I note Phil forget to mention that he paid TWO Chinese Gentlemen in TWO toilets within half an hour. We could not keep him out of the Gents.

My lips are sealed.

Well I left a number of avenues open to misinterpretation there. I think "we could not keep him out of the Gents" should have the word "toilet" appended.

I have been thinking if anyones bank roll is a bit low, just dress smart and hang around a toilet and offer to to turn taps on etc must be good for a few quid each night. After all we assume that these guys are supposed to be there, but for all we know they have just walked in off the street.

No, no, not at sall. These guys are qualified, highly-trained Toilet Attendants.

"Good Evening Sir, anything I can do for you?" when you arrive.Then they shake it for you, turn on the tap, squirt some liquid soap on your hands, followed by a proferred towel, & they turn off the tap, taking care to rattle the tips saucer as they proceed. Top quality toilet attending.

I dare not attempt a number 2.

  welcome to blonde.

Normally have to contact the casino direct.....I'm off to Sportsman later today to register, as I think it will be oversubscribed.

NB...already.43 runners out of 149 for the first online sat on Sunday, as of now.
