Hi tikay, any chance you could free up 2%? Glad to see you're feeling much better!

Of course Nick - you've been a season ticket holder every year, so I deliberately left a bit of slack for guys like you. There are 1 or 2 others, too, & if they want to come aboard, we'll find a way to sort it. 

I'll amend the Stakers list right away.

2% BOOKED

You gonna be in Vegas this year?

Could I take a late 1% please? I've staked before.

I just tried the $20 in the passport trick upon check in
She returned it saying " sir I'm only allowed tips for service provided "
I got a good room plus $20 rake back

Me too !!!
I was expecting the presidential suite with a jacuzzi a bar -b-q a bar with a woman with big titties - as men with big titties arnt my thing ! Serving Budweiser
Instead I've got a perfectly serviceable suite on the 9 th floor with 2 queen sized  beds a big sofa a clean tidy bathroom
As I'm in my own it's fine
It was $572 on triviago
At check in with resort fee
$30+ a day sir
X 7
It's $800 odd
Plus a $200 deposit
So be warned hidden fees boost it up by ?? 35% ??

Morning all.

Been a busy few days, been doing some work for a change. Next Door have been very easy on me since the HA, I've hardly done any work, but we had a big day on Sunday so I got back on my work bike. Incidentally, the return of the Sky Poker Tour was announced, so that was good.

Quick side story to the return of the SPT, news of which was wonderfully received.

It will be in Manchester, as the 235. On the "SPT is back" thread, one Gent, quite genuinely & innocently, replied "BOOM". Within minutes, several posts had suggested that "Boom" was well out of order. You gotta tread SO carefully these days, eh?

What a disaster the weekend has been for BA.

High volume IT Operations are not a solved equation yet, not by any means.

It is too easy just to "lol" at failure, & I'm keen not to fall into that trap, but this is the 4th full day IT failure BA have had in less than a year. Room for improvement, I guess.

Meanwhile, as BA squirm. Europe's favourite airline, Ryanair, report record profits.

It is almost as if Michael O'Leary times these announcements to increase BA's pain, but of course that's not the case. Bet he enjoys it, though.

God bless Michael.

Hi Alan,

Yes, of course, always pleased to see season ticket holders renew. I'll add you to the list. PS - 1% = £114.15.

How are you keeping these days? Still play at Luton? If so, how's the scene down there these days?

Rather worryingly, when I typed "Alan McBride, Luton" into google images, this photo came up;

Good Luck Sir

Thanks Trev,

I'll confirm as soon as I know yours has landed.

How you feeling now? Getting plenty of sympathy from Mr Moult?

[tikay]

Have I missed the post telling us what each percentage costs please ?

Morning Lisa,

Apologies for the delayed reply. No, I had not published it yet.

Your 2% will come to (2 x £114.15) = £228.30.  

I'll be posting the total package value, exchange rates used & all the other minutiae shortly.  

How are the twins? And is Mr Mischief behaving himself?

Sent. Good luck us !

Twins great. Pete challenging.

But he's very good with the girls, far better than I was expecting, and they adore him.

Morning Lisa,

This MAY be the unattributed 2% I referred to earlier.

I'll definitely confirm once I receive your payment.
