Luton & The Aftermath - Diary

[tikay]

Vinni,

As you have decided to go ex-Facebook, & as I've not had time to Diary it either, you may not be aware that..........

Ryan won membership of Team Sky Poker on Sunday, & he done so in very trying circumstances after his internet failed him 30 minutes before he was due to try to qualify.

He told me a few months back that he planned to win it, & now he has.

I could not be more pleased for him. He plays a lot of relatively smalll stuff, does so very profitably, & gets it quietly. Top bloke.

Ryan = jakally, right?

Lol, ryan is scotty77.

Congrats on qualifying for tsp. That mean tikay is gonna be your butler for a couple of weeks?

[tikay]

Sadly, JAKALLY was disqualified on the grounds of his age. Old skool, & all that.

Ryan is "Scotty77", so he is, I assume, about 34. Marginal, I'd say, but technically not old. And merely half JAKALLY's age. Similar girth, though, despite that fact that Scotty has lost about 4 stones in as many months, impressive dieting that.

Railed that TSP MTT final and it was excellent, all very deserving FT and was rooting for Solly, Hursty or Scotty as any of those 3 would be fantastic for TSP

It's quite a feat to qualify for TSP so hats off to Ryan, one to watch in the GUKPT event soon!

I know it's been said elsewhere, but I just want to wish Nirvana all the best again. He is only in his 40's, looks much older obviously. He is one of the good great guys I have met through blonde/poker.

We're lucky with this forum and a lot of the luton regs that we get to meet a lot of good people in poker - from such a roundly (haha) respected and loved member here thanks for saying such nice things.

Love you too and woulda been so good to tag along for some of the time you and Sir Cumference will be in Vegas - Chompy was always a big disappointment as company, out level 1 and stomp off moaning about KQ and Americans and then see him again in another level 1 (same outfit). Been jealous ever since I saw you making plans for a trip.

See you soon Vin

Managed to be the 3rd best wanker in Luton tonight. Pleased in a way as I had less than two big blinds at 1000-2000-200, with 13 left. Annoyed by the fact I played terribly 3 handed, and then went totally card dead.

Managed to win a nice bet v Tighty, by guessing how long a roulette wheel would spin, He used two fingers, but gave it a fair old shove, and he predicted it would stop by the end of the break, which had about 4 minutes left. I went for longer, I then got him to double his bet, by telling him, he can have until we play the first hand back after the break, very kind of me, considering the breaks normally over run.

The wheel was still spinning about 15 mins after the restart, so I scooped. I gave him over 10% of his bet back, as I felt he hadn't really thought the bet through properly.

Sweetest 35p I'll ever win.

Managed to have chips with my pork & lamb kebab today. Not good. But sort of compensated for it by missing out on dinner, not intentionally, just wasn't very hungry.

Need to have something healthy tomorrow, as I'm round at a friend's for dinner, and if it's decided it's a take away, then who am i to argue?

Will weigh myself on friday.

Pork & Lamb kebab and chips = eating healthier?

What were you eating before, deep-fried lard burgers?

[celtic]

No it doesn't darling, hence, I added... Not good!

Believe it or not, I have improved the healthiness of my diet in the last 10 days. So you can imagine how bad it was before.

rofl.

Vinny why not try and make everything you eat for a few weeks.

Kebab type food is absolute bullshit. The meat is just held together by dirty fat.

[celtic]

Yes yes, I know, cooking my own food is better etc.

But to assume that a) I can cook & b) I can be bothered to cook, is wrong.

Besides, peter only uses the finest cuts of meat. He told me so.

[celtic]

I'm upset now. I may have to comfort eat at lunchtime.

Shish kebab (cooked over charcoal, cubes of meat) with pitta, chilli sauce and salad isn't a disaster.  I order a side-salad too to make sure it is enough.

Kofte kebab (cooked over charcoal, minced meat shaped on the skewer) is not particularly good, but is really tasty, especially mixed with a shish.

Doner kebab (elephant's leg off the spit) is just complete and utter crap and a dieting no-no of all no-no's.

So having a kebab is ok imo, but steer away from doner.

[celtic]

Haven't had doner for 2 weeks

I think the way im doing it atm is ok. I'm not trying to lose 3 stone in a month, I'm trying to gradually get myself down to a weight, were I can start exercising. Ideally 15st 7.

That's were the hard work will start. I have lost weight doing it this way in the past, hopefully will work for me again.
