Tonight, Sarah is in the driving seat, & I'm the manicurist. So I shall be keeping a close eye on Sarah's you know whats.
Hitman-RV will be the Studio Guest, he'll be doing "The Grind".
I think we plan to show the 25p-50p Cash Tables upon which Mr Hit will Sit, Hitting & Sitting, but to be honest, ANY decent cash action across the Site may well get shown.
If you want a particular hand shown, send it in to....
Hi all - good luck to Hitman tonight. Spent a long time with him on the omaha sng table along with Dave Bland in Swansea. Hitman helped me out with some hand reading problems I had!!
I'm off out for a steak dinner tonight so can't play along but wishing you very well as your 10% profit target is very admirable. Have a good show Sarah and Tikay
Trains? Pylons? Well this is sort of a mix - train and electricity involved, so a pantograph - and this is a picture of a class 87 with a mighty fine pantograph. Pretty special I'm sure you'll all agree..... Posted by NoseyBonk
Well that opens a whole new world Elliott. If we are into pantographs, then we MUST discuss catenary. Then there's the catenary support system, a subject which I know fascinates Sarah.
Zurich airport, magnificent and efficient, the marble floors and fluid operations make the airport a joy to pass through. Along with the luggage trolleys which are built in a way to speed through departures onto your next destination. I would be intrigued to hear Tikays thoughts on public transport in Switzerland, after all they are the best in the world.
Favourite Airport has to be Narita (Tokyo) Beautifully managed and clean as a whistle. I went to Japan on a business trip about 15 years ago and the price of everything, particularly in Tokyo was scary even by todays standards. Cost of Taxi from airport to Narita Hotel was £115 for about a four mile ride. Cost of a meal at a Sukiyaki house was £240 per head! The 10 day trip cost about £11,000 each for 10 days but we sat with Mr Richard Branson on the inward and outward trips. Best bit of the trip was that I got to travel on the Bullet Train when we went to Kyoto and Fuji City. We had a fablous view of Mount Fuji.

I adore the Swiss Public transport system. I've not been to Zurich Airport, but I have had to make a connection (when flying home from Kenya one year) in Basle. It would be late 80's I think, or early 90's - I vividly recall it was about the time of "Lockerbie".
I purchased a beautiful real leather briefcase in the Duty-Free Lounge in Basle Airport, & merrily marched through the Stansted Customs Area carrying it - & promptly got nabbed by the Customs guys.
I had gone through "Nothing to Declare" thinking that Switzerland was in the EC, & was genuinely amazed to find it was not. And that I owed £86 in Customs Duty on the briefcase, marv. Still, I've had worse experiences in Customs areas of Airports.

You've got me on a sentimental journey back to my childhood when this was always a highlight for me - and maybe just maybe knows the make model and year - as for me, well I just think they are stunning:
Pets? I got a dog (border collie) called Jacko as he has a white paw!
Favourite Transport, well it has to planes, planes, planes, as i used to jump out of them (parachute included lol) but now i build them!
Favourite electricity pylon design - im quite partial to the 'L6 D20 with twin conductors', however the 'L6D with quad conductor bundles' comes in a close second to help you here is the link http://www.gorge.org/pylons/structure.shtml
Tractors? well what farmer could resist this little beauty?
Favourite airport in the whole world? Well i actually landed in Nagoya airport in Japan, and they had cameras under the plane, and it was amazing seeing the plane coming into land over the water, the whole airport is built on a man made island! Once inside, the whole place ran like clockwork, You got a train ticket and it said ' carriage 4 seat 26c' upon boarding the train in almost completely empty, there are 400 seats, but your in serious trouble if you sit anywhere but your allocated seat!
Dog. Golden Rereiver called Cassie but loks like a piglet at he moment as she has just been severely trimmed due to allergy. Fave airort has to be St. Maarten in Carribean especially if staying in Maho Beach resort which is so close to runway it is unbeleivable.
Ooh, I just remembered. Tonight, on the Show, I shall wear my new glasses without ONCE being self-conscious. Ish. Posted by Tikay10
Hi Tony, Don't worry my friend, you've earned the right to wear those glasses, albeit through your advancing age but hey ho. lol So long as you've remember to unpick that top pocket on your jacket you'll be fine.
