    In Response to Re: Ramblings of an old man : Did deletes :) Def Sams fault :) Ok, you're right. No one wants the moaning. Went into full on rant mode. Having a break and going back later. Played well so no reason not to carry on.  Golf - Go away to Portugal a week on Sunday. Can't wait and fortunately I've already got my euros :) Football - Things might just be starting to come together. 13 out of 15 points since lowly Leeds got lucky. Harry - The last couple of weeks he seems to have come on a bunch. Learning new stuff every day. He's the best thing in my world. Teeth - Hardly dare say but they've been OK for a while. Happy Jac is back. No more ranting I promise :)

    Cool. Treasure thes times with harry. They grow up far too quickly.

    Now this is back on track.

    GL in the "diary derby"

    For balance though will be wishing JJ the same. Whoever wins will have come thru 2 tough ties.

    Moaned in a win. Played 12 dyms on my return and won 10 for a £168 profit. Now really is the time to plow on but being the fish i am i've packed up for the day.

    After working hard to get it back, my fragile self would struggle with giving it all back again today. Just dared to look at scope for the month and to my surprise i'm only £108 down for all games. Considering that i think this is the worst i've ever run this is good news.

    5640 points for the month now

    Might become a little more rational again now. The drugs are wearing off.

    Think it's going to be a quieter day anyway today. Probably not going to play until this evening. Mrs J is off work and we have been meaning to whack a load of baby stuff on eBay for ages. Today's the day. Got some golf clubs to chuck in there as well. Got a buyer for my old trolley and so once this lot is sold then I should be able to afford some beans on toast.

    Hoping to play my heads up game with Dohhhh tonight but I'm not sure if he's seen my message.

    Watched a friend of mine Cpfc last night. Think he only played 3 mtts. 4th in the main and 4th in a bounty hunter. He's very good.

    Apologies for rants yesterday. It erm... Will never happen again

    You know what?

    Bad cawls post made me look back at the first few pages of this thread. It was actually half decent then. Tikays posts were brilliant and as I was playing live a lot, I had the odd okayish story to tell myself.

    In truth it's crapp now.

    My posts are just a mixture of dull result posting and grumbles.

    Maybe time for a rest for a while or a complete change of direction

    I really struggle to see how you got your 'grumpy old man' moniker.

    Change of direction? Like the one your Sharkscope is taking? ;)

    Just had a read of Page One, oh my, some tales there, including a post by the much missed Flying Dagg.

    I wrote about Kim Constaniou on Page One (Maria Demetriou's Uncle), sadly he has since passed away, too.

    Hopefully they can replicate their preformances tonight for your lot throughout the season.

    This is NOT a moan post honest!

    I got saved tonight right at the end. Never been so happy to have a £170 losing night.
    I couldn't win a hand let alone a game at Dyms. Not gonna scope because it might make me throw up. Think I'm around £500 down at Dyms tonight.

    Right at the end I went on the 1.50/3.00 spin up table and doubled up first hand. From there I got up to £279. I won a bit earlier on the 2/4 as well which helped.

    I was really relaxed tonight in truth. Sometimes there's just nothing you can do. I felt fine about how I played. No doubt I was making mistakes but not £500 worth of them :)

    This promo is putting me in a spot. Common sense would normally suggest that I have a break. However thanks to a bit of success at the spin ups this month I'm only £133 down in total.

    If and its a big if right now I can breakeven for the rest of the promo or even lose a bit more, then it would still be a profitable couple of weeks. I'd end up with around £450 in rakeback. If I stayed where I am on the leaderboard then I'd get £225 from that. There's also a rtr race where I will get at least $300.

    The moment the promo ends I'm having a little break from playing. Got my holiday straight after and I'm just going to enjoy that and then do some normal stuff.

    Heads pretty scrambled. God knows how dtm and Timmy etc do this all year long :)

    Off to buy a latte

    I enjoyed reading these pages....

    PNL memories...Mark Bannen (he who preached the power of 7-8 off suit)

    although I totally disagree that Derbyshire had no great cricketers....Fred Swarbrook was a legend down at Kennington Oval !

    Congrats on your achievements and good luck at the tables !!

    PS please recommend another thread/diary/book to read

    Cheers - badcawl

    patwalshh: I can't wait to see your face
    19:16patwalshh: Just stare deep into your eyes
    Jac35: sigh pat
    19:17patwalshh: oh I'm getting giddy thinking about it
