what does the graph refer to please?

The lads in the office were messing about with some potential graphics for the Show. I was playing 4 or 5 Tourneys (oooh), & I got graph that sent to me the next morning, it was the first 100 hands of one of the Tourneys.  I'm not always that active, you understand.

I was later informed that, in fact, the graph had been produced upside-down.

Produced upside-down and subsequently inverted.
It looks as though you got three walks to me - soft table.

I love this so much it's untrue

Life, as we know it, is over.

KFC is no longer "finger licking good", & that's official.

The new KFC slogan, is, I think, "so good", which is, so good, that in their new Ad, it gets mentioned or shown 12 times in 30 seconds.

so good

KFC will also, from September, show the "health count" (calories) on the Price Lists of for each product. That'll be so good.

Even better, says the splurge, they will no longer import palm oil, but instead use UK-sourced rapeseed oil, in protest against the loss of Indonesian forests to palm oil production. No mention of the reduced cost of rapeseed oil, though, guess that'll be in the Shareholders Report.

so good

It became KFC so that the word "Fried" was no longer used.

or "chicken"

Terrific interview in today's Times with Robbie Savage. It's a bit sychophantic towards him, but an enjoyable read. As "TheTimesOnline" is now behind a paywall, & I don't subscribe, I cannot link it. Tighty will, though.

I've warmed immensely to Robbie as a pundit, & if they are brave enough, I hope Sky Sports have a gamble, & sign him up.

Apparently, he's the most booked Premiership player ever. And an Ambassador for the FA's "Respect" campaign. (As is, I believe, Gennaro Gattuso, Joe Jordan's head-butting mate). In fact, having Robbie as a "Respect" ambassador has it's positives, viewed in some lights.

He has over 200,000 Twitter followers, too. I'm just behind him.

Savage?

Savage?

Groan, watisthematta with me?

Edited now.

If I were a good bit older, I'd be starting to worry about Alzheimer's.

Anyway, you don't follow football - you are a RU & Ladies Tennis man.

PS - Thank you.

Amazingly I believe he's only ever had one red in the premierleague. Quite something considering he's had 87 yellows.

Playing in 3 different Online Promos/Leagues tonight.

blonde-Sky League, £2.20, 8.30pm, the Sky Poker Forum DTD League (nothing to do with DTD, don't even ask), £2.20, £1.10, & £2,.20, (7.15, 7.45, 8.30), & the Hartigan All-Rounders League, which is the biggie, at 7.30pm, at £11.  4 comps & three Leagues for £16.50! Nothing if not cheap.

Eat your heart out Flushy, I'm grinding the Monday Night Biggies.

Surprisingly - perhaps - I realy enjoy these immensely, no pain, just fun, & most of the players play it accordingly. Can't beat it. Just have to try not to miss anyone who chats to me. Therein lies one helluva story.

OK, power-nap time. Must try not to be grumpy when I wake up, too.

If true, that's some thin line he's walked in those 87 matches. Shows he can control himself when he needs to, too.

FYP, TBF quite a few of Robbie's challenges would have seen many other players sent off.

Saying that, I'd have him playing for my team any day of the week in his prime.

A decent set of Results for 2010 for Ladbrokes, a 10% Final Div hike, & with newbie Richard Glynn solving many of their problems.  Except poker. They need to sort that 888 deal pretty sharpish. In the greater scheme of things, Poker makes not much difference overall to Laddies, it is a very small part of the whole.

Net poker revenue fell to £18.7 million, from £23.7 million. That is a serious drop, & follows several years of the same thing. It used to be my favourite site at one time, as it was to so many.

As to European Online Poker, they were in pole position to move onwards & upwards 5 or 6 years ago, be a "major" (European), but it all went wrong somewhere.
