Quite incongrous to be sitting in a casino with a wedding on all the plasmas, full volume

Still it gave me a chance to sing along to a hymn or two. This gave me the added bonus of a space either side of me amongst the pen of bloggers

Standing behind Ben Jenkins as he plays a hand from the big blind

Nathan Lee limps UTG for 100

Ryan Spittles makes it 550 in mid position

Charles Denton 1,500 in mid position

Folded to Ben who takes a peek at

 Qc Qs


He has a long think, and folds

Lee and Spittles fold, and Ben will never know if his early cautionwas correct…

LOL anyone who knows Charlie well will know Ben was ahead pre but if Charlie's on form Ben would have been behind on the river once the flop of 237 came.

The very next hand there are two limpers and Ben completes with

5♣

5♠

in the small blind

Nathan Lee in the big blind raises to 525

Both limpers calls and Jenkins calls for value

the flop comes a lovely

9♦

5♦

4♠

Jenkins checks

Lee leads for 1100

Seat six makes it 2200

Jenkins flat calls

Lee passes

Jenkins checks his full house

seat six shoves for 9,000 and is of course called

seat six has

Or if any of them know him?

Fraser Bellamy bites the dust his AK didn't improve against the AA of Harpit Singh. It happened not long after the kiss on the balcony, well we all got excited after that especially Djinn.

Sky Poker GUKPT Satellite winner Sidney Oppong has knocked out Dan Charlton

Ad 8d versus  Qd 9d

He is co-tabling with Deadman, Vinson and Colclough


Colclough tells us there is yet to be a pot of over 600, though with Deadman and Vinson arouind he expects them to take advantage of the passivity soon

Late arrival Mark McCluskey won won the short-handed last night, has just 4 bet folded Kings in Level 2

95 now in as we approach the end of Level 2

Ben Jenkins the early chip leader. It's the suit, I tell ya

Connection down Tighty? Or have you nodded off? Great updates up until 2.07pm...

Apparently Pryan DeMel, 2 x GUKPT winner has been eliminated just before the break. 92 players left from the 97 who started flight 1.

Mark McCluskey raises in second position and Asim Mumtaz calls in the cut off

The flop comes

J♠

9♦

Mark checks and Mumtaz bets 525. Mark calls

Mark check raises 1,200 to 2,750. This is called

On the

After a think Mumtaz calls and mucks when he is shown

9♥

9♣

for the turned full house.

McCluskey up to 20,000

Mitchell Johnson just lost 1/4 of his starting stack with AK, running into Mike Da Bookie Hill's short stack when he found AA. Mike now doubled up to 5k. Don't know Mitchell's chip count now as blatantly lifting this from another forum to help Tighty out.

Mitch Johnson, looking a picture of health

How's Rutter started?

He must be. Ryan Spittles is distraught.

Sky Poker player Redmond Lee has just informed me that he is out after running AK into KK and not improving.....

just over starting stacks

I am updating on www.thefirmpoker.com for the chip stacks and progress of their six staked players in this

The ever popular effervescent winner of this last year, Colin McTaggart from the North West

Sadly recent stress has cost him his hair

Hello to Melissa, George "idumb" White's wife

Apparently the photo I took earlier was horrific. So here is a better one, within the constraints of what the Variance God in the Sky has awarded George, looks wise

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_M7mySuUsa6c/TbrGnAaqs7I/AAAAAAAARQ8/Yw6RWNBTxPE/IMG_6819.JPG)

Blinds are up 100/200 Antes now kick in at 25

Ryan Spittles doubles up, Kings against 8-9 suited.

Off to find out how 8-9 suited got the lot in, and why

Nathan Lee limped, Darren Stanley limped, Ryan 1,200 with KK

Lee limp-jams 7,000 and is obviously snapped off

George White 33,000

He has QQ against John Miller's Jacks

Miller check jams a ten high turn and is called, leaving Miller with 800 only

Ben Nuttall, Nutter5932

26,000 and a woolly hat

(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_M7mySuUsa6c/TbrQsR1uYJI/AAAAAAAARRQ/54oOsBuVTOo/IMG_6822.JPG)

Ben Dobson and David Nicholson

Dobson 22,000 and Lil Dave struggling with 11,000

Still, a nice way to spend your holiday day off school

two local boys, Tod Wood on the left as you can see is doing well with 30,000

APAT Pro league Coventry winner Dominic Rossokh is on 12,000

No seven emerges and Holden is the first of The Firm’s players to be eliminated

Michelle Bricknell knocks out Mike Hill

Hill is short-stacked and has 8-8 versus Michelle's A-K

King on the turn does for DaBookie

Just as well Mouth isn't on the prowl       ....     Lil Dave could've been in mortal danger.

Marc Wright opens for 500,

Chris Kiefert 3-bets to 1350,

Dan Morgan flat calls behind,

Marc also calls.....

The flop comes 7-6-3

Marc checks, Chris 2,000.

The turn is a Queen, check, check.

River is another 7.

Chris 4,500 & Dan Morgan calls

Dan shows Kings which is good

Dan Morgan is now up to 30,000.

update on mitch and simon please!

Mitch 6,325

Simon 20,000


Average is 17,700


82 of 97 left as we approach the long break


Play will resume at around 5pm

After a quick scout around with the camera just before the dinner break Ryan Scott Spittles just busted seat 10 for an 11k pot with 77 v AJ on a Q 9 2 Q  6 board, Ryan leaves for dinner with a smile on his face and a spring in his step.

New power scource found for after the break which is great news as I don't have to ask Tikay to rummage in his manbag for the famous power monkey!

We get underway again shortly

Full chip counts are promised imminently

At 6pm Day1b starts, while 1a completes the final three levels of the day. Should be fun for the blogger.

We'll concentrate on action from 1a til it finishes, and pictures of the new players on 1b

1b finishes at 2am. All good stuff. Except for me.

Aaron Barry is out, raced A-K versus Alan Mansbridge's 10-10  and lost


Daniel Stanway raises, Marc Wright re-raises, Stanway 4 bets and Wright 5 bet shoves for about 14,000

Stanway calls with  Aspades Ac

Wright  Qh Qd

 3c 4d Kc Ad Th

Marc Railtard Wright is out

I'm back! But no, he isn't in danger:there's young, and then there's wrong.

I'm thinking of becoming a Puma instead (older men) as I reckon they'll just be grateful for whatever they get. Trouble is, Caroline Puma doesn't work the same with the alliteration. Caroline Codger-basher? Caroline Coffin-dodger doer?

Ben Jenkins raises in early position to 700

Terry Finn calls in the cut off

George White calls in the small blind

3 way to a flop of

Sunny Chattha is out

With 20xbb he jammed over an opener with 3-3 and ran into a big blind with jacks



Tony Trippier has gone too

He opened with  Ahrt 8h from 9,000

Two callers including David Baraclough

flop the draw-tastic  9h 7h 5s

Trippier led with a view to calling anything

Baraclough obliged and set Trippier in with  9s 7s


Trippier bricked twice and departed to polish his bronze medals

Lolz Jason what happens in Dublin stays in Dublin right? Hysterical time all round though.

I'm steering clear, Walsall isn't high up there on my list of favourite memories. How come you're not playing?

Tighty, go and do a little cheerleader's dance in front of Michelle for me please to wish her GL! Oh and get someone to take a picture as well.

Dan Morgan up to 40,000

Dan Brown is out his AK didn't improve all in pre flop V 77

Sitting next to noactionjack who tells me

"He" pointing to the besuited Rutter "is sitting there like a nit waiting for aces"

Ben Vinson is out. He opened fives, was 3 bet by Wayne Rideout and shoved 5-5. Up against Ace-King, Ace first card out

Just had a funny moment in the cardroom where Alan McLean Table 5 seat 9 went for a walk and ended up in the seat of Gary Lindsay which was table 7 seat 9.

Gary had gone out to use the phone and while he was gone Alan sat in his seat, started playing with his chips, posted his ante. Then Rana Gurnam told him he was sat in the wrong seat.

To which Alan replied "Oops! It's getting late"

George White has just been eliminated at the hands of Darren Stanley.

George holding A-10 which was unable to beat Darren's pocket 10's.

Mo Muse, Praz Banzi, Stephen the Mole Boyd and David Johnson


In reasonably amusing scenes as Johnson took his seat the exhortation went over the PA

"Here he is your 2010 GUKPT Leaderboard winner Dave Johnson" (Ryan Spittles perks up in adoration) "lets give him a big round of applause"

A smattering of applause ensues

The TD persists "A BIG round of applause please"

About half the field obliges. One railbird ASKS FOR JOHNSON'S AUTOGRAPH!!

Not the greatest surprise, they'll get them in lighter than a lot of players (usually hit, mind)

could you please show some of oneway poker team thanks pics

On a flop of 4--5--7 John Miller & Dave Colclough lock horns as they get it all in

Dave......9-9

John.....7-7

The turn and river are both blanks for Dave who loses 15,000 to John.

John Miller now up to 35,000 from 800 only earlier.

Having spent ages hanging on with a micro astack Richard Orford has doubled up. He waited for the very marginal  Aspades  Ac but still found it in him to shove.   Ahrt Qc called him but the underdog Orford held on


(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4013/4251882957_bdaeb36b03.jpg)

Orford doubled up again in the same orbit, sevens against Ace-King

Ryan Spittles opens for 1,400, is called

Ben Jenkins makes it 4,775 in the blinds with Ace-King

Spittles jams for 19,000 with Ace-Queen

First card out  is a Queen and Jenkins is dented to about 50,000

Shared a table with Ben last night, very talented agressive player.

From the day 1b players Nicolas Gavriel's  Ahrt  Qd takes out Joe Grech's  Jc  Jh and now has about 28k after he hit the flop big time

When you get to the 2nd shift, can you have a look for Nick Hicks and Glenn Storey.

Cheers.

day 1a's Senh Man Hung is becoming a force to reckon with using his stack well to raise up the last 4 hands on the trot with no contenders..

A raise to 1,200, called in position and Danny Toffel decides he will play his hand blind, in the small blind, and only look when there is post flop action

I don't know why, I am a mere reporter of facts


the flop comes  Kc Qs 2h


Toffel checks

The raiser leads

Toffel looks

At  Aspades Ahrt

Well played sir

By the river, which pairs the King, Tofel check calls a 3,000 bet and is good

His two opponents had  Jh Jd and  Tc Ts

A reasonable chance of a treble up pre, if he had only looked


(http://zephyr47.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/blindfolded-man.jpg)

Meanwhile day1b have just started their 45 minute lunch break and will return to start level  3 at 100/200. You may even be able to smell the curry...

Mitch is playing cash. Someone isn't happy with him, it seems, from raised voices on that table

Off to find the Deadman count

Simon Deadman is on just under 30k

Day 1a players are now on the last level of the day, meanwhile Ryan Scott Spittles aka Scotty77 is all in, hand to follow.

Rutter and Morgan clash

Dan Morgan opens to 2,000 in mid position

Rana Gurnam calls

Stuart Rutter makes it 10,000 from 23,000 in the big blind

Kevin Williams gets KQo in against Peter Sharples' KK

split pot!


----------------------------------------------------------

Dan Morgan OUT

Morgan jams Ace-Four off unopened in the cut-off

the small blind calls with King-Nine

the board runs out Q-10-x-x-J

Morgan has been unlucky today, and that river pretty much tops it off

Craig Burgess up over 50,000

Has  Ahrt Ad against  Aspades Js on  9s 5s 3c and holds 

Interesting ruling, though I hesitate to post it


Cut off raises, small blind shoves

Cut off is deciding and the dealer mucks the small blinds hand

the small blinds hand is mucked into the mucked cards


the ruling is that the cut off wins the hand, for the matched bet

but the small blind got his extra chips over the matching of the initial raise, back

Scotty has  Aspades  Qs his opponent has  Ks  Js and is short stacked

The flop and the turn are all red A K Q J  and the river is a black 10 so it's a straight for both and a split pot.

sorry for the delay, someone pinched my power (we are alternating plug sockets with 2 other sites)

Meanwhile the day 1b'ers are back, there are 70/78 left and they are at level 3 and the blinds are 75/150.

Sounds like a decent ruling to me

could youplease get pic and chip count on brian hitchcox

He raised with A-6

Colin McTaggart jammed the big blind for 58,000

Deadman heroed his stack off, was surprised to see he was ahead and held to double

Tod Wood 2,400 in early posiition

Derek Miller all in for 25,000

Sadan Turker calls all in for 20,000

Wood passes

Miller  Qd Qh

Turker  Ad Kh


Queens hold, Miller up to 50,000 Turker out

We are nearing the end of Level 8 for 1a, at which point that flight stops for the day

37 of 98 left

chip counts will follow for that flight, and then I will turn my attention to Flight 1b

Except that the dealer should maybe lose one finger.

Paul Jackson threw a shortstack in at the end of 1a with J-5 off and was called by Lee Carpenter with A-Jo

Jackson did not hit, and is out


36 of 98 have made it through 1a

can't see him on either player list. If you can let me know please

Andy Miles in 1b

20,000 in Level 3

he went out in the first two levels, so no can do sorry

No idea what that's about...???

No flare ups at all, unless it was someone moaning I was hogging the masseuse ;-)

There there was a scuffle in the queue that formed to get on your table.....

Not that it's a great difference but I was in the big blind!!

Simon Deadman is a lucky face

He 3 bet an open of 2,200 to 7,200 in the big blind with  Aspades Ks on the last hand of the night


The opener shoved  Qh Jc

Simon flopped an Ace, knocked the opponent out and ended on over 80,000 at or near the chip lead

This is Steve Warburton, chip leader of 1b with 44,000

He knocked Ali Mallu out in Level 1

Mallu 150

Warburton 550 with J-J

Mallu all in for 15,000 with A-Kss


Warburton calls, holds and hasn't looked back

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_M7mySuUsa6c/TbsjQD0daJI/AAAAAAAARUA/5dCE9MHNAFc/IMG_6851.JPG)

Jim Reid in the white shirt was down to 7,000

He called a raise in the big blind with  6d 3h

He open shoved  7s 3s 2h


He was called after an inordinate dwell by  Aspades Ahrt

Also good ruck to Scotty the run good fish.

I cant spell today :(

Managed to get my laptop removed from Richard Orfords mitts...and we have an allin and lost a player with this:

I erroneously reported Mo Muse out earlier

It must have been another insanely aggressive tall guy from Northampton

In fact he is on 35,000 and just won a big pot calling a raise pre, calling leads on flop and turn of  Jd 8c 8h 4s and raising on a  2s river


His table with Praz, Jonnyplum, the mole and assorted randoms would be worth watching, except its just been broken. Boo

Hi Richard... any news on Tod and a chip count if still in please :o)

He was in in the last level of 1a. Still waiting for chip counts.

The adage "No sleep til chip counts" has bypassed the GUKPT, it seems

Will kassouf opens for 300 and is called by Anthony Byrne who is utg+1

the flop comes  Kd 4d 2s and is checked by both

Turn is  9c

Will Kassouf checks

Anthony Byrne ships it for 13150

Will Kassouf announces he has his favouite hand and calls

Kassouf shows  9s 2c

Byrne shows  Aspades Kh

The river is  Td and Byrne is out

Ty

assorted approximate counts from 1b

Jerome Bradpiece 9,000

Greg Hunt 10,000

Will Kassouf 35,000

Mark James 17,000

Si Cawley 9,000

Dave Maudlin 13,000

Kuljinder Sidhu 5,500

Mickey Wernick 18,000

Brian Martin 42,000

Steve Warburton raises to 2,000

Will Kassoof, who could have needle with any player on any time and with whom Warburton has been arguing for much of the last twenty minutes, shoves for 35,000

With  Th 5s (editors note, no value in poker anymore)

Most of the time they can't call, a wise man once said, however sometimes they might call with  Ks Kd

As Warburton does .

Kings hold and the Warburton chip loaf rises to the heady heights of 70,000 in Level 4

Si Cawley makes it 600 from first position, Mark James makes the call from the big blind.

The flop comes K--3--5

check, check.

The turn is another King.

Mark checks to Si who bets 600, Mark raises to 2,100, Si moves all in for around 6,000 more and Mark makes the call.....

Si J-J
Mark K-Q

The river is a 2.

Si Cawley heads out!!

Mark James now has 24,000.

Break after 4 levels shortly

This is going to be a long haul, 4 more levels to play tonight and a 3.30am finish. Yuck

Anyway, on with the show. 55 of 75 remain

Steve Warburton is a runaway chip leader

Mark James and Poker Million finalist get two stakcs in pre after a 5 bet raise and a 6 bet shove from Peniket, called

James KK

Peniket AA

7-4-4-3-K

James doubles to 65,000

Peniket down to fumes

Break then

15 minutes fresh air, and to escape the cabarat which is the most aurally invasive I have had had the misfortune to suffer

G Casinos, pah. Preferred it as dingy old poker focussed Walsall

lol how is this karma? reid stations 63o in the bb and makes this jam, maybe the AA was laughing hard and just regaining his composure before calling.

several minutes dwell was pushing it, though...

Update on holzrenholz pls and also nick samurai hicks and mitch 'weightwatchers' johnson

I've seen Rutter is on 39k, what was the avg stack ending from 1a group?

About 35,000.


Still waiting for chip counts.

Karl out six hours ago

Mitch out 4 hours ago

Nick playing the later flight, still in 20,000

Play resumes then

level 5, 150-300/25

Kevin Parkes raises UTG

Ramzi Abbassi calls in the small blind


flop A-7-5

Abbassi leads, Parkes shoves

Abbassi wonders, but calls with A-Q

Parkes 8-6.


He misses his draw and leaves the competition

Stephen Boyd raises to 800

the Button and small blind call and David Maudlin squeezes in from the big blind for 8,000

Boyd folds, but the Button calls with  Kd 9d

Maudlin is live with  5h 7h


the flop gets both interested

 Kh 4h 2d

turn  5s gives Maudlin more chances

river  2c and we lose David Maudlin


44 left in this flight with two and a half levels to go

In this hand Jerome Bradpiece was a 3 bettor with Q-Q and a folder to the 5 bet before the shove

Well played sir

Bradpiece is still in, short but dangerous

I am going to watch a bit of Mo Muse against Nick Hicks, they are tangling, both with above average stacks

Also still in and on my watch list the chip elader Warburton, Praz Banzi and Brian Martin

I pointed my camera at Martin just now and got a scowl of such ferocity that he could have been Lawrence Gosney

James Browning and Jim Reid have just exited

Mickey Wernick 3-bets a Rob Lacey open, from the button

Lacey 4 bet shoves and is called

Lacey shows K-Qo

Wernick "I can beat that you silly bugger, what do you think I am sticking it in with?" and shows A-Ko


By the turn Lacey has four to the flush and Wernick is imploring the dealer "not to do anything stupid"

Wernick's double to 35,000 is compelte on a blank river

Meanwhile the irrepressible chip gatherer that is Mo Muse has gone to over 40,000. Most recently all in on a Jack high flop and eliciting folds from both Terry Mitford, not a man known for folding too often, and veteran Graham Pound

Muse with chips. Good luck the rest of the table

Break after 6 levls of 1b

39 of 75 left

Average 29,000

300-600/50 next

Call call call IMO

But I agree he is super tough to play against even in position

Three chip leaders at the break


Nick Hicks 100,000

Steve Warburton 81,000

Rob Lacey 60,000

How is the Mole and his mate getting on please Tighty?

just make a pair and take your line imo.

Mole 20,000

Sharing a table with his old APAT sparring partner Steve Warburton

Brian Martin 35,000 and he just smiled at me, told me he enjoyed the Royal Wedding and urged me to stay awake. He must be ill

Daz Hickman raises early

Robert Lacey 3 bets

folded to the button Dale Harper who flicks  Ac Kc so i can see it

I can see a hero fold coming. Sure enough he folds

Hickman passes

Lacey shows  Ahrt Ad

A comment I can make is that 1b is a few players apart (Muse, Hicks, Banzi, Mole) tight tight tight

three 4 bets and above I have seen have been Aces, haven't seen a single 4 bet and above with anything else


Anway Harper was so proud of his fold he bounded over like a gambolling lamb to me, and insisted I verbally pat him on the back


It's 1.38am mate, pull the other one

Praz Bansi, moving table with just 8,325, lost no time moving in under the gun.  UTG+1, Nam To, then moved in for over 40k, effectively isolating the short stack with his Ac-Qh.  He was racing Bansi's 8h-8s, but lost, the board coming down nine high.

One table over, Mo Muse was continuing his raising preflop trend, making it 1,550.  His neighbour Fari Badiemansour moved all in for 6,700 more, and got the call after a bit of a dwell.  Muse was the one with the pair in the race this time (sixes) but Badiemansour's Ad-Jh hit on the turn to bump him back over the starting stack.

Mole Boyd calls a raise in the big blind


flop 9-J-K
Check check

turn 2

Mole 2,000, called

river 6

Mole overbet shove for 16,000 into 8,000

Insta call


Mole Q-10 for the flopped nuts

Mateyboy mucks sharpish

Mole 38,000 and back in the hunt

Graham Pound raises and Mike Ellis calls in the big blind

flop 2c-6h-Th. 

Check, Pound bets 2,000.  Ellis raised to 7,500 and then snapped Pound's all in

Ellis: 9h-8h for the flush draw with gutshot

Pound 10c-10s for toip set

The heart fell on the turn - Kh - and the river 8s didn't save Pound

Andy Booth doubles through Dennis Troake

JJ v QQ

Jack on the flop, both all in pre

Last level of the night, level 8

blinds are 400-800-75

33 left

average 34,100

Great updates Rich.

Do you know how Tod went - u prev said he was still around in final level of 1a but doesn't seem to have made it?

still going strong here

nick Hicks 85,000

Steve Warburton 80,000

Mo Muse 60,000

Stpehen Boyd 40,000

Brian Martin 35,000

Mickey Wernick 35,000

Mike Ellis 30,000

Andy Miles 30,000

Jerome Bradpiece 30,000

Praz Banzi 25,000

Afraid not, it was hectic with two flights on the go

APAT wise Martin, Boyd still going strong here

Those 2 are a given! GL to both

Mole Boyd up over 50,000

Boyd led 4,000 on a 5h-Kh-4h flop, then instacalled the button's 16k push, saying, sheepishly "I've got the nuts here, like..."

His opponent showed 8h-9h,

Mullered by Boyd's Ah-3h.

As he scooped in the pot Steven Warburton called "Blessed!" and dissolved into Kindergarten giggles

"Steven - I had the nuts on the flop," Boyd remonstrated in mock high dugdeon.

Praz Banzi 3 bet shoves K-J trying to get raiser Ben Carpenter off his hand

No joy, as Carpenter calls all in for a similar 25,000 stack with Ace King

For Carpenter, it was not the top of the world, but yesterday once more as a Jack fell on the flop and knocked him out

Banzi now dangerous with 50,000 above average

Mo Muse is up to his party tricks again, playing a big draw aggressively against Terry Mitford


Mitford 2200 on the button

Muse 5500 in the small blind

Mitford 15400 4 bet

Muse flats, out of position

flop  5h Jh 4d

Muse open shoves, covering Mitford and is snap called by  Ahrt Aspades

Muse  Kh Th

turn  Ks

river  Jc


Mitford up to 54,000

Muse down under 20,000

Mo Muse gets his last 15,000 in with 6-6

Mike Ellis A-A lying in wait behind

No Go for Mo and he exits in Slow Mo, somewhere to go.


It's getting late

31 left

26 minutes to play


I have been logged in on my dongle for 15 hours 23 minutes and counting

Hard Core!

Lee Taylor raises to 2,500

Praz puts a stack of blacks in making it 21,000

Nam To calls all in

Lee passes

Praz 7-7
Nam A-J

Board 7-J-K-10-Q

Nam wins the flip in a nasty way for Praz to double to 40,000

Tighty that is disgusting!!!

So is that :(

Nick Hicks and Fari Badmansour in a blind on blind battle

Fari raises, Nick calls

flop Q-9-5

Fari leads, Nick sets him in, called

Fari 5-5

Nick 9-10

The set holds and 32,000 is Fari's new chip stack

 :hello:

 :hello:

Insomnia?

Nick flopped four to the flush too, hence getting it in

Play is concluding for today last 5 hands

Thank heavens for that


31 left, 35 from earlier so, 66 or so co ming back for 2pm tomorrow


I am so tired that if Kate Middleton's sister wandered into the Holiday Inn Express reception at 4am and offered herself to me for the evening I would politely decline and prefer sleep.

However, its no sleep til chipcounts, its the Tighty and blonde way


So, I am about to go into battle with recalcitrant GUKPT organisers to get those counts to you asap


Shaping up to be a decent day tomorrow


Dan Morgan has offered to help out with updating tomorrow. Little does he know that "offering to help out" commits him to 16 hours at my beck and call.

Below the belt IMO..as if Tighty doesn't have enough with mouse-hand and sleep deprivation on his plate you go and floppin post Peter Andre? Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick ;)

Much more time appropriate yes?
