Only once? Jeeze lucky you. When my Granddad was still alive I used to drive to Germany to visit him. I remember once going through the same customs point twice within an hour.....going the same way both times....

Idiots who say "ty" in the chatbox, after making the worst play in history. Calling an all in on the bubble with j high 10bb deep is bad enough but then the unprompted "ty" after they suckout is just ridic.

The only reason these idiots don't get a response from me is that i would be a lot poorer man without them.

Idiots.

lol. we'll have to form a club for idiot travellers.
while I've only been in the wrong country once I've had several occasions where I've not known which country I was in. think it must run in the family, my brother does it as well.

example phone call

him-how do I get to Warsaw
me-depends, where are you?
him-I'm not sure
me-which country?
him-I don't know

he also nearly did the wrong country thing once but they wouldn't let him in as he didn't have a visa for Belarus. he found this confusing as he was aiming for Poland

I have recently come to the conclusion that I should never leave my home town again under any circumstances.

On Friday night I drove up to Newcastle to play the Ladies Poker Tour.  On Saturday I busted out after an hour with AA vs 1010.  So then I decide that as Newcastle is 250 miles away I should stay a bit longer, and decide to play the £50 f/o deepstack,  I play that for 5 hours, getting through 3/4 of the field before flopping a set with KK, only to lose to AA, an A came on the river.  So I decide to go home. 

On the way home my petrol gets low so I stop at the garage and put some more in.  When I leave the petrol station the needle on the petrol gauge is still where it was before I filled up and I realise it is stuck.  This leads me to misjudge how much petrol I have, and I end up breaking down on the hard shoulder right inbetween the M1 and M6 slip road.



On Wednesday I head up to Manchester for the GUKPT.  I end up taking my brothers car as mine is playing up.  WHen I get as far as Stafford I notice the engine is overheating so I get off at the next junction and find a garage.  I fill the water up, but it just keeps disappearing.  Turns out the head gasket has gone which = me stranded at the roadside at 9pm when I have to check into my hotel in Manchester by 10.30.  After millions of phone calls, sharplea and richeo, who are already in Manchester have to drive to my hotel and check in for me, and then drive to Stafford to rescue me.  Meanwhile my car is headed back to Northampton on the back of a truck.  Played the main event, busted out after 6 levels.  Ho hum.  Get up this morning at 10.30 to catch 11.55 train back to Northampton.  Ring taxi at 11.10.  Taxi turns up at 11.45, not enough time to get to station.  So I head down to the casino for an hour as the next train isn't until 1.45pm...fun fun fun.  I had one bit of luck, I nearly missed my connection at Milton Keynes as my train got in late, but luckily the other train was also late.  Thank god for small favours.

Sounds like how we roll with road trips.

LOL, I once had to go from Northampton to Oxford, but engineering works meant I had to go via Cheltenham and Bristol!

I dislike "EPL" being used as a name for the premier league.

Prem is acceptable.

For some reason, my boss asked me to explain my actions in writing.

I used lots of big words to piss him off.

He then asked me to expain my writing in words.

We agreed that it is probably best to go straight from actions to words next time.

When you stop in traffic to let someone out from a sideroad and then about six feckers all steam out waving thanks.

Companies that advertise job vacancies on the internet, then can't be bothered to respond to applications.

i had a telephone call from a recruitment agency in France a few months ago, they asked me to apply for the job of Customer Service manager for a BIG Car Company's new luxury model for their European roll-out. The job was in switzerland and paid a fortune (More than I've ever made and about 4x as much as I was making at the time (or was it 5 or 6 times as much...I dunno).
Anyways..had the interview with the recruitment agent (who were the only agency this company was working with) and got through to the final 3.

Had a conference call set up to talk with the head honcho, when I got down to the final 2 and I didn't hear from them....2 weeks later I recieved a call from the recruitment agent who apologised as the person i had been dealing with had been on holiday and not told her boss about the conference call. Therefore (as they were under real pressure to fill that position) their other candidate got it.

All recruiters are scum..but those that cost me a top job like that (and this was proper senior F'ing stuff) at a top company really really stink.

[taximan007]

That REALLY sucks!!!!

and i only want something simple!!!!
