Keeping Warm in Winter

OK, I have had better weeks. I am now not able to make the team event in Luton, which is a great event as I have double booked myself with a trip to London. Oh well. Then England won today FML.
Currently watching the football in ESPN, this season looks like a big Manchester Vs Manchester battle. I think Man Utd will prove to be a little stronger across the season but its going to be hell of a battle.
A couple of friends of mine are going to watch Newport County away to Mansfield today, they are currently losing 2-0, very disappointing start to the season.

Not a good week from an APAT point of view. Looks like I am going to have to pull out of the trip to Vegas, I just can"t find a solution to the problem I had getting some of the time off work. I am also away in London on the week of the Luton event so I am not going to get to that one either. Looks like the next APAT event I am getting too is the Euro"s in Jan. I wasn"t going to go to that one but might have too now.
I have arranged another Team Viewer session tomorrow to work on my PLO cash game with a very good player from over on Blonde. I also had a small result in the mini Primo on Sky last week came 7/360 for about £100, which isn"t bad for a fivers entry. I think I am going to try to play a few more tournaments on there.
I also need to look at my approach to live poker. At the moment my live play is made up entirely of APAT events, which I no longer take seriously. When I go to them I am not even really thinking of them as a poker tournament but more as a mini holiday with some poker mixed in. Therefore I am going to start playing more local events which I reckon I might be able to take more seriously as I think I am hurting my game. I will obviously still play APAT just need to stop playing it exclusively.

Bored with poker at the moment, played a little bit of PLO yesterday broke even but could not get my best game going, I"m sure it will come back though.
A couple of my mates went to Braintree to watch Newport county yesterday, long trek down the M4 and M25 that. The fact the team coach broke down is funny, but not as funny as the replacement coach they sent them also broke down. Newport lost 1-0 and things are not looking good in the Blue Square Prem. Will do well to get a mid-table finish at the moment.
I am also setting myself a little challenge. I have put £100 into my Betfair account and have to get to £200 on the exchange. I am a massive favourite to go broke but fancy giving it a go. I am going to go the following to begin with:-
Mark Webber to come top 3 in the F1 drivers Championship (2.0) £5
Michael Shumacher to finish above Nico Rosberg in the drivers championship (2.52) £3

Been meaning to post an update here for ages but have been doing loads of stuff.
Away from poker, Newport County have sacked their manager? I don"t see what this achieves, sure the start to the season has not been great but performances have been much better than results. I would have liked to see him given more time but you do have to ensure you stay in the division and give the new man a chance to maybe even get a playoff spot. Although I don"t live in Newport any more for the first time for a few years I have made an effort to get to some of their games now they are in the conference again.
It"s strange how football grounds in the lower leagues are a bit like a time warp in a lot of ways. Newport Stadium is the same as the old ground (Somerton Park) used to be nearly 20 years ago, same kinds of people. The bar is a lot nicer though we go in there after the matches on a Saturday and watch whichever premiership game is on.
I have decided that over Christmas this year I am going to try and do something nice for people, something better than just giving some money to something. I don"t know what yet but will think of something.
I am also going down to London in a few weeks, mainly just to spend time in as many pubs as possible (seems sensible). I quite like London but have not been there for years.
Madras is my new favorite type of curry.

Find your way towards Tottenham Court Road mate, lots of nice pubs with cask ales, foreign beers etc and half the price of the majority in London. Nice eaterie"s in the area as well at good prices, though also been a few years since I was there.
