Missed opportunity...

The pink shirt from last year would have beautifully matched with those socks and hat!

Valverde looks a done deal as next Barca manager, which is nice. Don't get many 33-1 winners but shame it was only for a tenner.

Silva to be next Watford manager looks worth a stab at 10-1 with BMU or 8-1 with Baldyboots.

Heard he was going to Porto.

Could be mistaken

I think shot clocks are really good, & generally accepted well by players.

On the flip side, I watched the replay of the recent Millions final. The winner, Maria Lampropolus, played as slow as anyone I've seen, but it was a fascinating watch.

Has jakally become DTDNeil?

Are you working there? When did this happen?

Hello Keith. Yes, & last year.

Hi Neil, what is your job there?

GM. Was looking for a job last summer. No intention of it being poker related, but had a couple of conversations & agreed to give it a go.

Cool. Congrats!

Sure you'll do a great job there. Haven't been to DtD for ages, will try and make it down sometime this year.

Be good to see you.  Let me know when you're coming & I will make sure I'm there.

The BMW PGA Golf at Wentworth starts tomorrow, has a decent field & is televised from start to finish.

Be careful of the EW prices - they vary from qtr to fifth, & from 5 places to 7 places.

Full marks to Sky for quarter first 7.

Fifth first 6 for Hills and BFSB is pretty embarassing.  Hills seem intent on following Laddies in to oblivion.

just got to ban religion in this country and section any crazies that believe, easy

Had a similar discussion on Facebook a year ago, if you look at global historical atrocities and see what %  especially in modern days, are committed in the act of religion it's staggeringly low. 

If you were then to filter out the religious terrorist acts not genuinely committed for religious reasons you'd find the overall figure not even making a tiny percentage of a tiny percentage. Is just a metric for propaganda, if not religion then it would be something else.

Is easy to take for granted, but the freedom to believe, think, say and do what you want is one that is relatively new to us...to Just "ban" one of these freedoms would hugely disrespect the tens of millions of people who died for them.

What is the percentage out of interest and what are the categories?  Are the Crusades classed as religious atrocities for example?  ISIS?

Glad this was posted, as it gives me a chance to share my own unsavoury dealings with a good standing member of the community.

Last year me and 3 relatively well known pro gamblers agreed a small wager on the Apprentice (TV show). Without going into detail, I picked a dreadful team but ran unbelievably golden, my bumbling team of idiots constantly swerved trouble whilst better candidates in better thought out teams fell and I ended up winning comfortably. I won about £1000,  £825 was won from the one person, prolly the best team too, you know how it goes.

So a week later I kindly message asking for the money even though I don't remotely deserve it I still won it at gambling so I should take it. I get some nonsense excuse about not wanting to send a bank transfer, followed by a vague message of intent to find some stars $ to send me. I wait another week, nothing. So I message again, and am met with some more nonsense about getting someone else to send the money. I know that in reality he just didn't want to pay me straight away because of what a huge luckbox I was in the bet.

About 10 days later a mutual friend of ours messages and says he's sent the money in full for the debt. A full month after the debt was due.

This is not intended to the slate the guy, just want to share the true facts of the matter and highlight to everyone that if you do business with this person the they might be left to wait for a time penalise you for your good fortune.
Debt currently stands at £0 but I was made to wait an unduly amount of time, and made to feel like I didn't deserve the money I won fair and square on the basis of how absolutely dreadful he ran with his far superior team.

Lol actually had to check the records, I knew you'd done your bollocks deep down but the story was so convincing!
