Decisions decisions

[Mr F]

OK if possible I'd like people's opinions on this one.  You have two choices for the weekend of the 18th and 19th march.

Choice 1
You're a member of a poker forum who have organised a tournament for their members in Glasgow.  It's the second time they have done this, you went to the first one and had a fantastic time and know that the next one will be just as good, possibly better.  It won't cost too much providing you book early enough.  The only downfall being taking a day off work.

Choice 2
You have a mate who is a boxer.  He has a match in Monte Carlo on the 18th.  You can apparently get flights and acco for £170.  You've known the guy since he turned pro, people in the boxing world have high hopes for his career.  There are only a handful of people going but it promises to be a pretty good night.  The fight is being broadcast live on Eurosport ao you may be able to catch it.


So my dilemma, any opinions welcome.

Thanks

toughy,

Will your mate be disapointed if you don't go? 

[Mr F]

No, I don't think he'll mind too much.  Truth be told I've not seen him fight as a pro yet, something has always got in the way.  But I've done him a few favours iand used to train with him.

come to glasgow watch the fight on the tv and goto his next fight in london

Monte Carlo, don't even consider Glasgow!!

Ferny baby you gotta come glasgow, lets face it you are not going to last long in the £30 double chance freezeout anyway so when your knocked out after 4 or 5 hands have a word with the sort behind the bar (every casino has a sort behind the bar) give her a bit of flattery and ask her very nicely to put eurosport on. Problem solved. If your mate is as good as what it sounds like it will probably only last a round or 2 anyway, and besides i have just got a good deal on a room   GLASGOW GLASGOW

Although Id tell most people to come to Glasgow as its the best city in the world barring none, on this occassion, monte carlo is a must because theres a pal involved. the blonde bash might happen again in Glasgow, but your pal may never fight in monte carlo again. besides monte carlo is a fantastic place to be and might put some heat in your bones while you are there. also, plenty of casinos there

Don't forget, each beer you buy will cost a similar amount!  Total outlay for the night = re-mortgage.

So, on the basis that you'll have no memory of either event after 9.30pm ish I'd go for the cheaper, and vastly more fun, option in Glasgow!

What exactly are you trying to say Sheriff!!??

Just out of interest can someone give me an impression of how expensive it actually is over there?

Cheers

I distinctly remember a conversation early doors at the Broadway in which you said you weren't going to drink on doctors advice.

I remember another one at around 2am which went along the lines of "Allllllllrrrrraaaaaaaaahhhhhhh S'riff, great niiiiiiiiighhhht.  Arrrrgggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh uuuuu haaaaavin' a goooood ..............." (sound of Mr F's face hitting floor, followed by snoring).

As a rough outline of prices, A few of my mates went out there for a holiday a while ago but one of them forgot to pack his boxers or pants (aint got a clue what he wears) so he went round monte carlo looking fo a pair could not find anything like marks & spencers and ended up paying near on £30 for 1 pair the moral of the story if you go to monte carlo pack your pants if you come to glasgow pack your pants aswell, but if your in glasgow and you forget them you will only have to pay £5  Plus Glasgow bash will be more of a laugh trust me ( coz after the last 2 months i've had i've got some wicked stories to tell)

[Mr F]

Sheriff, it wouldn't stand up in court.  I'd already had three pints by the time I got to Broadway, I probably said that I'd been advised not to drink but that Mel had bullied me into it.  As for the falling on floor asleep, it was a table and in the hotel well after 2!! lol 

Now you see why I would never drink at cheesey!!!

[BlueWolf]

gotta be glasgow, watch the fight on eurosport and make sure you text ya mate as soon as the fights over. MC is a bit too houty Touty anyway, wait till ya mate hits it big which dont sound too far away and go watch him in vegas

[dik9]

Why go to Monte Carlo to watch one fight and spend loads of doh. When you can go to Glasgow and watch all the free ones after kick out time, play poker and get pished for cheap?

Seriously though as said in previous post, how many times are you gonna get to see your mate fight there? Gotta be Monte Carlo, but you thought Broadways beer was expensive?

[Indestructable]

Don't forget the norkage in Glasgow, has to be cheaper than in Monte Carlo.
