Out and about.

Another month so another show for me!!
This time an outdoor event in Newark.......surely the home of the man who invented anagrams??!!!!!
The friday setting the stand up was a nightmare,it was freezing cold & peeing down most of the day,then saturday it managed to be even more windy together with half an hour of sleet/hail/snow...it was fucking freezing & we sold next to fuck all!! Thank god yesterday (sunday) was nice & we managed to ship out some stuff to make the long trip worth while!

I normally recommend a few places on my travels so here's 2 just in case you visit Newark.

Cafe Bleu. (Restaraunt along the main drag ,close to the church) Lovely but a bit expensive French inspired gaff. Good food but we had the draught Stella & swore they had mixed the barrels with Tescos Blue Label lager...it was like water......always drink bottled bears in these places imo....they either dont know how to keep draught lager properly or the cheeky muvvas substitute the decent stuff for piss water & hope we dont notice!!
The Italian down the far end of town!!. So good i cant remember the damn name of it!!
But top hole grub,myself & my colleague asked for extra chilli/garlic on our meatballs....they were the best meatballs on spaghetti ive had in ages! The bottled Peroni was ice cold & went down a treat,then we finished of with a few 'lemoncellas' (i think thats how its spelt!!) Basically a strong after dinner drink that tasted lemony (f obv!!) & contributed to my serious headache the next day. (allthough the 2 bottles of red between us,8 Peronis, 4 pints of Guiness (before we got in there!) then what seemed like a gallon of voddy/red bull in the club after might have also helped!! And that was Newark for another year,i just hope next time its warmer & drier, thats the 2nd year we have done that show & its been piss poor weather both times!

As for my Poker exploits (this is supposed to be a poker blog after all!!) well,there arent any!!
Going away doesnt help & ive been working hard at home this past week so i havnt played any pokes at all for about 10 days! hopefully i can change that & crack on.
Right then,take it slow & glglgl to you all.
