Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

[Karabiner]

Last month I was in Cambridge and got lost, so I got out of the car to ask this guy for directions. I said "Excuse me" and the guy ran away. WTF. Properly bolted up the high street he did. I can't get this image out of my mind. Why would you run away? If I was wielding an axe above my head his response would have been appropriate, but running away because someone said hello is quite an astonishing reaction. I don't know why we even bother to ask for directions anyway. The guy who eventually helped me sounded like the teacher from Charlie Brown...whhhaaapp whhhappp, and even though I repeated his directions back to him word for word when I got back into the car I didn't have a fecking clue what he just said. Asking for directions is a pointless exercise imo.

It is astonishing how often when finally resorting to the ignominy of having to ask for directions I end up speaking to either a complete stranger or a complete imbecile, perhaps I just run bad...

Very amusing. If that was the case he would have needed the speed of a fecking gazelle to get away.

Why is that? Are all men the same? I don't understand. If your leg is hanging off an elastoplast isn't going to do the job.
It puzzles me that men are so stubborn when it comes to health and directions.

Whenever I arrested a man for kerb crawling he would always say he was asking the prostitute for directions - which always made us laugh. Whenever I caught my ex with ladies of the night he was waiting for his change....

So explain please - why can't men ask for directions or a doctors appointment?

If I got caught asking a woman for directions, I'd be so embarrassed I'd pretend she was a prostitute....

And whilst on the subject of asking women for directions, always ask a woman with small boobs.   God handed out boobs and brains, but very seldom both...

Nope.   God just gave us the dedication and willpower for us to prove that, by god, we want 'em.   We'll do whatever we have to do to get 'em.

No matter how hard the path.  If we have to drink 10 pints a day for 10 years to get there.  A mansh gorra dooo, warra mansh gorra dooooo , <hic>.

They weren't handed out at the start.  We have to work hard to grow those..

Went to DTD on Friday night. Was still a bit non-plussed about my (lack of) showing in the GUKPT, I just could not make things happen, & I need a few hands really, to get gambling chips. I just think it was one of those days, 9-9 was my best hand, I struggle to play with poor starting hands, whereas the better Players seem to manage OK.

Also, Luton was seriously busy - a lovely sight, actually - to see that lovely Room full, but crowds do my head in, & I prefer smaller fields.

So, DTD was an oasis of peace & calm on Friday, a lovely, subdued, atmo, everyone just enjoying themselves. I'll be at Luton on Monday, & that'll be megagood, too, wuth about 50 Runners for their £50 + £50 + £50, arguably their best & most playable regular Comp. And tonight, back to DTD for the £100-er. Freezeout......Lovely Comp, that.

The Chillster was at DTD on Friday, & she's lost a bit of weight,  has "got the mood" for getting in shape, Gym every day, eating properly, not eating junk.

Here she is on her new, uber-strict, diet-regime.

It may be the first time I've ever seen a scouser use a napkin properly - they generally use them as hankies.

Anyway, she finished 4th, but was not a happy chappie, as her K-K got done by T-T. Still, £450 in the kitty all helps.

Smoking Kills, & so do Banana Splits if they are as big as this. (Fag packet for scale).

I had Egg Benedict, then this giant Banana Split. Heaven. They've got a new Menu now, & it's way too tempting.

Lord Yong iin the new DTD £2-£5 Uncapped Short-Handed Cash Game, which Rob & Chubbs sit in every Friday night now. We played ROE (HE & Omaha). Chubbs & the Yongsta go at it hammer & tongs & make some amazing plays. When they were both in the hand, I generally ran for cover.

Rob is Eastwood Town potty these days, he's got a real passion for his football club. Bet it does well.

[Chompy]

You can't beat a good banana split, even when it's served on a rugby ball

Can I just say I'm loving this photo taken of Tikay in Vegas this year.
Back to the camera - showing his best side!

It's just work, work, work with you all the time Dingdell
