Oh my, congrats, that's awesome news.
"Orla", that's (to me) an unusual name. Is it Gaelic?
On which subject, I watched the repeat of an old HIGNFY last night, dating from 2011, & it was hosted by a young lady by the name of Sharon Horgan. (No, I'd never heard of her).
I checked her out on Wikipidea - I do that with so many people, it's a grand resource - & it seems she has a baby daughter named "Sadhbh". And it's pronounced "Sive", (pronounced like "Clive").
Wonder how often, as she grows up, she'll have to explain to others how her name is spelt?
We had a few names we liked but with the world becoming as it is they will most likely be interacting with alot of people in their lives that are not Irish and yes their names will be mispronounced alot!
Other common female names here are Niamh and Siobhan, Caoimhe......I can only imagine how these names are pronounced by people that arent familiar with them!
Have a great time Tikay. Might see you on the otherside! 5 more sleeps for me too I'm the tall, handsome, slim gentleman, as I'm sure you'll remember from the UKPC. Posted by hhyftrftdr
I am guessing I am not the only one that wants to FYP
I hope you enjoy your well earned break in the US.
I did a similar trip down the west coast, and it is stunning. I was not overwhelmed by LA itself, but driving down the coast on highway 1 was breathtaking. Stopped on the way at long Beach to tour aboard the Queen Mary. Then down to Sunset Beach, where the cars in the drive are only outdone, by the boats parked round the back. The police move you on pretty sharpish too, if you hang around too long admiring the opulence.
We stopped halfway down in the beautiful Laguna Beach, then the next day down to San Diego, which is a beautiful city, which I much preferred to LA.
I hope you have a splendid time in Vegas. good luck in the games you decide to play and I hope you manage to grab a well deserved rest and see the sights out there. I am going to pinch the word Rotundage btw

The very best of British to you out there my good man, hope you have a fab time.
Hi Mr. K I hope you have a splendid time in Vegas. good luck in the games you decide to play and I hope you manage to grab a well deserved rest and see the sights out there. I am going to pinch the word Rotundage btw Posted by tomgoodun
Many thanks for the good wishes for Vegas from MOTHER, Craig, hh, Day4Eire & Tom.
The Pacific Coast trip will be very special for me. No interest in Los Angeles whatsoever, just going there to get on the Pacific Surfliner. Am interested in the iconic "Union Station", though. From the Airport to the Union Station, plan to take the "Flyaway" Coach, which will at least enable a sort of quick look at the city en route.
The centrepiece of the 2 day round trip will be an overnight stay in Oceanside, and a swim in the Pacific Ocean. Dinner &/or breakfast will be at Ruby's Diner, on the end of Oceanside Pier.
Day 2 will be back on the train to San Diego, & a day looking round, especially the harbour.
Then it's back to Vegas, a trip to Mount Charlston included.
Plenty of poker planned, too, though the first 10 days will be 70% non-poker.
All being well, I'll write a few Blogs for those interested.

Thanks Ger.
Sorry if I'm out of date, but have you - well your wife - had that "special delivery" you were awaiting?

Answering my own question......

"Golden Princess", how lovely.

I generally do OK, I made a profit every year from 2010 until 2013, but last year, I knocked the lot in, & could not do a thing right.
There's always the niggle in the back of the mind that my game has "gone", & I have to be realistic. Whatever happens, I'll enjoy it though.
