Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

[tikay]

Facetious? - Would u mind cutting down on the posh words please, I have trouble reading/writing the basics lol 

Ignore the haters Dreenie, stick with me.

tbf, i had to google the correct spelling, apparently faseeshus isn't a real word. TK's diary is ok if you like trains, planes and cement. But RED-DOG's diary is where you get all the hard hitting action, a laugh a line and puns galore.

WOW, really shocked by your response, never thought it would be a 'boring subject' for you, or that u would find him rubbish!! - I think once u look inside the art work, there is a lot of useful stuff u can find within one's mind... pretty fascinating really Imho, not that I understand it 100%.

So what sort of interests are u in to aside from the gambling/poker world?

Do u like Snooker?

I have no time for art nonsense, Dreenie, or fiction, be it in books, films, or TV, that is what kids enjoy, I'm a grown up.

Yes, I played snooker for many a year, but I developed a "snatch" (the snooker equiveklant of golf's "yips") as well as failing eyes, so I abandoned that & took up golf, but then I got the yips, so I moved on to poker, where I was, in relative terms, more successful, & became a sort of poker philanthropist.

I also enjoy anything related to transport, industry, business, people, nature, wildlife, ducks, RT buses, railways, bridges, concrete, music, & I am an accomplished photographer.

Kerrang!! U must be joking, I would say Ur more of a capital gold guy! loool

Do u enjoy Art?

I like Banksy's Art Work, I don't understand too much about it, but a good friend of mine has bought a few of his work and they look really cool.

Trigg let me look through his book of Banksy's work at a gukpt in Blackpool. Some of his stuff is very funny and thought provoking Dreenie.

Banksy is shite. if I were in power, I'd fine him for soiling our fine walls with graffiti.

Do you just object to him paintng on concrete?

For some reason that line brought to mind the Hancock's HalfHour when Anthony Aloysius Hancock took up photography. "I don't take snaps. I paint with light"

Sounds good, u come across as a good writer too, one of the reasons I like Alex's diary so much, he has a certain knack for it imo. Also like reading vicky coren's pieces and neil c's, just very humorous and I try to pick some stuff up from it, to improve myself. (doesn't seem to be working very well yet   )

Do/Have u ever watched Mile High (series on T.V)? What is your favorite radio station?, also your favorite song of all time?

Did you know John Eames was a very talented snooker player and may have even been semi-pro. I believe he made quite a bit of money backing snooker matches were the bookies had no idea who the players were so made em both 5/6 and John being in the know cleared the table so to speak.

That is the only word in the English language with all the vowels in alphabetical order, good word n that.

What's going off here?

Name the ground, & the goalkeeper.

Clue - after he retired from an illustrious career in football, he moved to the Isle of Mull & became a Postman.

I was gonna say how gracetious you are when taking a beat at the table but then I would be wrong on two accounts

Peter Bonetti?

It looks like The County Ground at Northampton - shared between Northampton Town FC and Northants CCC for years. Had one side of the pitch - known as the Cricket Side, funnily enough - that used to have spectators standiing on wooden boards until H&S stopped them. Latterly it was just left totally open with just a few hoardings.
Eventually a new stadium was built on the outskirts of town.
 Presumably the photo was taken in the one season in which The Cobblers played in the top flight, 1965-66.

....is CORRECT.

Tighty is going to be so tilted he never got it first. Serves the lazy sod right, he's still in bed.

Bonetti was a bit special back in the day, & served Chelsea for many a year, playing alongside some iconic players such as Venables & Tambling, & under such diverse managers such as Ted Drake & Tommy Doc. He was in the 1966 World Cup winning squad, too.

I was never north of starting stack yesterday, groan! Not much I could do different though, another day the hands fall the other way. Tens lost to Q-10, Queens lost to K-Q, A-K to A-Q, that sort of thing, all pretty standard. Then I folded 7-8 oop in a multi-way affair to a 4 bet called in 3 spots, & watched the flop come 5-6-9 rainbow, lol.

I dribbled down to about 13k, & was musing on going for a daft second bullet, but luckily I got the 2xup just in time.  There was a raise to 2.1k, calld, I jammed with  & got looked up by  for a nice double-up+.

But eventually I re-jammed K-J into A-K & that was that.

A kid to my immediate left impressed tremendously, nice lad, really LOVED his game, think he was a Geordie Kid, Marc Foggin? Hope he runs deep, lovely lad.

Gotta go back today for a Meeting, so will probs play the £150 whilst there. Goodbye another £150, marv. But no Live Poker for me for several weeks now, the Diary is rammed, so I may as well indulge whilst I can.

Yeah Marc Foggin is a sicko. V.good player and good friends of Jamie Dale.

Excuse my fixation of golden oldie football photos, but they are a bit special. No more after this, I promise.
