I had a feeling this morning when I woke that was reminiscent of days gone by. You know the one, when you wake up in a bed that you soon realise isn't your own. "Have I done something silly? "
I turned on the ipad and was met with a resounding, YES
Never a good idea to post after having a drink, being knackered and having lost money.
Grim reading. Certainty, my most embarrassing post yet.
Particulary cringeworthy as the bit about not posting anymore. What a hypocrite. Ive been vocal in the past about people doing the attention seeking I'm leaving stuff. And then I do it.
I'll leave the post there as a reminder to myself. Please disregard it all other than the "tool" bit.
Oh, and the bit about the slacks. They reallt are excellent" by Hugo Boss, which is a lttle bit ironic, don't you think? ...
Thanks for kind words people. I don't deserve them.
Was about to delete the above post but had second thoughts. It's a fine line. No one wants read moaning posts about losing nights. Problem is, then when you post after a good night someone will say that you only post when you win. Troublesome. Not sure whether to retire this thread again. There's no interaction, prolly least read thread on here. That's all my fault. I do just drone on a lot. Think I'm in a bad mood tonight and sulking a bit. On the plus side, bought a cracking pair of new slacks today Best leave it there. Good luck all. Posted by Jac35
what do you expect when you ask questions about classical music and then don't acknowledge a reply
or was it just a cricket in-joke that i didn't get
whatever
quid pro quo jac
(all very tongue-in-cheek, haven't started drinking early)

Lol
In all fairness geldy I normally reply to every post.
Must have missed that one. Will reply later properly.
Good revenge though!
Quoting me so that even if I changed my mind and did delete it's there for ever more.

I often find this with my thread. Perhaps people don't like ramblings of young and old men alike?
I'd like to think there are a few people who read my diary who don't post too. I find on occassions that some people on the tables start talking to me purely because they know I have a diary whether they've posted on it or not.... which is nice. Thats certainly one positive in having a diary - that people recognise your name and dont mind starting a conversation. Makes for a nicer nights poker than everyone just sitting there as strangers.

Must have caught you near the end of your bad run last night, when you gave a tiny chunter. Thought it was a standard shove spot from my point of view, maybe not, maybe you had too many BBs. Suddenly felt very guilty that I'd done something wrong, not something I'd normally concern myself with.
Anyway, that interaction thing... have you heard the Partridge audiobook? It's a must.
Oh yeah knew I left something out from my Partridge reply.... The 'autobiography' is very good, I 'read' it as an audiobook and while I do usually preferring doing the reading myself I imagine it was probably better in audiobook form for this one cos it's read in the voice of Partridge. Very good.

This made me feel like the sort of person who spends 20 minutes enjoying a buskers music making abilities and then wanders away w/o leaving as much as a shilling in his guitar case.
Soooooo let me tell you that this thread is a gem. You have a very entertaining writing style which showcases a real eye for the good, the bad, the ugly and the comedy of human behaviour and interactions. A honest diary should cover the highs and lows so please keep chunteringabout the badbeats and suck outs (for the most part you have a most eloquent chuntering style).
Hope you run better tonight. Wear the new slacks, they may be as lucky as they are stylish!!

Oh no!
I feel really terrible now. I spoilt your enjoyment of the game. Of course it was totally standard Mike. Ak v pair late on in a Dym. I'd just lost a few flips in quick succession and think I wrote "shock" in the chatbox?
I hate to think I would offend anyone in a chatbox. Certainly not you, you're one of the nicest people I've ever met.
I'm really sorry.
.....
I'll move on now. No, I hadn't heard of the audiobook and to be honest I've never bought one. However, a Partridge one? I think I might have a look at that.

Thanks very much. That means a lot.
Another forum I go on, shows the amount of views on each thread. Maybe they could be added here. It would help my very fragile ego!

Just had my biggest ever losing night on Sky. In fact prolly in the last 5 years. Not pretty. I'll spare you the details. Rewards points were amazing though. Posted by Jac35
Ha!
Always a cloud to evey silver lining. Like. You are my kind of man.
Lack of interaction? I'd say this was the most popular Diary here, or not far off it.
I agree, it would be better if there were "View Counts", as you mentioned they have elsewhere, but there are many things that would help, too, like emoticons etc.
The Business knows the View Counts, but choose not to publicise them.
I love the honesty in this Diary. Most (not all) Diaries amount to "I played well & won", or "I ran bad & lost", very few are honest enough to admit their failings & weaknesses.
Keep it going.
When is the "Big Day", when your new arrival is expected?

No... i really do try.
