Don't be daft. Art is pictures & stuff like that.

I shout out the word "Keats" to every non science question on University challenge, it comes up once a series guaranteed.

You can all piss off. I'm not biting.

Ha!

Honest, Tom, it is a true story. I saw reference to Shelley next door, looked it up so that I could give a reasonable reply, & chanced upon that Poem, which, unlike most poetry bollox, I could at least understand.

Even without that, I Wiki'd his life story, & he was quite some bloke.

I think you are just worried thgat my Diary is taking the cultural high ground these days. We even had big number things here yesterday.

Not a classical music round goes by where I don't apply the simple test of:

- loads of violins: Vivaldi
- loads of harpsichord: Bach
- loads of noise generally: Wagner.

Any chance of a piccy of the new watch strap?

Keats has a blue plaque erected near edmontons finest kebab shop.

That's as far as my arty knowledge extends to.

Church Street, Edmonton?

[celtic]

That's the one. Peters is on Winchester parade, which is off church street. If you fancy some fine dining when you're next in Edmonton.

I have not got it yet hector. Someone is buying it for me as a gift, but I should have it today.

Vegas WSOP Hotel Rates.

Thank you for all the comments, help & advice.

I'm still not 100% sure I can be there, but the weirdest thing happened today - I went back to look at those ridiculous Rio rates, which, if you recall, averaged $270 per night, compared to the usual average cost there of about $110.

They are quoting these prices now. They are in 11 night periods as you cannot book longer Online, but once there you can extend easily.

An average of $75 per night during the WSOP Main is a great deal imo.

So that is MUCH better.

Those are without any possible WSOP or WSOP Media rebates.

Ooh, the temptation.....

Alternatively, I could always stay at The Gold Coast, I think Neil said it would be arout $1,500 for a whole month.

I dined there with Jen Mason & Andy Black the year Andy finalled, & I seem to recall having breakfast there every day with Jen, when we finished Updating, it was $5 for a monster brekkie. Think I ate brekkie there with Methuselsah 7 or 8 years back, too.

God, I so want to go back this year.

I checked the rio 2 or 3 weeks ago and am sure that it was only $200 for those first 2 nights, now it looks like it is more than double that.  Looks like I was a bit dumb to not book it then.  Will have to try and book something later today, maybe the Palms.  Cheers

If you have not booked, now is the time.
