Were you visiting the kiddie ride at the local zoo gatso?

[tikay]

I have decided to slow down, & take more time off to just relax.

Lol.

Oi!

I mean it.

I'm taking 1 - maybe 2 - days off this week, in fact.

You'll see.

VEVO now have their own website for music Vids, & an App.

Can I download it to my HTC Desire, & will it eat up the battery mega fast if I play music vids on it??

You should already have the YouTube app installed by default.
1. Go to all Apps and start the YouTube app
2. Hit the search button / magnifying glass in the top right
3. Find what you want.

or

Downloading the Vevo app, bear with me...

1. Go to all Apps and start the Market app
2. Hit the search button / magnifying glass in the top right
3. Enter VEVO and hit the search button again in the top right
4. The first app will be VEVO by VEVO and it's FREE
5. Click it
6. Press install FREE
7. Press accept permission OK
8. It will say "your item is being downloaded"
9. You'll see a little download arrow in the top status bar as it downloads.
10. When downloaded it will install automatically and the download arrow changes to a tick
11. Press home
12. Open all Apps and start the VEVO app
13. It should now show a scrolling list of "top picks"
14. I pressed play on Alexis Jordan.  It appears to start buffering and showing you some "did you know?" facts.
15. It plays, you watch and listen.

Yes it will kill your battery!

Thanks for the VEVO App instructions, Aaron. Where do I find "all Apps" please?

If it's really going to murder the battery, I guess that's gg that idea. A shame, really.

What if I find a way (any ideas?) to just have the music without the vids? And I guess I'd need some proper headphones?

We had Leg 4 of the Sky Poker Tour over the weekend, & held it in Grosvenor Leeds.

Plenty of peeps seem to knock Grosvenor Leeds, & it ain't DTD by any means, but they did OK, I thought. It's very easy to knock, & it's usually done by peeps who have never organised or managed a Venue or a Tourney, (or organised anything) but it takes some thought to be constructive, or to get a "bad" Venue to perform.

We had 2 Tourneys on the Friday night, both went well. I Finalled in the £50 with a monsta stack, & soon ran it right up to 9xBB with sheer outlandish mad skillz, only for Thewy (eventually finished 2nd) to make a horrific call with K-6 to my genius button-shove.

In the Main, it was Thewy & Barry Carter all the way, with Barry playing "quite aggro" poker.....

He took a com beat in the Final, though. He jammed (his 500th jam of the day), & a (one assumes) relatively inexperienced Live player had his MP3 or whatever on, playing music at max volume, & never heard Barry say "all-in". So he says "Raise" & when the Dealer says "there has already been a Raise" he is held to go all-in.

Barry turns over A-Q, MusicMan reluctantly flips 8-6, & gets there. But all in good spirit.

The winner, Adam Bromley, got £5,000, & a seat to the Sky Poker Tour Grand Final at DTD in Seppers.

Thewy ended up 3rd after looking all over a winner 3 handed, until his A-T aipf got rivered by A-7.

It was Thewy's first official SPT since he signed, & he dialled into "message" pretty much from the get-go. No surprise there. So, he cashed for £500 on the Friday, & £1,750 on the Saturday, so not so bad really.

This Friday he goes to Madrid to play the EPT T-o-C, & I'm undecided whether to go out too, as "comms support". After that, his next Sky Poker trip will be the UKIPT In Cork, next week.

He goes to Vegas mid-June, & will be at The Venetian to start with, then move across to The Rio on July 4th or 5th when the main Sky Poker team arrive, we expect to take about 10 players in all.

I've seen & heard it described every which way, but what is the correct terminology?

Osama Bin Laden was.....

a) Killed?

b) Murdered?

c) Assassinated?

d) Other?

Osama Bin Laden was.....  Now he isn't.

We all expect to Thewy to behave like a gent at these things and that is exactly what he did, but what really impressed me is how seriously took the event. He is an EPT champ about to play in the EPT C of C after all, but he had his game face on in this one just like it was a GUKPT/EPT/WSOP. Probably why he is such a great choice of ambassador for Sky.

Cant complain about my exit hand as it was, after all, pretty funny.

Chomsky thinks it was an assassination - Hitchens doesn't agree with him on much at all.

Go to Madrid - beautiful palace and parks, lots of walkabout things to look at, cable car over the city starts from a pine forest. Great shops, bought the sexiest pair of shoes I have ever owned there.

Sorry - let me speak in language you will understand. They have a poker tournament that weekend. ;-)
