NEW QUESTION:
Which musical artist's first band was called Edward Bear? |
|
By:
ZZ top
|
|
By:
Ted Nugent
|
|
By:
Nope.
Just to clarify, this is not the band of the same name from Canada which disbanded in 1974. (As far as I know, they had no connection with Ted Nugent or ZZ Top.) The band in question was originally called Edward Bear, then renamed Edwin Bear and later Arms and Legs. |

Joe Jackson

Correct! WD Alun.

By:
In fairness, having spent most of the 80s in the Pompey area (where Jackson was regarded as a 'local hero') that question was a bit of a penalty-kick.

Here are his betting commandments, still relevant today: Seek where thou wilt for winners, but bet only when thou seest value; deliver thyself from the temptation to bet in every race. Put not thy faith in luck, nor in the law of averages, nor thy trust in staking systems, for these are delusions. Let thy stake be related to the depth of thy pocket and to what thou regardest as the true chance of the horse; that which hath the greater chance deserveth the greater stake. Thou shalt not bet eachway in big fields, unless thou art well satisfied as to the value of the place bet. Bet with the Book or Tote according to thy judgement: thus shalt thou endeavour to get the best of both worlds. Thou shalt not bet pre-post except upon horses that are known to be definite runners. Double and Treble if thou must; but bet not upon objections, for thou hast not the evidence and the stewards know not what they do. Let thy betting be informed by wisdom and diligence, and tempered by patience and caution, and leavened but a little with boldness. Let thy bets be within thy means: he that would make his fortune in a week loseth his ducats in a day Not sure what happened to number ten but he did emphasise the importance of self-control and resisting the temptation to chase losses. |

I think I've remembered the tenth commandment. Is it something along the lines of:
"Beware the man who tries to sell thou a system. If thou has a winning system, preserve to thyself." |

thank you. My father loved his knowledge and wisdom
