Well its been nearly a week since i left 'Birmingistan' & travelled back to the luxury of the sarf!!
The exhibition went realy well for the company i work for & myself & fellow bull shitters.....(oooops i mean sales men!) all exceeded our targets!! Now in this time of strife & problems this was a major victory,it shows that maybe the economic downturn hasnt ruined every business.
Yes i know the car,construction & financial people are in the brown stuff but peeps have still got some dough to spend on caravans & all the bits that go with them,the show also contained boats,big fucking boats some of them,and they reported good sales figures so its not all bad news.
I suppose if you have got money you might as well spend it,keeping in the bank earns you f all.
Another sign was seen when we went out,every restaraunt was heaving,even one spectaculary over priced,down trodden Italian we visited was uber busy mid week,and they ran out of Peroni which was a shitter i can tell you!!
Best night up there was def had in Solihull. We ate in a place called 'Must', (we go every year!) its a kind of Thai/Eastern place untill about midnight,then turns into a mini disco. We drank like fishes then danced like spazzers....oddly enough i skipped brekky the next morning,must have been the umpteeth raspberry sambuca!! Thoroughly recommended for a top night,book though,it is very popular.
Cant really write about poker as i havnt had time to much since being home,will crack on next week.....we did have 1 stt up in the hotel.....8 players,winner takes all with a tenner buy in....obv i came 2nd...fml!!!!!!!
And the Glorious Blues you ask????? We beat Villa,we beat Juventus........we are Back!!!!!!
glglglglglglgl & ta for reading my ramblings!!

The Flying Dutchman?
Well thats hardly a suprise.....the Gussmeister at CFC having been given permission to hold 2 jobs by the Russian footy big-wigs (who are bankrolled by Roman.....just a coincidence of course!!) I hope he can help us,his record at club level is good,his form at international level is VERY good but that doesnt always help (does it Mr Scolari?!!!)
Ladbrokes have just joined the micro gaming network....not sure who else is on there but at least the traffic has improved. Last night at 8 o/c they had about 14k players on line,not millions but about a 3 fold increase on the other week!! I only played 3 mini buy in stt's & was amazed to be the only English based player,lots more Skandys,Italians & every other fish seemed to come from Eastern Europe, i managed 2 wins & a 4th so the level was pretty piss poor (hope that continues!!!).
This could be my last post for about 10 days,i'm going up to Birmingham on sunday to set up a show that starts on tuesday until next sunday,i dont realy like doing these exhibitions,been there done that etc;but the evenings on the lash can be a good crack!! (full report when i get back!).
The one place we might go back to, after going there in October, is Caz Bar in Stafford.....if you have ever been there then you will know why!!!!!!!!!
Take it easy fellas & glglglglglgl.
ps... i tried to change the template on this blog & it went a bit Pete Tong,as well as it going messy,i deleted my blog roll.
So if you are reading this inane drivel & i havent got you as a link,please leave a comment & i will gladly add you.

Thats sorted then!!
Well Roman Abramovich must have read my last blog entry (see below) and decided to take immediate action......well 2 days after!
A bit of a shock tbh but not totally unexpected,at least it gives the new boss just under half the remaining games to sort it & make improvements.
I read a while ago that some of the senior players (Lamps & JT were amongst the list) had expressed dismay at the lack of fitness training under Scolari's regime,we seemed to run out of puff in the last few games so hopefully this will change.
Imo we possess the players to be up the top of the league & not fucking about in 4th (which is just as well as the new boss is stuck with them until the summer!),but we have got to improve & fast or the top 2 (& maybe Villa) will put far too much distance between us.
Finally,dont feel too sorry for Scolari,he knew he had to get results fast (4th isnt good enough) & he must have seen what happened to Jose & Avram Grant when things didnt go how Mr Russian moneybags wanted them to. Big Phil i'm sure has coined a huge wedge in compo,its just a shame his CV has been messed up!! glglglgl to you all (& glglglglgl to the Blue's next gaffer....i think you may need it!!)

Big Phil...sort it...NOW!
From being top of the tree a few weeks ago,the mighty CFC are tonight 4th & i'm not happy!!
FFS,we cant even take 3 points from a home game versus Hull.
No disrespect to Hull but these are points that we should be grabbing with both hands. A poxy draw is not good enough,Villa go above us,the dirty Scouse slags won tonight & i cant see the Hammers holding off the Mancs tomorrow. We are losing ground rapidly & need to get back to winning ways, consistently & fast.
'Big' Phil Scolari (why the 'big' tag? ....probably the size of his wages!) came to the Bridge with a good record but to be honest,he inherited & managed a truly fantastic Brazil side & a good Portugese side that had enough flare & skill to trounce the opposition no matter who was in charge.......is he just a mediocre manager who will fail to replicate his earlier success. I do hope not but give me Jose any day!!!
On the poker front....well,bugger all really!! I'm away on works biz next weekend for 10 days (details in the next blog!!) & then i will continue my assault on the fish (or just become a bigger one!!!) glglglglgl to you all.

Pills & Points!!
Ladbrokes have really got on my hooter this week,i played a fairly huge amount of HU & STT's in december & last month & amassed quite a few 'frequent player points'.
I used a few up on their FPP gtd tourneys & thought i'd try another one the other night;but......little did i know ( or had read & forgotten!) they dont fucking well roll over!! I've obv allways got them but havnt taken much notice of them,now i want them they have fucked off!!! Poker Stars keep your FPP'S for ever.even though my a/c has been run down to nothing, i can still use my points (for sattys etc.) but Laddies snatch them back at the end of the month......tight twats! If you read Joppa's excellent blog http://joppa-road.blogspot.com/ then you see he isnt too keen on them either, we cant be the only 2 complainers & on a site with so little traffic its a bit bad. ( i know they have their 'rake race' & all that nonsense but thats not realy for mini stake fish like me!!!)
Today i went to the docs,i have had pains in my chest for a couple of weeks & it hurts like hell & wasnt getting better.
I knew (hoped!!) it was only a strained muscle but just needed the doc to tell me!! The problems he said were as a result of coughing my guts up when i had killer man flu at xmas & the new year i have torn loads of the little muscles that are in between your ribs.......he still listened to my heart & lungs etc & gave them the all clear...PHEW!! So he just prescibed me some strong painkillers. Off i went to my chemist & handed over my £7.20. Luckily the pharmacist was there & recommended buying the same poxy tablets,but not via script. these cost £1.95. why o why didnt my doctor tell me that & save me a fiver,or is he;
1.on a bung from the drug manufacturer every time he prescribed their gear or
2. just cant be asked & just writes it out coz its easier that way!!!
Personally I reckon he should work for Ladbrokes,they would make a good team!!
Glglglglgl to you all.
