enjoyed your story a lot, Andy. Gave me a good laugh ?
It wasnt funny at the time mate but can laugh about it now – morale of the story is things always get better. Oh and dont fuck off for Vegas for 3 weeks and try and blag the mrs as they always find out 🙂
1Mmmm not good.15 years ago 9k in one day william hill account. In the end backing horses from teletext doh !. Worst bandit 4k 4 ton Elvis 2 pound a spin. I sat there for 4 days never got jackpot.
Tele-text – those where the days mate. Playing Bamboozal on channel 4. If your text was slow you could cheat with the colors and get 15 out of 15 hahaha
@burders – yeah to be fair we do laugh about it. We get on alright – shes re-married to a lad who is a compete twat but she is happy, we are always civil with each other. Small town up here so always knew we would bump into each other.
I remember putting near on 3k through a Cashino slot on £2 a spin when they first came out. Zorro who posts on here (who knows the bandit) can verify that as he saw me do most of it!
Facebook cost me my second marriage – she got hold of an ex she lost contact with. I often wonder how any relationships its fucked up lol
It was my fault though – apparently im difficult to live with hahaha
1Worst of it was im not even on facebook – it was his account she saw. When i finally got to speak to her she said “explain this” – a picture of me and my mate off our faces on freemont street. I was like errrrrrrr….welllllll. In the end i just gave up haha
2Is that you Andy Boy?
Your hands are huge fella, wouldn’t like a right hander off ya.I could wear that watch as an ankle bracelet. I propose that you and the bandit have a traditional bare fisted boxing match. I will ensure fair play and hold yer wallets for the both of you.
I used to box for Southport ABA when I was younger and then kept it up when I joined the Army. Unfortunately when I was injured and got medically discharged I carried on with the same calorie intake but no training hahahaha
1Happy birthday mate.
One thing you have on your side is that you are only 19 and realise you have a problem. It might sound mad, but I would have liked to have been in that position before I did the damage that I did.
You are in a decent position because you can get a grip of it before it gets really out of hand – you dont want to spend the next few years carrying on gambling because it will come to a point where it gets on top.
Treat it as a very valuable lesson learned at a young age mate.
I remember Claire Sweeney asking if we would open the museum after hours for her and the family. The director Neil MacGregor asked her who she was and she looked really shocked. When she said she was a famous actress he just laughed and said don’t let her in after closing. It made my day as I cant stand her
Yes mate but dropped 6 stone since then!!! I am 6 2 but was weighing in at 23 stone
I used to work for the British Museum so met quite a few to be fair:
Prince Charles and the Duke of Edinburgh. A few different actors and actresses
The last job i did there was the Spectre (James Bond) after party which was mint plus Rachel Weisz looked fit
1. go to control panel and open “clock,language and region”
2. there’ll be a pop-up then choose “keyboard ad languages” tab
3. then choose a default language as
English (UK) instead of some other formats…
if it has more than 1 format, remove other formats
Done… -
