Gareth had the best of it for most of the Hu he just kept chipping away had the other quite short then doubled him up with A8 into AQ. Then lots the chip lead when they both turned flushes!. Finished I think two hands later when he ran an A into pocket jacks.

Very well played Nick by the way would have loved to see you two heads up.

Thanks for chance to play really enjoyed it.

On the 3000th edition of Desert Island Discs.

Wow at that, thank you Tonji.

People MUST read that wiki page.

Any Wiki page that includes this is a must read.....



He flew aircraft from Britain, the United States, Germany, Italy and Japan and is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as holding the record for flying the greatest number of different aircraft. The official record is 487, but includes only basic types. For example Captain Brown flew fourteen (14) versions of the Spitfire and Seafire and although these versions are very different they appear only once in the list. The list includes only aircraft flown by Brown as 'Captain in Command'.

Because of the special circumstances involved, he doesn't think that this record will ever be beaten.
 
He also holds the world's record for the most carrier landings, 2,407, partly compiled in testing the arrestor wires on more than twenty aircraft carriers during World War II.

The (slightly) corrected link is......

Interesting quote on the bbc story, that the americans gave someone the job to beat his carrier record he got to 1600 before he had a nervous breakdown!

I do have a soft spot for crows, they get a bad press (the full name does not help).

Used to get woken up by a family of crows when we lived in Somerset as they would sit on the neighbours fence and shout until we came out and put food on the bird table when they had young.

Animal photos of the week: A murmuration of starlings (PA) http://fw.to/oSNN6qP

Seen a few of these over the years at Slimbridge but the funniest sight was a group of crows who appeared to look at the starlings and think they were showing off so up they fly in quite a tight little group (which is unusual for Crows) looks quite impressive until they decide to do the first turn. Then we have crows flying off in all different directions some appear to notice that they had got it wrong and tried to regroup others just give up. Those that regroup are all dispersed after a couple of more turns. Starlings must have been in hysterics.

Still also impressive to watch an individual crow taking on a buzzard they don't give up and the buzzard is not quick enough at flipping over to catch the crow, could watch it for hours.

Thanks for running, still amazed at Cyndi Lauper's age!
