AJ or any other Harry Bosch readers have you watched the Amazon series?
Making my way through S02 now and I'm surprised at how good it is at capturing the books. Some interesting changes in the background stories but I can see why they make them.

Yeah, read all or at least most of them and watched series 1. Thought it was a moody slow burn (which I like) and really well made and enjoyable.

What are the odds of the same number coming out as the bonus ball 3 draws in a row in main lotto draw? 49 numbers in draw.

Which number?

...4 weeks into a new job in Fidelity and still no sign of actual work to be doing...Have training courses each night with an American, but today's was cancelled...So 12:30-21:00 with absolutely zero to do, and no-one around to see me doing nothing...
...TLDR, watching the last 5 Daniel Negraneas poker vlogs and wondering should I try play once a week again 😂...

Which number?

Looks like the Government and advisors got the AIB share price spot on to both provide a bit of value and avoid the 'giveaway!' screams from the detractors - floated at 4.40, current price 4.71 in conditional trading. Got the full 10k allocation as well, which I was surprised about but I guess many small time investors were worried about another Eircom or something. Need to decide if I'll sell the lot today or hold on to some for the future; I'm probably too cautious to hold such a chunk in a single company when ETFs are available.

Ha, I'm such a wuss - sold exactly 1/2 my shares a few hours ago at 4.70, thinking I'd lock in some profit and roll the dice to see what happens next week. Just sold the rest at 4.675 as I feel happier locking in a small profit than going for the bigger gain!

One day profit of just over 600; no fee charged to buy the shares, cost me about 55 to sell the lot.

Actually thinking about purchasing some bitcoins and/or ETH as a hedge against the whole crypto-currency stuff; I just don't fully understand it but don't want to be fucked if it continues to grow exponentially in the future and old fogies who aren't in get left behind.

[Lazare]

You have new socks every day? Keep living the dream my friend, you've cracked life.

lol, I thought you meant you wore the same pair for more than a day. I meant new as in washed.

New pair every day would be the dream alright.

I am in a similar position. Company HQ in the States and I work odd hours which suit family commitments well. Since they are so busy I have not had more to do and have watched a few things on netflix. Kind of feel guilty but I have all my work done and stay online in case the need me!

Spent the last week on cryptos, done so much research on them. Watching charts and have a BOT keeping an eye on the movers and the shakers. It is all very fascinating and I def will be investing once I learn more.

Plan to use a buy and hold strategy and hopefully invest the same amount each month and see how it goes.

lol, i had this open in a tab on my laptop since Monday morning and forgot to post it!

Just witnessed the greatest dealmaker in the history of poker (and obviously the worst dealmaking too!)

Final table of the Sunday Million and already our hero (Mtss7) is asking for a deal before a hand is dealt. As every player busts, he's asking about a deal because he's been hanging on and blinding his way up the ladder. These are his biggest cashes to date, and he only satellited into the $22 and $33 games earlier that day.



Anyway, it's down to 4 handed and the guys finally look at a deal. The other guys aren't beasts by any means.

Ivan shipped a $100fo $25k for 6k and has another $6k score.
Buba has some similar scores at smaller stake games
Toooz probably the better of the 4 with a 5 figure cash and a couple of other scores over 6.

These were the chip stacks (he is shortest stack)



The original prizepool is this.



The original deal discussion was in chip chop, and he somehow brokers the deal for ICM and gets himself and extra 3k from all of the other players on top of that! They all agreed without even questioning it. The chippie just gave away 42k in equity without blinking, and he ended up with 7k more than the guy who had more chips than him.




Guy is a genius and the other 3 are idiots!

I assume you're working from home because if you're in the office I wouldn't recommend this as your internet activity is most likely tracked.

[Tar.Aldarion]

Depends on the place, I've been using my internet for whatever for years, Fidelity I imagine are more anal though...

[davepoke/her]

Get a taxi license and hire a fake passenger so I can use the bus lanes.

It's a good idea but I've seen it plenty of times before

Most places don't actually care if the site isn't blocked in the first place.

...Working in an office...never really thought that, just figured once website isn't blocked it should be ok...I guess I'll have to be a little more careful, but the place seems a little relaxed...Yeah tar seen that , fair play to him he does do his bit for advertising poker as much as possible...Would be tempted to apply myself for the main event stake lol...

[digiman]

Sounds like 500 for cash to me and I won't report you to the taxman.

Is it locked to any network? How long will it be before it is back with you and ready to be sold?

It's unlocked, should have it back in 2 weeks but will be advertising for E600 and expect to get that or very close. I'll let you know when it's back sure

Reports from family would say yes. Mom and Dad have gone regularly the last few years. Sisters have gone together and brother and his burd are going this year. All for the reasons you describe above. Every time I look at booking a holiday they all rave about Malta

Weather, sand, sea and chilling out the biggest wants.

Weather will be about 25-20 in Sept/Oct so very comfortable and nice in the evenings. Probably be light til about 8pm and gets dark pretty quickly but the nights don't get cold.

Sand? There's not a lot of sandy beaches here, especially in the popular spots like Sliema/St Julians/Swieqi area where myself, MrsF, Bohsman, Valor, Iago, Lappin, Daragh999 and others live. Nobody lives outside of these areas because it's where the work is, pubs, clubs, cinema, bowling, casinos etc are.

An older couple might like the north of the island, or Gozo which is a very quiet island off the coast of Malta. These are all nice for a couple of day trips though but not to spend a long period of time.

Sea. Well there's plenty of that. Most of the inlets and beaches are just rocks or tiny stones as opposed to sand. There's some sandy beaches dotted around the coast of the island, but again, there's not a lot other than beaches and couple of places to eat in those areas.

This is the live feed from our local beach which is a 10 min walk from the house. We'll be down there tomorrow for 4-5 hours so we'll give a wave about 2pm! It will be packed tomorrow. It's not sand, but little balls but it's a great sea spot.

https://www.skylinewebcams.com/en/webcam/malta/malta/st-julians/st-george-beach.html

Chilling out. Well, it's not a quiet island. Plenty of building work going on, and the roads are getting busier so there's a constant drone of people beeping car horns, building work etc going on.

Think there's defo better options out there if you want a sun, sea, sand and relaxing holiday. But if you want somewhere to go have nice food, cheap drink, English speaking, great weather, good spots beside the sea and maybe throw in a spin to the casino, or a wander down the party capital that is Paceville, then go for it

Nah it's 49^3, of course the lotto has no memory so it's One in 49 now.

What weird small thing would people do if rich? I'd put on new socks every day.

I would buy a lotto ticket on the anniversary of the day I won every year for the rest of my life.

[Guest]

Telling kids they're smart is detrimental. School is easy, so they presume life is easy, and they're swiftly passed out by the people who put in graft.

I was told I was dumb. Still passed out in life though despite graft .....maybe i just is dumb.

I would pay someone to break into your house and fuck up your sock system. Re packaging worn ones and the like.

I would instantly turn into a detestable cunt if I was suddenly 'rich rich'. No point in pretending otherwise. Reckon it would take me about 3 weeks to start to believe I deserved my wealth and about the same again to start viewing my former middle class brethren as total fucking plebs. No matter how much it was I would blow it all.

One day sure.

I know someone who did that. Just that. Not the lotto though. The father of a guy I went to college with. Made millions in his twenties. Blew it all became an arse. Lost it. Married had kids got a normal job. Hated it. He doesn't regret becoming an arse but does regret blowing it all.

Everything they do looks like they are just better at playing the game, right now it looks a bit like Kilkenny playing an Ulster hurling team.

Great to finally have a big game at a good time for me. Happy supping pints in pub for the game. The locals seem to be supporting NZ for some odd reason.
