Im so bored!!

serious question?

is this affecting people's incomes?

Yes , but it is factored in . Happens every year , I usually go away in January for that reason , but not this year. Reckon it is here for another week or so . Only money I made today was on the cricket from South Africa , hot there .

Plenty of time left to mess up the book there Kelly :) I'm not involved yet, wouldnt be too keen on England chasing down 230+

And youre bored, try being snowed in with the misses for 4 days with little or no food :|

I was only betting on the periphery markets , Doyler . Only black/green on the overall is on the draw , but plenty of time to trade off . Dont think it will go the distance . Pietersen and Bell gave away their wickets with rank bad shots , otherwise England would be in control . Even stephen at present .

I give SA the edge here

batting next and I doubt there will be much of a lead either way

if England were to get a lead of 50 it would be priceless though

Ya hard to see a draw from here, unless England bat until after lunch followed by Saffers batting too long, cant see it though. Reckon if England reach levels tomorrow could see some huge swings in the market over the few days, Swan and Prior and a new ball could see a good few runs, morning sessions look tough over there though.

Think KP might go well second time, just a case of him getting in, if Strauss goes early though the whole team tends to follow more times than not. Colly looking solid lately too. Hard to call from here really.

I'll try not get involved until I know what England are chasing last dig. Pitch looks awful two paced already.

India v Sri Lanka ODI tomorrow to behind the red button if it takes your fancy, should be a few swings hopefully.

You could be right , Cupwink , but I have a nagging feeling that the Soth Africans are carrying a bit of baggage from their collapse in the last match . Cant call it either way , but maybe thats good if you want to trade.

Traded out there at 5.8 , which looked unlikely early this morning when the draw was 15/1 . Still dont think the match will go the distance though , but you have to take whats on offer sometimes .

No Horse racing or even Greyhounds on for the week!

Greyhounds have not all been called off for the week yet!! HRX inspect today but i think it will be off tonight, and SPK inspect tomorrow for Wednesday's card and then Thursday's card and hopefully at least they will race saturday night with the JJ Casey 1st round heats

Tough time for trainers etc . Rural areas ( where most of greyhounds normally reside ) are unlikely to have been gritted . Treachorous to drive or walk . Dogs presumably confined to kennels ( do greyhounds feet "ball up " in snow ?) .

This time of year it is sometimes better not to venture out rather than travel in hope .

HRX Tuesday---OFF

SPK Wednesday & Thursday---OFF

i agree this is getting depressing now :_|
