It was at the APAT team event in manchester when sat opposite Rich Offless resplendent in his Chezger shirt that it dawned on me what Chezger actually stands for, so the question is how do we pronounce it? With the required French inflection or more phonetically? I await clarification.  ;)

Every once in a while the way banks try to protect your security on line gives me a nice safe warm feeling. I get numerous emails from such nice people.

HSBC noticed someone trying to access my account and an incorrect password was entered three times so my on line account was being suspended until I entered my details again.

Egg banking Plc politely told me I have one message waiting for me to access. Such a nice company!

Halifax plc are so in love with me that they need me to re enter my details as they had a computer glitch and need to reaffirm my profile.

Pity I don't bank with any of them, they sound very concerned about their customers.

******

Thoroughly enjoyed the on line experience last night the UK Satellite was fun until I ran QQ into Geo's KK, the Blonde PLO was a laugh and I finished 3rd in that. Full tilt delivered again with just over $200 profit from the 45 man $10+1 SnG's. Was a wee bit tired so didn't play any late night donkament cash, maybe tonight.

*******

Premier League darts tonight. Now there's a game that is having a bit of a renaissance. The local Riley's have installed a Dart Zone recently and are enjoying increased footfall through the doors. Must dust off the old darts and practice in the spare room where the dart board is feeling a little lonely. Might just have a darts match in the house instead of poker. Hang on though that would mean the antagonists are armed, maybe not then.

Concordia Ridge is a cheeky little wine retailer from South East Australia  - This particular one is a Cabernet Sangiovese weighing in at 14.5% Vol. It"s loaded with flavours of red fruits (the cabernet bit) but these are harmoniously complimented by the the influence of Sangiovese. It"s a 2006 and I am reliably informed that it will continue to gain complexity over the next 3-5 years under careful cellaring conditions.

I had three bottles at 17:00 GMT   - I now have one left, which I have just cracked - cellaring my arsium  ;D

You go on trips sometimes and pop some petrol into the car and you roughly know how far that amount will take you. Not Richard Branson"s F1 team it seems. The tank on the car is too small to go the full distance in Melbourne (and some future ones) and a complete redesign is called for.

The car was designed solely by CFD - Computer Fluid Dynamics - aye it was designed by CFD - Complete Fecking Disaster

LOL just LOL

Whilst I wait for the main event on Betfair tonight, I fired up the $40+4 6 max on stars. Running 30 mins and still loads registering. The field has doubled since the start. PS keep on coining it.

Currently 24/295 on twice the average
