The weekend is sorted

Tonight: Aquarium for the usual fayre with the wee man
Saturday: Da Nephews wedding (will try to slip away for the APAT online game)
Sunday: Recovery followed by the APAT league game.

They don"t come much better than that....

The wedding was very good (free bar was a bonus), didn"t make the online game obv.... The League poker game wasn"t great and I exited in 45th (small cash). We (North West) have yet to score a point, however it is a marathon and not a sprint  ;D

In Deeside all this week so I am stocking up on the delights of the staff restaurant in preparation for a bit of a tour of the Southern depots. Setting off for Swindon on Saturday for a relabeling of the racking, back in the depot Sunday for a while to make sure all is well. Then it is off to Enfield on Sunday. Now I have the afternoon and evening off so I might head into London..

Monday/Tuesday in Enfield Depot for voice picking implementation, Wednesday/Thursday back in Swindon for support when they do acceptance testing of the new software version.

Then it's party time as I head for Coventry on the Friday....

Swindon, Enfield - Southern? That"s up North so far as I"m concerned. Definitely Midlands minimum.
5th place - Portsmouth Snooker Club £10 rebuy

Right - travelling "South" today, maybe crawling Chester last night wasn"t a good idea.......

Preapration for Coventry is more of the same, following on from my exits in the League I have played 3 $4.50 180 games and in every one I have lost out KK v AA (and was viciously slowrolled in the last one). So my plan of playing Coventry sober has been abandoned  ::)

Coventry was fun as usual, I made day 2 so that's a result. These affairs are all about the people and as people go APAT has the best. It seems a mini tour is on the cards to Vilamoura in November. I have already booked my flight and accommodation (via the inimitable Curly). It has the makings of an epic trip.

Oh and watch out Vilamoura, I had 6 people from the aquarium express interest in travelling. Two definite's who are booking their flights on Monday. The value is on its way.

National picks

Aquarium sweep

Synchronised
Junior

APAT sweep

Tatenen

Wee Man picks
Ballabriggs
Giles Cross
West End Rocker

Sooo will my 150/1 winner pay off (APAT rules) and will any of the six picks make the trip and more importantly make me (or Ger) money.

Placed my bets on Paddy Power and the enormity of the transaction has caused their server to crash  ;D

Does Des have shares in Paddy Power  ::)
