One Night in Islington

It had been a quiet day on the front lines of IT, asking people if they had turned their computer off then on again can be soooo taxing. An evening of Gym and Sky + catch up beckoned when the phone rang and just like that my world was transformed.

Vinny 'Five bellies' Callenti told me were going out for the night and promised an evening of exotica and new and interesting people at a place called the International ( as long as I drove ).

My head was in a spin, my brain said nooooooo !! but my heart was fanciful and full of hope. How could I refuse an evening at such a wonderful sounding place.
I agreed and was hotfooting it to our agreed meet but five minutes later.

The drive was uneventful with five bellies chain smoking and modding most of the way ( most impressive )

We arrived early at our destination... a door in the midst of a faceless building. Our partner in crime tonight was long John Nico29 had yet to leave home and Vinsters Belly number 3 was beginning to rumble.
We sought out sustenance in the shape of a large pub frequented by pretty young things and city types.... was that drainy in the corner with a stella..? nope could never be at this time of the evening he'd have been home hours ago in the leafy subs with LRRH and the clan having level 3 drink training.

My partner said he would pay for our meal and drinks in thanks for driving him but then decided it would be more fun to flip for them. He looked genuinely crestfallen as he lost both flips, and I swear there was a tear in his eye as he ripped a twenty from the jaws of his miser purse wallet.

Refuelled and ready to go we met Nico and entered into the basement world of the legendary Gobshyte club... among its plaudits none other than the chimpmeister who promised to join us laterz as the racings hadn't finished and he couldn't spare the £5k he would make on the last race...

The atmosphere was close as were the tables in relation to each other... a one armed man looked at me curiously... he was by far the most normal looking of an assorted clientele that ranged from cockney gangster to er... eastern europeon gangster. Many furtive close eyed men with tattoos and chains circled the area. I didn't want to win this competition as there was no way i was making it out of this place with 7 bags in my pocket.

Too late and into the fray we launched. Chiompy arrived fashionably late seated close to his good fieind Ade who had at last found more than 2 people who were happy to see him.

I cannot discuss the pokerz as it would need regression hypnotherapy to bring back such painful memories. Suffice to say I was sweating five bellies by level four and enduring Chiompys gags he had used 74 times previously> I almost felt sorry for the Latvian in the cellar on those long cold nights in the fens.

Five bellies had a stack and was playing well and a long evening was in prospect.. I decided to head for sanctuary at my young ladies not 25 minutes away. The dreaded I'm out text arrived 22.5 minutes into my journey.... sigh... an apologetic phone call later and I was returning to the scene of our crimes.

On arrival Belly 4 was in agony and we scoured the bistros and culinary delights of cosmopolitan Islington for a ....Nando's...
The holy grail was reached only to be told they had no chicken..which for a place which sells pratically nothing but chicken was a little odd....

Belly 5 had joined belly 4 in its protests and we wandered the Islington strip with its Neon lit Bistro's in search of dinner number two. I was being led down a dark path by Vinny 'five bellies'. A path that could only end in some tragic kebab overdose. But he was not a man to be messed with when hungry.

The gastronomic delights of this thriving part of London were cast aside with immortal lines like " fuck that place lt looks expensive ' and ' looks like a poofters place '.

Finally we found our Nirvana.. a place named and built for us ' Desperado's '. A place where the non shaving, crumpled t- shirt wearing one would feel comfortable.

He suggested we flip again... my losing streak returned and I picked up a tab from a place where they charge £2 for a can of coke. The cowboy hat wearing waiter smiled cutely at the Vinster as he demolished a Chili Con Carne in world record time whilst musing if Wood green Mcdonalds was 24 hour or not.

Finally I dragged him from his seat before said Ghey waiter could proposition him and drove him back to our original meeting place and draw to an end a truly unforgettable night...

Sigh.
[   ] My un-retirement went well.
[ x ] 13th = unlucky for some, esp me

Spent most of the night pretty card/situation/position dead, and basically managed to stay afloat by stealing a few blinds here and there.
Eventually got it all in with a beautiful AKs and obv couldn't beat that German Kuntz's A6o.
Marv.

Good comp tho.

Whilst I sat there playing texas fold'em, those all around me were hitting cards left, right and centre including Tony Da Lucky who had KK vs JJ & 66 and flopped K (and turned house btw)  for a 40k pot. Then 6 hands later KK again, and flopped a set........again.......and rivered QUADS!!!!.
MBN.

Leaguer-wise, the Vinster, Tighty, Expresso & Plumsy all still in with 12 left. Chris OTB may have been in too?....GL to them.

Drainy.
