Keeping Warm in Winter

Well said Rodders. Gutted for you. I think the sending-off decision was technically correct to the letter of the law but surely he could have exercised some discretion and handled it more sympathetically?
I wouldn"t rule out France against the All Blacks either. It"s the French that knocked them out of the 1999 & 2007 World Cups when they were massive underdogs and the All Blacks have gained a reputation (arguably undeserved) of being World Cup "bottlers", not having actually won the thing since 1987.

OK, the pokers are interesting at the moment. I am bored with online cash games so started playing those 180 man $4.50 jobbies on Stars. Run pretty well and made a few final tables since the start of the weekend to make some small S. Still useless in the APAT league this season, got knocked out by Frank who decided to have a hand when I decided he didn"t. The shove was crap though and I should have check/called.
I am getting everything in work sorted in time for my week off next week. I will be going to Luton on Saturday where my main plan is to help Blonde take down the team championship. I expect to have done that by Monday and will be traveling back. Tuesday and Wednesday is for Vegas prep, still have a efw things I need to do so two speare days will be a good chance.

As you can see I have enough to keep me busy. I have bought my SIM card for the states. Dunno how to use it but I expect Paulie will help :-)
All this needs to be done in those two days. Then I am off to London for a couple of days, it"s like a mini warm up for Vegas (the proper warm up is in Manchester on the 16th). I did manage to get myself a free upgrade to a club room there by complaining about the fact their call center did not do a security check when I called them - silly call center also got a bottle of wine and bowl of fruit thrown in. Not great but not bad considering strictly speaking my inquiry did not even require a security check.
I will be returning on the Saturday in time for Newport County Vs Braintree.
Speaking of which we have Kettering tonight, I was thinking of doing the 120 mile round trip to see the game but will give it a miss this time and follow it online.
