Rich @arbee808.bsky.social · 25/08/2026My ex had a Dad like that, she broke my heart and it still upsets me sometimes but all I've gotta do is drive past his house and see the gigantic flag flying from the window and I instantly feel better about the whole situation 020
Rich @arbee808.bsky.social · 12/08/2026I could go out on an all weekender, drink/swallow/snort/smoke as much as humanly possible and still wouldn't spend as much as I would in 5 mins in the casino when I was addicted. And it used to wreck my mental health worse than any hangover/comedown ever did 020
Rich @arbee808.bsky.social · 12/08/2026As a troubled youth with an addictive personality, I had a lot of issues with drink and drugs but nothing came close to the damage that gambling caused, it's worse than any drug I ever took. Cannabis being illegal and gambling being advertised every time you turn on the tv is utterly insane imo 1280
Rich @arbee808.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Well it's hard to put an exact figure on it as they've only recently started recording it properly but best estimate is around 10k gambling suicides since 2005 191
Rich @arbee808.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Personally think his deregulation of the gambling industry, which has killed thousands and ruined the lives of many more, was probably a bit more damaging than having to keep your pub open a bit later 1220
Rich @arbee808.bsky.social · 28/07/2026The over 70's should be banned from social media long before the under 16's, it's scary how easily they're duped online 000
Rich @arbee808.bsky.social · 19/07/2026Infantino needs to be flown directly to the Hague after that complete farce at halftime 000
Rich @arbee808.bsky.social · 22/06/2026I love a Febo, we have just as many stoners/introverts in the UK who don't wanna interact with people, amazed nobody has tried it here yet 071
Rich @arbee808.bsky.social · 18/06/2026I had a battle with my GP for years, kept being told I was basically a hypochondriac and there was nothing wrong with me. Went to a chiropractor in the end, he sent me straight to hospital, diagnosed with MS 🤷♂️ 000
Rich @arbee808.bsky.social · 11/06/2026Like those dicks who buy a house next door to a pub then try to get it shut down coz it's noisey 000
Rich @arbee808.bsky.social · 09/03/2026Funnily enough, years ago, I was a gambling addict and often considered telling people I'd blown all my money on escorts as I thought it would be less embarrassing 🤷♂️ 180
Rich @arbee808.bsky.social · 26/02/2026The gambling industry is regulated? In the UK? Since when? 010
Rich @arbee808.bsky.social · 12/02/2026The only time Jim sees the UK, apart from boardrooms and fancy hotels, is when he's flying over it in his private jet, he knows nothing about life in this country and also doesn't care, he just wants less tax & regulation so is jumping on Nigels racist bandwagon alongside the worst of humanity 020
Rich @arbee808.bsky.social · 17/12/2025I'm a recovering addict, not gambled in 5 years but still get "not on gamstop" texts every day. Although my life was completely destroyed by regulated bookmakers, they don't behave much better they just pay the odd fine (none of which goes to the lives they destroy) so hard to sympathise with them 141
Rich @arbee808.bsky.social · 27/11/2025Kevin seems to forget that the Netherlands didn't just increase taxes, they banned advertising and introduced affordability checks at the same time because it's a country that actually puts people before profit (see Groningen gas fields for example, something that would never happen in the UK) 010
Rich @arbee808.bsky.social · 27/11/2025"Companies who have destroyed hundreds of thousands of lives and on average more than one suicide a day with practices that are banned in most other countries, cry like babies over having to pay back some of their obscene profits to the society they're blighting" would have been better 061
Rich @arbee808.bsky.social · 21/11/2025Spent years keeping my parents away from facebook, fortunately they're scared of technology so it's quite easy but they've recently discovered GB "News" and think it's an actual news channel and are already spouting nonsense they've seen on there, need to find a way to remove channels from their TV 2160
Rich @arbee808.bsky.social · 11/11/2025Gambling companies always seemed like such decent, honest businesses, this is a huge shock 020
Rich @arbee808.bsky.social · 06/11/2025I always found it completely ludicrous that she claimed to be a Buddhist, I think she completely misunderstood what "right" means in the teachings 000
Rich @arbee808.bsky.social · 23/10/2025One of the worst things you could possibly do to your children 000
Rich @arbee808.bsky.social · 21/10/2025👏👏👏 @jonathanliew.bsky.social seemingly the only journalist who hasn't completely lost their sanity over this story 010
Rich @arbee808.bsky.social · 17/10/2025If they force the police to overturn their decision and Maccabi fans do turn up and cause trouble on the streets of a country he's supposed to keep safe, how is that going to look? It seems he cares more about how the state of Israel sees him than those in the country he's in charge of 3457
Rich @arbee808.bsky.social · 15/10/2025I don't know how you stay so chilled when dealing with people like this Zack, they shout all the usual, infuriating nonsense at you but you just remain calm and put across your very valid points. I don't think I could last 10 seconds in a room with somebody like Carol 070
Rich @arbee808.bsky.social · 09/10/2025Appreciate this isn't the point but there's already a multi-billion £ cannabis industry in the UK but the government refuse to even have a conversation about that yet it wants to encourage people to drink more alcohol which causes much more harm. 030
Rich @arbee808.bsky.social · 08/10/2025No offence Baz but I wouldn't mind at all if you were sacked from TS, your show is the only one I listen to, it's just wall-to-wall rage bait and gambling adverts the rest of the time, would be quite happy to never listen to it again 010
Rich @arbee808.bsky.social · 07/10/2025I live in Herefordshire and can confirm you rarely see a non-white face around here yet so many are still obsessed by immigration, putting up flags, shouting on facebook etc. It's a good example of how it's all just manufactured online rage, hyped up by cretins like Jenrick 140
Rich @arbee808.bsky.social · 23/09/2025Nice piece but I can't help but think, couldn't your mate have given you some of their toothpaste? 060
Rich @arbee808.bsky.social · 15/09/2025Good on them, at least they're not out on the streets shagging flags and getting grifted by Facebook algorithms, they're probably happier than most of society and that's the most important thing 060
Rich @arbee808.bsky.social · 01/09/2025What are we supposed to be angry about this week, is it the billionaires turn yet? I hope it's the billionaires 000
Rich @arbee808.bsky.social · 26/08/2025"Nick's such a good judge. Among the guests were Piers Morgan" 050
Rich @arbee808.bsky.social · 30/07/2025I'm a medical cannabis patient, it's vastly improved my life but I'm still stigmatised because it's seen as harmful. They refuse to follow other Countries by taxing & regulating it yet gambling, which causes more harm than cannabis ever could, is given a completely free reign! Unreal hypocrisy 000
Rich @arbee808.bsky.social · 30/07/2025Labour are even worse than the Tories when it comes to gambling, completely in the pockets of the gambling lobby, the 2005 gambling act has caused so much suffering to so many people yet nothing ever changes, I'm not aware of any other Country that has such low level gambling regulation 100
Rich @arbee808.bsky.social · 28/07/2025The UK probably has the least regulated gambling industry in the world, even the USA, land of the free etc have tighter gambling regulation. It causes unimaginable pain and suffering to thousands of it's citizens yet MPs continue to do nothing about it, corruption in plain sight 020
Rich @arbee808.bsky.social · 25/07/2025Ha, I've done a lot of club/festival promotion in my time and this is 100% true 020
Rich @arbee808.bsky.social · 14/07/2025My family think I love jaffa cakes and I'm not sure why. Every xmas they all buy them for me and all make a joke about how much I love them and how happy I am to get my jaffa cakes, I don't mind them and will happily eat them but they're far from my favourite, I have no idea how this started 020
