That night he had a stomach ache.

The next morning he ate through a nice green leaf and felt much better.

... and he wasn't a tiny caterpillar any more, he has a big fat caterpillar. He made a house called a cocoon, and stayed inside for 6 weeks.

When he came out again, he was a beautiful butterfly.

blonde cliff notes -

Rumour has it you've lost so much weight we won't be able to find you soon enough.

Soap stars get paid a shockingly small sum for their appearance on the telly.

blonde bash prep going swimmingly and many of us can't wait to hang out for a fun week-end together.  

Ding is no longer impressed by porches.

We were rubbish at the DTD UKIPT.  

Plenty more, but will let you get yer head around that lot first.

There should be 36 hours in a day, minimum.

I'm happy, fit, as healthy as I've been for several decades, with a few exceptions, (my eyesight is much much worse), thoroughly immersed & fulfilled in my new job, but there is just not enough tome to do everything I want.

My new job is a stretch, a real challenge, & I'm struggling to get on top of it. More on that later.

I've become a Diet-Bore, sorry. But the Diet has been life-changing almost, & life-enhancing certainly, & I've loved every moment of it. The loss is now 4 stones & 2lbs, in exactly 3 months, and at 12st 4lbs, that's the first time I have been south of 12st 7lbs for 23 years. The target is my target weight before I was 30 - 11st 7lbs - & I will achieve that before I head to Vegas on July 1st, which is the day the Diet will end. Fried Brekkie at Gatters Airport, wonderful, & a few weeks of quality junk-food in Vegas, can't wait. When I return, I'll go sensible, & continue with the massive volumes of fresh fruit I now consume - & love - daily.

Next up - quit smoking. My head is gradually getting in the right place for that. The head HAS to be "just so" to succesfully diet or quit smoking. 1 down, 1 to go.

I sleep better now, immensely so, & wake up every morning bursting with energy & zing, & arrive at work anytime between 6am & 10am. (I don't have "hours" as such). On non-show days I work non-stop until 7pm, then play Online, mainly Omaha cash or Tourneys, until Midnight or 1am, which is sort of part of my job. Sort of. Sometimes. Complicated that. Show Days have been frequent, & the mix between my "proper" job & doing the TV Shows is quite awkward, & has exercised me considerably. It's quite tough to do regular work in the Office & then change heads & go straight into the TV Studio, as the anticipation & thought-process needed for the Show is missing, so that was a challenge to overcome, but I found a way.

June is gonna be very busy, with 9 "Show Days" (totalling 18 Shows) booked, 5 PTP Nights, & a new weekly tikay Rebuy Tourney, so a good month in prospect, but of course I lose out in July whilst in Vegas.

This Friday I go to the GUKPT to support our TSP & TP-er, Dan Brown, in the GUKPT, so I'll be there from Friday until he busts out. Meetings all day tomorrow (I spend Mondays at a different Office, the "Big Sky" Office in Osterley), office stuff Tuesday, Studio from 11am until 7pm on Wednesday, followed by a "spare" PTP from 7pm until Midnight, some private stuff to sort on Thursday, Coventry Friday onwards. Another week will fly by.

I'm incredibly happy, but lack of time is such a bugger, there is just not enough. 

[Laxie]

Oh yeah - the elections.  There's a 'results' thread in the lounge which only ran for maybe 800 pages.  OK, only 40, but not for the time restricted likes of yerself.  Will post the link anyway for one of your 'down time' days.

Cantlin Moran, The Times, May 1st.....
 
" I would confidently aver that Olly Smith is not of woman born. I think that he's what you get if Boris Johnson walks past an ovulating alien".

Now that's quality flaming of the highest order. If all flaming were of that quality, I'd vote for it to be allowed on blonde. Clever, witty, hurtful, funny.

Well I've nervously dipped my toe back into the waters of blonde, but now I have to go out. Luton awaits, on a rare evening off, so I'm gonna play the £100.

I have promised myself I will find time to get on blonde every day. Hope I keep that promise.

I expect to be mocked hard at Luton tonight. I'm wearing an outlandishly un-cool "top", simply because I can. It did not fit me for the last 10 years, but now it does, & because I can wear it, I am.  Was I always this awkward, I wonder?

[tikay]

A big list of "well done's" awaits, don't let me forget, please.

[paulhouk03]

well come back tikay

glad you are well
