The inside track for those who need to know
The Big Match.
Well England are doing quite well against Australia. Rain seems to be helping Australia, and I guess the draw is the possibibilty.
The Big Match is though ex-Reading v ex-Arsenal at RTFC, Scours Lane, Tilehurst, Reading. Kick off 2.30pm today. Admission 6 pounds for adults. All proceeds going to a cancer charity. There is another charity game kicking off at 10.30am. Admission is free but donations accepted. The bar will will be open all day. I would guess from about 10am, and I suspect the gates will open about the same. Give the club a ring if you want more details.
I hope to get there about 2.30pm.and depart about 5pm.
I have been in London most of the week. I would normally add this sort of detail to my own blog http://john2e.typepad.com/
But at the moment I am having trouble updating my own blog, so I will stick it here for now. The main reason for this is I am having one of my weekly mid-life crises. Funny enough I am quite enjoying it, but it is driving my poor lovely beautifual wife quite nuts.
OTOH it has some advavantages. We have a flat in London, that we normally rent out. It needs a little attention. Decorating. Carpets replacing. Some new tiles in the bathroom. Little jobs like internet access and light bulbs replacing. I now have internet. a computer that works, and light bulbs have been replaced. One keeps flashing driving me nuts. I will fix it, before I depart back to Reading.
We are not going to rent the flat out for the next couple of months. My wife spends more time in London these days My intention is to set it up more like an office so that Mrs. Gambler can use it as a London base. Radio and Printer ordered. This flat which is quite flash. "two bed in Fulham". Posh river view will also become the "London Headquarters" of the "The Sports Exchange". Gordon was down Thursday and he was suitably impressed. My last tenant. Mister Earl was a complete gentleman. He left the flat in a perfect condition. A previous tenant. No names mentioned at this point did not. In addition to leaving the flat in a mess, he owes me 10K rent. He thinks I have forgotten. I have not. It is just a matter of time. It turns out he owes a lot of people a lot of money. I would not be surprised if we were talking millions. Possibly a serial con-man. Thinks I have forgotten but I have not. Fulham will become the base for the final assault. I am afraid my estate agents B and R may get a bit of flak as well. Could turn out to be an interesting business oppurtunity. John T estate agents to the fine and loaded. We shall see what happens. My ex-tenant, not Mr. Earl I should add, will end up going to prison. If this does not happen other options may have to be considered. Should be fun. so you see it has all been happening. Why is it when I wander round my estate in Fulham, I get a little feeling that people are a little bit apprehensive of me. I tell you why it is. You get to 52, and you realise there are 1 or 2 people out there that are quite happy to rip you off. More than 99% of people are brilliant. Friends, family, internet buddies, but the 1 or 2 need telling off. and their debts need paying back. The advantage of being reasonably wealthy is that this will be not difficult to organise, and actually will be quite fun.
Apologies for not talking about sport/gambling but me and Mrs. Gambler have some serious stuff to sort out, and then I can get on with setting up this new "Betting Exchange", taking on "BETFAIR, and turning RTFC into one of the top teams in the country.
Bye for now. have a good Sunday, and a great week.

Blimey, Richard, GET WRITING!! I know you do anyway, but really spread your wings here, please, lots of room. And people really read it, the stats show, so your're not talking to yourself.
We've got a great crowd of potential members in the wings, just deciding whether to streamline our technology first, its quite difficult to edit several 'strings' at the same time (cricket, footie, horses etc) and keep the current stuff in front of everyone.
Really glad you're joining in!
