Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

[AndrewT]

I travel into North Acton daily - really could do with a revamp - far too small to cope with the rush hour crowds - guess when they built it it wasn't bang in the middle of what is, in effect, a huge industrial estate.

So the upgrade promised in the sign didn't cut the mustard?

[Laxie]

Phew...this almost ended up in the arts diary! 

Hiya Tikay.  Hope all is well.  Not sure if you've seen this already, but I saw this clip today and thought of you.  It had me teary eyed by the end.  Mushy is a young lad who has the same problem you use to have...

Fab pic, but why not just tow them all with a couple of tugs?

Presumably they would have to crew them if they did that.

I don't think the ships can be very big.

tikay can do that with mspaint

My incredulity was based on the assumption that a huge crane would be required....

BUT this barge apparently submerges so that "things" can be floated on.

It's very clever parking, whatever.

Doubt it, can't recall ever having that many chips, and I would certainly throw A-J in the muck pre. Obv.

Where/when was this?

I've been playing PLO DYM's all evening.

[pleno1]

It's from the main event. He was the aggro Honduras lid.

He's recently been at the forefront of a huge scandal.

Amongst a few others he has been accused (but not defended himself or said otherwise) to be buying accounts late in tournaments. Ie with 20 left in Sunday million perhaps he has access to an unknown amateur who is,overwhelmed and offers to buy the count for 25,000 an offer a lot of guys would take.

However unlike the other guys who are seen as ruthless he's getting let a little bit off the stick as he spends all his time as a volunteer with the church etching English and is very charitable.


Here is the post from the ghostbusters 2p2 account

This case is a little thin for my liking, but the providers have agreed to out themselves in the event of legal preceedings. The player in question is FU_15, and the appearance of buying deep runs and ghosting horses.

Player xxxxxxx is not opted in to OPR. Player zzzzzzz is and it is documented they did in fact play the 1k alongside their reg schedule.



Both of the players xxxxxxx and yyyyyyy were being backed at this time by other individuals with BI of <11$ Fo and $3r

What an extraordinary thing. Not photo-shopped, is it?

Every time I view it, it begs more questions. How, where, why?

I'm guessing a Korean shipyard, but where to, no idea.

No idea how the ships would have been loaded, they look to heavy for conventional cranes.

There ae 14 ships there, that's a big order by any standards. Who would want 14 near identical small cargo ships these days? A Baltic or Russian state, perhaps?

All a complete mystery. Need more info please.

Ahh, the Honduras Lid who etches stuff.

I'm astonished that this sort of thing goes on. Is it frequent? What happens if it comes out on top, are they life-banned? They ought to be. Be a good thing of there was a universal Online Gaming "Authority", who could oversee, police & deal with these sort of things. Never gonna happen, but it is needed.

I must live my life in a little box, I never realised this sort of stuff went off. 

I work with Next Door, where the numbers are generally rather smaller, so this sort of thing must be far less likely, but do 'Stars & Co worry about it?

For fans of wildlife & nature documentaries, I cannot recommend strongly enough Nat Geo Wild, & the series of "Wild" Programmes.

"Wild Danube", a 2 part jobbie, might just be the best nature & wildlife Show I've ever seen. Yes, that includes the incredible Attenborough stuff.

The quality of the camerawork is amongst the best I've seen, & the Shows are an absolute delight to watch.

Do try & watch, you won't regret it. They can be found on the Nat Geo Wild Channel.
