Remember how TK sometimes used to post updates and stuff on this thread?
Ah, those were the days.
Be careful what you wish for!
A change in my work schedule means I may have a little more free time, so beware.
I have a little list of stuff to Post tucked away, & it will all get done.
I had a day-long meet with Barry Hearn last week - wow, what an experience. I'm a bit of geek about successful businessmen, & I've met many of them, but Barry was........
Just read an awesome book, too.
I've decided to can my planned Post/comment on the Bainn affair, as it's all gone nice & quiet now, & I think it's best to let sleeping dogs lie.
And I'm playing a poker Tourney this weekend - the DTD £300!
You saw, I assume, the story yesterday of the 10 year old kid who was shot stone dead in his back garden by his mate, a pure accident, the father was beside himself with grief. That'd be the father who gave the 10 year old the gun.
Arsene Wenger celebrates 13 years as an Arsenal Manager today, & what great change & success he has had for Arsenal. Not just on pitch, but insofar as Arsenal as a business is concerned. Few, if any managers, share his financial prudency. They have money in the bank, but it dos not burn a hole in his pocket. Proper manager, him.
It's not widely known that I'm quite a big fan of Premiership Football. In ny younger days, I was a three mtches a week guy, & I've seen all the great Teams & players of the day that mattered.
But the Premiership is well special, & when I can, I watch it, & I avidly read every single Premiership report in the Times, Guardian, & The Independent. (The rest are not worth reading).
But I cant, or won;t, discuss football on here, because almost without exception, football fans are so bloody parochial, & can only see football through the eyes of their favoured team. A shame really, because the psychology of football players & Managers fascinates me.
I made a passing comment about Sir Alex's shrewd use of the Media last week ("noisy neighbours"), & of course, in a flash, a Liverpool supporter had to be negative about him. Because he's not a Man Utd supporter, see?
So, sadly, I don't mention the Premiership much, but it's some quality product. Even myopic football supporters can see that.
Anyway, I have things to do now.
A bad night last night & the night before elsewhere, but tonight it's the "tikay Sleepstack", where I get 5,000 chip & nod off for 3 hours before playing a hand. I have afters lined up tonight, too. Happy days.
Tomorrow I'm back at the WSOP-E for the last time, with In-Poker. In-Poker have been there 3 times now, & we got some great interviews. I've been there 6 times myself, & have penned no less than 14 Blogs about it so far! Two more WSOP-E Blogs & that's that, done & dusted.
Office all day Friday, DTD Saturday & Sunday, office Monday, then 2 days off, though work (Online) in the evening.
I'm gonna line up a Meet with Flushy, Tighty, Kev & myself for next week too, I hope.
There, you'v started me off now.
Bugger off now boldie, right?
