Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

Your package...it doesn't seem too clear if it includes any bonus tournaments that you may or may not play.

I just had a look at Mere's "Terms & Conditions", & I think your question is covered by this?


tikay has published the schedule but it will almost certainly change (within limits).  It's possible (although I think we can all agree that it's unlikely) that tikay might make day 2 of some events which may require a rejig of the schedule, for example.
Last year tikay effectively free-rolled some people as it was impossible to get confirmation of whether they wished to be involved before the events. This wasn't fair on people who explicitly committed money before the additional events.
Any money invested this year will be converted into a % of the final package.
I will ensure that no liberties are taken - i.e. that the final package is within 20% of the proposed schedule above. If tikay enters the "One Drop" then it won't be included in this schedule.

I believe that Mr. Channing was pulling your leg.
He may have been alluding to an infamous Facebook staking "thread" that, I believe, offered the tantalising hope of some "bonus tournaments" to sweeten the deal.
If you decide to charge 1.3 in future you may wish to consider it.

FML. I say, FML. I fall for it every damn time.

Would not be so bad if it were not Lord Grumpy, the bloke who once offered to buy my action @ 0.4.

Tosser.

Back to the Staking, with updated payments position, & a Tourney Report from Saturday, shortly, but for now, I must revert to type, & report some non-pokery stuff.

On yesterday's Desert Island Discs, the Castaway was Alison Moyet. She is a sort of singer.

I don't enjoy her music, would not listen to it if you paid me, but I don't dislike her as a person, suppose I'm neutral really.

She did a very odd thing lately, she wanted to divest herself of years of "baggage", so she took her Computer to a shop, & asked them to completely wipe the contents. 20 years of e-Mails, songs she wrote, diaries, everything. She also threw away all her Gold Discs, & celebrity memorabilia. Not quite sure what that was about.

Anyhow.  

So Miss Moyet & Sue are chatting, & Miss M says "I'm actually quite remarkable".

At which, there was a sort of pregnant pause, almost a sharp intake of breath from Sue.

Alison is certainly not a chest-thumper, she is very modest actually, so to describe herself as "remarkable" sat a little odd.

Alison then explains, thusly.....

"Yes, remarkable. I mean, I was in the public eye, a chart-topper, so a lot of people discussed me, & made remarks about me".

So remarkable (or perhaps "remark-able") was being used in a completely different context to what I'm used to.  

I wonder if that is a correct way to use the word?

With Mr. Channing generally being such a smart cookie, I assume that he must have recently come into a large sum of money to make such a generous offer.
Did you take it?

Think it was about 7 years ago, I'd just interviewed him @ some gaff,  & I tried to catch him off-guard, "you are the only person who has never staked me".

"How does 0.4 interest you?"

Umm, I'll get back to you.

"never to be seen again, may as well have burnt it"...

You'll have to be more precise I'm afraid, there appear to be several payments with that reference.
