The best Motorway services are at Lancaster (Forton) on the M6. The Pennine tower on the Northbound carriageway was made a listed building last year, though it hasn't been in use for decades. I think it closed in the early nineties due to safety concerns and hasn't been reopened since. The hexagonal lifts in the tower section are still in use for the ground and first floors, though.

The Westmorland Tebay services are renowned as having an excellent standard of food, but ee bye gum they're pricey.

Thanks Anna & TK for playing my AKs hand. My thoughts were Carrsbar had AQ and not the flush draw, didn't even spot it. I missed the re-raise preflop, should have done it, was trying to be tricky

the service station could be Charnock Richard. It's near Chorley in Lancashire.

Prrrrff!!! Men drivers!

The 'Air Traffic Control Tower' is the Pennine Tower at Lancaster (Forton).

At Charnock Richard they actually have the "restaurant" on the bridge over the motorway.

The Latin word for 'hand' is 'manus'.

This can be seen in the modern romance languages such as Italian, where 'a hand' is 'una mano'.  Curiously, the 'o' would seem to indicate that 'mano' should be a masculine word but it actually uses the feminine article of 'una', 'la', 'questa', etc... which makes it unusually tricky in the normally straightforward world of Italian genders.

Anna.  Tiger bread is so called as its originator was eating a lion bar when they were cooking it for the first time.  Hope this helps.

Tikay, I'm with you on carrot cake - horrible.

Hi there , TK to answeer your questions.  
               mince pies ( AS Xmas ) originally did have meat in them back in Victorian times.
               And  an optician deals with your glasses and the opthalmic men deals with your eyes.

Gollygosh

tiger bread is either a roll or a bloomer with cheese sprinkled on the top.

carrot cake does have carrots in it and was born of ingenuity in war time when there was no sugar to be had.

ever tried beetroot on toast? yummy!

If you are going to have anything on toast you should put smoked Arbroath Kippers on it.  Breakfast of kings

I think I've come up with some particularly interesting things tonight: Unusually charming by my standards.

I'm afraid you'll have to entertain at/ruin Anna's wedding on your own, Tikay. I'm beginning to lose hope over my invitation. It does not seem to be pending.

Back to my charmless self for Richard and Carlo on Tuesday. Tikay, what can you tell us about Simon Deadman?

Still feel sick after my QQ losy to the J7, but for  the sake of clarity. Historically, Optometrists were ophthalmic opticians (they test eyes and issue prescriptions and can dispense spactacles). Dispensing opticians just dispense specatcles. As both were opticians, there wa some confusion, so ophthalmic opticians became optometrists (interestingly we have been metric using metres for about 100 years).
As an aside we never say 20/20 vision in the UK, and that's all American and to do with feet and inches - we have 6/6 vision.
Personally, you can call me what you want.

FCHD

In the UK the word ‘optician’ is often used to refer to an optometrist as many high street ‘opticians’ are in fact qualified optometrists. In other places around the world however, the word ‘optician’ is used to refer to a dispensing optician whose role is somewhat more limited, and not ncessarily a qualified medical practitioner

BorinLoner

Simon Deadman is supposed to be on the show on Tuesday...

Could it be that this is a mistake in the "What's On" thread? Surely you would know if he's going to be on.

MAXALLY

Can the last hand you show tonight be the tommyd folding the quads one again please ......just for the lolz.

BorinLoner

To be honest, I wasn't worried about how handsome Mr Deadman is... Thanks though.

Talking of the "Wembley thing" as far as I can tell Day 3 has ended with 99 left, average about 400,000, chip leader about 1.5 million

Toby Lewis 4th just shy of a million chips
Sam Trickett 7th about 800,000
Devilfish (!) has 700,000
other still in include Peter Eastgate and Praz Bansi and (I think) Amy Trodd & Nik Persaud

The last I heard, "Direwolf" was still in, & going along nicely, too.

I don't know if he survived until the end of play, but he definitely "made the money".

I'll let you know later if he is still in, & how he gets on.

Good luck Guy!
