Right off to Sunny Swindon in a few minutes and the delights of the "magic roundabouts", I am there for three days on business and might not get to this blog what with hotels and being on expenses...........
If the hotel has wi fi you never know -- I"ll be back on Wednesday in the $5 rebuy. I excel at rebuys -- not....

We used to deliver groceries to people in the outlying areas who had no transport, pillars of the community us (or mean grabbing b*stards).
Anyway, I was delivering up the mountain to the last house in the road where lived one Mike "mowley" McNamara. He was a bull of a man if a little slow in the upstairs department. Would give you the shirt off his back and then beat you to get it back.
My very first encounter with this man was in Minogues Bar in the village. He didn't come down the mountain much but when he did he would stay for a while and get absolutely plastered. Anyway he walked into the bar and had a tray of the most obnoxious looking vegetables that he had grown himself. They were awful. Denis Minogue obviously saw my face and whispered.
"Buy some off him" says he
"What" says I
"Trust me" says he
Mike trust the tray under my nose and the smell was awful, I picked one particular manky looking tomato and placed 50p on the tray.
"Thank you sir" says he waiting.
"I'll finish my pint and get some salt before I eat it" says I with a sincere look on my face.
"Good Man" says he
He went over to another man, a stranger to the village and thrust the tray under his nose.
"Feck off" says the man
"Oh Oh " says Denis Minogue
Then the scene exploded, Mike dumped the tray on this guy's head and proceeded to kick the Shiite out of him, tables were over turned as we grappled with Mike, God he was a strong bugger. As quick as the fight started it was over. The stranger had legged it and Mike picked up the tray and thrust it under the next man's nose. He did a roaring trade.
Back to the grocery delivery..
I was going down their long drive to the house when a car came out and I was forced to move to the left. Crunch, my front wheel when into the ditch. The other car kept going and I got out and the wheel was well and truly in the ditch. Mike walked up the road took a look and lifted the front of the car effortlessly out ditch and back on the road.. One of the strongest men I have ever met.
