Tonight someone wanted to transfer some dollars to me on Pokerstars and wanted me to give them sterling tomorrow, no problem says I.

"they say I can"t, something about age verification"
"Whose" says I
"Yours" says he
"Eh" says I

So I log on and sure enough a wee screen pops up saying I need to verify my age before the transfer can go through. So I fill in the screen with my passport info.

Invalid passport number it says
"No it"s fecking not" says I

So I email support and my email came from chezger.co.uk

Get an email back stating that they will only discuss my account if I email from a validated email

I change my email and get a validation email

I validate that email

send another email to support

get one back saying my passport is invalid

I sent one back saying was that an Irish thing and would you please stop messing about (or words to that effect)

get one back saying enter my UK licence

I sent one back - don"t want to I want you to validate my age from my passport

get one back saying invalid passport - use your UK licence

sigh

Ok I enter my UK licence and it gets validated and the money can be transferred.

I get a final email saying I can now play on pokerstars and good luck.

I have entered the fecking twilight zone.

priceless

I was very sweet on a wee girl in the village in my late teens. Her name was Christine and she was a really wonderful girl and didn't really deserve a Shiite like me. It obviously didn't work out but our times together were fun.

I was a teeny bit arrogant in those days and consequently got into some situations I really shouldn't have. One year we went out for Christmas dinner because my Mother went on strike. I didn't mind because we had booked into a rather nice hotel in Killaloe for the occasion. The meal was lovely and as a bonus Christine worked in the same hotel in the stables. She used to school the horses and the residents were allowed to ride around the paddock.

I went outside and she was schooling a horse over a few small jumps and she spotted me and came over.

"Can you ride a horse" says she
"Of course" Lied I

She leapt off the horse, god she was beautiful, I must have been the biggest eejit in the world to let that one slip.

She handed me the reins and I managed to clamber aboard without too much embarrassment. I felt like John Wayne as I serenely sat atop this lovely animal. I gently tapped the sides with my heels. No movement.

No I resisted the temptation to say "Giddyup" or some other trite statement, so I made that funny sound though my teeth that I had seen in the films. No movement.

Now Christine's eyes were dancing with merriment as she respectfully tried hard not to laugh. I felt myself reddening up and I dug my heels in a little harder. No movement.

I sighed, relaxed and was about to admit my abject failure when this horse decided that he had enough of this fecker on his back. I felt the horse tense and the next second I was in the air and stretching my length on the ground. I looked up and the horse was stock still looking as innocent and pure as the driven snow. Christine had abandoned her efforts at not laughing and was creased up in a ball on the ground.

"Know horses then" says she

Well ego well and truly battered I was about to get angry and storm off, when I also started to laugh and the day was a beautiful one after that.

Great times , priceless and very much missed.
