New Guess
4th One is Lubaantun and the Crystal Skull?

I like the guess... very interesting.  I just spent 10 mins going through wiki to find out what Lubaantun is.  Learning ITT.



Clues.....

1.  Current zone of conflict
2. This photo is taken right next to a famous water source
3. A blonde who posts regularly (5000+) lives here..
4. The tomb of someone very unexpected, but you all know of this ruler!
5. This tunnel is around 1m high and 40-60cm wide...

Correct, this is taken from the rock of Gib looking at one of the shortest runways in the world, I understand you actually have to take a special pilots course to be allowed to land on Gib - think LaPaz is the other super short one.

Unfortunately one of the easier ones.... Let's get the rest!

Struggling with the Cone Shaped Tomb

It's a really tough one tbh.. Not an everyday place or site, but it is a world famous leader.

The DTD500 Mega Sat (10 Seats GTD) isn't on again... ON A SUNDAY?Huh?Huh?

What is going on please???
http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/satellites/500-deepstack

Am I reading this incorrectly or does it say Sundays and Monday- Fri before event?

Sunday Roast
Whatever... Went to my parents today for a sunday roast and it was delicious.  Don't think I spend enough time with my parents really, bit of a shame but its something that despite seeming so easy (they live 1 mile away) somehow becomes so difficult when our 'schedules' are so different.  
Had a great post dinner conversation that started with me listening to my mum explain about her writing course she's taking at the moment for a bit of fun.  She told us all (dad, brother, Charlene and I) that she had to write some fiction.  So she handed me the laptop to read her work and the first word that I saw in the middle of the page was
"pulsating"...

Mum's porn
This was scary and obviously not something I expected to read... within two lines I realised this 'fiction piece' was slightly adult.  Now starting to feel a little strange about the whole thing but intrigued as to what I was about to read I decided to go into the kitchen away from everyone else to try and read it objectively.

The story was to be based on a song and she chose the Dirty Dancing "I've had the time of my life" song.  Which translated to a story about a meeting in a bar and the subsequent dance the couple have on the dance floor.......In Newcastle! ........................... hmmmmmmmm......


I don't really know how to say this but if I didn't know that my mum had written it then i think it would have had the 'desired' effect on me, however that block was in place and instead I returned to the sitting room and told Charlene to go in and read it herself.  She 'squealed' at a couple of the phrases and then returned with us both commending my mum on her skills as the story was very well written, paced, worded and thought out, 590 words well spent, one son truely scarred.

Poker Diary
Then I spent some time explaining about the poker deal with Pleno and why I think I have it, and what I hope to achieve from it.  Including this diary and then some time helping her understand the terms and forum phrases we all so commonly use - tbh, imo, aipf, fml, fmfmfmfl, etc.... Cheesy

It took a long time and poor her she listened and asked questions about all of it.  She was clearly confused, bored and upset at some of my confessions:
- playing a bent £3/6 game in Uganda
- losing £000's in the first few years when my ego blinded my ambition and progress
- playing E100 rebuy's in Brussels and 'bubbling' both.... she seemed so confused I couldn't "wait one more place" - lolz mum, just that simple innit.
- etc... there's some more unfortunately

However I hope she realises that this kind of thing being here and open and IF I use this diary correctly and efficiently that this can be the most powerful tool in my poker development by a long long long lon..........g way.

Fitness discussion and Ab rollers!
If you don't know what an Ab roller is, watch the video below.... I tried to do a knee one and managed to get close but not back up again! Smiley
Do a couple of wide grip chinups on his bar in the conservatory and then we swiftly move on to below - which lasts about 4 hours...!


Zionist societies and Communism and Capitalism and my lovely little brother!

So this is one of the best family conversations we've ever had!  I can't remember how it got started but it involved in lots of circles the discussion of British national Immigration/ Benefit and Support policies; Zionistic societies; Communism vs Capitalism and Jeremy Clarkson (why is he always in these kinda things>?)

So we were trying to work out why some very high % of sport relief went abroad when the UK today needs so much help at home (bear with me).  My idealistic little brother is a trainee accountant doing his Grade 4 and working and at 17 he obviously "knows how to solve the major problems in the UK and world, but no one listens to us kids"  - AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

We then go round about a bit with him pointing out that it is possible but that we would need a 'pure' society with no greed, gluttony or basically any sins... and I point out that eventually someone would come up with the idea for them, and when that happens the game is over!

A bit of banter back and forth.. but it was a really good conversation with us eventually nominating a 'speaking object' you had to have in order to promote better listening to each other, this worked well (despite being sad that its needed) and we all really enjoyed the different viewpoints of myself (mid 20's fairly open minded) my dad (late 40's technical engineer/ supervisor and scottish groaner) and my younger brother (17 and training to be an accountant, very optimistic and naive imo but so full of hope... wp sir).

BEST GROWNUP immediate FAMILY SUNDAY EVER!


Now that I'm finished... woah that was another long one... I do pity my readers sometimes but well played for making it this far!

We're now off to sweat our 5% of Tom Langley in the DTD500 deepstack - with 16 left we're CL with 30bb's! (Tom changed our % from 10 to 5 pre tournament - fmfmfmfmfl! musta known innit = live pokerz rigged!)

Just a quick one to say im chilling on the sofa with Charlene before I go away with work for a couple of weeks.

Im not allowed to say where until after I come back, but its not one of the top holiday destinations that's for sure.

Sigh @ only one person guessing my photos.. Thought they might help the blog get some legs of its own.
Answers.. See if you can put them to the right photo
Kabul
Vietnam
Algeria
Gibraltar
Malawi

Had a small losing session online last night.. Still have a few leaks but plugging them slowly.
