Hope all u re entry haters support Dtd next week

It will take time though.

A lot of those who have been put off from the re-entry, etc., will not be eagerly watching DTD for an announcement from Rob that things changed. Poker players, especially the "fishy recs", are creatures of habit. Once that habit is changed for whatever reason, it can take a while (if ever) to get it back.

There are lots of recs who have stopped coming, probably also realising that the comps have been costing them more money than they wanted to spend. Getting these back is going to be difficult. Much easier/cheaper keeping an existing customer than attracting a new one or getting an old one back.

Poker players (again I mean the recs) are lazy and want an easy life. Confusing re-entries, stack forfeiting, etc.,  all make it less enticing and possibly to many it seems liked less fun. Rightly or wrongly, many will perceive that there's less value (both short and long-term), sand perception is everything if these recs are going to be coming back time and time again.

Bold move by Rob, but ultimately the right one I feel.

Oh, irony from the "Blairite", Rob Marchant.

Fig Rolls- UUUURRRGGGHHH

Just like marmite!

Ouija boards.

Fig rolls, they're like marmite. Sort of.

But if you do like them, they're undeniably moreish. This photo shows the minimum number of fig rolls that can be eaten in one go:



They date back to ancient Egypt apparently.

Sitting on the hot radiator pipes at school would have you piles.

I didn't even know what piles were.

Yes, but you wish you hadn't sat on those hot radiator pipes now...

Had someone telling me "we've all wanted immigrants out of our country for ages, what's suddenly changed?".

He then continued to say that his opinions weren't informed by the tabloid press.

A post on Facebook from one of my friends


Just a little thought for do gooders. I and my mates served in Bosnia 94. We done more than enough escorting food and humanitarian aid through the country. We kept checkpoints secure so aid could reach the vulnerable. We saw the aftermath of a country wrecked and ravaged by war. Kids we saw with nothing no clothes on there backs or food to eat. I am fed up to the back teeth of do gooders and lefties. Go and do a  tour in a ravaged land. And see how the British army is the best at hearts and minds and helping the poorest of the poor!


I was also in Bosnia in 1994
i thought it said perhaps why I felt quite strongly

I am not sure I understand.  Why are you fed up of people wanting to do good?  You have previously done good yourself.  I just don't follow the reasoning.

Of course I want to do good and help these people but all the do gooders come out the wood work when something is so prominent in the news
They actually do fuck all (most of them) to help anyone apart from type on a keyboard that we should be doing something !

For what's it's worth I am working with a charity soldiers of the street ....to actually do something
These people actually do nothing but put people like me down for saying what the vast majority think but won't say .

Lee, I said the same on Facebook that I do believe your heart is in the right place and you are genuinely concerned about the plight of homeless people in the UK, especially those who are ex-service.  That's a thing to be proud of, and something I support as well.

But then you criticise others for having an opinion or a stance on the refugee crisis; those who state that the UK government should do more, open our country up to help rescue more of these people who are having a terrible time.  I pay my taxes, I live in a democracy, I want (no, I expect) the 'elected' government to do the humane and morally right thing and help these people, these human beings. You seem to make a point that the two are mutually exclusive and if a refugee is brought into the UK, it's at the expense of a British soldier who needs housing.  That simply isn't and shouldn't be the case. 

I support (and donate) towards cancer research. That doesn't mean that I don't think that money should be spent on Alzheimer's, heart disease, MS, etc.  Extending the analogy, would I be right to say I only want money and research to go towards fighting cancer, and until that's sorted we shouldn't do anything to fight the other horrible diseases?  Of course I wouldn't. 

You are being utterly ridiculous royal flush!!
A private soldier protects this country that you live in for about 18k a year
A dustmen earns 25k a year
A soldier has to go to war see his mates maimed and killed
A dustmen might get a smelly bin if he's unlucky
A soldier has to deal with the things he sees and does for the rest of his life
A dustmen goes home and has a meal with his family

Of course he should be housed at yes the front of the que

So would a nurse go in front or behind the ex-solider?  What about an ex-heart surgeon?  What if the soldier was foreign, or if the nurse was a daughter of an immigrant?

Of course, none of this matters.  Those with the greatest need should be looked after first.  Simples.

The idea that those with an urgent need are taking away aid from others who have a serious, but less urgent need, is nonsense.  The way it's often portrayed as "A v B", or "A or B", is not only dangerous and divisive, it's also a lie.

I was making a point of how silly flushy was being when he made a list of importance

I was referring to the notion that ex-servicemen will be denied housing because of Syrian refugees.

Reminds me of this:
