Yesterday, I appointed a General Manager for the club to commence employment on July 1st. His name is Darren Whiten and he is Nick's brother who I have known for 25 years+. He as at my first home game "railbirding", so some of you will have met him.

What a journey to Scotland, I borrowed my mums car, I knew it had been having a few starting problems (but did not mention this to Chubbs and Nick) and sure enough we broke, after we stopped for a break off the M6 at Kendall. Luckily Nick had his AA card and we were back on the road an hour later, and we rang DC to tell him that we wouild be late.

Had to check the dates again, it really is Friday the 13th, no wonder Chubby Nowab's first draft of the web site was like a horror story. Never mind, small acorns and all that.

Nice to see all those good luck comments on Nightfly in Chiill's thread, strange how I'm calling people by their Blondepoker names rather than their real ones aswell! "robyong" wasn't a very creative forum name was it, should have though of something more snazzier.

At my trip to the Broadway I managed to get the name of the company that designed and managed the refurbishment of their wonderful casino. I contacted them yesterday, Redgate Contracting Ltd, and arranged that we would meet when The Shrew (refurbishment man) gets back from Tenerife.

What a great do Blondepoker put on. I was planning to come home on Sunday morning but ended up watching the quiz, battering Flushy at head-up ("he's not ready" and reminds me of Ariston), and playing 15 minutes of the £100 freezout.

Today I went the the premises to show round my solicitor, Andrew Woods. He's a nice down to earth bloke and although I am yet to part with any hard cash to him, he's been doing his homework.
