Roll on the weekend. Saturday sees us, along with Asa and our friend Leese, try out an "escape room challenge" in Manchester.

Might be worth doing on the Sunday of the team challenge if people are bored...

It really is. At the time of booking, we only had the detective office and virus available, so we played them. We got out of virus with about 2 mins remaning. The time absolutely disappears when you"re playing, but it"s awesome fun.

Joobs is attempting Sabotage next week, so I"ve just got to figure out a time and date we"re all free to do Madchester.

As Asa mentioned above, we did manage to break out of both rooms and I would recommend it to anybody who comes to Manchester. Incidentally, they do have bookings available for the Saturday and Sunday of the Team Event...

It"s been a crazy weekend here. Breakout on Saturday followed by a trip to the Aquarium for Ger"s 60th birthday poker game (which we were too late to buy in for, sadly) and then a trip to Wembley yesterday to watch the Dolphins destroy the Raiders :(

Las Vegas can be the loneliest place in the world at times.

Not a thin brag or anything like that. Just an observation.

See...you"re handicapped by not being a drinker.

You"re never alone at a bar...I"ve had some amazing conversations with random strangers in bars around the world.

This, I can imagine. Wouldnt be much help though, trying to save money and bar drinks are expensive!

Shiite...have I only had one thought in over a year?

Actually, that sounds about right! Then again, I"ve not played much if at all. I played the Manchester APAT leg and had fun, but didn"t really do anything and kinda ground my way to a late Day 1 bustout.

As most of you already know, Julie and I are no longer together which took a lot out of me as like the proverbial idiot, I didn"t see it coming. Thank you to those friends who have listened to me whine and moan but I honestly think I"ve got over it now and am in a better place. I have a good job, transport options and am content for the first time in a good 9 months.

I will be making an appearance at the Team Event in Luton playing for Blonde Poker. This might end up being my last event for the forseeable future as I just don"t play anymore. Can"t remember the time I last played online and I think I"ve played live poker 5 times since I got back from Vegas in July, and that includes The Aquarium games which I can no longer partake of as I have moved away.

So we won the Team Event. I was a little bit happy.

Back to Vegas in 6 weeks. Everything booked and paid for. Cannot wait.

Anybody reading this these days? Worth me doing semi-regular Vegas updates?

Sounds great Adam.

Where does KarmaDope come from ?

Or is it just an anagram ?
