Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

[tikay]

On last night's Show, we showed the Final Table of Sunday's £30,000 Guaranteed Super Roller.

There was £8,008 to the winner, & about £4,500 to the runner-up.

I was surprised to note the Runner-Up was one "DrMarbles", a well-known blonde of much ill-repute. I took the opportunity to abuse him mercilessly, as to his apparel & Arty-Farty interests. Don't get such opportunities every day.

PS - Well done DrMarbles.

I must have failed to put it on properly, & it fell off as I went for my morning jog.

fyp

Yes yes, of course.

Nice to get the watch back.  Almost as exciting as the return of Holly the cat in Goulder's diary.

Gonna have to lose something soon then get it back at a later date for my diary now. 

Good to be onboard (seems like the most appropriate expression) for your's now too Tikay.  Not sure I have time to play catch up on the last 2089 pages though - sorry.

Arses - forgot about this.

Is it repeated?

Yes, I'll go have a look & see what times & days.

It was in the first hour of the Live Show last night, from 7pm-8pm, so you won't have to endure the whole 5 hours.

I was splendidly adventurous in my descriptions of you & your apparel.

The winner, appropriately named, was "BOSS".

Very nice cash, over £4,000, bet you were a shade miffed nit to bink the whole £8k though. You looked nailed on, with a monster stack when starting the Final Table iirc.

I hit the top about 50 out and luckily never let it slide till the end.

At one point about 40 out me and my brother were 1 and 2 before he had an accident.

I then knocked him out when I slowrolled him with KK.

Ducks are birds, surely.

Yes, I suppose they are. But there are birds, & ducks. A mallard, say, is a proper duck, a duck duck.  A cormorant is more of a bird bird than a duck bird.

The bird family must be divided into ducks & non-ducks, surely?

I wonder if the difference is webbed feet? If so, Chompy would be a duck, I'm pretty sure.

I'm going to plagiarise Bertrand Russell here...

If everything in the world can be divided into two groups: things that are ducks and things that are not ducks, is the group of things that are ducks itself in the second group?


The word "duck" means "diver", but it an interesting little thing that it is an example of something we give the same name to when we eat it. Cow becomes beef, pig becomes pork, sheep becomes mutton...

This, I believe, is because after the Norman invasion (autocorrect tried to change this to Moorman!), the french used their own, romantic words for the food, while the natives who farmed these animals knew then as animals in their Germanic/anglo-saxon tongue.

The old English word for duck was "ened", but I think this is obsolete now.

Very well explained Spurs Bloke, thank you.

And there enedeth the lesson.

Great news about your kettle Tony.

It must have bounced right under the car and only been visible when the car was moved which is why you never noticed it. It's a good job you park in precisely the same place every time.

OCD parking FTW.

More of a duck duck tbh.

I turned over to CH861 for literally 2mins last night, during the discussion about Scotty77's presenting, and heard...

"A few years ago, when Ryan started playing at Luton he was hopeless, even worse than Chompy!"

I have a meeting with my legal team later this afternoon.

Ha!

I did, too.

Turned over for 2 minutes indeed. You watch every minute of every Show.

I heard that too, thought you have whooshed the other 4 members of the audience there.

I'll go for not a duck, and a shag is a different bird.
