OK, enough is enough.
This is just plain old-fashioned wrong.
£500,000 for a dog act?
What is wrong with this country?
I don"t watch "talent" shows to any detail but the daughter"s both do and I"m kind of forced to take an interest of sorts by Lucy showing me and her mum the clips of the better acts as the series progresses.
So I was familiar with the athleticisism of the syncronised swimmers, the togetherness of the boys choir and indeed the freakishness of the big girl and the even bigger lad who seemed to sing their socks off every week.
The choir or the freakily talented twosome seeemed to be the obvious choice. True talent being shown there.
But no, that part of the Great British Public that chooses to vote in these things thought not. The lobotomised masses decided that the toothygirl with the cute doggie were the peak of talentedness in 2012.
I am, officially, depressed by this.
Meantime the local G is running a 2day event next weekend. £100 buy in, 45 minute clock, GUKPT structure with 20000 stack. Sadly, it"s had little or no publicity, has no guaranteed prize pool and is shceduled for the week before a £200 similar structure event at Gala.
I"m tempted, but only if it"s going to get 50+ runners.
Erimus:
Got to agree, the dog act very cute first time, boring second time third time oh the same thing again, will she be doing a nationwide tour filling arenas, don"t think so then again she has half a million in the bank, as an aside good luck to her nice payday.
Regarding the G again stupid timing, no guarantee no publicity, although manager says a few from Newcastle may be down, why wasn"t it publicised 2/3 months ago, have weekly sats get afew more in, it"s easily the best card room to play in out of the 2 in the area, it needs to do something more positive to get the players in, it has improved from when it first opened but it still needs work.
Also for an extra £50 plus a bit of fuel the always superb Dtd has a 50k gteed on each weekend this month I think, G pull your fingers out.
I unfortunately can"t play (pretty stupid rant above then), my other carer can"t look after Susan on Saturday so unless a cure for MS is found in the next 7 days I won"t be there.

Lots of online satellites for DTD too...
Although the G field will be somewhat softer a satellite seat would mean effectively freerolling hotel and fuel costs so the major difference is sleeping in your own bed and being able to just go home when you bust out
No decision yet, may just late reg at G next weekend if they get a decent size field, or save it for the WSOP Weekend at DTD
