     Yes  ...  The art of effective speaking ..... why write a hole paragraph when it can be said in a sentence.

     Hope you are well,  by the way.  Don't wish to invade your personal thread with my comments.  How is your P.S.A. under one I hope ?  Have you been offered Viagra yet.  I tried it but found it no help but was then offered "Lavitra" this is weekend type which suited me better.  Never going to be super stud, again, but had other benefits like better flow and feeling like it belonged to you again.  I have to ( while sitting ) do pull backs ... this helps with control. Took me couple years to feel things were better and get my confidence back.  gl keep posting on your thread nice to hear how your progressing. best wishes Don

    Thank you for your advice.........  do you suffer from this problem....  were you asked to intervene.  I had already deleted my controversial posts from his thread as being... to much "information" it was pointed out to me that I was taking over his Thread.  I did mention that most men leave going to get check out, to late and this results in bad news.  Prostate problems need to be talked about and men need to be made aware the need for early diagnoses.  The detail mentioned here is regard my own experiences with Prostate Cancer and information he may find useful or has not considered.  I think  I'm better placed than most to say, how it is and not just tell him "Get Well Soon"  If my post has offended anyone then I will remove it,  but "Ostrich" comes to mind.

    Thank you for your concern, my journey was different to " Tom " in that,  he had different treatment, but the overall Medical condition and options the same .... albeit ... that people react differently to treatment and recovery.  My posting on ( his ) thread was to reassure him that recovery takes time and it wont happen over night.  To stay positive and not get down in the dumps if things did'nt improve quickly.  Your body responds if your upbeat, cheerful and aids recovery quicker.   Some of his posts reflected negative vibes so I was trying to reassure him he will have better times ahead.  I only commented now because he came on this thread and asked a question.  I wish Tom the very best and I'm sure he will look back in years to come, and through his journey give advice to other's facing same condition.   gl Don

    Hi Don, I appreciate your comments and do take them on board. I see where you are coming from in the fact that sometimes I feel a bit down.i do get a bit embaressed when certain " nitty gritty" things are mentioned,as being a man those are the things that hurt the most and putting it out there puts me in an awkward situation in as much that folk who read my little blog will feel different towards me. I just want to be treated as a normal bloke who is going a bit of a tough time at present and it helps me enormously when I get posts asking how I am and wishing me well, I answer as honestly as I can-including the times when I feel a bit down, I usually snap out of it with help from all my family and messages of support from the folk on here, some pm me and I am really grateful for that.
    I wish you well, I guess in your own way you are trying to help and appreciate that.

     Hi Al ........ Mick was in the Bar when Paddy arrived late.  "Where you been asked Mick"!   I had to get some Shopping from the Supermarket, said Paddy. Mick orders him a pint.   "Paddy is all smiles" what you smiling about, said Mick."?    "Well, said Paddy"   "I've not lost yet,  even at my age, all the Girls in the Supermarket were smiling and winking at me." !  "Yes said Mick, not surprised, your shirt's sticking out of you're flies."

    A pint on the Bar for Geo (if he finds this place) ;)  & his team. Congrats on winning the APAT Team event. Pleasure to meet you Sir.

    I have just had a  great w/end in Luton. Drinking with the Scotsquad and Hitsquad players till stupid o'clock both nights was prob not a good idea looking at our results....... but it was still fun, as always.

    Cheers.

    ^^^^

    Wanna bet?

    I'm usually too busy dealing with Team Moan to mess around in bars. And today, for the first day in at least 10 years, I'm attempting to manage without latte.  

    ;)

    By chance, I actually wrote to Geo this morning about another matter. He's some special bloke.

    *stunned into silence*

    Yes, Geo seemed sound when I met him. It was my first APAT tourney and I loved it TBH. It was nice to meet Des (again) and the whole team who ran it all very well indeed.

    Any specific reason for the non latte day? Not sure what else I can offer you in here Tikay....embalming fluid perhaps? ;);)

    APAT is a wonderful organisation, & I'm extremely proud of the 5 years I spent with them, alongside Tighty & Des. Those who moan & groan about the state of poker, especially for recreational players, have no rights imo, until they have actually DONE SOMETHING for poker. So I readily ignore them. I only left APAT due to a clash of commercial matters, it was not appropriate for me to wear different hats.

    A Des trivia point - did you know he used to be Head of Poker here at Sky Poker? I spent a few happy years working under his leadership.
     
    Another Des trivia point - if you are involved in financial negotiations, ALWAYS sit on the same side of the table as Des. He's a right hard case with money, very tough man to negotiate with.
     
    No latte today? Just general health issues, which I'm trying to address. My physical condition has gone downhill badly in the last year, & I'm trying to do something about it.
     
    I've managed to lose 10lbs in the last 2 weeks, hard dieting, so if I can bin the daily latttes (I had THREE yesterday, ffs), that'll help.
     
    I've never walked ANYWHERE, either, I bet I don't walk 100 yards per day, & have not done so for 20 years. So I started a "daily walk" 17 days ago, & am walking between 2 & 3 miles every single day, irrespective of weather or workload. Early afternoon, every single day. Feeling better already. 

    It's also nice to go for a walk & clear my head from all the ill manners & chuntering on here. Truly, it's never been worse, the more players get, the more they demand, it's just crazy, uncontrolled greed is not a pleasant thing to observe. So my little daily walk is beneficial in lots of ways, helps me with perspective & balance. 

    I was able, on Sunday, to see something wonderfully uplifting, human nature at it's absolute best. Then I got home to find Terry Wogan had died, which was really sad. And THEN I logged onto the Sky Forum, to check everything was OK. Yikes. 

    Anyway, there you go, my annual visit to Al's Bar.
