1. I've seen different rules, but I like the one where you have to show your hand in order to win a pot.
2. Meh. I don't think so. Not sure how you can stop him anyway.

The Marmite ad is one of those that you either love or hate.

Raise to 10K, or have I missed something?

Thursday?
Tighty, dock her wages please.

At least he didn't make it obvious he could see his opponents cards. Oh wait..

Never understand how people can be intelligent enough to hack someone's accounts/pcs and then stupid enough to try and shear the sheep 100 times in an hour. Good grief, how doesn't he make bad calls, get it in bad sometimes- could have done him for 6 figures in a month without suspicion

For every clown who gets caught, there are surely a number who are quietly, gently, rinsing other players.

They've been doing me for a decade.

Make-up's like a loan to a backer. If a horse owes 100K and is a decent player then it's pretty tough not to stick him in a 1K tournament with a 100K first prize. Got to be better than just writing it off.

Not in any way to demean a very grave matter, but it is a sad day when one of only three serious newspapers in the UK does not employ subeditors who do their job without at least a degree of competence.


used his celebrity status to pray on young girls.

They should have used that as a subtle pun during the last Vatican scandal.

Decided to appeal and got it overturned by the parking company.
Yay.

I shake my head

Leave these classics to Twitter. I want to know every motion of my favourite poker player and have it all stored in one place.

[Fortunately in this country just because you park your car in a private car park doesn't mean that you have entered into a contract agreeing with the rules of the car park.]

Ignore them completely. Don't pay.

LOL

It's something I feel really strongly about after getting shafted by them once. Since then I have been a champion of spreading the message for people not to pay 'Parking Charge Notices' (not to be confused with 'Penalty Charge Notices' which you have to pay by law).

Parking charge notices are nothing but an invoice. Fortunately in this country just because you park your car in a private car park doesn't mean that you have entered into a contract agreeing with the rules of the car park.
Also there a laws in this country that states that any fine has to be inline with the costs incurred by the offence committed. These fines (invoices) are ridiculously over priced as such.

I don't advocate going in to a car park and not paying I just don't want to get ripped off if I go over the allotted time.

Are you sure this is true?

Been thinking about this.  Even if they have the law on their side, it's surely going to cost them more than £100 to pursue someone who doesn't respond to them, etc.

It costs them at least £30 just for the keeper appealing through POPLA.

My nephew received a ticket from them after his  car broke down in a local supermarket,he was there for 3 hours till the RAC fitted a new alternator belt. He got the RAC to send him a copy of the job sheet which he forwarded to parking eye with an explanation,they wrote back saying under the circumstances they would cancel the charge.

I didn't use the RAC. My father helped me out and then tailed me home. I do have a signed copy of the destruction certificate though.

[A lot of info and debate can br found, but I think the odds are well on the side for ignoring]

From figures compiled by the British Parking Association, over the last year, 1,800,000 Private Parking Charge tickets were issued. Of these, 31% went unpaid, leaving 1,242,000 paid.

figures submitted by the BPA were that between 2% and 5% of  tickets issued resulted in court action. This equates to between 36,000 and 90,000 of the 1,800,000 tickets issued.

But a Freedom of Information request to the Ministry of Justice shows that, in fact, members of the BPA registered only 845 small claims court actions, of which only 49 cases actually went to a contested hearing in the small claims court.

Interesting stats from the honest john site quoted by Kin.

A lot of info and debate can br found, but I think the odds are well on the side for ignoring.

Instead of appealing via ParkingEye and then POPLA?

Guy, your incident would have happened before the change in the law:

"A new Law from 1st October 2012 (part of the Protection of Freedoms Act) changed liability for parking on private land from the driver of the vehicle to the vehicle’s registered keeper, unless the keeper clearly identifies who was driving the car at the time."

I don't understand the relevance of this. I was both the driver and registered keeper, as was Guy by the sounds of it.
Have I missed something?
