There are very few things that can ever compare to being selected to represent your country at something. It is an honour that I do not take lightly and will be relishing every minute of it.

Heartiest congrats sir

+1.

Looking forward to locking horns mate

So, Charles Darwin is being replaced on the £10 note by Jane Austin..

I prefer this one

Some countries won"t let you in because you are a terrorist
Some if you have a criminal record
Some even deny you entry because you have no money or job

The list could go on...

But this is a new one - being denied a visa because you are overweight

2 weeks of shirts ironed - all work trousers washed - all casual trousers washed - full basket of clean undies and socks - smashing roast round my sisters - she fell asleep hammered - now having a few scoops myself.

Life is full of surprisingly good days

There are some people that "inflate" the value of stolen items when dealing with the insurance claim.

However I think the final "estimate" of this robbery after the initial report takes the biscuit.

GEM ROBBERY

myVEGAS......

OK explain to me how this is going to be any good to me, I have over 100k gold coins and some of you have a lot more. It says that when you purchase you have to use within 90 day. That"s not a problem - it"s what to do with them. 15 buckets of beer looks good.

Paulie? come on travel guru tell me why I am playing that stupid game?

For myself I"m basically racking them up for a couple of free nights somewhere down the line.

Probably somewhere expensive that I wouldn"t pay for normally.

There are some others (like the 2-1 bucket of beers at The Pub) that are sort of OK or perhaps a credit at a steakhouse somewhere.

Bear in mind that, I think, that you can only buy so many rewards every month (three I think) and they have to be used within 90 days once you have bought them/

Your points don"t expire (AFAIK) so that"s not an issue but there has been a devaluation of the rewards in recent months so you do have to pick our spots.

I read the hand analysis threads a lot and hardly ever post because I cannot analyse hands like a lot of people. Sometimes I see a thread and my instant reply would be "all in" then a lot of people post against that and I have to think. But then I say sod that I would be all in anyway.

In other situations I say instant fold, then people will post very intelligently as to why you should be still in the hand. It is all very confusing.

Ask JB about Tallin where I busted AA with the "it"s always 50/50, you either win or you don"t"

See you in Cardiff where my chips are up for grabs......

Prior to an important APAT weekend, practice is imperative.

So it"s off to the aquarium tonight  

[KarmaDope]

So tempted - but after 10 straight nightshifts I need to pack for tomorrow...
