Adverts will still be banned during shows aimed at under 18s - and anyone who appears to be under 25 cannot be shown gambling on TV or on radio
How do you appear to be under 25 on the radio??

The Chinese beat them as well - as with most things, the Chinese done it years before anyone else had woken up

And for American Football get Sky T - have decent coverage or NASN and watch ALL kinds of American sports, including College stuff.

I am sure I am not the only American who has struggled with flushing Irish and English toilets! There is a trick to it and it must take a long time to learn. After this - I refuse to leave your brother's pub until you get me to a 100% successful flush rate.
As for the pay phone - you try asking 10 Irish men how much it cost to use a pay phone in Dublin and see what kind of looks and answers you get! And do it with a southern accent while you are at it.

Edit: just thought, that last may be news to some of our American members. No offence intended guys, but the parent game really is British. See here:

I fear for the yute these days. When I was wee, freedom was a notion associated with the USA. Oh how that has changed.
Somehwere along the line, Our Supreme Court decreed that the Pursuit of Happiness meant the pursuit of money. With that definition, repeatedly, things which I took for granted long ago, have become taboo. It started before my time.
Question still remains, Canada, or the UK?

I hadn`t heard that, Vintage. Can`t imagine how that would work. The internet is (obv) global. If any one State tries to tax operators, won`t they just locate somewhere else ?
I have heard that the UK government is happy to encourage online gambling firms to base themselves in the UK and incorporate on the London Stock Exchange (as many already do). That has the effect of generating tax revenue in the UK and means that operators agree to inspection and regulation by UK government agencies. Was that what you had in mind ?

Not sure about that Egon. I heard that they trying to bring in a online gambling tax too. Ridiculous considering the abandoned the tax in B&M bookmakers some years ago.

Seems good to me.

Speaking of whom, I just learned of this nonsense:

pretty soon, as well as being unable to play online poker in the US, you also won`t be able to listen to the radio while you don`t play.
