Only just spotted the news about Tom, so am relieved that it was a 2 minute wait for the update where he'd replied directly, rather than the original one of several days.

Hope the recovery continues, Tom, and that you're back to full health and on the golf course again soon.

I read about that case in The Racing Post a few weeks ago and it seemed pretty clear to me that Spence was freerolling the other guy and that "George" didn't really exist, so I'm pleased to hear that the judge saw it that way too and ruled accordingly.

Get well soon Tom.

Thank you all. I really appreciate your messages, it's unexpected and very humbling.

I will do a proper update once I get my head around things. XX

Good luck on the recuperation

Unlucky on the hospital catering

I had some surgery last year at the same hospital that I worked in the kitchen of many years ago, and their catering has vastly improved.

I imagine someone high up in the health authority has been convinced of the rehabilitative benefit of excessively good nutrition rather than meeting minimum requirements.

It's a shame that this isn't a bit more uniform across the whole of the country.

Get well soon Tom

Oh my, I miss a couple of days and the wheels fall off a Blonde lynch pin. I'm sorry to hear your news and I hope you'll be back to normalish very soon.

Looks about right.

Welcome to the club Tom.

It does, I hate taking tablets etc I had to have 2 cups of tea at the same time at one point one for knocking back the meds and another to sip and enjoy.

F'kin middle age huh.

quelle surprise

won the warm up for 43k and SCOOP number 6 of the series

A poker related one to report today, as David Sklansky has died, aged 78.

More famous for his books than his achievements at the tables, especially The Theory of Poker, which was something of a revelation when released.

His reputation suffered somewhat in later years, particularly with his connection to the Brandi Hawbaker dramas that led to her suicide.

Given that I have a stack of his books within my collection, I thought it was worthy of a mention.

Silent reader, but always enjoy your life musings. Apart from the Jeeves Diary, yours is number one on here.

Speedy recovery and good luck remembering which tablet to take when. Oh, and try to rest up a bit and take it easy awhile.
