After an enforced 2 week break from poker due to convalescence, I went round to Sharons for the Thursday poker sesh. The gods were shining on me, I only really lost one hand after being rivered by Jaye with an ace. Mike just pipped me on the cash game with a £10 win to my £8. I did however go on to beat Noel heads up in the tourney to pocket £12. A pleasant evening even though we were short handed. Not sure about Mike’s Spanish waiter trick with the baize before the diners have finished eating though. Dan B.

MAGHRIBIBEAT at the Trades Club on Saturday 31st May. (A few weeks off yet I know, but hopefully one for your diaries).

This is Maghribibeat’s gig to celebrate the launch of their wonderful and much anticipated debut album ‘Al Sharitte La’Awal’. CD produced / recorded by Andy Wells (Peace Be Upon Him) at Hydeaway studios - the guy’s a genius.

Some samples from the new album can be heard here (By the way, the CD version sounds a thousand times better than the MP3 versions!)

West Ham? It’s like shooting fish in a barrel.

Man U 4 West Ham 1. Since no one wants to post on here at the moment I’m going to bore your arses off with the continuing tragedy that is my football club. No, actually, I’m not. According to my ready reckoner over 95% of people who use this site don’t have the slightest interest in football. That’s cool. I like natural history programs on TV but I don’t much care for politics. Politics and politicians bore me. My personal philosophy tends towards Quiteism. Least harm, least damage. Let’s scrub the board and call it a stalemate.

Worshipping Mammon. The Apprentice. Is it worth it?

Filed under:

� noel @ 12:50 pm

Stupid TV is making me laugh very much at the moment. All rise for The Apprentice. The perfect stage for the vain, venal, egotistical and self-deluded to abase themselves.

6am. The phone rings. “This is Francis. Sir Alan would like to see you in the foyer in all your shabby states of undress.”

Sir Alan: “This is a bladdy disgrace…Simon, who was bedroom monitor in this task?”

Simon: “Well, Sir Alan, I delegated key duties in the teeth brushing tasks to Sara. I thought, Sir Alan, Lucinda shone in the pillow fights.“

Sir Alan: “Pillow fights. I was bladdy selling car radios to Stenna Stairlifts long before you were born, me son. Raef, were you a good team leader?”

Raef: “I thought I led from the front, Sir Alan. Communication is the unequivocal focus of my team delegation skill set.”

Sir Alan: “Bladdy hell…”

Raef: “Sralan, within that dynamic I brought unparalleled and unrivalled expertise in empowering proactive opportunities in personal hygiene.”

Sir Alan: “Bladdy hell.”

Narrator: “Sir Alan’s search for his apprentice continues. Eighteen started, only ten remain. Next week’s task, selling snow to eskimoes.”

Overcharged me again. Getting really sick of this, because if you complain it holds up the queue and, let’s face it, the place ain’t exactly overstaffed, so it takes an age to find the semi-mythical ‘void key’. AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!

Busted Flush Ends Poker Dream

Carole’s progress in the Pokersfun League Final at Batley Carr Social Club, was cruelly terminated when her Ace High Flush was beaten by a flopped Full House, which had been checked on both flop and turn (what was that guy calling with 8-7 in first place?)

Posh and Becks are winding down. Given their fabulous collective wealth what charity should they adopt now ? Some people tell me that Becks is a misunderstood man.

Lucyfur wins April backgammon league

Filed under:

� double6 @ 7:14 pm

After an absence of several months, the Backgammon League is back!

The backgammon league withered away in the autumn of 2007. Why? Who can say. But it was sorely missed. Now, due to popular demand it is back. Yay! You may recall from previous league reports that Lucyfur wins it rather a lot. This month was no exception. Admittedly there were only 5 contenders, but even so it’s a depressing start for the rest of us. She brought the famous cup along, presumably out of politeness in case someone else won it, but in the end she may as well have left it at home. It only came out of her bag for the photo opportunity.
