My early job in De Beers was to clean industrial diamonds with acid, this was not a good job but hey, it kept me in de beers. I applied for a job in the IT department after two years of this and got the job as a junior computer programmer, and I have been in IT ever since.

Obvious FYP.

On last nights APAT online championship game.

First of all a very well done to the FT people and especially to the1,2,3 placed  winners.  There was plenty of play early on and it was a great night.

I thought I played as well as I possibly could, given the cards I was getting. I managed one good pot when I had KK and finished up with a flush (the KK was good anyway if I recall) I survived longer than usual in these LOL. I was crippled when on 1k/2k I had QQ in UTG+1  and having 38k made it 12k to go (no snide comments please LOL). Player goes all in for 35k and it's back to me. Hmmm I did think for a while, which for me was a new experience, seriously I did. I called, he turned over 10 10, happy enough until the flop A 10 A and I was down to 3k and didn't recover (I did flop my own house when all in with J 4 next hand LOL).

The wee man got a lesson in how to play when getting feck all cards last night and enjoyed himself none the less.

My point is, I was happy with my play and happy with my overall approach to this tournament, I got beaten end of, it happens. I was happy with the tournament and had a great time.  I can't wait and will be back for the rest of them with a smile on my face and steel in my heart.

I don't know if any of you have sampled the delights of the illicit brew that is manufactured in Ireland. I am of course talking about the beauties of Poteen. It is a liquid revered by some for its therapeutic characteristics (or its mind blowing 90-95% abv) and its name is derived from the Irish word "pota", meaning pot. It is mainly distilled from potatoes in small holdings halfway up the mountain. A little known fact is that since about 1989 the revenue allowed legal production for export. FFS the world won't know what hit them. It is a peculiar drink in that your head is clear when you've had a few but your legs will not obey the commands from your brain.

Tom Nugent used to brew it outside the village and I would get a bottle every couple of weeks, not to drink. I used to mix it with olive oil and use it as a rub before playing rugby. I smelt like a cross between a brewery and a chip shop. When buying it he would insist you tasted it first, fun days LOL..

An old joke involving this potent brew...

Priest: "Haven't seen you at mass lately Tom"

Tom: "Not much faith these days father"

Priest: "The power of God is all around you. Why just yesterday I rubbed holy water on a woman's stomach and she passed a baby"

Tom: "That's nothing Father, I rubbed poteen into the dog's ****** and he passed a motorbike"

Have a good day
