Its now 12.50 and I am in the hotel, couldn’t post on the train, bloody battery died!!!

I cannot believe you are still sleeping in your car after 6 weeks. Mind you when you're crazy in love a man's logic seems to fly out the window. I bet we've all done insane stuff in the name of love. But why don't you ditch the car and get a cheapy camper van instead taxi? Alternatively you could consider applying to pimp my ride uk. Pimp taxi's ride would be a great episode imo.

There aint no such animal. (Check Ebay if you don't believe me)

I did and there's one for £50. Granted it's painted to look like The Mystery Machine from Scooby Doo but it looked pretty spacious inside.

Link please....

Ok ok The Mystery Machine has already been sold to some pesky kids but check out this bad boy. Introducing the Renault Master Sunsleeper a snip at just £300. The interior is way better than a car coz it's got stuff like microwave and wine cooler and you could still paint the outside to be like The Mystery Machine if you wanted.

OK.No tax, no MOT, knackered exahust, (and God knows what else) and, £300 is only the current bid. NOT the price you can buy it for.

Trust me, at the end of the day, there are no cheap campers. This one looks like a lump of corruption and would prob stand to £2k+ on the road.

blonde bash 8

Monday 14th September 2009

On the train now returning south having had a very pleasant 3 days in Leeds in the company of a great crowd of blonde members. It was really nice to be able to renew old acquaintances and meet lots of new people and to be able to put faces to names.
It never ceases to amaze me the warmth and generosity and genuine interest shown to me by people and just by having short conversations with people I am returning with offers of help and assistance for my future both in the short term and the long, I feel very humble and I thank you all.

Friday night was superb; I believe everything will be covered in others posts just to add that it was a great crowd to be out with.

Saturdays ME was very enjoyable, and I felt I played steady, solid, even though uneventful poker and managed to take my stack to 20K when with 31 players left I just wasn’t good enough to lay down my pocket Kings preflop and found myself having run into Bongos AA, at least I passed them to someone who cared for them, WP Bongo.

Sunday’s morning cricket was awesome, just a pity that the afternoon/evening session was thwarted by a jobsworth security guard!

The quiz was well received by all and congratulations to the winning team, although I did hear they may be some late objections!

So to the Heads up comp, I am in a team with Rex, Stallyon, Hold or Fold and The Nun, I could not have wished to be in a better team. My 1st round match was against Laxie!!! This WAS an experience and we are still playing when the score is 2-2, I am not certain whether I played better poker or Laxie just felt sorry for me, but I scraped a win and we moved on to the 2nd round. Here I play Outrageous and by the time he takes all my chips we are 4-0 up but he deserved the win, so we are in the final.

Here I am drawn to play Salfi and I am TOTALLY owned by him, a lesson in heads up, wp young man, but fortunately I am in the presence of far more adequate players and they carry me through to the winners rostrum, and whilst the £100 is very nice, it is the TROPHY that will remain with me forever and always, I am a very proud taximan, thank you teamates I hope we can renew this winning formula in the future.

After a very nice meal at the Indian with a few of the players we go back to the holiday inn where a fun game of cards ensues at a sensible price which allows me to join in, my abiding memory of this is Bongo running so bad and turning a 4 card flush for a loss of £72, his face was a picture. (oh and a dog called Derek!)

So just to finish I would like again  to say THANK YOU to everyone who attended and made my weekend a special one, I now look forward to BB9 and a chance to meet up with you all again and some more as well.              

12.20pm: Announcement from the train " we have been made aware of disruption on the line between Stevenge and Peterborough, this is due to a person being hit by a train, hopefully the person is not too bad and the delay will be kept to a minimum, thank you"!!!

Taxi, these floods in Manila, hope they aren't in your family's area. You said you travelled 7 hours from Manila, so hopefully not.

I have been thinking of Taxi's family too - hope all is ok - those floods are bad.

[tikay]

As per the above 2 Posts, it's a bit worrying to hear of the dreadful situation in Manila.

I do hope everything is fine with you & yours.

[taximan007]

Thank you for your concerns.

Roxanne and the family are all fine, we are 165 miles north of Manila (between 5 and 7 hours drive due to shite roads)

The Philippine Government make me cross when I hear reports of them asking for international aid, better if they spent some of their own money in the first place on their own people's welfare!! dont get me started
