Doobs thread got me thinking, is there anything weird about you?

The only thing I can think of is perception of money and what I will spend it on....

For example, I’m a complete tight arse when it comes to hotel rooms, I will never waste money on an expensive hotel, absolute waste, just somewhere to put my head. Even spent £40 for a hotel room tomorrow night on company money when they would think nothing of £120-150, wheres the logic in that?  ;carlocitrone; none whatsoever!

On the other extreme I think nothing of blowing the bank on experiences. Sport is the obvious one, I really piss a lot of money away on watching sport, a £500 weekend going to watch rugby or cricket is  :dontask: no big deal. Spent nearly £500 on 1 ticket for a rugby game later this year  :o

I am pretty much the total opposite Woodsey.  I have never paid proper big money to ever watch a major sporting event just wait for betfair to invite me on hospitality but i have spent relative fortunes on hotels for those 'free' sporting days out.  Think i paid £215 to stay in the Old trafford premier inn at the ground once last minute when i got a same day hospitality ticket!

Paid well over a ton to stay iin a total piss hole near to the o2 in London when i went to the tennis for free.

I'll spend on hotels, if I think I'm getting decent value.

Always get a decent hotel in Vegas, because you can get Cosmo or Aria for the same price as the Holiday Inn in Brentford!

When I play poker or travel in the UK, I'm fine in a Travelodge :D

I play one-handed sports left handed and two-handed sports (golf, cricket) right handed, I assume it's due to how I was told to hold a bat/club when young. Trying to play them left handed feels very weird.

Same for me, except that snooker (surely "two-handed") I play left-handed. 

I'm right hand on the baize, is that "left-handed"?

I play one handed sports right handed, 2 handed sports left handed.

Yup.

I remember the late Dave Smith coming to London to play an EPT which was £5K to enter but refusing to shell out the £150/200 pn at The Metropole and sleeping in his car.

I can't get comfortable with anything that is overpriced, be it a 50k car, (not that I buy 50k cars) or a 50p sachet of sauce.

I can't sit with my back to a room.

I can't wee and poop at the same time.

I can't learn to spell recieved.

I write left handed, play snooker left handed. I play golf and all raquet and bat sports right handed. I shoot a rifle left handed but a pistol right handed.


I too prefer not to have my back to a room.

Mmmmmm...incoming weirdness.

The first thing i eat on a plate of food is the item
that points directly north to how plate is placed.
What item looks most like a compass pointing
north.
Dont ask coz i dont know !
Always done it ..

That's so wrong, & you are most certainly weird.

A normal person turns their plate such that the food item they least like - say, in my instance, peas - is at the southern point of the plate, then works north to the best item - potatoes - via the meat & whatever which are situated east & west. 

Don't think I've ever eaten a meal any other way.

Always sit "facing", too, can't have my back to the room. Unless I'm with Tea Bag Tom of course, when I'm forced to yield. He & I went into a Chippie on Brighton front one day, & there was several awkward moments of shuffling & negotiation before either of us could sit down.   

When I'm thinking to myself about things I am going to do, I thinks as 'we' rather than 'I', e.g. 'We need to get some bread when we're out' or 'Shall we out tonight or stay in?'. I assume this is not normal.

It's normal for us.

I sometimes do things wrong on purpose just to get caught even though I know I will get a load of grief because of it.

That's OK, but did you have to turn it into a poker technique?

I've virtually given up on the poker Red. Over 2 years since I last played any NLH and I may play Omaha once every coupe of months.

Haha I properly laughed at this one :)
