What a star!!

Sorry Ding but when rhythm was being handed generally your average Jewish male was at the back of the queue.......and anyway if I support this **** they will do it again thus cutting down on my rare opportunities to play!!

Salsa night is on Monday 23rd August i just had an email about it ... might have to put a comp on that night now

Only a matter of time before the card room goes imo.....they could easily door it off and turn it into a night club

One thing to bear in mind when leasing. Sometimes it pays to lie about your annual mileage.
The key is to know what the excess milage penalties are.
For example on my last Honda it was cheaper to put down 10k miles p.a even though I knew I was going to do more than 10k miles because it was cheaper than getting a quote at 15k.

Always know the excess mileage numbers and they change from car to car

Great News - what a little fighter x

This!!!

So where to begin for this week’s tale from the tube. Where indeed. Every journey to this point had been pretty much a pleasure. No real delays or problems. Then without warning on the way home a few days ago it happened.

“Fire at Hendon no trains beyond Hampstead”

Sat on a train that had just left Euston. Sat patiently. Calmly. Sent myself into a deep relaxation and just let the rest of the world get upset. Upset they got. The hotter it got the more upset they got. I have often wondered why we all get angrier when it is hot but I am not curious enough to go and look on Wikipedia.

Eventually the train pulls away but now instead of going to Edgware it is going to High Barnet. So we pull into Camden Town. Now for those of you who don’t know, this is where the line splits. One branch to High Barnet and the other to Edgware. I know all the people for Edgware are going to get off at Camden and decide this course of action would be poor judgement. When everybody is selling you should always buy, apparently.

Sure enough half the train alights onto an already crowded platform. I find a seat and try and work out the best place to get off, to have the shortest cab journey home. Oh yes not for me standing by a bus stop, waiting for an overcrowded bus particularly as I still have some poker winnings in my wallet. I decide Finchley Central is my best bet. I can then get a cab that can cut through to Holders Hill Circus to Mill Hill and then on to Edgware.

The problem with my new plan is there are absolutely no sodding taxis at Finchley Central. No I think they must have gone towards Camden and Golders Green to get fares as soon as they heard about the problem on the Northern line. Well that’s what I like to think. More likely they were in the bookies betting on the evening racing.

So I decide to walk. Now my feet have been killing me and the thought of the walk is not a pleasant one. I cross over Ballards Lane and into Nether Street and find a bus stop that shows there is a bus that goes to Holders Hill Circus and it is due in five minutes. Heart says “walk”. Feet say “bugger off!” I wait for the bus. As I am waiting the most wonderfully attractive woman joins me. She is in a similar predicament. So we laugh and chat the way people do when faced with adversity, and we decide at Holders Hill Circus we will wait for a bus and if one is not due for a while we will share a taxi.

I always find that there is something wonderful about new company. I am just interested in the stories people have to tell, and for some reason people like to tell them to me. Well I don’t have permission to divulge what we chatted about, but the time and the journey went quickly, and from what could have been a real inconvenience the situation turned out to be a lovely experience.

The 240 from Golders Green to Edgware duly arrived, whisking us both back to normality and routine but just for half an hour, two strangers having a similar traumatic experience rose above it and made the most of an opportunity.
Although we can’t always control our lives we can decide how we are going to deal with the cards we get dealt.

Until next week. Please be aware that that there is no service between Paddington and Hammersmith.

I so want to but it seems unlikely

OMG......I completely forgot that piece of nonsense writing.

Dougie I have PM'ed you

Do what you like and don't give a stuff about what anybody thinks.

There is no right or wrong. Every individual is different!!!!!
I knew there was a reason I never came on this board

better go now!!

I promised to never go on ski's again after totally wiping out a group of small children....I shall leave it to your imagination

Wow, this thread was not a dream?

You often dream about me?

I am surprised that you even asked this question

I'm intrigued as to the answer he is hoping for

The Asian Lad won that, George was 2nd, me 3rd, Western guy 4th, & Edna 5th.

However, George then claimed "victory", as he said he had most chips when the chop was agreed, & he insisted on being credited with 1st place.

Western Guy was not fussed what position he was given, & he took the ticket for 5th. When the tickets were written out, Edna thus got elevated to 4th, & I retained my "official" 3rd place.

sweaty terry will NOT like this

agree .....




sits back and awaits the response from Enfield   

A bigger swindle than the Ferrari motor racing team

What can I say.....the drought is over. As soon as I am dropped from Rockstars fantasy team my world recovers to its normal suck out, fist pumping, one time (all night) best..... I will of course drop down to mid division come the end of month totals....but I don't give a toss I just hated being last.......I may well be back in retirement for a bit as it looks like a v busy time at work. Maybe during my holidays in August I might sneak in a couple of wacky Wednesdays.

It was great to play with OTB last night who has it would appear picked up the curse of the Rockstar. I wish you luck in the next few months.
Also notable people, the judge was back in town and he witnessed my super suckout against a slow rolling aces player. Down to 11 SRAP raises into my big blind and I decide to stick it up him with KJ. Dwell up call. I turn over my KJ off. He smugly exposes Kings. This guy says boom every time he wins a hand. The flop gives me the straight draw. Duly hit on the turn. "BOOM!"
The look on the Judges face priceless.
Good to be on a final table with Tom who was just concentrating on his poker. When he does this it is no surprise that he starts to harvest points.
