Who's next..ask paddy power

As an aside to this - why didn't all of these "stranded" holiday makers have Travel Insurance? Or doesn't it pay out in the event of Airline collapse?

Apparently not:

........I still think he will do something evil using the Civil Contingencies Act.

What a load of bollocks - it's no wonder you can't get odds on that - there will be an election, although I wish Paddy Power would take your daft conspiracy theory cash - maybe it's worth ringing them up to ask.

I'd give you 100000000000000000-1 against him using the civil contingecies act to cancel an election - but I'm not a bookie.

If you know what Air force one is then you may appreciate the cheek/irony in offering odds on it going bust

My favourite was the bloke who has placed a bet on Father Dougal out of Father Ted being the next Pope!

Well? I thought it was pretty good odds!

When I first saw the name 'Paddy Power' (on some snooker players waistcoat) I thought it was some kind of energy supplier offering cheap electricity made by Irish urchins made to walk on treadmills all day.

I wonder what odds I could get on that bloke not winning? It might be good odds but a fictional character out of a defunct tv sitcom being made Pope is added to my list of things that just aren't going to happen.
