    Default I Bet You Have Never Heard Something Like This...

    I haven't heard something like this before...Have a look:

    Player Threats to Online Gambling Operator Taken Seriously

    Highlights:

    • Threatening to blow someone’s brains after having a few drinks too many is a big no-no


    • After demanding $50,000 (GBP 33,000) to cover his losses and threatening an unidentified poker operator’s staff that he would travel to the company’s headquarters and “blow the f***ing brains out of every single person who crosses my path,” Michael Gallagher (35) found himself in even deeper trouble, as he was brought before the Recorder of Middlesbrough, Judge Peter Fox, who decided he should spend some time in prison.


    • Apparently, the next day, he sent another email apologizing for his threats and claiming that what he (Gellagher) said was under the influence of alcohol. However, this did not mitigate Judge Fox, who told Gallagher: “It is no excuse, at all, that you were affected by drink.”

    It is sad and scary what alcohol and gambling can do to a person.

    People need to take getting drunk a little more seriously. If you can't handle it, don't do. I had a nephew, off duty cop killed by a drunk driver and I cringe when I hear people brag and laugh about how drunk they got or how they drove while being wasted.

    Hey, nothing wrong with having a few drinks, or more than a few if you have some one to drive you and also some one who can shut you up when the liquor starts talking, but driving drunk devistates lives and at times the mouth can be almost as bad from a sloppy drunk.

    I usually get lucky and lose my phone or leave it in a taxi! As far as the computer goes, GMail a nice little tool for this. You have to solve a series of math problems;

    Google says 52 seconds is too slow for 5 math problems?! With my poor math skills I'd be lucky get all the answers correct even when sober

    They should have a webcam scanner which detects if you can touch your nose, walk in a straight line etc.

    I bet this guy wasn't even drunk, just pissed off and was looking for an excuse. I think it was a stupid one, as Judge Fox agreed
