Chompy's Recidivist 2010 G Luton League/Scrabble thread

[the sicilian]

Anyone going?

[the sicilian]

In fairness, they didn't have much choice about the structures.

They got sent an e-mail from the real powers that be saying, "You must use this structure from now on."

George, it was said last night the email they had recieved from the powers that be had been misread and thats why the structure is reverting back

Ah ! the old ' we can't read ' excuse.....

[Drain Alien]

Anyone going?

I fancied it m8 but I don't Reckon there will be many there so prize pool down (and therefore not worth going?)
I know that by me not going I am makin the prizepool smaller so I have just made it worse! 
Sofa ftw

[the sicilian]

stars it is then

[Chompy]

Wiiiiiiiiii, I just knew when I got some (semi) mad dimez off one of the run-good boys it would all go well.
Also Lalit was due to fly out of Heathrow this morning, so it was only ever going to be all flights going ahead and nicely on time.
Even better, most flights out of Atlanta tonight are cancelled, except mine to Bolloxi. Binkage.

* New blog up by the way, same link as before...

Never before has Chompy talked so much Biloxi !

[luther101]

Dagnam it, now I know why I was feeling pangs of guilt while I was watching fireworks out of the window on New Year's Eve - I should have been scrolling through 21 fantasy-based pages looking for last-minute substitions.

Grimmer Noonan's list will be altered now I suppose and I'll add you on to the leader board.

A welcome to the Leaderboard for ‘Phoenix 5’ and ‘Gotcha!’ as 'The Rocksteady Crew' moved smoothly into 2nd spot last night.

Good Luck in Biloxi sir!

[luther101]

Tales of six foot icicles impaling any poor fool that ventured forth proved to be - yet again - a load of Biloxi, and the short dash up the M1 was made in record time.

A sparse field soon grew to 25 and produced a - not to be sniffed at - pot of £1.7k.

As is usual for a Luton Midweek, I'd never set eyes on 60% of the field     ....        I mused that they must have come down from the Airport - figuring that a game of poker was cheaper than quaffing Costa Coffee, gazing at blank Departure screens all night.

Steady progress was made, adopting my usual style of fold/aggressive     .....        flopping quad nines and getting paid helped.

A late arrival, ten minutes before the break - Trev the Web - scooped up most the other players chips in murderous fashion     ……   he even broke into a smile!

Meandering my way to the Final Table of ten (yes ten - for all you hardy souls that haven't been to the G all year   .....      this is the new standard - and about time too!), I assessed the opposition.

Four spots to be paid with Andy Looo, Happy Webber, Athy, Loofah, 5 x Random Donks, and 1 x Belgian Random Donk contesting the filthy lucre.

One RD was overheard telling his highly impressed Railbirds who the four were that would make the payout places - you'd love to be his bookie, 75%      .....       wrong.

In next to no time we were down to Andy Looo, Happy Trev, Athy, Loofah, 1 x RD, and 1 x Belgian RD straining at the leash to get the phuqq home/line their pockets.

Athy doubled me up - just as I was getting near 'shove it in with anything' stack size - being his usual over-optimistic self    .....     and all was well with the World.

Happy Trev was getting a little agitated as his usual 'theft through mega over-betting style' unravelled    …..      frequently!

UTG, your treasured author espied The Bobbies    ....    and 9k it was to go, RD flats, Happy Trev (face scarlet, looking like a pickled walnut) bashes the lot in - Loofah snaps    ...   then RD decides to join the fun.

Happy has A 10 off, Dopey Donk has A 5 of shovels       .....        [ x ]   the flop sure didn't come three spades.

Getting up  - to join the Webber Walk of Shame - the nasty dealer called me back      .....       oh, phuqqin whoopeeeee, I had 1500 chips to come back from the 75k pot      .....      geeee thanks!

Strange as it may seem there was no offer of a saver for fifth - as all around me the other four peered over their towering stacks looking at my 'bowl of rice', with equal disdain.

Even stranger, ten minutes later a UB40 prize was suddenly decided upon    ......      when Loofah had quickly amassed 25k, and bottoms started to twitch!

Andy Looo then departed in his usual affable way and - much to low chipped Athy's relief - RD went to war with Belgian RD, and went out fourth.

Athy huffed and puffed, but had to settle for 3rd    ....      leaving me facing a smug Belgian Bastard with more chips than McCains!

Well the Heads Up didn't last that long       ......        the Plastic Frog's defence of his lead proved to be about as effective as the Maginot Line (musta been all that Ardenne pate I wolfed down over the Farting Season), and the sovs were duly deposited in your noble author's bin.

Ho hum     .....        good news for the G Man/Rockstar/Rocksteady Crew's Fantasy picks.

And to the rest of you shivering poofs     .....      the M1 is open for business

[GMan]

Yup - and after the nasty coup I was BB (with half the necessary chips) and all four of them 'sportingly' called, and then checked it down    ..................       quadrupling me up, bless 'em.
