"The Untouchables"

Who are?

[boldie]

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.

I'm jealous.

Official Correction - The world's best Cheesecake is at DTD. Ask Compo & Kiv.

Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, beats real NY cheesecake.

But in the interest of fairness I shall try the DtD cheeecake next week. (MrsB would never allow me to just have a slice but since it's in the public interest and all in the name of science I reckon I might get a slice now )

No problem, my reaction when when I got to the main concourse was just "wow". Then again i think i did that at least once an hour walking round Manhattan, it really is an amazing place and yes i remember the market nearby, amazing contrasts and this is all a couple of blocks away from Times Square.

Kevin Costner, Sean Connery and an Italian actor who's name escapes me for the moment.

More correctly, they played the Police fighting Capone and his cohorts during the prohibition era

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".

Isn't Penn Station effectively underground? I went to the Breeders Cup a month after 9/11 and I seem to recall the train out to Belmont went from Penn Station and it was underneath Madison Square Gardens.

Eliot Ness and the prohibition boys were the "untouchables"


believe it or not, Eliot Ness won me a holiday once ..... corporate function and he was the answer to a tie break question.

god that was years ago.

Correct but it didn't use to be that way and they tore it down, then built on top of it.

Yes, I remember it now, clearly. David Niven was in it. There was a baby in the pram, too.

A Guest Columnist right here upon Poker News Daily, Sexton has gained a endorsements of Obrestad as well as Irish gin rummy player Padraig Parkinson, who commented in a matter upon Thursday, “I suspicion which Mike was nuts when he common his prophesy of where you were starting with me, though never for a second doubted which he was a male to lead us there. Unusually for me, you was right.”

Thanks so much for finding this article TK....I have not laughed my socks off so much for ages.

YW.

More to come as & when it arrives.

I rather enjoyed the thought of 'Ling degrading Miss Wooka.

Down to 5k, I need to move now, & found a spot quite soon, at 100-200 (RA 25), when it went Limp, Limp, Alan Strearn makes it 800, & there is an all-in man behind me. I have A-J. My stack is an awkward size, so I decide to jam, & Alan will let go, I'm pretty sure of that.

But Alan had A-K, so made the perfectly standard & correct Call, whilst the All-In Man Tabled J-J.

Way to go, get your money in as a 96% dog.

Today we will mainly be a genuine Nit, just grinding. No moves, no nothing.

This hand really confused me Tikay.

You didn't actually shove, you raised to about 2600 then called Alan's shove.

First thing that confused me was you somehow managing to get 25 bbs in the middle with AJ.

The other thing was that when Alan shoved you had a look of anguish on your face like you should pass. You then said "I think I have to call" and Alan turned over his AK.

Did you really want to call or did you just do it because Alan had already showed his cards so you felt obliged?

It all looked very strange to me.
