    I reckon we should all either stick to 40 or 60 posts per page. At least we'll all be singing off the same hymn sheet when talking about page numbers etc.

    Maybe the mods could deactivate all other options once we agree?

      Meh, Is there a real need to have the tone of BBV coloured so blue. Having a c or an f word every 2nd post makes it feel cheap. Decorum there boyz at least invert the letters a bit, makes them seem less offensive, and there are wimmins reading.

        I still think Punchestowns is good value at 7/2. Similar to Denman I expect shorter on the day

              Nice bit of expansion ye've got going on out there at the moment. Another 100 jobs isn't it?

              Yeah but they haven't really planned well so we are running out of room quickly. We might be taking over the old Creative Labs building or another Xerox one. I think the 100 jobs are for part time staff but it could all be for my department.

                Same username as well I guess. I hope it wasn't too expensive. Do you think it was related to the boards attack or do you know what happened?

                                        seeing as the BBV was always the place for random queries

                                        anyone know of any decent resources for learning languages online? specifically French (would like to spend one holiday without feeling like a useless idiot every time I have to make a simple transaction)

                                            Just gave Rush Poker a try there. I'll definitely be playing more of it, assuming my 5bi roll can ride through the storm (although might be worth mentioning that I sat in initially with the case $4.32 in the FTP account). Really hard to quit though when the action is so frantic and you can't just click the "sit out next blind" button.

                                            Would be interesting to know if it was the guy who claimed to have an idea to revolutionise online poker and came onto Boards about it is behind it.

                                                Hi all,

                                                I think the scheme should be different to boards.
                                                hopefully this place will keep going as it seems the poker forum has moved in a different direction to boards.

                                                  disturbing (for us) sign of the times moment last week; in a bookshop in town, last time I looked in their poker section they had about 2 rows worth of books. Thought I would take a glance and see if any new titles were in....there was 10 books in total.

                                                  poker is soooo 2006, what are all the cool cats doing now?

                                                          I'm sure I still do, but god anything I posted back then was even worse.

You read a book and the writer touches something in you that you would not have brought out of yourself. He makes you discover something interesting in your life. If you are living like an animal, what is the point? What makes the day interesting is that we try to transform it into something that is close to art." - Arsene Wenger
