Simply the Best?

Twice in the last 12 months I have spent all day crying
and I mean all day
Strangely although I am a semi-pro gambler
Neither of these days have been to do with my betting ups & downs
Last Wednesday (29 th Nov) my daughter Eva  India Wilson was born
the other day (and I can say -I cried all day)
The funeral of the man that Pele said was 'perhaps the greatest footballer of all time'
I am of course talking about George Best
A man so popular here in Northern Ireland we gave him a state funeral
and so it should be -a man who brought pleasure to millions
(mainly five foot ten,tanned and with foreign sounding names)
So how fantastic it is that the tiny country of Northern Ireland should honour this Great with amongst other things an Airport and most recently -a bank note
To my delight I got my hands on one of these banknotes -this week

Kinggeorge

When you come from a country where our other truly great successes include Alex 'Hurricane' Higgins and The Titanic -It is great to see One of the Best being celebrated in this way

Betfair Profits Soar in 2006

Betfair Profits Soar in 2006

 

Investors in Betfair, one of the most popular sportsbetting and online casino ventures online, were understandably jubilant following the announcement of the firm’s recent results. According to Betfair’s figures, 2006 saw revenue grow 36 percent to 145 million pounds sterling, while pre-tax profits reached 38 million from 23 million last year.
In addition, the sports betting giant finished 2006 with a huge cash reserve of 142 million pound sterling. Last year’s cash reserve figure was 52 million. The firm’s net assets also increased to 130 million pounds from last year’s 48 million.
Growth in all sectors increased significantly. The number of regular users reached 160,000 compared to 95,000 registered in 2005, with approximately 11 million bets being processed by Betfair’s operations each day. More than two million pounds were deposited daily. The most prolific period was over the time of the football World Cup, which generated 11 million bets alone.
As a result of all this phenomenal growth, Betfair’s operations have expanded to provide betting services in 18 languages. The firm has also focused heavily on growing its business in new markets with over 50 percent of new memberships being generated from outside the United Kingdom. Unlike most other major sports betting firms, Betfair has never relied on the lucrative U.S. market for its profits and has traditionally tailored its services for the British and European betting markets.
Over 900 people are employed by the firm across in offices situated in Tasmania, Malta, Denmark and London

Top Tips -Banners,affiliates etc

Top Tips -Banners,affiliates etc
When researching 'money making tools' for bloggers
I came across this text

Do-It Yourself
Doing it yourself is a great way to learn and to save money. If you already have a website, all you have to do is access it, edit it and upload the changes.

First, gain access to your webpages. You'll do this either by using a program like WSFTP to login to your site - or by using a web-based program that allows you to access and make changes to your pages.

If you're using a program like WSFTP to download your pages onto your hard drive, you can open them in Notepad, or in a web-editor like Dreamweaver, Homesite or FrontPage.

All of these programs will give you two "views". One will show you what the page will look like when you upload it - complete with colors and formatting. If you've heard of the term WYSIWYG (wiss-ee-wig), it comes from this "view" and is an acronym that simply stands for What You See Is What You Get. The other "view" will show you the HTML coding.

Using the WYSIWYG view, find the area where you'd like to add your banner. With most programs, you can paste the code in right there. A little grey box will appear denoting the image. The banner won't show until you view it online.

If you program doesn't allow you to paste the code in the WYSIWYG area, you can try "marking" the spot with something like "zzz". Then, go to the HTML view. Perform a search or find using the commands on the new window to find the "zzz" you inserted. Paste your banner code over the zzz and go back to the WYSIWYG area.

When you are finished, upload the updated page to your site. Test it to be sure that the banner shows and that the link to the merchant's site works.
