Vegas, but no Aftermath - Diary

[bobby1]

loved reading this Keith, are you not bothering with the main this year?

cheers

Was going to cover this in round up post Phil.

Basically can't afford to play it this year.

Still need to pay for quite alot of stuff in the new house and that has to be the priority.

I could put up a staking post at, say, 1.5.

But even if I sold 60% at 1.5, I would have to find about £750 for flights and another $100ish per night for hotels. Probably all in all £1500 exes for what would be $4000 comp for me.

Hate to miss it, because I suddenly feel like I'm playing great, but have to be realistic.

If I have a stellar Royal Ascot, or bink an online tournie in the next 10 days or so, I might reassess. But at the moment it looks unlikely I'll play it.

Good luck at Ascot mate, I hope you get the lot.

Think I'm going to plump for fuchsia this year.

Hi Cotter

Never heard the tomato one before I must admit! But, I don't like them anyway (except ketchup obv!)
Showers not baths tick
Cotton clothes tick
Never heard the leather sofas one either.. which is annoying, seeing as we've just bought a new leather one!
Tried every lotion you would imagine. As they bring out new ones, I try them. But nothing ever works well for more than a couple of months max.

Thanks for the post and best of luck in Vegas.

It's looking very much like a soft ground Ascot now Keith, they were racing on a bog in the turf races at Lingers today. Might need the overcoat over the Fuchsia ensemble

U been to a Dermatologist mate? I used to sell various creams for Psoriasis so know from experience that GP's are not great at managing it with their patients as they don't often don't know how to get optimal treatment from whatever cream/ointment/potion they may be using. The senior nurses in dermatology depts are particularly good at showing patients how to get the best out of their stuff. Failing that I can probably give you some basic advice as I dealt with these guys for about 10 years or so and a couple of my family members have it too.

I've got your bank details Malc, I'll ship you the cash as soon as I get home.

Either Wednesday or Thursday of next week. (Staying down south for the first day or two of Ascot)

I have, but they turned out to be the square root of useless.

Went for Ultra Violet liufght treatment twice a week for about 6 months and didn't help at all.

In fact they gave me overdose one time, which could have killed me!

Definitely up for any advice/ treatments I haven't tried before. But I have tried alot!

Ok I write some stuff down for you tomorrow as I'm off to bed now. Sounds you got unlucky with the dermatologist as most do a reasonably good job.

No worries Keith just when you can - or stick it on some guaranteed 10/1 shot at RA for me

Bushy always talks about players like Cantu as the equivalent of loose horses in the Grand National.

Can't win himself, but can certainly bring down or impede some fancied runners along the way.

Pretty meh sort of bloke as well by my estimation.

Thanks!

Leather is a non breathable fabric and can sweat you up when you sit on it causing heat and itchyness. Keep an old chair just in case.

Ooh, one last one from me:

Don't wash with soap. Instead find a Baby Head to Toe bottle that suits. The non branded makes can be best. Boots own one is very good.

Sorry to hear Vegas/poker is at an end this year!

Do you swim much whilst at home Keith?
It must be a very difficult thing to deal with.
