Garlic Football. Its the Future!

Time to update this old blog thingy. Poker first I guess…

Despite my best intentions, I have not played a great deal recently. I have got a beautifully redecorated and retiled bathroom though (brag). It needed doing more than grinding an extra few hands to reach a target. It’s going to be a winning month, albeit small. I did endure a couple of awful sessions a few days back. You know the kind – every time you barrel with air you’re raised/floated/whatever, every time you barrel with a hand they fold. Throw in a set-over-set and suddenly you just have to quit despite position on a couple of whales. In better news though, it looks like ipoker’s numbers are rising again slightly as autumn comes around which hopefully means more recreational players. I’ve played waaaaay too much 100nl recently looking for the fishies and far too little 200nl. Mind you, I have played a fair few daytime sessions (days off work) when it’s pretty much reg-central.

In other news:
Pool – we continued our great run with a win on Sunday. It wasn’t vintage but was messy as anything due to being one of the players birthdays. We’re top of the league at drinking at least!

Snooker – is a shit game. We lost on Monday with a roped in new player and some poor play all round. A few quibbles from the opposition about the noise levels are making me think I should stick to the small table game. 3 hours of silence? Not for me on a night out thanks.

Other stuff 1 – Got dragged to the cinema t’other day. Saw ‘The Other Guys’ which was surprisingly quite funny. I don’t do films, but the wife has some kind of season ticket to the awesome local cinema and takes in a movie or two a week at off-peak times when you can have the whole place to yourself at times. Following that movie, I, errrrrr, “obtained” a copy of another one she highly recommended – “Dinner for Schmucks”. It was average and predictable and reminded me why I don’t waste my time with movies.

Other stuff 2 – Have you seen the price of replica football shirts for diddy children? Yeah, I know they charge adults a bomb but I foolishly thought kids shirts may be a little cheaper. The youngest (6) wants a shirt for his after school football club – All the other kids have United/Arsenal/Chelsea replicas and he feels left out with his Gaelic football top. I recommended he tried to use some of the GAA skills on the Arsenal fans :)

Other stuff 3 – briefly saw my grand-daughter yesterday which was awesome. She now does a whole host of words and general cuteness.

Time to depart – that difficult first mirrion won’t be made whilst I sit here typing rubbish.
