Tales of the Honeybadger
Honeybadg:
Dundee United 2 Celtic 1
Tony Mowbray has got some big issues to sort out ... Caldwell and Loovens just cannot play together.
In the first half United never looked like scoring, but any crossed ball into the box looked like being a goal.
Two free headers, plus a Daly miss (another free header), plus one off the bar ... United were average and beat the hapless hoops ... a good start to the afternoon.
Levein favourite for the Scotland job ... will not be happy if he goes.

Weird football day continues with the unplayable Defoe romping back to favourite to top score in the Premiership ...
I had thought my slice of money on this was getting rather eroded in value.
Pretty full of the cold today ... tedious ... and mind affecting ...
E.g. I am now onto my second episode of "Golden Balls" ... in the first one of the contestants stole the £5.75 prize ... genius ...
I think it is better than Deal or No Deal ... but you are on the very flat part of an exponential curve here ... how about a game with some strategy or skill ...
Golden Balls ... balls drawn at random ... yet some amazing deductions drawn e.g. you have low value visible balls ... so you are more likely to have hidden killer balls!?!
Question - does that make for good TV - or just random TV?
Should they televise fruit machines being played by robots? (Maybe for the ill to watch)
If people want a human angle then Jasper Carrott can play the fruit machine!
Wow - Defoe scores again ...
Spurs 9 Wigan 1

Honeybadg:
Break 1 in the Betfair Aussie Millions Qualifier
33rd of 105 left - 5 seats.
Weird first 80 mins ... lots of cards but no match ups ... AA re-raise - fold ... AA re-raise - fold ... KK re-raise fold ... perhaps best this way ...
Earlier I fold 22 pre - to a raise to 6 times BB ... obvious 299 flop ...
All the loose stuff I played missed ... everything connected that I folded would have hit ... standard I guess ...
Lots of chips on my table : promising : dangerous ...

Honeybadg:
Break 2 ... and a tale of no cards ... finally shoved the T8 button into A8 ... and won ...
47th of 47 - 5 seats ... need luck fast ...
... and dead in 44th ... K9 into AK ... nothing happening today ...

Saturday - probable BRONCHITIS - Disaster ... not been helped by running around the country to networking events.
Go to Edinburgh on Wednesday - sheet rain and high winds.
Thursday - just the typical ice cold day perfect for a Scotland vs England rugby match - there is something about the moisture in the air and wind chill which makes impossible to function.
It reminded me of the game in 2000, England rolled into town for the Grand Slam, and left with a 19-13 defeat, Scotland"s only win of the season.
We had a dinner at Murrayfield on the Thursday night which was interesting ... piped into the stadium ... seems smaller than the 67,000+ capacity ... the pitch under artifical growing lights through the dark winter.
Food was okay, the classic "Scottish" menu ... Haggis Tower ... decent Lamb ... Heather Creme Brulee ... coffee and Tablet (Made from Sugar, Condensed Milk and Butter) (Ultimate health food - eat it and wait for your body to twitch).
John Beattie did the after-dinner speaking - and very funny - took a Rugby speech and twisted it for a much wider crowd.
Friday back to London for a black tie event (well white jacket and red bow-tie) - in Billingsgate Vaults - had a very interesting converstation with regards to big coporate chiefs competing to get random or themed buzzwords into speeches and TV interviews ...
... and now resting ... playback TV ... the F Word ... Edinburgh"s great value dumpling shop "Chop Chop" vs Manchester (who are going to win!)
Not sure what the correct poker option is ... feel a little in a trance ...
