My dad won a prize on the pools. It was in the days when you got a postal order, it's like a bankers cheque.

They were that chuffed, they put it on the fireplace mantle piece. My older brother who was only little ran past, and it blew into the fire.

He also won a lot more years later. The equivalent of about £30,000. In the pools, you made 8 guesses on the football results. The prize for all 8 was about the equivalent of a million £s. He got 7 right.

But, and there was always a but for my dad, he had only filled in 7 guesses, so they told him his entry was invalid.

I was brought up not to gamble so I seldom do. I just presume (realistically) that it is just for fun and entertainment. As far as I know no-one in the close family does except for my stepson who does the lottery. I remember the pools but don't remember hearing about anyone local who won although I presume some did.

I have dabbled in gambling: I play the Postcode Lottery. But that's where it ends. It isn't free money and I have serious doubts I'll ever win anything except the odd £20. It just won't happen.

It's sad but I have to have the right job if I want more money. Gambling will just get me into debt. My dad said this: and he's right. Still, I have hopes of winning the National Lottery: that is if I ever bought a ticket.

Im not a gambler, I do contribute to a lottery that is run by the animal protection society. So it benefits a good cause .

On the rare occasions I gamble I follow the simple rule of never betting more than I can afford to lose. I use the same rule when lending money.

Gambling is a problematic way to make money: because you mostly lose. This means risking getting into £1000's of debt. I don't like owing people money, so this puts me right off. But - in all honesty - it would be nice to win the lottery. But mostly everyone would be happy if they did. Still, I don't play the National Lottery. I've tried scratchcards in the past: it was too difficult to claim any money and even then you'd only win £5 or £10. And you'd ALWAYS have near misses: you scratch off two symbols but the third wouldn't match. So the scratchcard addict buys another one: and another one. It becomes an addiction for money that is never won. Hence why I don't use them.

What an absolute farce.

Laws are supposed to protect everybody, even shareholders.

How can a vehicle be the cause?

...and if the court has found it to blame, what do the suggest the manufacturers do to prevent it?

I am fascinated by NASA and their plans to land and build a colony on Mars. And I believe they will do it by the end of this century.

I have written a short story called "Mission To Mars" which is about how NASA go about doing this.

I love science and space travel.
