    Happy Harry's staying, Tommy? I certainly am as i'd a bad feeling they may snaffle Moyes as he's done a great job at Everton considering the cah he's had to spend. Don't you agree.

    I had a wry smile when i saw your winnings for last month. I was chuffed to be be in profit toooo!!!!! And for the last four months......but for less than ten squid on in the last two. Now thats enjoying the game for little reward.

    Enjoying your thread Tommy but god knows how you manage to keep your job tied down and still do that amount of poker. I was a matths teacher before ill health retirement gave me my life back again. Its great to be able to learn different skills(hence why i took poker up) andtravel for different experiencs and i can't say i miss it. You must have a good handle on things and i hear you do  radio show commentating too? A man of many skills.

    All the best

    PS Didn't i hear there was an OFSTED inspection at your school next month.......................noooooooooooooo!

    JUST JOKING!!!

    Liked your neighbour background story Tommy. Brought a smile to my face in a trying week, cheers.

    Looking forward to all their responses after they all get a registered letter off me which points them to this thread. Unless, you or your better half catch the postman 1st ofc

    Talking of postmen, why does Postman Pat have a black and white cat?

    (because he could not afford a colour one!) 

    ^^ you can have that one for free :)

    With your background, can't believe your moving house and passing on the reality series...

    Haha, that's not a bad idea.  We'll call it 'The Block.'  Episode one, Hyacinth is perturbed because it's late at night and Dot is entertaining company again.  She wants to do something, what should she do?

    1)  Jump up and down on the bed and through the medium of grunts and groans pretend that you are entertaining company too?

    2)  Bang on the ceiling with a broom-handle and scream 'Get there already!'

    3)  Run around your flat and scream 'Murder!  Murder!'

    According to her, she actually did one of these things.  Feel free to guess, first right gets the prize of self satisfaction.

    I feel I need to flush out the German's appearance.  He's a big lad, in height and width.  When not in his work suit he normally wears:

    Brown sandals and white socks
    Beige shorts
    A T-Shirt normally with a fantasy scene on it like a dragon bellowing fire
    Backpack, both straps on shoulders.

    The TV series is sounding better all of the time.

    Hi Tommy,  Hope you didnt mind my reference to you in the thread i started, but I am curious why the female avatar? Mike
    Posted by Woogie8688
    Not sure if I answered this one before but I'm quite happy to answer it again.  It boils down to the fact that I was sat with the GF when picking an avatar.  I let her choose (error).  She saw the blonde lady avatar, said 'That looks like me, and I've got that headband, go for that one.'  It's kind of stuck since then, to be fair I'm normally on Miniview so I rarely see it.

    Cheers Prof, mentioning the O word just made me spit my tea out.

    On the profits, I felt a little uncomfortable detailing that.  I like to GIQ but I felt with the rake race that stat needed to be in there.  There is little point making 2k+ in Cash for Points if you've dropped 5k in that month.  Until another challenge or such I will not be putting profits/losses in this thread.

    With football, chuffed to bits 'Arry is staying.  You mention Moyes, I'm not sure where I stand with him.  He has done a fantastic job with Everton, next to no resources, always selling decent players and still competitive towards the right end of the table.  However Everton are easily my least favourite team to watch in the Premier League.  A few years ago I commentated on a West Ham v Everton League Cup match, it was so bad I legitimately caught the flu and was laid up for days after.  Now if Moyes was to take over a club like Spurs with more creative players and better funding, would he come out of his shell and manager a team with more flair or would he stick with what he's been doing and take the conservative route?  I can't answer that and we'll never know unless he's given the chance.  I would say though, and this will annoy all fans from the Red half of Merseyside, he is a much better manager than the much lauded Kenny Dalglish Yet Dalglish will end the season with one, maybe two cups and be recognised as much more successful.  I still think Moyes has done a much better job than him.  Football can be silly.

    You're more than welcome Maxy, I hope the week gets better for you.

    Postman?!?  I live up a hill and judging by the mail we get they only venture up here once a week.  Now the people who own the local curry house, they are made of sterner stuff.  I get a menu from them put through the door on a nearly hourly basis...

    I have voted for the Mayor of London.  I did my normal thing when I vote, have no idea who to vote for before getting in the booth.  I might mention my picks later, right now I want to talk about what made my GF go mental in the booth next to me.  They write the serial number of your voting form next to your name on the registration sheet.  Therefore it is not a secret vote.  She went mental about this in the polling station and I tend to agree with her, if you did want to vote for an extreme end party (both the BNP and the Communist Party were on one of my sheets IIRC, two ends of the political spectrum with their own stigmas attached to them) you could be tracked.  I really don't like that, anyone know why they do this?  It seems to me to be a bit of a tool to further put the boot on minority/new/up and coming political parties, thus keeping all the power in the same places as always.
