Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

any % in the staking left?

How much you after? Have up to 10% for sale.

was really looking for staking someone with the potential of a return

I think Mr Intrepid was suggesting that he has 10% of MY action already, & was desperately looking to offload it to someone......

If he asks for 1.3, make sure it includes the Bonus Tourneys.

Could I get bank details forwarded? Unless you want stars?

Morning Adam,

Details SENT by PM.

[tikay]

Thought I would post this here, as I know you love an Ashley tale, Tikay


Guy I know just posted this up next door -

A lad who works for him had a game at St. James Park today. The team he plays for had all paid £100 a man to go up there and play against another team in the stadium.

For the money you get a 60 minute match with a ref and two linesmen, a buffet, and a stadium tour. Bloke running it all says they are doing 7 matches a day and are booked most of the summer making around £18k per day.

Wonderful!

God bless Mike Ashley, he's a visionary. Many football club Chairmen would do well to take a leaf out of his book.

Hi tikay
I had sent.you a pm a few days ago and you had not replied, maybe you had overlooked it with all this staking proposals going on? 

Morning Craig.

In truth, it was a bit of an awkward one to answer, so I set it to one side to allow me time to consider how best to reply, without giving offence, & attended to the "easy" ones. And then I forgot all about it.

I'll reply this morning, but I'm afraid I can't actually answer the question. FWIW, I get LOTS of people asking the same question, but it would not be fair if I named her.

any % in the staking left?

Morning Dean.

Unfortunately, & quite unexpectedly, it all went - & more besides - within the first 24 hours. Folks must have money to burn.

I hoped to sell up to 50%, give or take a bit, but I think I've sold 57%, so for the time being, I've had to close the thing.

I'll certainly put you on the reserve list though. There are two people (BornToBubble & EvilPie)) ahead of you on the reserve list, for 1% & "tba" respectively.

I assume you'll be heading out to Vegas, along with "Intrepid" & Co?  

Afternoon Boss flying out the day after you..hopefully bump into you along the way..not flying with Mr Intrepid as he is flying via Zimbabwe Airline with 14 stops..its £50 cheaper that way don't you know... he wont fly anything but cattle despite being about 6'3... i am a short arse and cant abide being so cramped for the best part of 11 hours..he must be like one of those curled up spiders down there.. always go prem ecom...experience is totally different..although at the moment im booked in cattle for this trip as it came as part of an Aria package and i cant upgrade until 24 hours before take off.. will teach me to listen to the advice of chinaman buddies..ive told him im sulking if i cant upgrade

Hi Tikay,

I saw that you expressed an interest in Mount Charleston. I went and was very disappointed. Just sat in a long queue all the way up and ll the way back down.

The lodge that you mentioned sort of half way up was terrible. The worst meal I have ever had in Vegas, in fact the only bad meal I have had in Vegas.

I'm not saying don't go but maybe enquire about likely traffic and definitely don't plan to eat at the lodge.

Have a great time

xx

Their next loan signing sorted before they're back for preseason

Tikay - I appear to have forgotten to save your bank details from last year.

Can you ping them over please so I can pay for my share?

Some people think that the French railways are a model to aspire to:
