See, if you had offered my suggestion, that might just have tipped the balance.

Anyone know how to get crayon off a wall, short of redecorating?

Ah the joys of parenthood! Get yourself a magic eraser (3.99 from Boots), ours was used a LOT when my kids were toddlers!

The eraser should get it off anyway. It's a must buy when you have young kids or a clumsy other half.

I don't called Waller 'Rik', but what I do call him rhymes with it.

I get called Rik because of the "pop legend" Rik Waller. As well as having the same surname, I can also sing like an angel and share his love of good food.

I class Rik as my brother from another mother.

Hang your head in shame mate. Rik Waller is arguably the finest musician of our generation!

Well that was a nice weekend

On Saturday, Derby went back to being mighty. I also single tabled my way to £10 in the freeROLL. Not bad for an hours work.

Sunday, Dinner at my Mums with my sisters family. We don't do it very often these days. Not because we're all terribly busy. In truth the reason is my Mum is an atrocious cook. Don't get me wrong, I believe her to be the best Mum in the world but cooking wise, I would estimate they she's in the bottom 5%. As ever she did loads of food, which makes it a lot more difficult. We somehow got through a respectable amount of the stodge she served up. It was proper hard work though.

After we left, Harry pleaded for a bit of fresh air to clear his head and I was left home alone. For a rare occasion I played some poker in the afternoon. Won a bit at dyms and then played a £20bh horribly and soon bust. I then threw my morals to one side and played the roller sat for cash. Sneaked through and so £98 up for a couple of hours work was decent.

I've had the horrible winter cold that everyone seems to have and have now reached the coughing stage. Yesterday I felt like I'd been punched in the chest repeatedly I was so sore. Decided on an early night after putting Harry to bed. At 6.30!. Thought I'd see if I could sleep through until work this morning. Obv no chance of that and I'd wake up at about Midnight with no chance of dropping back off. Actually, I didn't. For once I fell almost normal this morning. Sleep is definitely underrated.

Managed to get Friday off work this week and so raring to go for UKPC weekend. Thoughts at the minute are that I'll just drink lots, but you never know, I may end up playing some poker.

Bit nervous actually. I only have one real life friend and he's been ill all year. Never drink at home and so I've only had a drink twice all year. I'm sure I'll be fine on Friday night

Manchester United are a cruel club.

For one, they have inflicted some really dire football on us this year.

They are also incredibly cruel to their own players. Jesse Lingarde doesn't look to be the brightest in the first place and so I can just about forgive him. There is surely somebody at Old Trafford though who must be intelligent? And yet no one has told him that his goal celebration makes him look like a total titt.

It may not be a big issue, but to use poker terms, his celebration puts me on monster tilt.

Best celebrations?

Can't think of many regular ones right now.

As one offs I thought Giggs v Arsenal in the Fa Cup takes some beating.

Bit different but I also loved Suarez celebration in the World Cup when the penalty was missed after he'd been sent off. Never understood the amount of grief he got for that. Did the right thing and it worked out when they didn't score the pen.

...

No poker last night

Table tennis was tough. Came back strong at the end to still be giving my mate a 4 point handicap. I'll be furious if he gets better than me. He kills me at golf already and it's nice to be better than him at something.

Watched a sat elsewhere last night for UKPC. Very tempted to have a go.

Very likely to play the £550 8 max side event of I don't get in the main. It's way above my skill level but would be a great experience.
