Better an early start than a late finish though, I've had 4 Midnight finishes this week, & I'm wrecked.
[QUOTE]H, Tikay. Great idea to have a moan free thread - very refreshing. It hasn't been a great week for me as I had a minor operation to remove two cysts from my chest on Monday so I shall just be relaxing in an armchair and enjoying my first pain-free day since. Thankfully, Argyle are away today so I shan't have to ruin my weekend by watching them lose. By the way, belated congratulations to you and all the green team for your victory. Cheers Ian

Thanks EVER, yeah, no moaning makes such a nice change. Folks do like a chunter.
Hope the recovery goes well.
Still it was fun while it lasted, hopefully more Omaha H/L will get played on Sky, it is my biggest leak as I am addicted to it but not very good at it!
I will now go and stand on the naughty step until forgiven.
I saw a pretty dreadful match to be honest (Roche 1-0 Edgcumbe) but got some photos of the ground and put up them up at http://www.fchd.info/grounds/roche.htm - Tikay, you will love the dugouts, they're made out of concrete breeze blocks.
You reckon Stoke have any chance today against Wenger's Wonders, Stokey?
The "IM" or "Skype" world must have been busy when word got out that I was sat there with a stack, as all sorts suddenly arrived, including EvilPingu (smashing lad), Hoggers & Dohhhh. As luck would have it, I escaped relatively unscathed.
I played Heads Up v a player, "8MINTED8" for a good hour, & we had a cracking session. Not a word was typed in the chat box until I typed "gotta go now bud, thanks for a great game", & he came on & said that he had really enjoyed the session & thanked me. We had just pushed the money back & forth for the most part, both of us have a reasonable technical understanding of PLO8, & he marginally finished to the good I think.
I'll be on & off the PLO8 Tables again today if you fancy a game again.
I'm sure there would be some sniggers when you say you are going to see The Ukelele Orchestra of Great Britain, but I think that's just wonderful.
The diversity of hobbies & recreations is such a lovely thing. We are all different.
That Ukelele Orchestra even has its own Wiki Page - look.....

Fair to say I got "a bit" lucky there.
On the face of it, a shocking play by me, but.......you do open a LOT of Pots, & almost always c-bet. You can't always have it, so I thought it was time to play back at you, & I did have a little bit of equity with which to do it. MUCH less than I thought, though.
It's only loaned, you'll get it back today. I'll be honest, I really don't like playing you, you are too good, & that's the truth. I saw you had a stack on several Tables last night, so I guess you ended up ahead on the day.
Most unlucky Mr Free.
PS - Who was "old guy"?

Gotta win those scoops.

I believe there is a Chapel on top of Roche Rock, by the bye. The whole ugly lunp is actually a SSSI, too.
Yesterday was a swingy day, lost 5 buyins at plo20 to a guy who opens/3 bets/4bets every hand in the afternoon. I ended up a little tilted by him and called him down 3 streets with kk (flop258r) for a 400bb pot and lost to 5,2.
last night things went well and ended up about level for the day.
The stand shown on top of the dugouts at Brixham was cordoned off when I visited as it was unsafe, I hope they've done it up now as the two Brixham clubs have merged and are hoping to move up a league in the next couple of years.
Stanley United was wonderfully different, the changing rooms and teabar etc being basically in a house. I don't think anyone is playing there at the moment. The other thing that sticks in the memory of the place is just how cold and bleak it was!
Great Yarmouth - the stand has been said it needs replacing imminently for two decades or more but it is still there, I'd love to go there if I ever get to that part of the country.
One more non-league backdrop you'd appreciate - Acrefair Youth of the Welsh National League (Wrexham Area). They play virtually in the shadow of the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct on the Llangollen Canal. See pic (not mine) at

Thank you. I'm going to borrow that, for my Diary elsewhere.
Excuse the "tikay1" Account, but I've Registered to play some PLO8 DYM's &, I hope, some PLO8 Cash, & I am playing on my own money, not the "TIKAY10" one.
Speaking of Stoke, do the supporters still want rid of Mark Hughes? I remember lots of local protests after his appointment, including one individual driving around in a car with some protest banner stuck to it. Or is MH ok now they're fairly high up in the charts?
