I just had a call from Wilie Tann. Willie aint so hot on posting on Forums, or computers, but he was very insistent that I post this on his behalf.
It's a message from Willie to Rob Yong.
"Rob, keep it up, your reports are very good indeed, we can all learn from them. And you are a very good writer too. I am very proud of you. Well done. Keep the reports coming please"

Fair enough theres always room for a 'real life adventure' expert on the team
ok here you go... Willie Tann, popular poker player sponsored by betfair also known as Mr Miyagi, offers words of praise and encouragement to budding WSOP poker diarist Rob Yong....
Mr Miyagi, inspirational character (played by Pat Morita) in 1984 film classic 'The Karate Kid', mentors and trains budding karate student Daniel LaRusso. Famous line from the film when Mr Miyagi teaching said student balance, patience and poise.... 'Wax on , wax off' .... basically he had him waxing his cars!
No fun when u have to explain it!

No Ironside, he has not. He rung me today to ask me how to find it for him. After 20 minutes of carefully explaining - "click the mouse now Willie", "Mouse, what Mouse?"....I eventually had to read it to him. He's lovely, just lovely. So is his wife.
For the benefit (?) of others, Willie called me in Blackpool to complain that the Live Update had "disappeared". After 20 minutes of careful explanation, I took the easy course & passed the phone to Ironside to get HIM to explain it. An hour later......

True life adventure, now we have some common ground tikay, I didnt have any real schooling and it was through the need to know about other peoples lives and adventures that I learned to read
I will always remember trying to Join a librairy when I was about 9 and being refused because my hands were grubby, fortunately this didnt put me off and I tried elsewhere and became an avid reader
I've read all the interesting looking autobiographys and biographys in the librairy where I live now, then I found that the uninteresting looking ones were often even beter
People sometimes risked so much to record the things happend to them. Those that have thrown caution to the wind and those that have dragged themselves up from poverty and obscurity.
I even find the horrible stories like tales from Aucshwitz uplifting, because they are by survivors, and I love survivors most of all. cast away on a desert island, stranded on Everest, walking to the pole, Raising a family in a slum with no money, overcoming illness and disability, striving to do things people say cant be done
These are lifes real heroes, and they inspire me

What you describe as the "horrible stories" were my favourites too, ghoulish as it seems.
The POW's in Borneo & the Far East who built the railway. (Oops, Trains again...). Guys cast adrift in a lifeboat for 6 months. Single handed circumnavigation in a sailing ship. Basically, "against all odds", "facing up to adversity" stuff. Never read a Fiction book in my life, never want to. "Real life" is so much more interesting. To me, anyway.

That makes sense. From what I've witnessed RED, you're very hard to get rid of in comps. A survivor with 'Aligator blood. Can't get rid of im.'
