This is the first sensible thing ,Ironside has ever said .Apat european tour FTW.Surely some of the teams playing in the european team championships could come up with some great venues for a little overseas juant.
-
I"ve always fancied a trip to the principality of Scotland.
Always feels as if your abroad, i.e You can never understand a word the locals say, but after drinking the local firewater everybody sounds the same.
I have been told that the weather is warm between the 20 July and 22 July, more often than not.
The exchange rate is good at the moment £1= 10 dabloons or some of that funny money with strange pictures on, that traders in the UK dont like to accept.
Some of the outer regions are classed as overseas
How about Aberdeen?

Tbh been to Slovenia, wasn"t that impressed, although full of fish from a poker point of view. My vote would be Tallin in Estona. Great place, good casino, plenty of fish, cheap as chips and great extracurricular activities!!! ;)

We"re never going abroad with APAT again
this is why
Re: APAT European Amateur Championship 2008 - Live Update - Day Two
Des and Tighty do Vienna
So its 2am. One of us is frisky and up for action. One of us is longing for bed, horlicks and an early morning
We decide to take a cab back to Guantanamo Hotel as Des needs to drop his bags off
We arrive but the automated check in service has been smashed. Des gets on the blower and tries to explain to random Austrian that has a room booked and can they please send someone to fix the machine
Random drunken Scousers also have same problem,only louder and more slurred
we wait in sub arctic temperatures for the man to arrive. I have a room but decide it is politic to stay with Des
taxi arrives. drunk fella tries to hit cabbie. goes up to his room having refused to pay fare
5 minutes later police arrive. cabbie points at des. I swear des looked at me immediately. austrian police, revolvers holstered come up to talk to us. we explain the room problem. they look at smashed screen and ask to see our passports
hotel man arrives., insists I do not have a room booked despite me showing him my key
police question us about the cabbie assault, the hotel screen
we give description of the passenger. About to draw photofit of Kinboshi when suddenly they chan ge tack when they notice that Scouser has fallen asleep on floor by us and is sleep talking incomprehensibly
Police say I can go to bed. Didnt have the heart to explain that actually I had my eyes on Sonia with the tassels at the cat club and please could I have a lift?
Des gets to his room, minus key, at 5am
down to reception at 12pm to find it deserted with a piece of paper pinned to the desk with Des and my passport numbers, addresses and phone numbers
just online translated the note at the bottom
"these English men think they have rooms booked but I do not think so. Please question them"
Wish us luck tonight!!
-
LOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!! I remember you telling that story!
Ahhhh go on. Just pick a place that speaks a bit of English and we"ll be grand. Can"t base the future on one dodgy night in yer past. ;D
-
i"d be well up for this lol could really use a holiday tbh :P
-
My vote would be Tallin in Estona. Great place, good casino, plenty of fish, cheap as chips and great extracurricular activities!!! ;)
Casino details please! ;)

I have to say as an observer it was a legendary weekend and that"s was without the hilarity of trying to get half a dozen of us plus equipment into the worlds smallest hire car for the trip to the airport. Oh what happy days, something to treasure for ever. ;D
-
Im liking this thread. :)
After the summer weve had, somewhere hot with a beach nearby would be good. ;D
-
vienna was the bees knees
-
Rome (because I still have no internet connection and it"s the easiest to type on my Blackberry) :)
-
can we have a word from mr duffy?

can we have a word from mr Duffy?

We"re at a delicate stage in negotiations with a number of parties on this very subject. It would be reticent of me to make any announcements...early. I can confirm one item though. I"m not sleeping in a cage again.

-

Failing that Ironside if you want sun and don"t want to get ripped by the Euro there is a great Galacasino down by the harbour side on Gibraltar!

Have probably got on too late but tried to buy in to the Luton event, need to play a bit more live poker and meet some of you lovely APAT"ers. APATE a great idea and judging by some of the story"s on the forum so far it would be a great craic. If not Luton hope to meet some of you in the not too distant. Till then all the best online and live.
-
we"re not apat"ers we"re drunken idots who recklessly throw money at each other
(what a weird guy this is)
-
Potential new members might not understand the humour in that David, but to be clear; anyone who acts like a "drunken idiot" at an APAT event gets suspended from future events.
-
Tallin pls
-
From my experiances, it is good to play poker against drunken idiots. Pity theres non around the apat events though.

I"m sure,as always,APAT could go that extra mile.

barcelona
+1
but for the selfish reason that I have free accomodation there due to the missus sister and a few friends living there :D
Great city though, great weather in the Autumn (when the Euro Champs usually held) and plenty of cheap accomodation to be had at that time of year. Nice big casino & hotel by the waterfront and i"m sure there"s another in the centre of barcelona too. Some really good places to see in the off days: Nou Camp, Gaudi buildings/park, Sagrada Familia, Olympic Stadium, etc etc...
-
That orange shoe box didnt do me any harm!! I think I was outside more than inside!
Top weekend. Lets do it again!
-
anyone worked out which wonderfull city on mainland europe we are going to yet?

Hope you are saving Iron, we"re planning at least three overseas events in S4. ;)

but then who would do the washing and ironing?
-
I don"t think it"s a case of sacking the accountant. More like paying her off and I guess that would be rather expensive!!

Three European Events
Only task now is to establish on the pdq those places Ironside can"t get to, and presto, we have our locations

Slightly outside of Europe but I believe it meets the main criteria.
