Duke attempts the Impossible

Ger...

Where did you finish in the rebuy...

Rebuy became a shove fest, as it does, and I lost

Sat down tonight awaiting the S6 announcement, so as is my want I cracked a couple of beers. Then the great one says, sorry guys still in negotiation. Not a problem he does a sterling job and should be commended. So why waste a good night says I. So I cracked a few more and tried out Netflix, not great but not too bad. A couple of beers more and we are laughing at shadows. A couple more and we are giggling at a Mayliss post on FB about burning her elbow making a salad. Another couple of beers and we are in pieces splitting my sides at a documentary about penguins. Then we miss the seat as we went to sit down and are now giggling about a split in my forehead. Went to stand up after the fall and we went sideways and could not straighten until we hit the French windows bounce off and measure my length on the floor. Pick myself up and stem the blood still giggling.

Welcome to my world . priceless

And relax - the wound is sealed - and I am still giggling

Bad news for the small skins - or just smoke and mirrors

So S6 has been announced and it is looking good. Looking good, because as it stands, I can make all of them.

Coventry hotel has already been booked, William Hill has been resurrected from the bowels of the backup disk and primed. Looking forward to meeting up with the best bunch of people it has been my pleasure to know.

If Carlsberg did poker meet ups.... (JP would still crash and burn though)

Off to the pub to watch England v Wales.... more in hope than expectation

There are very few reference points in the way England achieved their wins however much could be said of the Welsh games.

I do believe though that the experience of the Welsh pack and the power of their backs will shade this game.

[duke3016]

Well then, Ireland managed a flattering win whilst not really impressing and Wales showed grit and determination against a vastly improved England side. On their last three performances (although Ireland should have beaten them) Wales deservedly won the Triple Crown. This takes me out of my negative position in the fantasy league

I will miss the match tomorrow as I will be travelling down to Swindon for work. I hope the connection in the hotel will hold up for the Chezger game on Monday, which is the last in the present series.

In order to acclimatise myself on William Hill I will be playing the 50c rebuy at 9.30

Did I mention I love rebuys

The rule that you can rebuy for 1000 chips when you have less than 25 bigs means that for $5 I climbed to 13k in chips in the last 10 mins without playing a hand

From the BBC

"The doctors are satisfied with his [Mr Mandela"s] condition, which they say is consistent with his age."
That sounds worrying, he"s old but they haven"t a clue

"He was in good health before admission in hospital"
If he was in good health why the feck did he need to go to hospital

Don"t you just love some reporting
