“Square ball?” “No, it’s just that these shorts are very tight.” We’ve reached that stage in the Championship where the wheat has been well and truly separated from the chaff. Well, to be honest, there’s still a good bit of chaff, but a lot less than before. It’s not as if we have to pretend […]

Galway & Goodwood Competition
As promised, we’ve one, much-sought after Paddy Power BBQ remaining in the office. With the Galway Races and Glorious Goowdood well underway, we feel it’s an opportune time to run a competition for Barbie (That’s her name €“ treat her well). Did I mention we’re doing this because the Galway Races and Glorious Goodwood are […]
German Grand Prix – Massa Refund!
Backed Felipe Massa to win the German Grand Prix? Don't worry. Due to the farcical team orders handed out by Ferrari to allow Alonso pass race leader Felipe Massa, we've decided the only fair thing to do is refund bets on the Brazilian. Hopefully it will please our F1 punters! We've refunded in […]
The Very Open Open Championship
They weren’t the most morally desirable bunch, but Tiger’s mitresses certainly boosted the gate. We’ve been watching the golf world intently in recent weeks. And with all the silly pants, beer-bellies and Sergio Garcia, it hasn’t always been easy. We’ve been trying to pick out who’s likely to lift the Claret Jug next Sunday […]

Holland v Spain – How It's Gonna Go Down
It’s the last match of World Cup 2010 and Cartoon Vampire is glad because his supply of nob gags is running so low he was considering a hosepipe ban. Boom boom! He’s supposed to be in Soccer City to take in the World Cup final, but he’s probably sitting at home and using the money […]

World Cup Competition – Day 27
Good evening and welcome to Have I Got A Competition For You. My name is Chris, and if I seem familiar to you, it’s because I’ve been apparently doing this menial task for Paddy Power for far too long according to Sinead in yesterday's comp€¦. who, by the way, was correctly rewarded with a free […]
Germany v Spain – How It's Gonna Go Down
Cartoon Vampire is armed with a pen, notebook and disturbingly vivid imagination bordering on schizophrenia and he’s looking ahead to events as Germany and Spain sort out who gets the remaining place in the much coveted World Cup Almost A Final and who moves to the much despised 1st/2nd placed playoff. ==================================== LONGWINDED […]
World Cup Competition – Day 26
There are some things money can’t buy, for everything else there's Cristiano Ronaldo's high interest Mastercard. If you haven't heard, Real Madrid's prize show-pony effectively bought himself a baby according to Portuguese newspapers, which in the simplest of terms, equates to: he paid a hooker to get pregnant. Portuguese Peter Griffin has already offloaded his […]
Holland v Uruguay – How It's Gonna Go Down
Cartoon Vampire is coming to the end of his all expenses trip to South Africa which can mean only one thing – he’s making the most of the free alcohol while he can. Here’s his whiskey-fuelled prediction of what will happen when Holland meet Uruguay in the first semi-final. ================================== BUILD UP: The biggest defeat […]
World Cup Competition – Day 23
After the Dutch dumped Brazil out of the World Cup, manager Dunga did the honourable thing. Stepped down and accepted responsibility for the team's underperformance. And his contract was up; who'd give a manager a contract extension PRIOR to a World Cup anyway? Oh€¦ that's right, the English FA. Yesterday, they confirmed Italian Fabio […]
World Cup Comp-day 22
Good morning all, another guessing game is the order of the day. I want to know what will be the aggregate total of goal minutes in the Ghana v Uruguay game tonight, any goals scored in extra time will count. No penalties scored in a penalty shootout will count. We'll use fifa.com to give us the […]
Holland v Brazil – How It's Gonna Go Down
Build Up: There’s drama even before a ball has been kicked as Dunga adopts a Rotherham accent and names 10 players plus an apparently innocuous cake trolley in his starting line-up. 1 min: The quarter-final gets underway and it's soon uncovered that €˜Dunga' is in fact one of the Chuckle Brothers with his moustache […]
