Hi guys, not posted for a long long time. Not even been logged onto to blonde for many months. I still occasionally browse the forum, mainly reading Pleno's blog and a few other bits and pieces.

I still play Poker and I'm still able to beat the games (mtt's <$100 and cash 0.5/1) but I only play part time these days. I make money from property investments/development atm too and hope to get involved in that more heavily the next few years.

Don't really speak to many people in Poker these days. Claypole and a couple of the RTR boys are the only one's I can think of plus a few Skype contacts.

Going to be in Manchester next wkend for the APAT thing for poker and a piss up if anyone's about and fancies a beer?

Anyways, just thought I'd check in and say hi. Whose still about on Blonde?

Yeah, I was lecturing Sport and Exercise Psychology part time at Northampton University but it was only a temp pos was about 6 month. Really enjoyed it but tough to get full time teaching posts in higher Ed without PhD's these days. Glad I don't teach anymore anyways. Things worked out well

Cheers Woodsey. Thought of you actually because you sponsored me to run a 106k ultra marathon a while back  if you remember? Well I didnt run it last year because of injury and was supposed to run it this year but still injured. I love running and it's been a nightmare tbh. Been back running a few tiny 5k's recently but still not right. Hoping to run it next year although i'm not sure my body can cope with that distance so might do the smaller 50k ultra lol.

haha you love that blog. It was good fun and I regret deleting somewhat. Be funny to read through some old tales :)

If I'd have kept it up and kept a small following who know's maybe i'd be making extra income for streaming on twitch or something these days. Back in the day Betfair were paying $800 a month to write that crap!!

Used to be my first port of call with morning coffee :D

Incredible that you were getting paid to write about Ginge's bollocks. WP!

ha, that's so funny. I just cooked and then demolished a lovely fry up and thought for a second about posting it on here to show you all how much my culinary skills have evolved.

It was basically beans on toast with grated cheese and a few slithers of dirty processed ham. Me and my housemate scotch, who i used to blog about a lot ate that crap quite regularly. Living the dream back then. I'm actually quite a decent cook these days. The missus has been training me up. Its all about the seasoning ;)

Hello mate. Still a bunch of sats on Bet victor (and possibly on all mirco-gaming platforms?). Usually get an overlay and obviously the standard is pretty pony. Tiny fields too. I might make one or two last ditch efforts to qualify. The comp is at the end of April

How are you finding the Govts increasing attempts to restrict this via taxation/duty etc? Does it restrict the property pool for profit viability?, certainly does for me
