Wonderful stuff.

[BorntoBubble]

Ahhh Vegas.

[MrDickie]

Just as the bluebells are dying off Jeeves pops his head around the corner and spring has sprung again.

[Jeeves]

"rrrrrrrrrrrrrrring, riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing. riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing. rinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng"

i opened an eye and looked at the time

5.45am. On a Sunday morning

I checked caller ID

"The Master. England"

I picked up my phone, looked across the room at my current employer wearing a sportsdirect newcastle shirt lying on the floor mumbling to himself repeatedly

"John Carver best manager in the league" followed by an involuntary spasm as the words trailled off

i rubbed the sleep out of my eyes and answered "Jeeves here, at your service sir"

"Jeeves Jeeves Jeeves!"

the cadence rose as his voice became more urgent

"Jeeves my flight doesn't arrive until 2pm on Friday and for 36 of the last 39 days it has on average arrived over 93 minutes after schedule"

"right, sir. that's air travel for you sir" i replied phlegmatically "slots, headwinds"

"but Jeeves my tournament starts at 2pm"

"late registration sir? the avarage age of the contestants is 93 sir, they won't have played a hand before you arrive"

"4.15pm Jeeves. I might..."

he paused, an inflexction in his voice betraying that he was close to losing it

"i might miss (pause) the (exaggerated pause) tournament Jeeves!"

"well you are there for nearly a month sir...."

"Jeeves, its PLO8. I have an edge Jeeves. A-2-x-x and A-2-K-K only Jeeves. everyone plays too many hands. i blind down to 2 big blinds, find A-2-x-x stick it in double up and wait. Half the field dies while i am waiting Jeeves. automatic cash, starbucks on the way out of the casino, back to the rio, media centre the next morning and repeat for 30 days Jeeves"

"Yes sir" i replied, wondering where this was heading. I was of course familiar with my master's routine in Vegas

"Jeeves i need you to travel a day ahead of me and reserve me a seat in the competition. i can blind away a little while going through arrivals Jeeves. Booked you a ticket for Budapest-London-Amsterdam-Tampa-Atlanta-Des Moines-Las Vegas Jeeves"

"but..."

"its as good as direct Jeeves, see you Wednesday you can pack for me on the London layover"

"but..."

"Jeeves, buy me an extra suitcase. got some books to take to Vegas. actually get me two suitcases. one suitcase needed for Moorman's book of poker Jeeves"

"but sir, Mormons don't play poker do they? Mormons believe that returning to God requires following the example of Jesus Christ, and accepting his atonement through ordinances such as baptism. They believe that Christ's church was restored through Joseph Smith and is guided by living prophets and apostles. Not three betting a loose opener from late position and folding when you miss the flop sir"

I had, after all, watched plenty of this on my master's previous Vegas trips

"Not mormon Jeeves. Moorman"

i waited, requiring further clarification

"25 pocket fives triple crowns Jeeves. Multi-millionare essex boy, and...(pause, as if trying to find the right form of words) a friend of mine Jeeves. wrote a book Jeeves. i have to give it to someone Jeeves, mustn't lose it. needs its own suitcase"

"but what about excess baggage sir?"

"don't worry about that Jeeves, Mr Calenti is not travelling with us this time"

"yes sir"

"so Jeeves, see you Wednesday. Packing and tidying, then the thursday flight for you, straight to Binions to wait in line. should only be 24 hours or so"

"Yes sir, will be your Binions Minion"

i attempted a laugh, but was met by stony silence

Suddenly, the prospect of returning to work again for the scruffy chap from the north east muttering in his sleep about greatest managers in his lifetime seemed altogether more tempting.

Jeeves
 don't forget to visit the duty free at every airport on the way . Your master needs at least 5000 Embassy number 1's , probably better get 10,000 to guarantee avoiding the wrath if he cant get his fix. Can you imagine him going on and on and on and on if he had to smoke an American cigarette?  Best if you put them in the extra suitcase unless you fancy the rubber glove treatment.

The excess baggage joke reminded me of my favourite Jeeves story quote:

The Right Honorable was a tubby little chap, who looked like he had been poured into his clothes but had forgotten to say 'when'.

[Karabiner]

I do hope that Jeeves will be keeping us up to speed with Messrs. Bopkin and Pie's adventures whilst visiting Sin City.

There must be more than a slight chance of bumping into them on days off, and with Master Pie being a Vegas Virgin, I'm sure a little avuncular advice would not go amiss.
