I've just read this whole thread from start to finish and what a brilliant thread it is. My new favourite on blonde.

If only more people had your attitude this country/world would be a much better place! You're an inspiration mate.

Please update more often!

Thank you Robert:

I am aware people buy %s of others in tourneys, but i wouldnt feel comfortable knowing I was losing somebody elses money, just me I guess.

Fair enough, but don't shut the door on the idea completely.

I mean, if you win a Monte Carlo seat, are you not going to sell a % of yourself? You'll be able to play better, especially near the bubble, if you know you have a decent profit locked in.

Very good point, I dont think i would have a problem with selling a % ONCE I had won into a tournament, My thoughts were more on the line that I couldn't see myself being bought into a tournament by others in return for a percentage, If I cant buy myself in then in my mind it is best I dont play at all, I hope that makes some sort of sense.

Just look at it at selling a % of yrself prior to buying in then returning some winnings to the stakers

Six Months In

Friday 20th March 2009

Yes believe it or not it's actually just over 6 months since i started in my new job, where has that time gone?

Starting work at 10pm and finishing at 7.30am it has been a case of going to work in the dark and coming home in the dark, it is only this last week when it has been getting light at around 6.30am that I have really had a chance to see the hotel and its surrounds in daylight!!!

The Hotel stands in grounds of 54 acres and part of the hotel is a seperate Manor House which is host to 13 DeLuxe Bedrooms and 5 private conference/dining rooms, it also has its own private garden/croquet lawn and lake which until this morning I had never seen. So at 6.30 with the sun rising and the mist hanging over the lake I took a couple of pics.

I am hoping to be able to post some 'really good news' at some point over the weekend, fingers crossed.

Return to the Pearl of the Orient....part 2

 

Sunday 22nd March 2009

Today I am a Very Happy taximan, Last night I booked my flight to return 'home' to the Philippines 

The downside of that is it is only for a 3 week holiday this time! but it's better than nothing, so all being well I wll be taking off from Heathrow on May30th and arriving in Manila on May 31st, in time for Roxannes birthday on June 2nd.

On landing back in the UK in May of last year the last realistic thing on my mind was being able to return in such a quick time, given my circumstances I am over the moon at having acheived this.

The other plus side about returning at this time is it gives me the chance to deal with the local business people again and to get them to renew their promisary notes to donate  food and other supplies to the hostel on a monthly basis, these promises are pledged for 12 months at a time so it is the RIGHT time to rerurn.

So, get my suitcase out and start to pack, dont need much as i left a lot of clothes out there when I returned, as it is very hot just need some shorts and a couple of T Shirts (now i wonder where I may get a FREE T shirt to promote say a famous forum across the ocean in Asia  )
