Priceless
A Day In The Life of Paul McGuinness
It"s been an interesting day so far for our friend Paul.
It started this morning on his flight from Manchester to Vienna via Zurich. On the flight ot Zurich, he met an old work colleague. Small world hey !!
They got chatting, which carried on off the plane, and through transfers. His new friend was going to Athens, luckily for Paul, his departure gate was just next door to the Athens one, so Paul said his goodbyes, and started to queue with the other Italians (save this for later) at the next gate.
It was a long queue, and Paul was getting desperate for a call of nature. Not being able to wait much longer, he made the dash down the departures corridor, following the signs. This went on for a while, until he eventually got to some toilets next to Gate 67.
Gate 67 he thought, that"s my gate ? What a spot of luck. He"d joined a queue at the wrong departure gate, and it was only the need for him urinate that meant he wouldn"t have missed his flight.
Anyway, Paul eventually makes it to Vienna, and after getting fleeced 40 pounds (which is odd, as we are in Euroland), Paul arrives just a little late at the Casino.
Well, his tournament didn"t last too long, partly due to the fact Paul had been rushing around, and he certainly hasn"t been feeling too well lately.
So, he decides to cheer himself up and play some cash. Two buyins later and he finds himself at the bar with Ger and Dai. So things are picking up.
However, Paul is not really sure exactly where he is. For the tenth time this afternoon, he has confused Vienna for Venice. Dai has asked him did he not think it was a bit weird that he hasn"t seen much water or any gondola"s yet ?
Even the barman is laughing at this, and I think he"s German. Paul has now moved off of the beers, which we all think was a sensible idea and he"s made a new friend. He"s called Jack.
On a positive note, things can only get better for Paul. He"s rooming with Ger, and we may be stuck in Vienna for quite a while.
I"m sure further chapters of this story may well follow...............................

One of the bar brigade brought his wife for the weekend. Multifarious shaking of heads when he just departed to go and find out where she has been for 8 hours
the other two are talking Electricians, gondolas, Vegas and Teenage parties
Locals wise, nice bunch. Mostly German speaking, which is a bit of an unexpected problem
Players from all over are here. Where"s this player from ?

Latest Ash Cloud News - Courtesy of Sky News
A "rapidly encroaching" volcanic ash cloud has forced part of Britain"s skies to close again, beginning another dreaded round of flight disruptions.
The ash plume is currently reaching heights of up to 25,000ft. A no-fly zone has been imposed above parts of Northern Ireland since Saturday night after the "high density" cloud approached the province from the North West. The restrictions apply to Belfast International, Belfast Harbour & Ronalsdway (Isle of Man) airports until at least 1pm. The Irish Authorities have also advised of restrictions on airfields in the north west of Ireland from 7am. Dublin and Shannon airports will remain open until 1pm. UK air traffic body Nats said while there were "no other restrictions within UK airspace" at present, it could change if the ash blows above Britain later in the day. The Department of Transport has warned more planes could be grounded, with restrictions potentially stretching as far as Tuesday morning.

How many UK runners entered (what was the total field size) - rough figures would be interesting ...
Good afternoon, I am refreshed and raring to go.
Furthermore I have picked up a brochure for tomorrow, assuming I am stranded, off to the Spanish Riding School. Bet they won"t let me have a go.
It was either that or a museum on the Hapsburgs. Off to google the Hapsburgs.
That second one looks lovely actually

Bit strange to have an APAT event without Des in attendance - perhaps he studies meteorology on the side and knew what was coming....?!
(that said, it sounds like the casino had it"s own ash cloud!!)
Right, we"re all off to the bar.
This is Vienna saying, goodnight.
Back home
Bed soon.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Many congratulations to Christophe on a fantastic win. We look forward to meeting him at the end of the Season as he"s won a seat at the Champions Final, to playoff for a £20,000 sponsorship package!
Hi I"m Home -- and in the two sats tonight with my new found skill courtesy of Austria ;D ;D ;D

It"s probably very tough to play online again after studying the Austrian playing style ;)
Hello Christoph
To answer your final question;
An end of season Champions final will identify our player of the year and what a prize he or she will win. A £20,000 APAT sponsorship package for 2011. This event will feature the best of our players from live and online and it should prove an incredibly fitting end to a superb season.
So considering the fact you have won one of the events, It puts you in the frame to be one of the best players and you may get the chance to play for the package. (I don"t know the criteria for "best")
I don"t have any more details of the package, but I am sure someone more knowledgable than me will add to the thread ;D
Congratulations by the way. Hope to see you at a UK event soon. 8)

.
.
i asked him before starting play HU if he wants to make a deal. we had already won 2500 euros at that point. but with my HU experience i know it can really change fast expeacially with 2 agressive players like us. we both played big bluffs and wherent afraid to pull the trigger if we had the right feeling.
i suggested to take 3000 euros each and play for the remaingn 780 euros and the ticket worth 1200 euros.
he didnt agree so i wished him a good match and we played.
.
.
.
.
i was chipleader the first time and i guess we played like an hour heads up but it felt like 3 or 4.
than we talked about the deal again cause i thought just one setup for him could change everything in one hand.
he agreed now for the previous discussed deal.
.
.
And let"s not forget the last longer from our holding tank players.
Gianluca Ragusi

Gianluca finished 24th. Now, who would have predicted that ?
Hopefully we"ll see Gianluca in Nottingham for the WCOAP.
As soon as some merchandise is sorted, sometime in the next decade, I"ll sort a prize out
I am waiting with baited breath! ;)
Utterly superb.
