Out of the Betfair Paul Nicholls Poker Challenge. Pocket 10"s were not good for me

1. The board s8"ed to suit his J after I hit a set
2. v AQ when an A hit and I did not believe Sean  ;D
3. v A 4 and the board received 3 more 4"s

I run so good. (Maybe when I was on 5k I should have made a sandwich or something.  8) )

So Bolton looms and I have a cold. Bad enough not to be able to work, hope it clears up

I haven't been too well these last couple of days, not dwelling on it, it happens. However daytime TV is shyte and didn't really feel like playing any poker on line. So dilemma, how to pass a snotty day.

I turned to my bookshelves. Now people's taste in books is really down to individuality and some people like fiction, some like fact, some like autobiographies etc etc. Anyway I looked at my shelves of books. Clive Cussler, Alistair Maclean, Jack Higgins, Wilbur Smith will give you the genre I read (when I read).

Funnily enough it passed the time nicely and I was comfortable just reading the adventure stuff.

Must read more.

Watching Terry Wogan's Ireland on the iPlayer. Would have been a nice program if that sanctimonious, false, ingratiating, jumped up fecking eejit wasn't doing it.

Excellent read, would seriously recommend it. I really enjoy all of his books though. Digital Fortress is also one to read if you have not done so yet.

The Chezger team this weekend is extremely strong I see (bit too strong for my liking actually). Can you all please make sure you are drinking from about 12pm on Saturday to ensure APAT has the best chance to win.

Thank you kindly.

Still trying to think of something amusing to write in this bit.
