Just clicking a series of numbers & letters could take you anywhere, people - well, rational people - want to see first where they are being sent.
You don't go into Tesco & buy a packet or tin of something without knowing what the contents are. Could be anything inside.
Back in the old days before labels were invented it was carnage, we never knew what we were buying.
And then some bright spark thought of labels.
Today, I am your bright spark.
I'm trying to work out how you knew which video to link to.

Over one month since last post. I hope all is well Tom xx
All good thanks Craig. Hope you are the same.
Dropping in on you one day is on my bucket list, along with buying dinner for Celtic,
persuading Tony to watch Breaking Bad
, and making nirvana laugh, the miserable bastard.
GL with that Tom, never gonna happen, I no longer watch children's TV stuff.
You ever watch Mortimer & Whitehouse Gone Fishing? It's very much an acquired taste, two old buffers in the autumn of their lives just fishing & generally messing about. They did a "Christmas Special" last night - ugh @ TV Xmas Specials - but it was utterly wonderful, & had me welling up at the end. Not sure I've ever enjoyed or even watched an Xmas Special since the days of Morecombe & Wise 40 years ago, but this was quite exceptional.

Supernova & myself only recently discovered this series. Who would have thought that watching a couple of old blokes fishing and talking about their medical issues could be such fun. Highly recommended.

^^^^^
That's exactly it, fishing, health issues - & cooking. Who'd have though that trio of topics would have made such a compelling watch?
Hope you & Shaz are both well.

Apropos nothing, I was clearing some junk out yesterday and found these.

Blackpool Bonanza. What a great week that was.
Meeting up with everyone who was anyone, playing real freeze-outs and pot limit, staying in that B&B across the road that cooked breakfast at 2pm...

Hi Tom
I think you should give some of these a go.
https://www.partypoker.com/en/daily-legends
A few of them are freezeouts and I think the others only have one re-entry. There is no late reg, they don't go on massively late and the structures are really good. As an example, I was towards the bottom of the last 50 or so (out of 1,000) the other day and still had 30BBs. A lot of tournaments elsewhere seem to become 10BB crapshoots at the end or have structures so slow they go on until 5am (Stars seems to have hold'emy tournaments that are eother just turbo crapshoots, or go on to 5am, with little at this kind of pace). I think with the Party ones, if you start at 7 or 8am, you are going to be done around 2am if you win. A lot of them are pretty cheap too, plenty around $10 or $20.
I don't know who came up with the structures, but they have done such a good job.
Cheers

Looks like I was drinking at 2 this afternoon. I meant no extreme late reg, not no late reg. Having people rock up with 10BB kills the game, especially in O8.
These are great tournaments for the casual Tighty. You seemed to have some great 08 tournaments too, but they became PLO or bounty hunters not long after I found them.
I wasn't even aware of the added cash, must try and get some.

Reminds me of a local story about when an HGV went off the road and deposited its load into the river. It had a load of tinned food. Of course the tins all lost their labels in the water, so the locals for weeks after would go to the cupboard and shake tine trying to work out the contents. Some weird and wonderful meals were had

The aforementioned Bob Mortimer cooked Paul Whitehouse a dinner of "Tuna and trapped potatoes"
"Why are they trapped potatoes? " Whitehouse asks.
"Because they're in a tin'.

Happy Christmas Kev.
What a year! If we could have had a sneak peek at one of this week's news broadcasts last January and seen reports of closed borders, masks, lockdowns, thousands infected and hundreds dead evdryday what ever would we have thought? It's like living through a bad movie.
Thankfully though, my lot are all OK so far as I hope yours are.
All the best to you and yours.
Be lucky. (Well let's face it you've already been lucky so I'll amend that)
Stay lucky!
