And please please please. It is "hole cards", not "whole cards".
I suppose you could mean "the whole hole cards"......
Tsk, tsk, you kids......
I think it's a rather good screen-name actually!
But as Kiwi replied, have a word with Customer Care.
I'm not an advocate of poker literature as a learning aid, personally. Why not try an Online medium, such as the Sky Poker Community Poker Clinic?
It's HERE
Good luck chap.
Most sources state the garishly blue Mallard to hold that rather irrelevant distinction, & she is currently in the NRM @ York. Steam Locomotives should never be bright blue, it's just so wrong. Dark green, black, maybe maroon, but NEVER bright blue, it's so tacky.
Others state Flying Scotsman, even more confusingly, as that name is given both to a steam Locomotive, AND a train. Very different things, of course, though James Cardigan probably thinks they are the same thing. It's the sort of mistake many uneducated people make.
Oddly, both Mallard, & (locomotive) Flying Scotsman (which was green, though a shade too light a hue for my liking) were designed by the same gentleman, & he was a most impressive guy - Sir Herbert Nigel Gresley, though he dropperd "Herbert" in general use & was known as Nigel. He was the CME (Chief Mechanical Engineer) of the LNER, which may or may not be of interest to readers of this thread.
What will be of interest to them, however - hence I have taken some care with this reply - is a most remarkable fact.
It was none other than Sir Nigel Gresley who invented conjugated valve gear for steam locomotives.
You will all be familiar with Sir Nigel, & with conjugated valve gear, but I doubt many of you realise it was he that pioneered it. Who'd have thought?
Our day has not been wasted, then - we've learned something quite fascinating, which not many others know.
Do I detect doubt about whether Mallard actually broke the record ? I read somewhere that a German loco held the record and Mallards attempt in 1938 was a little controversial.
There was some doubt as to the accuracy of the speed measuring equipment, and the run was on a downhill gradient as well. Before the end of the planned journey she suffered major mechanical breakdown.
But in those times it was important to score any propaganda victory against the Nazis, so the record was claimed anyway. It was intended that Mallard would have another attempt but it never happened due to the outbreak of WW2.
"What's a proper job, Dad?"
"One where you wear a tie", he'd say, the obvious inference being that train drivers never wore ties in those days. It was the most crushing day of my youth. And now, of course, train drivers wear ties......
Ah well, it all worked out OK in the end, but all I ever wanted to do was be a railwayman. Still do, too.
You at Luton tonight? I am 60/40, I need some sleepage first, been an immensely heavy week, but I hope to be there. It now starts at 8pm, & "early reg" (by, say, 7.45) gives a bonus 1,500 chips, so 11,500 chips in total. Blandy MAY be there, too.
I'll try & answer that e-Mail today, too.
So are you implying that Thomas the Tank Engine is tacky?
I see a law suit looming.
Tikay is there going to be any mention of the survivor series ton the show tonight?
Cheers Crookz
Happy enough with my play today as I managed to win the bounty tourney earlier which funded my first attempt at the premo tourney. Will give it another try another day but hopefully won't be as nervous next time.
