Duke attempts the Impossible

[Shogun112]

It was a good night, once I got in there. Nearly drove into that front room not expecting the turn to be that sharp. Had a good game myself and I am starting to like this live poker a bit now. Made one big mistake by not folding AQhh when it was obvious I was beat but really happy to finish fifth. Only wrong time to shove with 66 to get beat by KK kept me out of the individual pennies also. 

Nice to meet you last night Bill

Actually, Spartacus Chetwynd changed her name by deed poll, so really did make her name, literally. She says it annoys people, as does her art, and once her name no longer annoys people she will change it again. No chance of her art ever losing the ability to annoy unfortunately.

Received my new phone today. All good it"s swift and light. One wee thing though, it has face recognition security. I set it up and it"s pretty slick. However I decided to shave off the beard today and now it doesn"t recognise me

HTC One X?

Interested to know your opinion.

I confess I"m still undecided, I"m used to the HTC interface and like it...not so sure about Samsung"s interpretation but the S3 looks pretty damn good from what I"ve seen so far.

Just an observation, but if Ronnie O"sullivan decided to take the game seriously he would be virtually unbeatable.....

Loving the HTC one X - will write in more detail when awake, sober, compus etc

Had a lazy day yesterday spent mostly playing with the new phone. The HTC One X. It is much more manageable than the Streak and way way faster. It is has a screen big enough for what I want whilst being able to fit into the pocket a lot easier. Not been able to say much about some peoples bug bear, the battery life, because I have been mostly at home and have it on charge.

Synced all my emails and stuff and it is really slick and easy to use. Pleased with it really.

I have done the shopping and am now raiding the beer fridge ready for a relaxing evening at home. I will probably watch the FA Cup final although I am not really that interested to be fair. Tomorrow will be much of the same and so will Monday. It might sound boring but I love chilling and doing feck all....

Is there no end to Des's business interests. Although he must have a word with his marketing team about the name.

Any restaurant of mine is more likely to be featured on Ramsey"s Kitchen Nightmares, of which I"m a great fan!
