That’s a lovely shot. I’d have been thrilled to get it.

This is what is known in the betting industry as “chasing your losses” and is a warning sign of a problem gambler who requires an intervention.

I very much believe he hasn’t read it. In fact I’d be surprised if anyone in his circle of cronies has read it. It’s so badly written.

It’s a stream of consciousness completely devoid of structure. Sentences drag out for five lines and paragraphs go on for more than a page. There is often a change of subject along the way, forcing you to go back and re-read the garbage you couldn’t hold onto the first time around.
