Prose from a Poshboy

[RickBFA]

Drove down with Hannah to Cambridge to attend a church service for which my brother had written a piece of music. He composed it, rehearsed the choir and conducted them tonight, not bad for a 17 year old.

For those who don't know, from the ages of about 8-15 I was in the church choir, rehearsed every friday night (lad) and went every sunday morning. I was never really religious I just loved (and still do) love church music. Music written centuries and centuries ago is still performed all over the world - I think that's pretty amazing.

I realise I'm in the absolute tiniest of minorities on this one, I don't know anyone my age except a couple of school friends who share this passion, so it mostly slowly dies away until occasions like today or Christmas where I rediscover it.

During the sermon, I got to thinking about how refreshing it is to go to church as it forces you to just sit there in silence and think, which is something that I for one never ever do. Even as an unemployed 23 year old, with few responsibilities, I never just sit there and think about things. There's always too many distractions. You get lots of productive things done just by sitting and thinking about them and it helps you to realise and solve things much quicker.

Like I said, I'm not religious, and the religion isn't shoved down your throat in this church, it's just there if you wanted. However, during the prayers I couldn't help but pray to "run like you in vegas" haha. Probs getting smitted now on the plane lol.

I would echo these sentiments. As a kid I got taken to mass every sunday morning by my Catholic mother but I'm not particularly religious and now go to church a couple of times a year.

The hour spent there with no ear ache from the missus or kids :-), no mobile phones etc is the only time to sit and relect and think about life.

The other escape I found from the rat race has been reiki, fantastic for relaxation and stress busting for me.

People need to have more baths imo!

I do all my thinking and reflecting in my 2 hour long bath soaks. Leave the phone downstairs, lock the door, bubbles to the ceiling, easy game! Saves going to church anyway.

I have minimum 3 baths a week. In before showers on the other days.. sometimes I will have a shower, then have a bath just so I don't have to ruin my relaxing time with actually cleaning myself.

Obv now everyone is picturing me in the bath. If you wasn't you will now...

Does anybody know how to stack your tables on stars but then when you're allin on a table it moves that table to a different zone on your screen so you can sweat the allin?

I think I remember Mond saying something about doing this using table ninja or something and would quite like to do it.

Table ninja set up two stacks. All tables on one. Hotkey to move table in focus to other stack. Hotkey to move it back etc


Are you jealous that there is someone out there who runs more golden than you at live tourneys now?

Yes hot key in table ninja. Click the 'set table aside hotkey' in the 'table control' tab. Then when u click on choose location you move a small table on the screen to where u want it (corners are usually best)
