chompski what odds for me to

win a seat in the 1000 pound satielite ,10 seats gt that is on today

get to the last 10 in the 100 pound game on monday

and get to the last 10 in the 1000 pound game starting friday

and bring a photo back of dina giveing me a congratulationaly kiss

i will accept 1000 to 1 thank you ,just post here that you accept and  and i will have 20 pounds at these rates......

no affirmative reply from chompski  will mean that yet again the self proclaimed shearluck of the on line betting world was too busy nicking blouses out of his sisters wardrobe instead of jumping on the chance to earn a easy 20 pounds.....

glevana you can have the same bet ....but onley for 10 pee ,the thought of me contributeing to odd bins going bust and people loseing there jobs before xmas is too much for my consionce...

watch out blackpool here i come






i wonder if blackpoolanians know any jokes

[Chompy]

Hope you do it Thomas. But I won't be investing £20,000 to win £20, so for that reason I'm out!

[china mug]

what a easy 20 pounds chompski passed up ,just got back from blackpool....got ticket to satalite

got picture of dina

only made 17 th in 100 pound comp so i lose the bet,if only chompski had not been  too busy trying to colour corindinate his nail varnish to match his sisters  blouse he could have picked up a easy 20 note......had it framed and hung for a year at the luton poker room with a suitable inscription......o well nether mind he was probley too busy looking for a seemstress for letting out work

full posting on blackpool ...part one to follow

What happens in Blackpool stays in Blackpool.....

Usually I manage to get lost on any long journey, on the last little bit as I arrive at my destination. This time I excelled as by having a quick look on Google and an A_Z road atlas which I peeped at in a shop to save buying it           ( cheapskate) I decided the best route was up the M1 above Manchester left onto M62 then onto Blackpool....................added 80 bloody miles to the journey whiuch took six hours with breaks! Not the best mental attitude to play poker with? Got to the promenade/seafront turned right looking for G Casino and drove along under the Illuminations with all the families out with their kids driving and gawking at the lights. Arrived at far end of promenade no G Casino!! (should've turned left instead.....) Now I'm in a bumper to bumper procession of cars that kept stopping every 10 yards or so, my car hates stop/start queues so it starts top have its " Monthly" she starts getting hot and troublesome!.... After 30 minutes of this hell I see the G Casino up ahead turn left and find a B&B AT THE SIXTH REQUEST @ £15 per night. Grabbed key and headed for the Casino as I was now tight for time.
In the Satellite (10 seats guaranteed) 213 runners = 20 seats I got mine.......Back to the B&B and found a time warp room from the 1970's, Steptoe & Son had an episode where they fell out so the salt & pepper, toilet rolls etc etc were halved. This included a wall built across the living room which divided the TV into two halves, Harold watching match of the day could see only the right side of the pitch and Albert ("you dirty old man") could see all the goals being scored. (This what my room was like) with a studwork  wall dividing the room right up to glass of the bay window..............
£15 per night can't complain, woke up to Seagulls and street noise also landlady on the doorstep having a chinwag with her passing neighbours about : who in the road has money troubles, who is selling up, who's full and who's vacant..........so it was like having a subliminal episode of Eastenders drip fed into your psyche whether you like it or not.

popped into a cuple of charity shops ,result a plastic stacking shelf unit in the pile of goods that they have just had dropped in by  a doner,cost 15 pounds in dunelme so i will be happy to pay 5 and put it in the car....ask assistaint ..o i dont know if its for sale or it might be going to our other branch.....the shop has junk that i wouldnt even drop of at a charity shop when i do a clearance ...youre there to sell shit no ntell some one who wants to buy that its reserved you silly mare,   good referance for working in luton g though...
found  a least of the bad places to eat and did  so,following day eat at yatses yuk,
good crack starting to build up at the casino one of the irish crew that ive seen at numeriouse venus playing poker starts refering to me as big tom ....a yank bird who has kept her looks is the self proclaimed poker players mature hot tottie,.....so im out of there correct route back this time ...silly cow in a new shape volkswagon doing 48 m p h on the m6 as we all tear around and pass her ,as i pass i look to see and there she is eyes straight ahead not looking right or left as jugger naughts thread hthere way pass her o a dark moterway where the minimum sensible speed is 60.....you keep it up love you can go to heaven in the safe knowledge that you wernt speeding

im getting train back to blackpool....almost sounds like a amy whinehouse lyric,i will go as deep as i can on fridays main event....i feel good in my self and my poker if its my turn all well and good
if its someone elses turn and i can nick it of them ,also all well and good...i know that there will be a little kid that looks as if he has a paper round and that person will decide to nick nmy blinds....there all ways is one and they allways go a nick too far....

good luck to any regs at blackpool

[china mug]

got train to blackpool for the 1000 game ...felt good and as i walked towards the casino on the beech there was a branch of a tree about six foot long and as thick as your wrist ,any way every thing being all flat on the beech as the tide was out and you had the wavy sand effect i decided to plant the branch in the sand reeching up to the heavens as a testament to me haveing passed this way.....you know like the pyramids or inca temples ect....so i used my foot to drive the branch into the sand where it was ajj wet beside a mini water channel,the result was realey strikeing....it looked like one of those pictures of a lake in alaska or a volcano all desolute as you see them on calenders ,real deep thinking stuff...so pleased with my efforts i proced towards the casino and lo and behold i hear the music wafting down from the pier and its thin lizzy..theres whisky in the jar,,,good stuff...
i got onto the promanade and looked back at my art piece and there were two people walking towards it aross the lonley sands as they got closer one of them veered over to the reborn tree ...and i thought here we go some thing struggling upto the stars and whats there first thought ...go and kick it over....
but no im wrong,one of the woemen is standing by the mini tree as her mate takes her snap.......success...i have created life...ten years from now someone will look at that snap in there house miles away and think ...do you remember that branch sticking up out of the sand in blackpool.....
and so onto the poker
didnt win played last hand terrible....aaaaaahhhhhhhhh
500 piss poor performance played last hand brillintley got out drawn...aaaaaahhhhhh
got pissed played cash...aaaaahhhhh
,remember the staff in the casino leaveing a walkie talkie on our table so i picked it up asked the dealer how to work it ,and pressed the down button and said..dina we love you...short while later staff turned up to retreave walky talkie,ill never know if she heard...sigh

[china mug]

got the train back from blackpool ...much better than driveing,...in my carriage there was a westernised  african guy complete with base ball cap and american football sweeter  on the phone all the time,what was interesting was that he had his ear pice in and wasnt aware that any one within a 20 foot radius could hear his every word .....so first phone call was to his present girl friend...full of curt sentances ,...how can you say that,why are you saying things like that,i dont disrespect your parents whty do you say that its disrespecting my parents ,you want to think what you say,yee so you should ....so why say it....
basically a total pit the stupid cow down brow beating session,with a side portion of undermineing her self confidence and respect.

phone call two is to present girl hes seeing without girlfriend knowing,first hes telling her dont phone him on the home phone number again under any circumstances,yes the train will be in at such and such time pick him up at the station,dont phone me on the home phone again for any reason use my mobile,yes me too ...laugh...your so like me..laugh ....

next call is to his new female prospect,...lot more up beat than the two previouse two calls ...lots of laughing,yea we should meet up ,im going to club  see you there ,great,laugh ...,
i was reminded of the old joke about a cat that eats a load of laxitives and starts going out with three other cats,why douse he need to be with three other cats....well one is to dig the holes that he is going to shit in one is to backfill the holes that hes shit in and the third cat is to scout for new terriority....

got to st panckris station and on the station they have a pink piono with a sign saying play me...a guy was bellting out the titanic song..i think its called ..we will go on ,or simalar....nice touch

as a last thought on blackpool the town could at the end of there season hold a tent race on the beech betwean the piers,...so you get teams from local businesses and they each have a quick assembley tent with six or eight legs to it and they have to hold a leg each and race across the cource,tents could even be decorated like formula one cars or chinese dragons....any way done correctley it would look very funny and become a event that tourists would enjoy watching like the one where people try flying of a pier in there home made flying machines,or rolling cheeses down steep hills....and of cource as they fall over or the tent gets tacken by a gust of wind it all makes good tv filming for the channells to finish there news rounds with...which all means loads of free advertiing for said sea side resort....
i rely should be chargeing for this stuff.....sigh

of to sheffield tommorrow
i wont waiste time looking for odds on me winning the 430 event ,as the sigh master got his aces raped the other night ...all of which he predicted like a car crash in slow motion...king ten flops jack queen nine,....
ok chompski i want 1000 to 1 on me winning the sheffield event with my last winning hand being a flush,ill have 20 pounds on it ...just confirm that you agree here ....

Splayed in Sheffield.

So it's Friday morning on the train to Sheffield, first stop Luton parkway(crap coffee and slashed seats) apart from that a neat station. Onto train on we go, arrive in Sheffield four minutes past one for a one o'clock start......
Train announcement "train delayed due to someone on the lines" which could be some old Fogey collecting blackberries from the rail side but as it's the wrong time of year it's more likely that someone has decided to "go all in" with their limbs against 48 tonnes travelling at 60 MPH.............
The sort of bet that even CHOMPSKI would give a  1000/1 on. End result was arrived late!
first thing I saw in Sheffield as I came out of railway station is a piece modern Art  featuring  a long wall of stainless steel with water cascading over it, which when the sun caught it looked like the filmTHE SPEAR with Samuel L Jackson & Dustin Hoffman where they are all staring at a glimmering gold spear........Unfortunately as I'm an hour + ten minutes late and fearing that I will have lost 2000-4000 chips in Antes all I see is the worlds longest URINAL........
I wonder if the high and mighty in Sheffield that had obviously commissioned this magnificent feat of artistic standard bearing f art to exemplify the fact that Sheffield was THE place for stainless steel had not considered the NICKNAME an out of towner may attribute to it.

So up this bloody steep hill to the Genting Casino.

Or if you have heard enough already"..............

[china mug]

that should have been the sphere ,the name of the film....
any way ,up this hill to the casino,if you have ever seen the old hovis bread addvert where the lad from yorkshire is delivering the bread on his 1920s grocers bike up a fffing big hill this is it ,onley now instead of cobbles its got block paveing and loads of students wondering about ,half way up on the right there is some sort of tall university building  and on the wall there is lines and lines of  words each about two foot tall exaltin the passer by to exalt in all kind of magnificent ways....just the sort of thing a student can read and contemplate as he staggeres out of a pub haveing consumed ten pints and a kebab and sits on one of the numerous benches that are available,looking back towards the rail station there is a group of buildings including the howard pub ...on the top of the tallest chimney of this little group of old 1920s buildings a bush has grown.....if i was a student on bench tanked up and kebabed up i would find the bush growing and survieving in such a impossible terrain more inspireing than the architecs graffetti....
got to top of hill and into gentings casino,saw alan from cash games in luton,the one with the gold boxing gloves on his neck chain ,said hi ect,got sat down onley lost 400 chips on account of being late so a happy chappy i am....ten 1 hour sessions in total take away me being a hour late 9 hours of poker to look forward to,aaaarrr all is well in the world.....a pro player i think his name is julian threw who has won loads of comps is on my table ,i think in poker society hes seen as the gary liniker of the game,mr nice guy ....next few hours im card dry ...2 8 ...k 3..j 5...dry dry dry......not a bean ,nowt dinner break is comeing up stairs to find they have a special menu for the poker players,its on a slip of paper that a ten year old would bring back from there school saying tristian has got detentian ,cheap photo copy not even printed straight ...and the special menu is you can have one of four dishes and its 12 quid....found my self,and loads of other poker players in the pub over the road from casinolarge coffee prawn cocktail and haddock chipa and mushy peas cost about 9.50,nice pub and people ...
back into game ,maybe now ill get some cards....
