Hey blondites,have been sorting through my 7" singles and i have 5 boxes (approx 2500) that i no longer have room for.
Mainly Pop from 1960s-1980s in varying degrees of quality , mostly VG.
If you fancy selling them on Ebay or if any of you have children or Grandchildren who are getting into vinyl and would like to give them a boost, hit me up.
No charge although you will have to collect NR19
Merry Christmas
Boo
Surely worth keeping hold of them and finding some form of music shop that buys/sells vinyl? Get a few quid in the sky for a nice summer jaunt somewhere if nothing else? I've got about 100 bottles of fragrance to do the same with, but posting/packing stuff is so much agg for me. I think I'm going to get my friends' son to sell them for me, and we'll just carve up once they're gone  Happy Xmas, mate!

I've been collared a few times at restaurants where they obviously 'sell' the parking rights to a 3rd party company and you're supposed to 'validate' at the restaurant, but I wasn't made aware of this when entering.
Got them cancelled easily enough with a phone call, as the staff should have told me to enter my reg before being seated.
I'd call the hotel to try speaking with someone and plead ignorance. Hopefully they'll let you pay for the parking retrospectively if you butter them up a bit on the phone.

Excellent post Mr Phil. Thank you.
Agree with Red, much appreciated. Will be useful over Xmas when I no doubt run into someone bloviating about this with no real knowledge beyond what they've seen on GMTV or GB News

Came to Malta this week for some poker/ sun and the promise of being treated to dinner by Celtic. Landed was then harassed all evening, and had to pay for his fillet steak.
Unbelievable!
Hope all is good with the blondes! Still a daily scan of the forum for me.
Life is good! Own business, cricket season was successful and playing as much golf as I can.
Day two of the main in Malta later!
Much love apart from to Vinny
Vern ❤️
Old dog, same tricks!! Got me with that one when I was out there back in 2018  Knew it was coming when he asked for the fillet steak! Not sure his promise of a chicken burger at the Luton G is much of a repayment to me Offering up Luton G as a venue just increases the odds of a freeroll for him

Hadn't been on FB for almost a week, but just hopped on and saw the sad news that Kevin O'Connell has passed away. Was a fixture on the circuit back in the couple years I was grinding live comps. Always good craic at the tables and was Supernova Elite at the bar  RIP Kev, no doubt dusting off the JWs up there already!

No!? At Birmingham he arrived late, & he literally went to every table, brandishing his Trophy, & telling everyone how he won it. Then went round again & told everyone he would use it as a card-marker. As it happens, the event was part of something called "PLO Masters" which, loosely speaking, he "organises". In truth I fancy Party organised it, he just added the Title. Here, take a look... https://www.plomasters.com/Incred Better Understanding in Only Two Hours
A small trial session was held in Tallin and one participant, Olivia Lindquist, finished an impressive 4/197 in her very first PLO Tournament, which was fabulous. She stated ‘The session gave me a much better understanding of Omaha and developed me as a player in only 2 hours! I didn’t know how much you can actually learn in such a short time, I really didn’t! I learned how I should play in different situations and applied that learning in my first ever PLO Tournament that very night.’
JJ would also encourage anyone interested in Omaha to play the Half n Half event at 5 pm on 13/10/22. This will be a level of each game (NLHE/PLO) and is only €125 to enter. The only way to learn, apart from the PLO Masterclasses (!), is to play and give it a go.
The cost will be only €50 per session and is payable in cash to JJ, prior to the session. The places are strictly limited to 6 and will be on a first come, first served basis. Please email info@thefestivalcom.wpengine.com to book your place. Alternatively, you can send us a pm on https://www.facebook.com/ThefestivalOG As an introductory bonus, The Festival is also offering ALL participants their Tournament Fee back for the PLO Tournament of that day. So, if you attend the class on 11th October and then play the PLO Masters at 5 pm, JJ will give you back the €25 Fee (on production of proof!), which is 50% of the cost of the Class. We are just so nice!

Bumped into this young lady last night too.
First knew her 20 years ago, when she was a Dealer at Luton. She's a big noise at Party Poker now. I'm so proud of & delighted for her. Girl did good, married now & everything. Her hubbie who was also there seems a great guy too. Very very happy for them.
We chatted for a good while, & mostly just abused Fat Vinni.
Sounds a great night, especially the last part!

I thought that was where it was being moved, and it would be ideal for the food court, if that hasn't been gutted with the refurbs going on that side of the property. Agree 100% if he wants to play some WSOP events then Horseshoe is the perfect job. Will be a fair bit cheaper than Paris, though I prefer to stay that side of the property. I'm always in a scooter, but obviously use all the same pathways, and it's quite easy to navigate around Horseshoe/Paris during the WSOP, other than people seem to think you're invisible in a scooter I only suggested Wynn as I know they have multiple festivals now and their smaller comps will be comparable to the WSOP ones on the most part. You won't win monstrous figures, but you do know you're going to be done in a day and not hanging around for 3-4 which I presumed he was trying to avoid. Downside is lumping up the expense costs a lot staying at the Wynn, though I know they have the 'poker rate' that brings it down some. Think the most sensible would be WSOP/Horseshoe, as you say. Jump into a few mixed events and those won't be as manic as the colossus type NLHE ones. Then you get the cheaper digs, and to do some bracelet hunting
