Premier punters BF Xmas Dinner tonight .

lol, class.

I don't know about the Christmas dinner, but the gift is very plausible, as I received a bottle of Dom Perignon Vintage 2000. Happy to post a photo of it with anything in the background.White cat, ginger or tabby cat or anything. It came in a large wooden box which was nailed down and had a lot of straw inside. I was genuinely worried,and fleetingly thought I'd upset someone and they's posted me a snake.

I don't attend the dinner, once was enough. Some right oddballs always show up.

I gave my ticket to a 12 year old refugee with a beard.

I gave mine to Scissors

I gave mine to Scissors' imaginary friend.

Do any of you go to the Platinum Members shindig in Monaco. Or would you be too weighed down with cash from your winnings?

Was at the Premium event only 10 of the big players attend the ones i go to

Pulled a cracker with some odd ball and out flew scarp piece of paper with the prize of having a refugee over for xmas day

we have none of that down in monaco - they keep a tight rein down there - very strict on dress code - you even have to wear a tie in bed!!

Sounds a splendid affair...The majority of BF clients enjoyed a wonderful fortnum & mason Hamper. The port was quite outstanding this year.

Great stuff, SDK, thought I was back in 2003 for a minute

what happened in 03

A lot of threads like this about pretendy hampers etc. All a bit of fun though

We don't even get a diary these days

spreadex done gloves until this year i got none

winter gloves ( well magic gloves ) this year none

do the shops still give out diarys ?

Rarely use the shops now but think some still do. Slippy was on about getting his hands on a few a little while ago.

the annual potless betfair losers  bash this year was a rip roaring affair, the desmond tutu sports and social club in  hackney  was chosen  the venue this year,  predictably poorly  attended by the official  1 percent of actual losers  who bet on here , a splendid a la carte  lunch  of "fe,ves eu lard sur du pain grille "  and" nouilles pot" was was eagerly  consumed by the gratefull  1% and several party 7 kegs of bitter and copius amounts of diamond white cider (a big up to betfair towers for providing the free booze) fuelled the  merry participants who regaled each other with tales of FULL BANK AND FREE MONEY ESCAPADES  ,special guest was forum legend BIGMART Who entertained all and sundry with tales of betting derring  and do and generously gave out gifts of  bottles of single malt ,fur lined wellies and brickies trowells for everyone present , the evening ended on a low note when mart on hindsight perhaps unwiseley  threw a wad of tenners into the crowd from the stage and caused a mass punch up on which the police and emergency services were called, resulting in 7 arrests and 9 betfarians hospitalised , apart from that minor hiccup a splendid time had by all and next years event eagerly awaited .
