Promised my daughter would take her when she was 21 so we and Mrs Eck will be there from the 30th May till 6th June. If anybody sees me you don't know me...  So close! Probably a good thing, doubt you would keep up with the Mrs never mind the wee one. You lads must be getting old now... Yep was a bummer to see your dates, I had just booked our flights a few days before. Would have been nice to cross paths.

Season Greeting to you all, It's been great reading the latest raft of posts from the "old fella", and I don't know why, but I looked at his Wiki page, and I have to say what great read of fiction it is; so do we know who's responsible for this?: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Kendall_(poker_player) If you haven't seen it then enjoy. Dave & Sue Great work whoever is responsible, I assume it was just copied from his linkedin bio.....  Blimey - good to see you here James. Life OK? Hear anything from Mole? Hi Tony, still pop in now and again to keep up but as you know was never a big poster. Life is going good, had a crappy few weeks when my daughter had the virus which wasn't much of an issue for her health but Debbie is highly vulnerable due to a lack of immune system so it was a worrying few weeks. Luckily, we have plenty room for us all to isolate and keep safe so we got through it ok I just cooked for a fortnight and left plates outside doors  Mole is back in Scotland staying with his folks. Unfortunately his sight had deteriorated and he was pretty much blind for quite a while. He came back and they have operated a couple of times with not a lot of success but he has got more ops planned and has regained a little bit of vision. They are working on the eye that previously had no vision and he is going to need a cornea transplant but as he has no iris or lens to hold it in place so they need to make a fake plate for that and they also will hopefully try to put a lens I the other eye too. Caught up with him a bit over the holidays as he can see enough to reply to messages and he is hopeful that if the ops go ok he can get himself back home to Thailand. Hope everyone is keeping well.

Messrs Evil and Bopkin. Have to say I'm very impressed with the way you are getting on with this and protecting your employees and companies as best you can. Sure this was never part of any continuity planning you might do. I can't quite imagine the underlying stress this must have caused. Really good luck fellas and hope Yr companies go from strength to strength when things are normalised.
+100 Top blokes, and look forward to eventually sharing some beverages once we're allowed out of the country  More likely for me now. I wasn't joining Matt and James in July due to the imminent mini Bopkin, that would have been a push even for me. November was looking likely for Matt and I, but the way things are going I can imagine that not happening so ...... Ok got this far and 100% yes to this also.

I know tonight was the night where we was all supposed to slap the NHS, but also time to see that folk are still putting their personal greed first too.
Yesterday, I had seen that Jeremy Joseph, owner of nightclub brand G-A-Y, who has 4 nightclubs had posted on Twitter to bemoan his landlords. G-A-Y have a lot of money in the bank, they have the largest and most popular nightclub in the UK.
Jeremy had offered to pay all of his landlords the cost price of each venue. He didn't ask for a payment holiday, despite 200 staff. He just politely asked for rents to be at cost priced, instead of the £402k quaterly amount. They said no and offered him the holiday. By time that holiday is over, they'll owe £800k.
It's essentially a small business. In all of this kind stuff, there's plenty of horrid greed going about too.
I tried to type a constructive post to respond to this but I can't You are just so effing stupid commenting on things that you have zero understanding of. Rents to be at cost price. FML. A lot of what is happening right now has nothing to do with personal greed how ever horrible you think the world is. Only got this far so far but thank fuck you did it Stu cause that is some of the most clueless stuff i have read. Arron you should consider being a management consultant they get paid a fortune for coming out with stuff on shit they don't understand.

Thinking about going for a few days later in the year on the back of a Cali road trip. What’s up with prices on the strip now they seem to have gone insane? I’ve probably not been for 4 or 5 years but I’m pretty sure I always got something for not more than $100 a night, doesn’t seem to be much for $150 plus the stupid resort fees by the looks of it, is that the norm now? Even places in San Francisco are selling crappy rooms for $200+  Depends where you want to stay Woodsey? There should be plenty of rooms $100 or under unless your looking at the top end hotels or just a weekend stay. would take all this with a pinch of salt, worst travel agents known to man = Bopkin and that one with the shiny heid....

I'm aiming to average one tourney a week, so in the same boat  Will mostly be found sat at the head of Claude's Bar in the Nugget, until I move to the strip, and definitely up for drinks. Hope to see you, I apologize in advance i'm not usually that drunk....
