I started finding Chris Martin and so Coldplay likeable again after this

[Chompy]

Coldplay are amazing.

Yep. Enough with the Coldplay bashing. Green Eyes is top-ten all-time material imo.

Was talking to Jeff Buff last night strangely enough, we're in the same fantasy basketball league and our teams are against each other this week. Obv my team is battering the yank at his own game.

Interesting point he was making about why he's lost his love for poker, saying he only plays about once a month now as it doesn't do it for him any more.

He said he's a 20 min blind kinda guy and I kinda agree. It's all very lovely that every comp now has deep stacks and lots of starting chips, it was only a couple of yrs ago you'd make a big thing about a comp having 10,000 starting chips, now that's not enough even for a £100 buyins.

I like a good structure as much as the next man but there must be a place for all structures and ranges of comps, where are all the crap shoots these days?!

This. So much this.

I think I've played one tournament less than £500 buyin in the last 3 years for this reason.

I don't want to sit in a casino for 8 hours in a £100 tournament to make the last 4 tables in order to make £40 profit.

The first 6 levels of some side events are completly pointless.

I don't begrudge people the chance to play a cheap deep stack tournament, but just occasionally can we have a £100 - £300 tournament which is wrapped up in 6 hours?

Played with buff a day or two after he bubbled the wsope, was the same weekend Colin mcrae died. I said unlucky, bad beat etc, he replied, not really, Colin mcrae had a real bad beat. Perspective ftw.

Recently joined the elite ' I bought Vinny dinner' club.

Top guy.

Finally I'm in an elite club!

Yeh completely, gonna suggest to Russell at Grosvenor, there's loads of super deepie jobbies but none that would be over in 6 hours....need to widen the range!

Who says old blokes can't play?

Mr Neil Giblin, aka JAKALLY, who must be the best part of 60, took part in a sort of "Cash 4 Points" Challenge next door this month, where the aim was to achieve 60,000 points.

It IS quite a big ask, the first 3 players achieved it a few days ago, & yesterday Neil hit the 60,000 mark. Another dozen or two are on the final straight, but well done Neil, an incredible affort.

Neil will be making a Guest appearance on Channel 865 to chirp tell us about it in February.

For his 60,000 points, and as he is already a "Priority Club Member", he gets a cash payment of around £4,000, I think, which is paid on the 1st of the month. Then he gets his "Full House" Bonus, which is worth, roughly, another £3,000, & includes....

27" Computer Monitor

i-Pad2

3D Television

Bose Headphones

X Box Kinect package.

SLR Camera.

Coffee Machine (wtf?!)

SPT Grand Final (@ DTD) Seat (£330).

And just to rub our noses in it, he made a profit on the Tables whilst doing it, apparently.

He even found time to play a bit of Football with the Team Eureka boys.

Incredible stuff, well done Neil.

A football quiz with a difference.

I wrote to a friend yesterday about a particular footballer, & said....,

".... how blessed are we to be able to see the likes of (       ) regularly?....."

He replied.....

".....(       ) is the perfect footballer (well maybe apart from that Messi chap). Not just the most skilful player I've ever seen in England but a beautiful attitude too, plays with a smile on his face and works like a defensive midfielder when his team hasn't got the ball, I love him......"

Who were we discussing, (easy enough) but for a bonus point, who made that comment?

At last.

Thought I'd post this, to depress you, as you appear to have snubbed me by swerving this weekend's fun at Luton. Tart.

This was taken way before you  middle-aged.

The Tandem Bicycle Hearse pictured below is being advertised for sale @ £4,000, you will probably have seen the article in today's newspapers.  A quality "and finally" article, really.

Most of the newspapers, however, missed the little gem of a postscript to the story.

The Tandem hearse is currently on display at a "Bereavement Services" exhibition in Exeter. The exhibition is called "Return to Sender".

Part A - the easy part - correct, part B, not so much. Tighty is more of a connoisseur of football stadia. He would know what sort of grass is used @ Old Trafford. Poa anna ftw.

Lol, close. I believe Mr Camel recently described Joey Barton in these terms.....

He is a selfish, childish, ignorant dick
