Jeeeez just had a look at that office quiz.... I consider myself a pretty massive fan and just a quick glance made me think I'd probably be lucky to get 30-40!! Sick skills on your score JJ!
Had gone 100 MTTs without any real deep run, which to me is about 25 sessions, so about 2 months!
Have some faith back now, maybe I can heater again.

@ Pad - No, you aren't the only 1. I'm amazed that there are still people around who haven't seen The Office. In a way I'm envious that you have 6 hours of the best TV ever made to watch for the first/2nd/3rd/4th etc time whereas I've seen them all 50+ times. Still brilliant though WATCH IT!
@ Gaza - Is that a serious comment? As above, I kinda hope it is, because if so I have hours of great TV to watch that I've never seen before. Honestly haven't made any effort to watch it, not even seen a clip!
@ Trebor - Replied to your PM last night, sorry for the delay.

I only played 7 x £10.50 HU sngs on sky after the MTT run.
Won 5 for a profit of $45.
The action was really slow, the lobby wasn't updating again. It's a pretty serious issue for HU sng players.
People like to join games rather than sit and wait for games to start. So if I'm sat waiting but nobody can see that I'm there, then we have stalemate and no1 plays!
I've never seen The Office, nor do I intend to. I don't watch TV much, well not properly, it's just sorta on in the background. I stick to news, current affairs, documentaries and sports, maybe with the odd bit of reality TV and some gameshows thrown in. No drama of any type, ever.
Thanx for the Birthday messages all. I managed to stay sensible and avoid blowing the bankroll! @ Harry, yeh it was on a French site. I've been on a long bleak run over there, so that cash has repaired some of the damage. Was getting really fed up of getting nowhere so a deep run was much needed, even tough it was rubbish getting so close to the big €€€€ Here's the MTT graph for that site. http://imageshack.us/f/29/fdxm.jpg/ Had gone 100 MTTs without any real deep run, which to me is about 25 sessions, so about 2 months!

Dam right its a serious comment. If you stick through the first season when it was a bit shaky its one of those series that just gets better and better.
One of my favourite tv shows without a shadow of a doubt. Definitely recommended.
My weakness with TV/Film is a lack of patience, I hate having to 'get into stuff'. If 10 diff people wrote their top 10 films of all time list, I reckon I'd have seen less than 5 of the 100 film sample.
So........ if the first series isn't that good I'll probably lose interest and not get to the good bits.
But if it's 1/10th as good as The Real Office, I'll have to make an exception!

@Jac & Pad, once the Bday is out of the way the Xmas countdown begins!

Oh, and sod all Jac.
A penny per post sounds like a reasonable way to reward loyal forumites.
It did fall on a weekend, maybe I'll get a big fat bonus credited Monday morning! Don't mind the wait as I'll have made an extra 13pence out of it.

So lets see if i've got this right...The UK made a TV sitcom which Do7h says is the best sitcom EVER made & the USA bought it and made it American? That can't be right surely? I mean what has USA ever given us in the way of sitcom? OH wait... Will & Grace, Friends, King of Queens, Frasier, Cheers, & The Simpsons? I've just ordered the US version! ;-)

Do I totally flip my sleeping/playing pattern on it's head to do some all nighters, or use the old Sky+ to record the play and watch every ball back during standard British test match hours?
It never feels the same watching sport back when it isn't live, if the Aussies are 220/0 @ tea on day 1, will I be able to stick it out and watch the final session? I doubt it, cricinfo will be too tempting.
Really really good news for our chances overnight.
The Aussie journos been winding KP up, calling him arrogant etc.
He went under the radar this summer, was hit n miss, but we were comfotable throughout and didn't really need him to hit top form.
This winter we will need him, it's probably his last away Ashes tour, and the last thing you want to do is get him even more 'up for it'.
I like Lehmans coaching style, he tries things and likes his players to express themselves and get in the faces of his opponents, (also a YCCC legend), but winding KP up might be a big mistake!!!

Another 1 of Englands so called 'sporting heros' in the news this morning too.
If he could play half as good as people said he could when he first came on the scene, and if he can stand out on the pitch half as well as he stands out in the social/media, he'd be 1 **** of a player!
Absolutely useless, wont be long before everyone is fit, and he's a regular on Arsenals bench.
Hopefully Roy ditches him before Brazil too.
Don't mind outspoken sportsmen, but you have to be able to back it up on the pitch.
He can't.

Monday grind today. Always enjoy playing Mondays! Some MTT confidence restored, I'm full of hope again. Wonder how long it'll take the Poker Gods to crush that renewed optimism!

Need a watching strategy.
