Denny, have you given consideration to the fact that this lady may in fact be a machine elf? The portal is open.

A girl I work with. Totally sound, sane and beautiful, she is also an accomplished athlete. I just wondering if I should stay the fk away from her. Every time I speak to her she listens to every word, smiles broadly and seems to be very kind.
I’m guessing I’ve stumbled upon a freak of nature and think I should steer well clear of her as wimmin like her are the most dangerous of all. Give me a Denny freak show psycho any day,.

Denny you make human interaction sound like a competition.
.. run rings around...
... take her on...
.. have a go at you....
...go up against...
Maybe if you didn't need to "win" or "dominate" while interacting with this lady, things might take on a different perspective. She could well be picking up on this and playing up to it.

It is very odd because despite the presence of people like Buffet they seem to have shrunk their international penetration over the last decades at a time that the duopoly who are cleaning up across most of the world is ripe for the taking and there is no one in the west better placed to expand the networks and make the required investment than them.Turning millions into thousands

Nice! Didn't even know there was a competition, looking forward to the gig now.
Although not been lsitening to them, mostly just Tool for a gig in July, must look up some setlists.
Knew I shouldn't have bought tickets before now, see gold tickets for like 80 and that will lower even more. Then again everybody I'm with is in regular so I'd prefer to be there.
I see there is no Zone A actually being set up, so regular standing got ripped off by a tenner.

Formula for the setlist is basically
SPOILER
18 songs
3-5 Hardwired (hardwired, moth, atlas, now that we're dead, here comes)
6-7 Classics (one, puppets, bells, death, seek, last two songs of encore are sandman and nothing else matters)
1 of st anger/frantic
Whiskey
X amount of deeper cuts, e.g. memory remains, god that failed, a lot of tour debuts.
1 encore from lord of summer, blackened, fight fire

Pretty bizarre mind you but I applaud them both for trying I suppose.

I have all my bills going through Amex, my paypal linked to it and my Google pay. Use it pretty regularly to build up the points.
Up until last year was able to pay my tax bill with it which was v satisfying to game some points out of. I have had plenty of use out of the airport lounge access, well over and above the fee. It wouldn't be attractive to me at all as a normal day to day card if i hadnt been able to offset the fee must admit tho.Low fee Euro/UK money transfer, 1st transfer free through my referral

My annual fee is $450. I get $450 fight credit per year. It's never really cost me anything. After that the points, cash back, etc are all benefits.
The lack of acceptance I do get though. On both sides.

The main thing we need to realise is that in reality it is the consumer who pay card fees not the merchant. But if you are a merchant setting your prices and 95% of your business costs 1.5% to collect and the rest costs 3.5% then the 2% difference is pure cost.
Its a different story in markets where they have significant penetration, and with merchants who pick up a lot of business expense trade like hotels and airport retailers.Last edited by Strewelpeter; 06-06-19, 22:26.Turning millions into thousands

WTF has gone wrong in the Fitz? Played the tournament tonight and it was one of the most disorganised games i've ever played. Some of the dealers were terrible too. One dealer took too much from a players stack to call an all-in, and another dealer counted stacks all-in wrong 3 times. Where's HJ when you need him!

Originally posted by dobby View PostThat's not a new thing in the Fitz, it was happening 10 years ago and was the reason I stopped playing there. The worst dealers I've ever seen. HJ is gone from there, he mentioned it a few weeks ago.
I arrived 10 mins late and paid and went upstairs. There was some oulwan that still hadn't been seated yet, so stood there for 2/3 mins. Then we were told to just take seats 1 and 2 at a table. She asked if she can have seat 1, so I jumped into seat 2. It took another few mins for our chips to arrive. Was meant to be a 10k stack, we were both given 9k.
An hour in, they asked for the next BB to be moved. The dealer sent the next 2 big blinds. We bust a couple of players and we're down to 6 players. I asked for another player was told there was only 7 mins left til the break and we should get another player then...
Lots of people had their chips and cards over the lines, are string betting and checking, but not checking. Folding out of turn, but no dealer said anything.
The first all-in was a guy for 31600. The dealer took 36600. He laid both stacks in a neat line so was easy to see. I pointed it out and it took a few mins of 'are you sure' and counting the chips. I felt like I did something wrong.
Another dealer, in the space of 15 mins counted all-in stacks wrong 3 times, and mis-dealt. I only called him on the first 2 because I was starting to feel like a prick. It's not fkin ticket science. As for knowing when to take full ante v half ante...
The fact I stone bubbled in 10th to a donkey AQ<A6 for heaps didn't help, but poor Fergus took the bad beat of the night. Guy opens to 17k at blinds 1500/3000. Fergus tanks and shoves 73k. He is almost beaten into the pot and your man proudly turns over the 106s and flops 2 pairs.
Maybe the standard of play has rubbed off on the staff, and there's still a ton of value in the games,. but they really need to get their act together.
