it's comforting to know that not all English-speaking moronic idiots are from the US.

One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them

I've heard about this programme. Didn't realise they'd found someone stupid enough to go through with it :lol:

Sky have been making a few of these bizarre programmes of late. There was one called "There's something about Miriam", in which a bunch of guys are encouraged to get to know a beautiful woman, we see them fondling and kissing each other and then "Miriam" is revealed to be a pre-op transexual.

Oh, the hilarity :roll:

Makes evo69's last post all the funnier....

I don't admire his math. It is possible neither red nor black will win.
A man has been charged after allegedly punching a 73-year-old woman in the face, breaking her nose and stabbing her in the arm with a corkscrew before hitting a second woman with a bottle at a wedding reception in the Whitsunday Islands.

he won! Lucky bastard he is.

Walked away with $270,600 I was kinda hoping he lost to break his gambling addiction but I also feel happy for him as well.

It wouldn't have made the slightest bit of difference anyway -- this was obviously a cynical stunt to make money, not lose it. He would have been assured of a large pile of money from one of the tabloid newspapers for his "story". The fact he won is immaterial really.

I fully agree jase.

Even though he was not paid by the sponsor, there is a film crew from another company filming him.
They will follow him around for about a month.
You can bet your bottom dollar (pun initially not intended) that he will receive a large sum of money for that...
