Think you mean Harvey (iraise)

Harvey was still here in the summer, and doing well, from memory.

So had a really up and down few months at the gym. My main aim leading up to my 30th was to be as lean as I could which I fell a little short of as the old social life became a little too hectic, but I am still really pleased with the results. Hit some lifetime PBs along with way too.

2x6 DL at 180kg (around 83kg BW) was the highlight although i blacked out a touch at the top (stopping me getting the 3rd set) and ended up straining my rotator cuff a little, which meant 3 weeks not being able to do any pull movements, but managed to still get in the gym and work round it.
Also managed 3x12 with the 40s on the flat bench, and again that didnt feel that hard either.
Built up to pull ups with 18kg for , but those have taken a back seat
Yesterday managed 3x8 60kg for OHP which again I think is a lifetime PB.

So so mad to think I can do that now, and other than a few days hasn't taken that much out of me. Even tentatively got back into handstands.

How is everyone else getting on?

I read about your achievements - and I wonder. You really have done a lot, and achieved quite good results. Bravo! Way to go, and may everything be great!

Did you take any medications or only on willpower?

Oh dear....

Next up Spurs (a) and City (h).

I'll be staggered if he doesn't revert to a low block, counter attacking plan against City...

You forgot Atalanta (a). 

I’m not sure we have the personnel to play that system effectively…

I’m holding faith in OGS, but it starts to feel more difficult. The sad truth is that while we were out chasing Sancho, we forgot to look for a proper DM. Varane may or may not be the CD we need alongside Maguire, but Lindelof and Bailey definitely aren’t.
I yearn for a return of Vidic. Tbh, he’d probably improve our defence even now.

Oh, and I wouldn’t shed a tear if Pogba never played for us again.

Do you think that Pogba is no longer the same and his time has passed?

Looking good for a 3 way title race which should be fun.

City now playing v well. Bernardo and Foden comfortably the standout players so far. 
Foden is special. The only unkown now is his ceiling.

Would probably help if Pep didnt keep trying to convert him into a centre forward. The lad is brilliant at a lot of things but a natural CF he is not.

Maybe he is eager for that position himself, and nobody wants to turn him into a center forward.

An old poker friend of ours!

From this article:
The Gambling Commission...:“We do not consider it necessary to intervene to prevent some players using technology to gain an advantage in terms of speed of information, provided it is clear to all players that this can be done.”

Why not develop this idea and make all players aware of such opportunities?

There are still people who imagine it is a good idea to back to lay or vice versa and leave blind bets in the market, but it's not anything like the volume from past years.  There are some who study form and wait to bet until the early stages of the race, to see how it is developing - they are only a couple of seconds behind live, obviously at a disadvantage, but not necessarily terminal.  But the increasing lack of liquidity makes this a less attractive as time goes by.

I think they only way forward is to stop the 1 sec delay on bets going in the market.  The casual punters will get what they click on rather than not getting matched unless the market has moved away from them.  Whether the bots that operate in the IR market can still make a profit without cancelling bets before they are taken is the issue that vexes betfair (so the rumours have it) as they would maybe leave the market further affecting liquidity.

I doubt they will ever turn off the one second delay. Unless they turn off online betting, i.e., don't use any networks to accept bets. Otherwise, how do you avoid the natural delay?

Are there any other tournaments you can play?  If not, I wouldn't chance their customer service.   I'd just suck it up and play tonight over spending several hours trying to explain why they are in the wrong and getting nowhere. 

I'd still far rather play there than Stars.  Stars seems to only run unbeatable daily O8 games these days above micro buyins.  4 entries, hyper, ultra late entries or bounty hunter crapshoots.  And when I say unbeatable,  I don't just mean for me.  Any skill edge disappears if they allow teams to enter with 8bbs and effectively let them choose seats.  Wish I had come to my senses sooner.

What a nasty thing you noticed, and I was wondering what was wrong with these stars. I couldn't tell you exactly what was wrong, and then you described it. Thank you.

I was there a couple of Sundays ago and they also had 50p/£1 cash games running. 10% rake whereas all the others were 5%.

Decided to make some extra money on the rake

It actually looks so ridiculous that a major poker office was left with no money to pay out to the players. Going bankrupt, huh)) They must have put that money somewhere, but where is the question. Maybe they didn't share it with all the people who made the accusations?
