i noticed this morning that Kings Head is a non runner in Great Leighs' 2.25 - La Estrella is now the 1/3 favourite, i went into the bookies at lunch time there and they hav La Estrella at 11/8, and Kings Head at 6/5.

McLeans in Belfast was the bookies, bout 15 mins ago.

The one on Botanic? Never realy liked that bookies... Always full of hinese ones yapping away, the staff weren't very user friendly either, it doesn't hurt to smile ya know!

Clown · January 08, 2009, 01:57:12 PM

bigfrank · January 08, 2009, 01:58:16 PM

Yes the one on botanic niall,lived near by so was the only reason i went to it,didnt like it either cause was always full of smokers and kinda small!

girt_giggler · January 08, 2009, 02:02:12 PM

bookmakers in general seem to employ the most ignorant staff.
constantly complaining, rolling their eyes and sighing if u make a mistake on your docket or make them go out of their way and look up a price for you

it makes it even better taking money of the cnuts!

bigfrank · January 08, 2009, 02:04:59 PM

Aye that would have been the bookies I would use mostly when I was down in Belfast, close to the Holylands and the Hatfield... Liked that bookies, always a lot of pens an all ready for ya, pisses me off when you can't get one. You look like a dick though sitting on the wee stool checking out the wee papers and the early prices.

Clown · January 08, 2009, 02:21:47 PM
