...this one has really pressed all my buttons:

Have you ever wanted to take someone by the shoulders and shout, "You're a grown up. You are responsible for your own actions. Now go home"

Okay - I might be overracting, but do you think she has a case?

Does anyone think that the lady in question should gamble a few quid on me ? I would be quite happy to help her lose a large sum should she so desire.

Gromit, //If only there was a Holy Book which forbid gambling...//

There is. The Koran. Mohammed however wasn’t averse to gambling on horse or camel racing. ;o)

He isn't her husband, they are divorced. The media got it wrong. This lady is not mentally stable. She is his x wife who is in denial about the divorce.

More money than sense, really tics me off when people refuse to take responsibilty for their own actions.

[naomi24]

Me too, Brenden. It's always someone else's fault.

Douglas, very good. :o)
