OK Mez, as promised!

In order to add interest to the life in Mez's fishtank and to raise some money for Accyweb's server bills I am running book on how long before Mez kills one!

So it will work like this.

50p buys you a particular day starting 1st Feb(if one dies before that then that one won't count). Only 1 person can reserve each day and I will take bets up to 31st Jan next year so a possible 365 days. The winner will get half of whatever the pot is at that point. The rest goes to Roy. If Mez by some wonder of nature manges to keep them the whole year with no casualties then the whole pot goes to Roy with a packet of fish food as a prize for Mez.
Money can be 'pledged' via PM and will be collected physically at Accyweb meets or can be sent to me at home(PM for address).

So place your bets!

PS, Mez, you're obviously excluded so there can be no involuntary ethuanasia!

This is absolutely disgraceful and I’m totally shocked……….10th & 13th February Please.

Watch out Ian, Mez might chuck the mucky fish tank water at you if you're not careful for suggesting she can't keep a few little tiddlers alive.

All right, I'm going to be optimistic and have 18th August and 9th October. I have faith in you Mez!

I have to agree that betting in any way, shape or form is disgusting..........so you can put me down for 1st March and 14th July..

Debbie J · 29-01-2006, 08:38

OK, good so far,

BTW, I was thinking whilst walking to the meet. Time of death will be certified as the time of discovery. i.e. Mez may go to bed at 9 (Yeh, right!) and little Bert may croak at 10 or it could be 1am. we wouldn't know exactly what day he died. So it is time(day) of discovery that counts.

Ian, PS, I'm down for 21st April and 29th May

The spreadsheet will be posted later today.
