Life is bigger than poker, and most people who play poker just dont get that.
To be fair though, most people who don't play poker don't get it either.
Life is easy for everyone when they run well.

google an image from your past.I was thinking about a little Meccano steam engine that I found in the scrap when I was a boy, so I googled "Meccano steam engine" and found this, it's the exact same one. | Click to see full-size image. |
 To make it run you had to fill a little pan with meths and set fire to it, then wait until it became hot enough to melt concrete. If it had ever exploded, I would have been instantly vaporised. Why don't they make toys like that any more?

I had one of these a little over 20 years ago: I loved tweaking it and trying to get a little bit more out of it than you could as stock. Used to race it at a purpose-built track and there'd be about 40 others there at the weekend. It was always an adult with loads of money who'd have the fastest car with fresh tyres, etc. So when any of us kids won, we knew it was down to our driving and the mods we'd done on the cars - not the money we'd spent. I still have the car somewhere. Think it's missing a few bits though... |

Does anyone remember Tom Piper Irish Stew? We almost never had ready-made meals, they were only for "well off" people. But if one of us was a bit under the weather, my mam would often buy us a tin of Tom Piper as a special treat. I can taste it now, luverly.  |

These days there seems to be no middle ground for me. I find half the stuff in the world interesting or beautiful and the other half unbearably annoying.
Hardly anything annoys me and hardly anything excites me - your way is much more interesting |
