All knowing BBV..How should I proceed?
See here:
Hi, Im the new poker manager at The Galway Bay Casino in the Ramada hotel, Oranmore. We start our new tournament schedule on Wednesday 15th September (this Wed).
and http://www.galwaybaycasino.com
Met new manager last Friday who only started last week. UK guy. Said he moved down from Dublin for the job. Had big plans for the place and sounded optimistic. Used to work in Silks I think.Happiness is not a goal; it is a by-product. ~Eleanor Roosevelt

brag: after visit to the doctor and what basically looked like a Papal funeral candle removed from my right ear, I now have 100% hearing again.
beat: repeating the procedure on my left ear made it worse. Have to get ear drops.
Variance: didn't know wether to ask for a discount on account of my left ear being worse than when I went in.Is that how you crash a wedding? yes it is, Bionic Barry, yes it is.

It really is crazy how fragile the human head can be. Had a friend who fell over, just over a year ago, hit his head off a bollard and ended up in a very very bad way.
Thankfully after a lot of rehab (learning to speak again etc) he has pretty much recovered.

Not too bad though because;
1. It hasnt cost me that much $$$ wise
2. I now get to watch a weekend of sports without being nagged
3. Im still the nice guy and she feels like she owes me one
4. she said she has something planned to make it up to me
All in all it a pretty sweet result
never again.
EDIT: just read your story there Kev, hope things work out.Last edited by Zuroph; 13-09-10, 14:48.http://mobro.co/zuroph

Plus, stoke, or wherever the fcuk I was is the scariest town i've ever seen on a saturday night. on one block alone i counted 16 police, and a triage ambulance with a queue formed. some guy asked for a light, and in exchange offered me pills from his bloody hand.

Sorry to hear it Kev.
Luckily the peak of his helmet stopped his face smashing off the rock. At the time we just laughed it off and moved on. But looking back now considering what has been said it was one hell of a piece off good luck. Breathtaking actually.

Sorry to hear that Kev. Really hope all this talk of young people dying stops soon, life is so cruel at times.
Great stuff from Connie. Really look forward to reading the updates.
@ Rufio - You disgusting mofo
Still halfpissed, played all night in Tags with all the dealers etc some craic. 10c 25c cash with straddles and antes etc great craic. Gutted for Tag after such a great start KK v AK v AK, the AJ four handed was a cooler really he was getting just under 2/1 v a hyper aggro player. Toms exit was sick, but he took it really well and was in flying form, challenging people to matches on the HU machine lol just lumping wads on the table .

Its very teadious and hard on the back. A year and half out of work will feel great to be back in emplyment after not being able to work for so long!!

Thanks all for the wishes and thoughts. Unfortunately Brian passed at about midday today. We heard yesterday that the docs thought it was more than just fall, which is what it turns out. He'd had an aneurysm which began to bleed Saturday night, he was babbling nonsense for a while but that was put down to just drunk crap, he'd passed out on the top of the stairs at home obviously got up at some stage and fell.
Cant believe it went from out in the pub having a laugh to less than 48 hours later this situation.

Condolences Kev."I believe the target of anything in life should be to do it so well that it becomes art. 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
