chesters1 1587 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 (edited) The first proper scratch cards i remember were sold by aldershot football club in 1974/5 and i have used punch cards but they were for a machine used as a crude form of programming before 0 & 1 ruled the planet .It was used to stamp numbers and letters on a stamping machine ,you setout what ever you wanted to stamp and pulled a lever and a card with holes in popped out ,strung together you could stamp blank after blank with the cards in a loop.I belive far before that in 'T' mill they determined the pattern but i will leave that to someone with an interest in such things to confirm (the T being "trouble in t' mill of lore) Not seen a combination of the 2 although my mum had a 'keymatic' washing machine where a square key with cutouts in each edge determined what the machine would do ,again before electronic processors ruled the planet as it was most probably analogue .The latest washing machines have expensive parts that let you add clothers after you start the machine ,new they say? You could do that in every washing machine from sink to 1930's washing machines through twin tubs to keymatics ,its as new as coal! Edited January 14 by chesters1 Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies! There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle Mathew 4:19 Grangers law : anything i say will turn out the opposite or not happen at all! Life insurance? you wont enjoy a penny! "To compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves and abhors, is sinful and tyrannical."

Well was I was 14 worked at the amusement arcade doing the machines , old pennies then came the decimal coins and there taking doubled overnight from old pennies to new pennies , they took thousands in them days what they take now is anybody’s business .All vat to be paid on all the taking Had a bandit in the pub I had and it made more money than any drinker in there by miles along with that juke box and pool table .

There isn’t any certainties in racing but you do get one or two which are very close to it but the trick is being on the right one . .

A brain is a terrible thing to waste Phone Thanks phone he is in tremendous form and hasn’t been out of the first 3 in his last 7 races , but as always in handicapping the handicapper gets his way eventually, but he should still run a big race tonight not a big price but you should get a good run for your money.And there is only small field of 5 runners ,Southwell is his favourite track with the deep sand .Would have made the trip down there but with covid restrictions that’s now totally out of the question . Here he is winning at Southwell recently . Paul Edited January 15 by big_cod http://sea-otter2.co.uk/Probably Whitby's most consistent charterboat Link to post Share on other sites
