That one on the right looks kinda like the one on Come Dine With Me and it was a girl in the Tees area

APAT Cardiff
In the year of the diamond jubilee it seemed appropriate that the queen would visit me with regularity in Cardiff. Unfortunately every time I picked one up, I seemed to flop one to go with it, but then run into someone else with a bigger hand. Vikrum Mehta had me completely owned at our table sitting directly on my left, and I feel no shame in saying that as he"s a fine player. Ran AQ into AA more than once (though did bink a straight against Steve Robinson with one of them), QJ into AQ a couple of times and my final exit appropriately with QJ v AJ, flopped a queen but out to the nut flush.
The 4:45am rise on Saturday to get the 7am flight wasn"t ideal, followed by 26 hours of poker, alcohol, more poker, more alcohol and a rivered 1k cash pot at Les Croupiers meant I was a complete wreck on Sunday. Not best to then sit down for the APAT PLO game, and it showed when i didn"t bother to lay down my FH 1st hand in and another river made it my sharpest exit in a live game ever.
My travelling buddies Chas & Jamie Kearns made it a weekend to remember, we had some great laughs along the way and i can"t thank you guys enough for being superb company. Always a pleasure catching up with all the APAT regs (you know who you all are) and was also great to meet the likes of Lucas & Fidel for the first time after some great online games with them. To the locals I met, I also tip my hat to the likes of Jamie and The Doc for adding to the experience and to the G Casino & Les Croups staff for making us all welcome and looking after us. To the chinese restaurant manager I can only say that you"re a crazy lucky fish, but i do hope our paths cross again sometime soon :P

Been reading the blog of Sir Des of All APAT and his opening salvo brought back some really fond memories of my mum, who many of you will know passed away in January 2011. Today would"ve been her 72nd birthday and I have a tendency to look back on the good with a smile, as opposed to sadness.
What Des wrote about his bus trip reminded me about the strange way your brain operates after a bereavement. She was the first person to enter my head when I won the Scottish APAT in July, simply coz I knew she"d have an even broader smile than me at that exact moment. She"d also be over the moon to know I"ll be captaining Scotland at DTD in August when we all meet up for the ECOAP. Even now, I"ll occasionally still pick up my mobi and go to phone her and for some strange reason still have her number on my phone.
So here"s to Wee Mo, Happy Birthday Mum, Love you always :)
