I'm mentally tizzed today, all messed up in my mind, so many things going off.
I have "backed" my car, to the Lease company, so they just came to collect it from Feltham. Quite sad to see it go, but with 134k on the clock - it had 5k when I got it - it had to be done. But I'm "homeless" for the moment, my car is almost my home, & I keep all sorts in it. All of which is in assorted bags now.
I'm at Feltham, so now I have to get a train up to London, then from St Pancras to Leicester, to collect the replacement car from Regards.
Then a little further North, to home, to do a mountain of laundry & meet Angell & give him some tlc.
In the morning, I need to get some new clothes for Saturday, so gotta go Shopping, the current gear is too big now, gg a few hundred quid.
Then down to Luton Friday afternoon, stay at Days Inn, to meet up with the SP gang, it's a big weekend at Luton for SP, with the SPT on Saturday, &
a few dozen mates coming down for the Friday night freezeout, & I have some business to attend to.
Saturday, a 11am start at Luton-G to prepare for the SPT, "meet & greet" stuff, & this & that. We start the Comp at 2pm, & have some "Talent" & Celeb Guests, Lisa-Marie, Trevor Harris, John McCririck, some boxers, athletes, & a young lady called "Kitty Lea". Don't google image Kitty if you are at work.....
Mid afternoon - 4pm-ish - I leave Luton to drive down to Feltham, to do a 3 hour Live Show, the near-climax of Total Player, where the last 6, all vying for a Vegas package, are reduced to 3. The Luton Tourney will be paused at 10.45pm, & ther Plasmas turned on, to watch, Live, the "dreaded moment" on the Show when 6 become 3. All 6 will be at Luton, so it will be a bit gutting for the unlucky 3.
After the Show finishes, at 11pm, I drive back to Luton to see the end of the SPT, maybe commentate the Final, then some "fun" SNG's & stuff, I'll be bringing Orford up with me, & as he lost a prop bet with me, he's gotta wear the Burgundy Jacket.
I stay at Luton Days after all that lot, then on Sunday it's back down to Jury's Heathrow, & I'm working Online Sunday evening as the PTP-er.
Monday - which I now spend at the BSkyB BIG Office in Osterley - some place that! - I have a 10am Meeting, which is quite important on a personal level, it's sort of tied in with my Contract Negotiations, as one of my Contracts (a non-TV one) expires at the end of April, gulp.
Tuesday I'm PTP-er again, I have Live Shows on both Thursday (1), & Saturday (2). Then I'm off on Sunday, & I'll maybe go to Luton for the £100 Freezeout.
I'll be fine once I gt past today, & the car is sorted, that will settle my mind, but right now, I'm all fuzzed up mentally.
OK, off to catch some trains & head north.
I hope the G have enough dealers & open enough tables to cater for the extra numbers.
A lot of people were upset on Sunday. 21 were registered at 5.30, so the tourney kicked off with just 4 tables, despite the fact that a good 10 people were queueing to register. The max of 40 was quickly reached and several potential alternates were turned away.
