Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

[Chompy]

Are these t-shirts available to buy anywhere?

Before harking back to Vegas, I must just mention yesterday's adventure. A day at the seaside, of all things. Never thought I'd do any more of those, but it went rather well. Took the train, obv, which was jolly exciting. In fact we used 5 different trains. Is it possible to have more fun in a single day?

We went to Bournemouth, & I don't recall ever going there before. Beautiful sandy beach, immaculately clean everywhere, glorious weather, we even had a swim in the sea. 

Away from the beach, the town is a typical English seaside town - ageing, run down & a bit grotty in places. We went into House of Fraser, which, I suggest, had not changed in 50 years. How places like that keep going I've no idea.

The station is 103 miles from the beach, & we walked it both ways. FFS.

I suppose we chose the nut day, as the weather was glorious all day. On the downside, the place was absolutely heaving, way too many folks there.  Queues for ice creams, fish & chips, even (for the Ladies, but not the men) to have a wee.

Not really my cup of tea, but Gill loved every minute, so that ticked a box. Personally, a quiet cottage in the West Highlands of Scotland beats a beach all day every day.     

We even had our own Beach Hut. Proper posh, us.

The place was heaving, look at this.......

Too late son, all sold out.

Back to Vegas.

A few weeks ago, when I was too busy enjoying myself to reply, head completely up arse, MANTIS, who, let us remember, was the one who sparked this years Staking Adventure, asked about Top Golf in Vegas, as he operates a mini subsidiary of the same thing.

Well by sheer chance, one of the booked "Outings" for the Sky Poker qualifiers in Vegas was a night at Top Golf. I did not attend, as I was busy updating, & anyway, I'm an unsociable animal, especially when alcohol is involved.

However, by all accounts, it was THE best night of the entire trop for most of those who attended.

I don't quite understand what it's all about, but I gather it is somewhere between a high-tech Golf Driving Range & a piss up.  

Either way, it was easily the most popular night of the trip.

My admiration for Brad knows no bounds.

Not sure if you have my correct bank details as I think we've dealt in cash over the last couple of years, want me to send them over again?

Hi Adam,

I seem to have your Bank Details on file, so no, we are OK.

The Transfer name is "Adam Dollars", so if memory serves correct, that was only last year, as you & I did a bit of business whilst in Vegas.

Yes, you saved my life that day, thank you.

Monies received here as well, will be in for next year as always.

Think Bournemouth is classed as a city, but I just see it as a nice sized town.

Only 20 minutes up the road from me, and I used to always enjoy a day/night out there.

Bet those huts go for some dough, for what they are.

A single days rental cost me £40. That is not even the peak rate - it's £48 in August.

Well handy though. I did not think i had ever been in a beach hut before, but I just remembered I had one before, in Walton-on-Naze the year England won the World Cup. Think it cost half a crown for a full week.

Cabanas @ Encore Beach Club have nothing on Bournemouth

In addition, I have not paid EvilPie, & have absolutely no intention of so doing. He can whistle.

Seems perfectly acceptable. I never intended to pay you for the stake if you'd done what you were supposed to and lost the lot.

A friend of mine has one a couple of miles down the beach in a quieter area, it's a touch bigger than those shown and you can kip in it and it's done out inside. It's worth £250k I kid you not....

Yeah, remember seeing some advertised somewhere.

Unreal, isn't it.

I had a call from the bank to see if it was legit, but told them you are now being coached by Orford. That is all they needed.

I hope Jeeves got back ok?....didnt hear much off him this trip TBH.
