Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

[NoflopsHomer]

Hey Tikay, knowing how much you love train trips, I'm doing the TranzAlpine route tomorrow from Christchurch so I'll try and put up some snaps for you in the next few days.

Serious question, though I doubt it will get serious answers.

A gentleman, unknown to me (I think) wrote to me today via e-Mail.

I've removed his name & some other stuff, but any idea to whom he could be referring?

"....I recently took a trip to las Vegas and met a man at the poker tables who told me he owned a poker school in England, I believe. I have tried to locte him since coming home and cannot find him anywhere. I do not know him by name but I was hoping that something might ring a bell and you could kindly point me in the right direction. he was Indian but had an English accent. quite flamboyant and likes to wear diamonds. if u have no clue, thank u anyways and sorry for wasting your time..."

Hmm whose that then, is there a prize for who guesses 1st?

Thanks Chris. I'd prefer pics of the train (especially the locomotive or traction unit) rather than the scenery, if possible.

In a somewhat unrelated matter I went to visit my optician today and he says that I have a dodgy posterior.

Next time, sit the other way up.

To give it it's full name, I have a posterior vitreous detachment.

Quite common that, in elderly Gentlemen.

So, what's Ralph's excuse then?

I'm sure you'll love this Chris, we did the Christchurch - Greymouth TranzAlpine. Stunning scenery approaching the west coast. We did a quick 30 min drive up to Punakaiki to see the Pancake rocks (def. worth a look) before heading south to the glaciers. V. jealous, would love to do it all again! Have fun!

Quite so Laxie, Tony is correct.

This is why the optician was so surprised to see someone of my tender years with the condition, in fact he said that it was most unusual.

Tony,

If you were inventing a time of day for eating meals plans now would you put the main meal first on the list or at then of the day?

End of the day Phil, last job, just before bedtime.

It is such a waste of time, eating, when there are things to be done.

Where is this question taking us?
 

I was musing on the merits of eating the way that most of us do with a small meal to start the day, a bigger meal in the afternoon and then a honking great big meal just as we are about to rest in the evening. Does that make sense anymore?

I woke on Sunday and went to the fridge to get some brekkie.Feeling the need for something substantial the only thing I could find was some bolognese sauce that the mrs had made the night before. My first thought was that looks lovely but I cant eat that for brekkie, but why not, so I whacked a bit of pasta on and had spag bol for breakfast. Later in the day I felt quite content and nice and alert so ate a small sarnie in the afternoon and some cereal in the evening, almost a day in reverse eating wise.

So I was wondering if in centuries gone by it just became a habit to eat in the way we do now and that has just stayed with us even tho it surely makes sense to eat loads first thing to power up the body and less late at night when your body is staring to rest?

A little random I know but I  might start an eating revolution!

what you tallking about

i get up around 5pm have my main meal of day with my folks
i have a couple of snacks during the night and my wheatabix or alpen as i goto bed around 8 or 9 am

the perfect way to feed the day

My body clock, and eating patterns in general, is well out of kilter lately. I usually wake up around 7.30am (if I've got Hannah) or 10-11ish otherwise depending what time I get to sleep. I usually have my first meal of the day (toast) at some point between 2 and 4pm, then dinner around 7, and cereal between midnight and 1am.

Sounds perfect Ironside but where are the deep fried Mars bars?

Hey Tikay remember when we were talking about nits and Phil Helmuth came up check this out...

Love it!

Listen, ignore all the nonsense you hear about nits being bad. Nitttiness is not bad, any more than laggy is bad. It's just a "fashion" thing, & right now the fashion is to mock nits. Try swimming against the fashion tide, it's very rewarding. Like your hoodies.

Tikay do you ever get bored of always being right You talk so much sense its actually scary!
