Here's a PokerRadio Interview Rob Yong gave yesterday. It's a jaw-dropper.

Listen up, see how he gets things in perspective, as to the overlay in his Grand Slam Leg One, whether the other 2 Grand Slams will go ahead, the GC, the new Casino Tax & it's incredibly serious implications for DTD.

The man should be Knighted for services to Poker, he really should.

One of the best interviews you will ever hear.

Excellent interview.

Staggering to learn the new taxes will mean the club will run at a £800 -900K loss a year! . Untenable as Rob says, and with a footfall of 1500 a week ,.... that's about a £10 entry charge per person per visit,..............or move to plan "b", whatever that may be.

yeah it's a pretty disgusting ill-thought out piece of legislation...but Brown was also against the abolition of the 9% betting tax so it's no wonder that this has been sneaked through...and people don't care enough about casinos to do anything about it (Let alone DtD) ..it's an easy target which is why they've gone for it.

[I KNOW IT]

Saw some old friends at DTD yesterday, including Craig (I KNOW IT) Wildman, who looks so young, I think he's had a makeover, and Lucky Jim Moult, aka bookiebasher.

Jim & I reminisced aboiut a wonderful trip to Deauville 4 or 5 years back. It was Jim's first big overseas poker trip, & we travelled with Thewy & Stu Fox.

I got 5th or 6th in the €500, & semi-finalled in my only EPT, and Jim finished a spot ahead of me in the €500, & chopped the €1,000, giving a black eye to Devilfish & Willie Tann in the process. What a great trip that was.

Jim won about €40,000 on the trip, which then disappeared in THE most bizarre circumsatances. Suffice to say, never hide money behind wardrobes if your missus is inclined to move stuff around......

Great to see Jim, who reads blonde everey single day. He goes to Vegas same day & flight as me this year, so that's neat, too.

OK, off to donk away another £250 at DTD now.

Lol it must be my stress free life   or the fact I was standing next to Kev
It was good to see you too. Good luck on your Vegas trip.

I use "google alerts" for work purposes, & this corker was included today. It alludes, in the weirdest of ways, to 'Ling scooping the Ladies World Open.

I know I sometimes C & P a load of tosh, & you think "tl:dr", but please read this.

It is on a website named "online poker strategy", with the sub-name "a directory of delicious things about online poker strategies & news".

And even Gush the Lush would be shocked by this. I mean, what? Was it translated, then un-translated, or somethng?

Explain please.

Anyway, enjoy this. Barry Carter could never write like this, in fact not even Miss Mason could do wordage like this. Spectacular stuff. If you manage the first para, you'll read the lot. I promise.

I had to travel through Penn Station in New York and it was a complete eye sore, like a lot of things in the US they knocked the original structure down and replaced it with something more "functional".

[Moskvich]

Love the news story, fascinating read..! I'll definitely be trying to 'pop a movement pre-flop' next time I play.

And did they really have a 'heads-up fool around'? Looking forward to that on t'telly.

Thanks Longy. Now it's easy to see why Railway Termini are often called "cathedralesque". Wonderful, thank you. Grand Central is on my Bucket List.

The Mall in Leeds Station, oddly, reminds me very much of NY Grand Central, though the platform area is simply dreadful.

Was Grand Central not featured in a big gangster film yonks ago - with a pram tumbling down the grand staircase?

Grand Central Staton is wonderful, my friends and I just stood at the top of the stairs and looked - just looked and took it all in for ages. If there was a time to use the word 'aweome' that was it.

Go one level under the main consourse and you get to the oyster bar and other drinks areas - all just as beautiful.. Just next door to the station is a market - full of exotic fruit and veg and wonderful deli items we just don't get over here as well as the most wonderful cheesecake ever - FACT.

Happy memories from a photo of a train station - thank you.
