Duke attempts the Impossible
duke3016:
When you reach a certain age, your contemporaries are also of the fragile age, where illness is a fact of life. One such friend, a Chezger player and sometimes APATer is being laid to rest tomorrow. Sometimes annoying, sometimes funny but never boring, Charlie Hind will be remembered very fondly by all that met him. He never made it to Vegas, it was on his list. He would have enjoyed it immensely.
I remember Blackpool where he was locked out of his guest house (using the wrong key), I remember Coventry where he steadily made the rest of the table wish for early release as he deliberated every hand with the precision of a surgeon. I remember his constant order of two pints of Guinness every round for himself.
The Aquarium is a poorer place, a glass will be raised tomorrow for Charlie.

Great to have the best blog on APAT back up and running!
Cant wait to be shouting "PaiGow!" very very loudly. That game we played last time I was over there, when we convinced the Americans that you were my Dad and Joe Ball was your Dad was absolutely superb. We have to do that again please!
3 weeks today, we will be in the hotel in Manchester, having a couple of preparatory beverages. Bring it on!

I am still predicting a sensible night. We have to be on a plane before 9am. I doubt we will be getting drunk, once we get to Vegas we can do that. Personally I am looking forward to a relaxed night and some food. Obviously as Stu said (quite correctly) a small number of drinks will be consumed. I feel this is the correct preparation for Vegas

I have no doubt I will end up drunk, thinking anything else is folly.
