    Best job in the world (2)
      Ok so we're now married and thinking about a family the nhs has decided to privitise the laundry this whole process left a bad taste in my mouth they cut our bonus in the name of keeping our jobs the unions were terrible to this day I still have a deep mistrust of them and the workforce were turning on each other time for a change 
       I approached the manager and told him I was looking for another job and he was very supportive and told if I needed time off it was not a problem.At the time my brother in law was working on the oil rigs as a painter and he told me to do the survival training and try for a job.The training took five days and I done it with the brother in laws brother.My intentions were good do the course through the day get something to eat at night phone home and bed.After my first day I phoned home and Elaine told me she was pregnant cue celebrations and a massive hangover and we had fire training the next day it was mental in smoke filled rooms trying to find breathing apparatus great fun.That night Scotland were playing football cue more drink swimming the next day no problem.The swimming involved jumping of high platforms in emergency senarios then going in to a helicopter simulater and being turned upside down and having to escape great fun and I was comfortable in the water.the course was one of the best things I have done so far and it was done with a hangover every day.
      After the course was done I started a little black book with company names and numbers and every week I applied and phoned different ones.This went on for about a year but I was in a catch 22 situation the company's wanted experienced men and I couldn't get experience without a start.Then out of the blue a catering company sent me a letter to come for an interview result.My dad ran me through to Aberdeen and waited outside.I was always a confident person and had a gift of the gab.The girl that interviewed me was rather large and by the end of it I had her giggling like a schoolgirl got into the car going home and my dad asked how I got on I told him I had it in the bag just at that my phone went it was the girl offering me a start happy days 
      I went up the following Monday for an induction there was about 15 of us there and I was the only one sent to a platform the rest went to accommodation barges I went to the claymore alpha where I spent 8 years the the piper bravo for another four.most of my time offshore was spent in the galley I loved it washing pots and pans preparing all the veg for the chefs and helping them out it was great 12 hours on 12 off two weeks on two off this is where the problems started too much time on my hands and too much money I also had a love of a good smoke it lasted 12 glosious years and then the company I worked for lost the contract I had the chance to change hats or stay with the company I chose to change hats.I had a weeks holiday and the girl that interviewed me asked me to come into the office before I went offshore.She thanked me for my service and asked me if I would consider staying with them but my mind was made up.Just as I was getting ready to leave she said the company were taking the chance to do some random drug tests oops party over phoned the wife and told her was on my way home coming next railway madness

    Hi Cheezy,

    This is a great read, but I don't know why it is on the Brags, Beats & Variance Board - let's move it to the ail where it will get more exposure.

    Thanks TK I thought it was better out the way because I tend to ramble on now and then and it would keep bumping good threads down when I was posting daily results but hay ho we will see how it goes gl

    Not a bad day but a minging night I bounced out of the fosp in a spell of five minutes of really bad play the first was probably the worst play I've made in ages the second was tilting from the first and the last ran into markycash who I wouldn't believe if he told me it was dark outside at midnight (he is very very good )

    Lol Cheez

    Enjoy the Ibrox tour and drinks mate!
  • edited January 2017
    The tour of ibrox tour was out of this world great day and a nice break in routine not so good was hangover yesterday logged into account in a cold sweat in case I had blown br and it was a relief to see I had only played the free roll happy days so yesterday play was light played three dyms last night won 2 lost one then tried the new plo8 bounty hunter it was fun but I overplayed two pairs strange the difference a bounty hunter makes I had already got away with one really bad play and you can't keep doing that against the plo8 boys more dicipline required 
      My eldest daughter opens her own dance school today so i will go and show her support I know she will be a success and the local press have given her good coverage and she is a very driven girl who has worked extremely hard so she deserves all the good things that will happen for her from Disney to the biggest cruise liner in the world now her own business I am the proudest dad ever

    Still frustrated with my play both on the plo8 bounty hunters and nlh (calling an all in with straight on a board with 4 diamonds )the plo8 bountys are different the £11 one is OK for a once a week treat not every night for my br  and the £5.50 one plays quite different to normal tournys so a bit of tinkering under the bonnet is required it's easy saying you need dicipline then the little fuse in your head pings gg

    Ps my daughters first day went amazingly well with over 40 girls signing up for classes and if anyone has Facebook they can see her page it's called DDI dream dance and inspire 
  • edited January 2017
    Yes I agree the BH's do require a slightly different approach.

    Glad your daughters class went well! I will look up the page on FB and share it. If you want to add me and let me know if I have the correct page my email for adding is markycrash@hotmail.co.uk. No problem if anyone else wants to add me it is fine too I think about half the people on my FB are poker players lol.

    Edit: Think I have got another couple of people to go and share the page too. Both relatively local.

    Yeah I seen that hand cheez, unlucky.

    I am also on a bad run in these. Started out yesterday very focussed but couldn't catch a break and then I start to play bad and run bad, never a good mix. I am sure it will turn for us soon :)

  • edited February 2017
    Well broke my plo8 bounty duck :-) took two so still made a loss :-(  try fosp tonight and give the bhs a rest made a small profit on the spin ups but still made a small loss on the day the good lady and myself are going to try and give up smoking one packet left then we will try (I can feel myself tilting already ) ^

    If your serious about giving up smoking cheez I would seriously consider e-cigs. I smoked for 25 years and my wife for 15 and we both gave up overnight and haven't had a ciggie in over 3 years.
    good luck.

    Best job in the world 3 (railway madness )
      Ok so we have done the laundry and offshore now it's the railway.Out of the three jobs this one was the most dangerous which I found out to my cost
       It's three months since I finished on the rigs and the brew was doing my head in I have only had to sign on twice in my life and both times it was nasty some of the people that work in these places are horrible job center plus , dwp, atos health ,insurance company's ,lawyers (not mine) and medical receptionists are all on my naughty list and karma will sort them out in the end but that's enough negatives onwards and upwards 
      My dad's mate heard I was looking for work and got me a form for an employment agency called Scotweld and as luck would have it the manager was a guy I knew that lived round the corner called Hud.Before anyone works on the railway infrastructure they have to do a course called a pts and hud said do the course pass medical and he would start me no probs. The way agencies work are simple zero hour contracts they text you if a job comes in, you say yes fine next job your text first say yes fine say no and your bottom of the pile. Not an ideal situation but one that suited me because I was used to 12 hour shifts for two weeks at a time and all I wanted to do was work.the railway is a strange industry the more tickets you get the less work you do and the more you get paid. I loved courses learning new things and all the crack the boys I worked with were great only in the railway could you get such a mix of people working together from former school teachers to dodgy characters all with one thing in common the rail.

    Ok small apology first cut short yesterday's story forgot about opticians appointment and it dawned on me when I got back that this bit of the story is still running so it might be better to wait until after the end game to finish it (you never know who's listening ) so I will just stick to poker updates which I will post on a Sunday any interesting hands will still be posted in there sections.opticians cost £173 for me and wife but on the plus side the girl in marks and Spencer that does the yellow whoopsie labels was putting the stuff out just as we walked in and got two full bags of food for £13 happy days

    Time for a little update it's been quite a quiet week with puppy training taking priority it's harder than I remember but that may be down to breeds our first dog was a border collie and I think the training was easy our new pup is a springer spaniel and daft the idea behind getting him was for me to get more exercise job done I am knackered but in a good way.
      Got another 24hr ecg today so that's a bit of a pain but necessary and then I have a bunch of medicals and assessments coming up over the next month but most of them are for my lawyer so just need to bite the bullet and get them out the way. The new prosthetic leg is settling in ok and I am going to put the wheelchair away(the puppy thinks it's a platform for him to get up on the units lol )
      Now the poker as I said it's been a quiet week with a mixture of results dyms and freerolls being good with over £40 from freerolls alone spin ups are about even and mtts in particular plo8 bhs are shocking I think I am trying to hard and not playing my natural game. Last night was good I got a seat in the sharpshooter from the fr and after a slow start and one of the other players thinking my blinds were his private atm I managed to get three bountys for a £33 profit be much the same over the next week just play what I feel like at the time and have fun

    Good luck with the dog training. You may be correct about the breeds and toilet training. My collies learned to go outside so fast I can hardly even remember the 'training' perios. Well either that or my mental faculties are failing and they took a while but I just do not remember. I suppose each scenario is perfectly plausibile :)

    Good job on the bounties and gaining a little profit. 

    Best of luck and have fun Cheeze!
