It all depends how deep the cut is in the shoe, casinos short of cash will have a shallow cut and house rules on a soft 16 also vary. Those are the signs the pro-blackjack players look for There are modified roadmaps for the depth of cut etc, There are hundreds of books written on the subject

He'd never get in the Worshipful Company of Grammar Assessors I also doubt the WCof Management Consultants dates back to anything remotely close to the Middle Ages or even the middle of the last century

Its like being a card counter at Blackjack in Las Vegas Blackjack is one of those games that the odds only very slightly favour the house if everyone sticks to the accepted roadmap You can win at Blackjack, just knowing the basic roadmap you've only overcome small odds. The House is fine with this Card counters have modified roadmaps for the amount of picture cards left in the shoe, these roadmaps swing the odds away from the house considerably The House hates card counters BUT card counting is not illegal nor is it cheating. If the pit boss suspects you're a card counter, your night is over. "Excuse me Sir, No more Blackjack this evening, you are quite welcome to play any of our other games". Of course the card counter just walks out and tries his hand elsewhere, he's interested in the odds being in his favour, none of the other games really are (even Roulette, has a slight edge for the house (0 and 00 effectively) Gambling establishments don't like it up 'em

The reasons this Australian Deal is so important to the UK Govt is that it allows hormone treated meat into the country. That is important to them because, in their eyes, it both paves the way for a US Trade Deal and takes us a step further away from ever rejoining the single market as there is now a divergence of standards. The BBC will tell you that it's important because it's the first trade deal that isn't a rolling over of a previous deal, they haven't elaborated on that point that I'm aware of. What no-one has said is why its important. IIRC UK - Australian Trade was 0.02% of UKs GDP. I would fully expect that we're about to sign a deal that gives us a higher than before trade deficit with Australia. We're giving away access to the UK in order to prevent us being aligned with the EU on standards and absolutely shafting UK Farming Interests in order to make their changes much harder to reverse

Neither do I, I buy new lights and fit them. In fact I bought a new light for the back room downstairs only this Sunday, it required removing the rose and directly wiring to the ceiling. Not owning the house had no bearing on this

We all know the story right now but I did enjoy the video on that page if a Sky Journo Shouting a question at Hancock, "Are you hopeless Mr Hancock" and just to prove how f***ing much of a clueless tit he is Hancock actually answers back (mistake number 1) but his response was "I don't think so" (Yep thats 2) I don't think so was said in a certain way that we all understand but written down.... Mr Hancock when asked if he was hopeless wasn't sure

Some VIlla fans appear to be convinced he's the manager right now

Will running Michael Gove's next campaign to be Tory Leader be that bad?

Because just like Cummings, Hancock probably has just as much dirt on Johnson

There are two solutions to this 1) tell the garage to hand tighten your nuts 2) buy a telescopic wheel brace - £8 from Screwfix

Nah, that Rhubarb Milkshake IPA that I had is hands down THE worst beer I've ever tasted

You pay someone to do it? OMG! Two wires, two holes, screwdriver required and something to stand on. Just remember to turn the electricity off at the fusebox. How much do you get charged for that?

You people that have no clue how to change a plug. What do you do if you buy a new light fitting for the ceiling?

Yes they did get less frequent towards the end of the Presidency but the whole Sean Spicer & Sarah Sanders period was just an exercise in abusing journalists

All come fitted and sealed these days

Its the best tune The Specials almost wrote

I think I said this a few months ago, walked into the only bar in a town near Four Corners (on the Utah side) and we got the classsic... pool ball clicks, the room falls silent and EVERYONE was looking at me and my mate Dave By the end of the night we knew everyone's name and had beaten most of them at pool. They loved us

More acting than a rendition of Hamlet at the Globe in this game When is John Hartson being given his assistance dog?

Strange that she works for the Washington Post who only yesterday posted this on Youtube (no idea why they didn't edit out the first 1hr 50 odd minutes when absolutely nothing happened) So the White House staffer for the WP claims she learned that Biden was at a NATO meeting from a tweet by the Turkish President (thats how that tweets reads,) yet her own paper posted a 25 min presser on Youtube only that day? Seems like she's pissed she didn't get called for a question. Trump rarely did direct questions, he just sent out his Press Secretary to abuse journos on a very regular basis

in yet more news that will not shock anyone with half a brain... FT (Paywalled)
