I've only been to DtD during one week but I definitely didn't mind paying for my drinks..the service is of such a high standard that I'd happily pay for it in fact.
Also, in a casino I ussually tip few every drink anyways so there is hardly any difference.

I feel i must write this before the steam has gone .iv just read some ones blog ,
i dont want to mention his name .but i feel i must write with my disgust at what you have put ,
and advise you to take this of as i feel really strong towards the subject of DTD .
in the current climate where people are struggling with the interests rates ect ,any one reading this will think twice about going to the holy grail of poker to spend there money.
I knew rob and nick well before they opened DTD and his plan was to let people play poker without getting ripped of ,he has spent an absolute fortune of his own money so people like you and me can play in luxurious surroundings ,and to stop all the cheating .so how dare you go on and slag the club down on your blog .
There are ways and means to do things discreetly ,i advise you to delete your blog .
barry.
PS I'm not brown nosing either.

I hate posts like that!!
I soooooooo want to read it now.
And another massive lol to the free drinks brigade.
If your bothered about spending a couple of quid on a coffee you obviously shouldnt be spending your limited finaces playing poker.
The beverages served at DTD arent the same as what casino's give out for free. Ive never seen DTD serve a piss coloured artificial orange drink, ive never seen them serving crappy cheap coffee.
If your so concerned about paying for your drinks wait till the final table starts then they will give you a pint for free.

Might just be the wording but it sounds like he's saying Paul left because DtD is shit...(I paraphrase obviously)...it's not a nice piece of writing.

I know, I am not saying that he's right or even close to being right..In fact I very much doubt that that's the reason.. I am saying that that's how it reads and I don't like the way that's written down very much.

Lets clear things up to avoid any silly specualtion:
1. I made the decision the go down to 5 nights over the weekend, for the precise reasons I have explained in detail, and only these reasons.
2. I sat down personally with Paul Jackson and we came to an agreement for him to leave
DT
D
. Details will remain private, I have the upmost respect for Paul and that will remain so.
3.
DT
D
is a members only club, not a public place, 99% of our 8,000 members are great but the 1% of bad apples need to go back to Gala.
heres a couple of lines I made up
"Telling someone their front door needs painting is fine, but telling the whole world that their house is a 'cess pit' is disrespectful - it means you won't be ever invited round for a BBQ"
"When someone runs an orgsanisation and doesn't get paid any wages, he is a 'volunteer'. You can't make a volunteer come to work unless he enjoys it"
"The freedom of the internet has also given idiots an audience, before they had to shout on street corners to get anyone to listen"
Cheers Rob

Those two lines especially the last one, are top class.
