Pubs now have bookie price screens installed :)

Sad existence.

Pub to bookies to pub to bookies..........

..to Brothel (if successful in Bookies)  ..if not ..back to Pub.

A non-virtuous cycle of Addictions!

ITS no coincidence that pubs and bookies are usually next door Neighbors, and where there is no bookie close by i have know barmen to be the bookie, no names mentioned of course.

Worrying social betting thing,pubs and bookies win,we all know who loses ,i dont want to see 40inch screens with betting on when trying to relax with a jar ,what next ffs ,pub employing runners

had a pint in a pub in Dublin recently that doesn't have a TV at all. I didn't know that before i went in, but it made for a pleasant change from wall-to-wall SKY.

i'm not a fan of these bookies' price screens in pubs.

End up like the australians with all  under one roof

Yes padlock , I found it strange to be sitting in a restaurant in Margaret River and one of the party nipping back and forward to the TAB counter .  Mind you the same person used to own an hotel which incorporated a TAB shop .

Found the tracks in OZ to be open air betting shops essentially , but they have the weather for that .

Not to be envied imo ,seemed to have a culture of loaning money until payday ,all to throw away on the pokies ot the tab with a few scooners

Traditional to get steamed and do the hoop, these naysayers trying to dismiss the culture

Nobody has mentioned if they have encountered another pub with these big price screens in it?
Possibly there's only a couple in my area or is it nationwide?

all over the place   3 in ennistymon..2 in lahinch  3 in  miltown malbay   id say at least 4 in ennis

there's a bar in dundalk which connects with the bookies a few doors up the street through a door from the rear smoking area. u can have a bet and be back to your pint without having to go out into the street. very handy

Bit surprised with this,they might get a few in the door but you would think they are shooting themselves in the foot ultimately as more often then not less to spend on gatt, i suppose it is "dead" daytime.
I'd be more in line with Freddiek,they are a distraction(tellies) and don't get me started with the a$$holes fecking about with de mobile.

im surprised at a few of the publicans really..

I seen one in wexford main street

Freddiek that bar and bookies owned by same person. It's handy alright with SIS screens in smoking area.

Oz, i thought you said your education was suffiently excellent for us mere mortals to be honoured by your prescence and knowledge, but still it does not prevent you from preying on the weak in order to fulfill your dirty little desires.

Sorry if I make you feel inferior, Pecker, though in your case i would say its a fairly accurate diagnosis.  Certainly more accurate than you Ladbrokes insights

One only frequents the highest quality of Brothel, enthusiastic, talented, great-looking girls having a great time and being highly rewarded.  Though frankly, these days one prefers the more exclusive Sugar Daddy arrangement.

It just shows you up for what you are.

All brass and no knickers.

That sterling education could not gift you moral fibre or backbone.

Chill, Pecker, its only sex after all.  No big deal.

Partay on, Pecker!

The girls are no doubt men dressed up ,Norma prefers the backdoor enterence as we know ,remember his little outburst recently when one of the main forum lads took him to task , his discrition of his sexual behaviour left nothing to the imagination , even Elton would have cringed ....
