Testing testing; check one two – DWT is live once again on Reddit!
Terrific, terrific stuff
​
Alas – promotion has remained minimal; once again in the doldrums we find ourselves. Its been quite the roller coaster ride – only insofar as feeling like a slow laboured piece of shite – but we retain the hope we’ll finally be able to climb the hill without the gears slipping and forcing us backwards, slowly returning to home base. This time we actually open the tool box and pluck out spanners and drills and saws; not everything can be fixed with duct tape.
For transparency - my head isnae oft under the hood of my car fixing stuff to be honest. Sure - I can slip a bit of fluid in the windscreen wipers bottle, or tot up the oil or whatever pish; but its no oft I've a exhaust manifold sat on a workbench or owt. Its learning as we go at the moment - a wee plume of smoke erupts; its back to base to investigate, decipher, learn and fix. A fair amount of, 'Whats this for?' or ,'Are you sure that goes there?' - its perhaps not ideal given the parameters. But with each slight - with each disaster; knowledge is harvested. We take the lessons learnt and move forward with amendments being made to the manuscripts as we go. Much akin to years gone by - Columbus or whomever, out there on the seas; crew being struck down with all sorts of exotic and new ailments - none wise to what the fucks going on. Horrendous of course - but terrific news to bring home to the masses, 'Eat more oranges whilst at sea' etc.
My own ailments have been well documented in the usual places - a back constructed from old useless pieces of garbage lying about the place; a neck filled with big lumps of shite and sinew that there just isnae the room to allow for, and a head handicapped by a stiffness in movement that presents little oppurtunity for swift responsiveness and data capturing. Its tough, I'm no going to lie. but with the definite nature of the ailments presenting obstacles I just simply have to deal with, there comes a time when you just have to shrug your shoulders and get on with it. Being down in the dumps will be present here and there - its a right cunt when you don't have the usual avenues available, other than one pain-filled and doom-laden. I spent a bit of cash and time buying up equipment and having checks done and all the rest - but in the end, the reality of being an old cunt is one that comes with manys an acceptance. I do accept - but I also look to break boundaries. I say, 'Ok - the last cunt that did this, how did he do? Oh no cunts tried it? Well there's a precendence to be set then; a target for which others can take aim at and better - pushing ability further and further until the ailment is barely registering. Rehabilitation is summat I kind of make up as I go along; if it takes putting my left arm over my right then bending ninety degrees to release a bit of stabby pain - so be it. Thats what I've discovered helps for that particular problem. Duly noted. Always learning.
It likely makes sense reading this sort of shite, that as a result - I do what I do. Days of parading around pitches or arenas or courts or whatever long since over in any sense of competitiveness - the boots and racquets and clubs and all the rest sold on eBay or given to charity; no point in any of that now. It only serves to get in the way of my current progress march - DWT. Its been a long-winded trail of pish granted - but the point isnae now lost I'm sure: Dad does DWT like he means it. I do do that - it means a fucking lot. I oft stare way too far off into the distance at end goals and the like - no different with DWT - but in the interim, I've a terrific way of maintaining a voice and liaising with others. Whilst statistically I've had more prosperous times with DWT - in its current guise, the sense of acceptance is now one where the interactions are now expectant - with an wonderful sense of adventure. Its been a long and winding snake this current absence of victory - but even this deep into the hunt, the ever-presence of intrigue remains at large for some; for others that is represented by returning for a glance here and there. Either way - they know where it is and know who to ask. One day - they'll be telling stories and handing over t-shirts as gifts. I've no doubt in my mind this will be one day a reality.

Very upset I was at last weeks non-event; support was thick in the air for it. Little wonder – the combo was dripping with intrigue and potential aplenty. Alas the goals were very, very slow in arriving; nothing available in terms of prosperous cash out ops…just white knuckled fists gripped about the garment, hoping for last minute madness. The time spent up and out of the slurry that is being Whitewashed, avoided for just one week. Ah no. But after such a lengthy time amongst it – its understandable the week up and out was used as a potential springboard to superstardom. Lets rid ourselves of this place for as long as we can - remove the chance of dwelling there and get ourselves far, far away. To be honest with you - this mantra translates fairly loosely for me; sure o n paper reducing the odds and playing safe seems wise etc...but is it DWT? Does it carry the required essence? Glance at the picks - judge for yourselves. My eyes will always see what they see: Hope. So to wrap up - We prove we don't scare, We prove that we dare - the call to take care, is not oft one we share. Reddit Running Total (RRT) currently sits at -£323.43. Ah no.
​
I’m not promoting it in the slightest to be put on; it's purely to be completely transparent about where the beans I'm spilling are being pushed towards – this is after all, a Life Experiment: Can a useless old arsehole prosper under strict weekly gambling conditions? Word of warning; prior to this – not really.

The sticky clarifies - but just to reiterate - here's the format...DRS20 is Dads Recommended Spend: £20. This is a lot of money granted - and I would encourage absolute apprehension if this sort of money represents life altering for you personally if zero is returned. I’m lucky enough to be able to afford to lose £20 in a week; but confess that if I got no return for say, 20 weeks in a row - I would likely be without something I value (a streaming service or summat). I don’t take it lightly. Four bets are placed with this outlay; a £5 Treble (DWT) and three £5 Doubles. Generally if two come up, the bet is covered (up or down £2 or so). My gambling prowess is pretty much a joke; so whilst I advertise, I in no way qualify them as a given. I’m a prick with plenty bollocks to spout is all. This is how I frame it.

​
So here it is - the one that fuses the agony from different sources, in an attempt to turn shitey water into wine:
Its DWT36

DWT REPRESENTATIVE	Opponent	Odds
ABERDEEN	livingston	17/10
WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERS	crystal palace	13/8
KILMARNOCK	st johnstone	3/1

​
29.58/1 we get for this selection – terrific.
​
Over 22's last week; over 29's this week - I was deflated by last week there's no doubt there; but I choose to keep in focus the belief that existed prior to the collapse. Wise voices were thick in the air - there was little doubt that on paper - we had a solid wee bastard. To return nothing obviously stings like a right wee bastard - but the hope prior to me is as potent as the energy felt at things going right during. togetherness already evident before things have even got going is the kernel of goodness that really maximises the joy. Get it early - maintain it; and you're in for a terrific day. Trust therefore today proves equally potent 😎
​
ABERDEEN are in the mix; no oft I do this - but I just feel all the ingredients add up to victory here. Travelling to a place where no cunt seems able to win anymore, accompanied by a complete lack of scoring ability, seems possibly a strange set of ingredients to base assuredness on - but for me this is the essence of this weeks effort. Sure they are on fire at the moment; but if you're telling me the Dons are incapable of winning a game at livingston, then well - we are at a fucking crossroads ese.
WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS are feeling it a smidge this season; bottom half, struggling for form - they're a shadow of their former selves based on the return. But they visit a mob in much the same kind of dire straits themsleves - and based on recent escapades, Wolves seem much more the cunts likely to propell themselves upwards. The return to glory starts here.
KILMARNOCK subbed in at the last minute (ish) then - the affair at walsall called off alas. with it, Mansfields hope of yet another victory. Times have been tough for Killie tbf; but 3/1 is a price I couldnae resist (assisted no doubt by a couple Killie cunts getting Covid). Plenty left in the tank to get back to winning ways - at home mind. They may be on a tear - but they're arnae Brasil 1970 by fuck.
​
So there we have it – nostalgia, hope and determination all apparent in equal measure. This time we do it right; wind in the sails – and off across the ocean in search of new worlds. A powerful pirate ship hunting high and low for treasures. Raise the fucking flag - the good ship DWT is back and ready to provide for its crew. If you play; play safe. DRS20 as always people.
Frustration at the amount won, is better than the heartache at the amount lost.
