Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

From our client testimonials - "I used to suffer from really bad headaches, since having my first colonic I haven't had one, my backache has eased too."

How far up do you shove that tube?

Maybe you should stick a toothbrush on the end.

The only thing I occasionally shove is my ships into the middle of the table!  The speculum is inserted gently into the botton about an inch. Ask Tighty  he saw the procedure on the telly

It was an unfortunate moment - Vinni told me that Willie Tann had been playing that evening at Luton (I arrived my traditional 15 mins late) but that he had already been knocked out and had gone home.

I was disappointed to have missed him and said "Oh - I really love Wille". There was a pregnant pause and then the table totally dissolved as we all realised what I had said.... I think you had to be there but it was funny.

I'm beginning to realise how all those pauses get pregnant.....

Mateyboy: Somebody has been knocked out already.

Me: Yeah it was Willie Tan

Tracey: Is Willie Tan here?

Me: yes...............

15 seconds later while everyone is looking at there cards etc in silence

TRACEY: OOOH I REALLY LOVE WILLY.

Not the best confession to make to a table full of men!!!!!

My all favourite (modern) company, for loads of reasons, is google.

They actually have a "philanthropy department". Can you imagine that? A whole yeam of folks, whose job, all day, every day, is to give away money.

The head of the philanthropy department goes by the quite splendid moniker of....... Dr Larry Brilliant.

Only in America.

So, after a seriously hectic, but fun, 12 days, I eventually got home on Tuesday morning. I can't really remember where the days went, but it's coming back to me now, slowly.

I did the Sky Show on the Thursday, drove up to Luton Days Inn, stayed over, then flew to Waterford on the Friday morning. After a hectic 4 days there, we flew back Monday night, I "lost" my car keys & had to stay in Luton overnight, & as it was early afternoon by the time my car keys resurfaced, instead of going home, I went straight to Walsall for the Midland Masters £300. Daft, I know, but it was the only Event of my favourite Fessie that time permitted me to play.

Wednesday was "recovery day" at home, got to meet Angell who had the sulks, & Thursday I was back on the road, down to London, to do the Sky Show on both Thursday & Friday evenings.

After Friday's show I drove straight to Birmingham for the Virgin Weekend, & that was pretty cool. On Monday morning we filmed in 'Brum for Poker Week, then a dash down the M4 to Sky to record some "Hands of the Week" for "The Club" in the afternoon, followed by the Show in the evening.

Straight home to Derbyshire after that - via the Luton Cash-Game, due to a Tom-Tom malfunction - & Tuesday, after getting up mid-afternoon, I started to tackle a horrendous e-Mail backlog. I spent 10 hours doing that, & was in a foul mood when I finished, with a splitting headache.

Tonight, I go to DTD with a Poker Week cameraman to film some Interviews with Rob Yong & Co, and I am doing three Sky shows on the bounce - Friday, Saturday & Sunday - all in different Roles, as Analyst, as a Guest on Players Night, and finally, in the new Sunday Showdown, where I have to try & emulate my last performance when I luckboxed winning The Open as a Guest.

Next week is a bit quieter, Poker Week at The Vic on Monday, the Sky Show on Thursday, & Paris for Poker Week & the Euro Poker Awards on Friday & Saturday. Which, bummer, means I miss APAT in Manchester, my second successive absence from an APAT Event. I'm not happy about that, not at all, but my luck was bound to run out eventually, & date clashes are, while annoying, one of those things I can't control. I feel so bad that Des & Rich carry so much of the APAT load, & I've apologised, but I still feel bad about it.

OK, I'd better get the details filled in - it's been serious busy, but I've had some great fun on my travels. Prepare to be bored by my tales.
