So Dubrovnik to start with. Words cannot do it justice, so here are some of the best photos.

Our hotel. 4 or 5 amazing restaurants, 3 pools, 2 gyms, sports centre, spa - the full shebang.

A beach. Went on a boat trip to some islands, did some sea-y stuff. Amazing colours here.

Kings Landing.

The company

Every trip or holiday I've ever been there's always been a small part of me that has been looking forward to going home come the last day. Not a single morsel of my body wanted to leave that place, I absolutely loved it there.

Never been to Dubrovnik myself, but have been to Split a couple of times. Beautiful place!

Just adding to the natwest thing :

Have had 2 natwest business accounts for 8 years ( business established 15 years..never had an overdraft or borrowed a bean ) the accounts are a partnership..am splitting the company into two with the new one being limited myseld as sole MD..

Took 2 months..yes 2 months to get an appointment..'yes we will get the manager to call you back'..finally went to see the nat west bank manager..not at my branch either..had to go to a branch in east london ??.. filled in all the forms ..

er we might have a problem..

really ?..

yes i have to refer the opening of the account to head office and our risk assessment team

i only want to open an account for the new registered company .. we don't want to borrow any money..we have been with you for 8 years.. as you can see there is a large amount ( thin ) in the accounts at the moment..we have never asked for an overdraft ( actually thats a lie we asked for a 10 grand facility once they asked us to put up a £500,00 house as security ) or borrowed any money.. why does it have to go to risk assesment?

They dont tell me that.. we will get back to you within 5 working days

That was 17 days ago...

To say im confused is an understatement... Nat West customer service absolutely stinks


Still Waiting Smiley

Another good Natwest story.. Friend had a nat west account for twenty one years was still current and used came into a inheritence.. wanted to open a savings account alongside it so could put £40K into it..Nat West refused to open account and gave no reason LOLOLOL

Is that your baby Bro, far left as viewed, the one who is in that "Blue" (?) music thing?

Very handsome young man. Has that sort of Lady Diana head posture.

What are his plans for the future, as to career?

What does he think about you pokering full time, winning & losing 5 figure sums seemingly routinely?

Were you home in time to watch Last Night of the Proms? It was, as always totally wonderful. They had a Lady Conducter person this year, Marin somebody. Dead ringer for Angela Merkel. Full write up on my Diary, which is blondes home for Art & Culture. (Includes Debbie Harry & BS 497).

^That brings us nicely onto the next post. Bobby's graduation

 Click to see full-size image.



For me to call an occasion pretentious, you know it must be something quite extraordinary, in the true sense of the word.

Entirely in Latin, the Oxford University Graduation ceremony is completely ridiculous from start to finish. You can buy the lot on DVD if you fancy, just £30 a pop. It was a nice day however, and Bobby was chuffed to bits, and was important to him that we shared it with him.

First time the original 5 Goulders have been together alone for a good 3/4 years. Mark and I putting the casual into smart casual.

Bobby moves to London in a weeks time, to start a year course in Music Production at the Abbey Road studio. It's produced a few famous groups in its time...

You sure Bobby is not related to Princess Di? His head posture really reminds me of her.

I forget things so easily, sorry, but I had forgotten, or never knew, you had another Brother, Mark.

What does Mark do by way of a career or Profession? Where does he live?

Can you also just confirm his mothers maiden name and last 3 digits of his security code on the back of his card Wink

Pokerwise, I’ve had some big swings over the weekend.

Thursday I played in a tough, big, game and ended up the biggest winning holdem cash session of 2015.

Friday at one point, I was winning more than I won on Thursday, but ended up in my biggest ever losing cash session! Nasty swing that was. Felt fine about it though, was in good spirits throughout.

The truth is I’m due to lose a lot more than that given the stakes I play nowadays, (I have lost more in Macau but that was on a stake) and it’s a testament to how good I’ve ran (or how nitty I’ve been with quitting) that I’ve never lost more than that before. As Mitch put it “I’ve lost more than that in a 1/2 game!”.

Saturday night, I completely god-moded a smaller game and won it all back plus interest. How ridiculous is that?! People shaking their heads all night at my good fortune. “It took me 18months to make back what I lost in my biggest losing session and you win it back the next day in a 1/2/4 game!” said anon...

Cash games this week, then Keith's stag do in Amsterdam on Friday!!!
