Wow, leave the country for a few days & come back to an APAT 20 pager! First of all congrats on negotiating a WSOP package as an added prize, securing a first class venue with larger capacity in Aspers & implementing a better payout structure However not to sure about the allocation of seats. Saturday at any time seems a strange choice to me. This weekend I'm in Dublin for the ICHUC, if I wasn't there I'd be at the footy etc. although I do realise that you'll never please everyone with dates & times. I know you got a lot of stick for the "raffle" system used for event 1 but it still seems a fairer way to me. I think Ironside makes a good point about some sort of priority given to the players who support the online events which very rarely get 200 runners even though the membership is over 4 figures. This would obviously encourage more players in future online events on a teacakey note - Tunnocks are on Strike! We can get any deliveries of them where I work! http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/hi/news/5058774.htmldo you have any teacakes?

Just thought it's funny the poster is calling someone a twit for saying something they never even said. As if there were not enough close to the very intelligent original poster 1987 and presidential race would have been a give away.
it is funny. clever you for spotting it and highlighting my mistake. well done and thanks.

More proof (as if it were needed) that dubbya is a twit.
"When George Bush was campaigning for the presidency, as incumbent vice-president, one of his stops was in Chicago, Illinois, on August 27, 1987. At O'Hare Airport he held a formal outdoor news conference. There Robert I. Sherman, a reporter for the American Atheist news journal, fully accredited by the state of Illinois and by invitation a participating member of the press corps covering the national candidates, had the following exchange with then-Vice-President Bush.
Sherman: What will you do to win the votes of the Americans who are atheists?
Bush: I guess I'm pretty weak in the atheist community. Faith in God is important to me.
Sherman: Surely you recognize the equal citizenship and patriotism of Americans who are atheists?
Bush: No, I don't know that atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered patriots. This is one nation under God.
Sherman (somewhat taken aback): Do you support as a sound constitutional principle the separation of state and church?
Bush: Yes, I support the separation of church and state. I'm just not very high on atheists."
I'm Reading "the God Delusion" at the moment and felt this needed highlighting on here.
Read back George Bush's statement again.
Bush: No, I don't know that atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered patriots. This is one nation under God.
Now replace the word Atheist with "Black" or "Muslim" or "Jew". It brings home what a narrow-minded bigot he really is.
