Watched some bits recently and partly reminded me of blonde! Come a long way, great to see you doing so well.

Just been sorting through old emails, and found some blonde emails thought I would take a look around and remember this blog!

Funnily enough start my business "Morgan Branding Limited" in April 2017. I still have a 360 Camera that was being discussed at these points.

Have 8 Staff now, have had up to 13 at points, don't play much poker anymore but was considering SPT this weekend until I realised I cannot do sunday, although that would not be a problem likely!

Trying to get a trip to vegas sorted and considering it for the grand prix as a bit of a goal.

Funnily enough we regularly get "a million of things". We have turned over over a million now, we have 31,000 followers on our company TikTok and look after client accounts that get millions of views a month!

Exciting times, and have loved having my own business and can only but be grateful of communities like blonde that I became a part of, I don't miss poker much but I do miss the people!

Do still keep following many blonde people whether that be on facebook or insta etc, hope everyone is well!

Life is good, eyeing up Vegas for new year not playing much poker now but of live many card poker that you play and enjoying that in manchester. Got a rep as a complete barnpot (probably justified) and it’s been going well because same faces playing the games. 1/1/2 4/5/6 card (always 6).

Concentrating hard on my businesses now, trying to rein in gambling buy a second house pay my staff etc and be sensible! But not always easy.

Enjoy the diary, makes me click back on to blonde have to avoid TFT now to stop me punting!

This tech does not link into google yet sadly.

They were competitors with google but agreed a deal earlier in the year to join up.

Unfortunately it has not happened yet, and we have no idea how long it’s going to take.

Depends on the restaurant really we did it for £250 job for the alchemist. Only takes about an hour and the tech does all the work for you.maybe another hour of post production. But we were trying to get an in for their other bits!

Loving the blog again Dave rarely on blonde nowadays but this is the first thread i vhevked back

What a life.

Wondering if you’ve ever seen this/any experience of this product.

My company has done this tour for alchemist (living ventures) in Manchester

Would love to know what you think, any ideas for how we could use it further in the restaurant world. Would it be of interest to you when you were in the game etc.

We work lots with holiday let’s ( I have a holiday let ) and this is why I am where I am now. Living ventures are hopefully going to have us do this I’m all their restaurants.

Would love to hear your thoughts from the other side of the desk as it is.

+1 to Group Accommodation, we list our gaff on their. You then get to deal with owners direct normally.

We also use a site call Kate & Toms but they are more UK based.

If you think of doing one in the UK pads give me a shout.

I own this gaff www.plascolwyn.co.uk and we are looking at another (also North Wales though) that will sleep 32 in their own beds. - Hot Tubs, Table Tennis Table Pool/Snooker Table/Cinema Room In house chef if needed etc etc gonna be shit hut.

In

£3.2m rent now

Looks like Grovesner pay the vast majority of this as the residential leased out on a 100 year lease at £4k per annum!

£3.2 million is a lot of rake!

so 4.29% yield.

Maybe Rob Yong should buy? Not renew the lease in 10 years

4-5% in London?

Something like that probably be 6-8% up north at a guess?

I think alex may have a point here, when you look at Esports they dont "tone it down" to attract new players they please the players they have and then this player pool seems to grow.

My little brother used to watch hours and hours and hours of Youtube videos where i had no idea what language they were speaking never mind what they were talking about.

Maybe it is time for change, i certainly think the way Doug Polk markets himself has been very impressive, he is possibly (aside from Will Kass) the poker player i see most of now I am out of the game a bit.

Definitely not saving the ball....

Arb you know Tikay is never going to want to bet to these levels, no matter how much the thread has made, that money has gone.

I think most thread regulars now understand BRM and bet accordingly to confidence in bets, i know i certainly do!

Hounding Tikay/Tighty to bet huge sums is a) never going to happen b) silly!

Saying something like Sevilla to qualify at 1/2 should really be 1/4 and therefore should be double max status is enough to make someone like me have a chunky bet.

But why not then suggest the thread has something sensible (sensible to tikay) like maybe £100 or £200?

I get that putting £50 on a 10/1 shot (that should be say 6/1) and £1000 on at 1/2 (which maybe should be 1/4) this in your head is the same but for Tikay it is not. £1,000 is still £1,000 and £50 is still 20 lattes.

Probably for the best.....

Inside that building I think has been done really well as well, good contrast of old and new.

Think those 8 seaters are something like £70k+VAT. I sit right in front of you then or maybe a little to the right I didn't spot you though.

I was lucky enough to get invited in one the other week, really is an amazing experience. How the other half live

Copeland By-Election

Anyone see any odds on this?

Tighty any thoughts?

Labour seat forever by surely this is ripe to be overturned.

Conservative 8/11 last time i looked

what's the angle? market thinks Labour will get turned over already.

just checking that that was what the market thought as I couldn't find a market. Probably no butty in that then.
