Blimey, I'm the wrong person to ask that, it's all pretty boring.
1) Anything prepared by someone who cares. I live alone, so having meals cooked for me is a real rarity. Recently had a lovely chicken salad dish, "salad" being tomatoes, boiled eggs, & beetroot, the chicken being a hot Tesco jobbie. Wonderful.
2) Best work gig? Been so many, but getting sent to Vegas the last 8 or 9 years has to be the absolute nuts. I look forward to that like a big kid, & enjoy every single minute.
I was with Sporting Bet at one time, 2004 or 5 I think, as "Site Ambassador", which involved a bit of writing, & "Hosting" players at Events all over Europe. I was sat at home one day & the Big Man rung me.
"I need you to go to Monte Carlo for a few days the €10,000 Event & buy in two players. I'll book you a suite at The Hermitage, can you do that?" "
Err, yes, I think I can manage that...."They send me €20,000 cash, lovely, but I decided to stop over at the Concorde in Vienna for a few nights on the way & play some cash. There was this guy at the table who had NO IDEA, & so I decided to play until I'd got the lot. It went rather badly, to be truthful. I kept reaching into my pocket & pulling up another €500 note. I did not dare count what I had left until I got back to my Hotel. Think I was sharing a room with Red Dog, Jen Mason, Snoopy & someone else, can't quite recall. Anyway, the €20,000 had become €11,000 by now. Two days later I was in Monte Carlo, & had to borrow €9,000 from Rob Yong. He was as good as gold, & asked no questions, just chucked me the cash. Yikes.
Brown sauce or red? Depends on what I'm eating, but either will do. Amazing how folks get passionate about one or the other.
Top 5 Luton players? Not falling for that......Everyone says Chompy is the worst, of course, but it's a bit cheesy now, like 5-3-1-2-4 after a photo of 5 young ladies.
Cheapest meal with Vinny? Can't say I've ever had a meal with Vinny. I don't do social eating except in THE most dire circumstances, when I can't find an excuse. Loathe it, I'm not made for small talk at meals.
I've been ducking meals in Vegas with two of my best friends, Camel & Mr Channing, for about 8 years now, every year I have the same dilemma. Just not my bag, social eating.
I did actually have a meal this year with Thewy, Scotty, & Dylan, but they trapped me, as I needed to buy/borrrow some dollars, & they had $10,000 to spare. Bastards. I had Fish & Chips, in Caesars Palace, which was lovely.
Told you I was not the best person to ask those questions.....
