I just found it funny with how you interpretated it.
Yeah, red card probably a little harsh, yellow will suffice.

Does anyone play on Betfair much? Was taking a weeks break from Pokerstars and had a few quid in my Betfair account. The sats seem pretty soft and managed to get a $108, $200 and a $215 Step 4 ticket. Not 100% whats the best way to use them so if any regulars know the best tournies, let's know
Lots of options for the $108. I'm not rolled for rebuys so have to rule those 2 out. Think it's got to be the $5k or $10k normal structure?
$10k gtd - 2500 stack - 12 min blinds
$15k gtd - 2500 stack - 3 min blinds - Shorthanded
$5k gtd - 2500 stack - 12 min blinds
$2.5k gtd - 3000 stack - 12 min blinds - Shorthanded Deepstack
$5k gtd - 1500 stack - 3 min blinds
$100k gtd - 2500 stack - 15 min blinds - 1 rebuy + add-on
The only $200 game is the $250k which is also a rebuy so not a huge fan. Do they run $200 games regularly enough? There's a couple of months til the expiry on the tickets
I won the Step 3 through a $14.70 coinflip tourney. Was testing my run good button
The target tournament is a $215 coinflip buyin with 2 x $5k Seville packages guaranteed. Is there any normal step 3 games knocking about, or once you qualify through a coinflip, do you need to play a coinflip?
Cheers

Is it worth sitting with the goggles on for 2 hours watching it in 3D, or will we just watch the normal Bluray version (it came with both discs)

I'd actually be interested in your thoughts on why we need a seperate profession of Solicitors and Barristers and not just have one all encompassing "Lawyer" profession.
You go to see your solicitor as a port of first call for pretty much everything. They can and do help you with an awful lot of the basic things that you'll encounter most often in your life such as wills, buying and selling property, drawing up some basic contracts and simple employment and landlord/tenant disputes. They'll occasionally even help you with much more complex things without needing to resort to specialists.
However, when you come to them with a particularly tricky item or even a simple item that needs a specialist such as getting a judgment for a debt owed (think tonsilitis in terms of relative simplicity, i.e the process isn't simple at all but on the grand scale of litigation it is near the bottom) then you go to a barrister. Barristers, increasingly, are highly specialised litigators and advocates who often, and especially as they progress at the Bar, will have an incredibly detailed knowledge of a particular area of law. For me this area is developing into company law, as well as personal and corporate insolvency.
Solicitors have access to all barristers. Any solicitor can call any barrister and have them act in a case. The barrister can only refuse if they are unable to take the case. Quite often a lot of the work barristers do goes unpaid, particularly in their first few years, primarily due to the case not succeeding or the proceedings simply fading away as settlement is agreed before the barrister really does much of anything anyway.
By having an independent and highly specialised group of legal professionals whose first duty is not to their client but rather to the Court it assists judges as the word of a barrister in Court is never questioned. Judges rely on barristers to inform them of the most recent law in an area and to guide them on matters knowing full well that the barrister will never mislead them.
Costs are actually kept down by having the profession separated. A country solicitor who does 90% probate and conveyancing knows that he can handle a personal injuries case because he can contact a barrister who is expert in the area and can guide him in that matter. He doesn't have to turn down work and the client doesn't have to go to a larger firm with a PI specialist to have his case heard. If firms had to have professional departments as in the United States legal costs would, arguably, reflect that jurisdiction. Anyone who thinks US legal costs are lower than Irish ones is kidding themselves.
Keeping one section of the profession general and the other specialist it keeps costs down as the highly specialised sector, which charges more admittedly but certainly not always, for their very highly specialised work is only used when necessary and the lower cost solicitor is the most regularly utilised legal professional.
Therefore having a separated profession keeps costs down, provides a better and more efficient service for the client and allows everyone equal access to the very best legal minds in the country.You are technically correct...the best kind of correct

If you have a 3D TV you wouldn't need the glasses, but myself and MrsF are going to be sitting here like a couple of tools but we'll give a go. Update in a couple of hours time

3d tvs use "real3D" a modern method of sending an alternating frame to each eye to achieve perspective. the glasses used determine which frame you see.
red/green or red/blue glasses have been around for years, they add a red and blue shadow to either side of a main subject, to allow each eye see the image in a mock 3d. this is what The flushdraws have, its been available for years , and has been used more commonly recently with 3d cartoons when they have been released to bluray. technology is not nearly as good as REAL3Dhttp://mobro.co/zuroph

RealD 3D/Disney Digital 3D which works on Projector screens that need a silver reflective type projector screen. Needs Glasses (not red/blue though).
Then this new stuff that I don't know much about, but is incorporated in the new Nintendo 3DS and I'd imagine some of the 3Dtvs where there is essential a screen behind a screen to add depth/the 3D. Doesn't need glasses.
EDIT: Read Zuutroy's post above, seems my 3D Tv ideas are way ahead of the time.

Hey Zuroph, was just talking to a friend earlier about hypnotists, and a trick I've seen done a couple of times where someone lies across two chairs supported just by their neck and ankles, and then supports another person sitting on them. Can you spill the cool beans on how it's done by any chance!

He's paying his most recent ex, Mueller, $55,000 a month in child support for their 2-year-old twin boys, Max and Bob. Mueller also received a parting gift of $757,689.70 and primary physical custody of the kids.
After the boys were removed from his home last week, Mueller reportedly sought sole custody. On Twitter, Sheen said: "not sure what all the legal noise is about ... just verbally reached a deal with B. no court mon. yay."
Sheen paid his second wife, Denise Richards, $40 million for less than three years of marriage, according to "Extra." That includes a $7-million divorce settlement; $20 million in syndication royalties from Sheen's sitcom; and nearly $10 million in child support for his daughters, Sam and Lola, until the girls turn 18.
World is a crazy place.
And why is he getting married? What a tit.
Edit: The only woman he didn't marry who he had a kid with was his highschool girlfriend 'Paula Profit'. So I guess he sidestepped that one.
In 1990, Sheen accidentally shot his then fiancee, Kelly Preston, in the arm. Preston broke off the engagement soon after.

Mess has 92 goals in his last 93 games and 45 for 40 for the season. Pretty sick stuff from the little man.
Still, he's no Berbatov.This may or may not be an original thought of my own.
All efforts were made to make this thought original but with the abundance of thoughts in the world the originality of this thought cannot be guaranteed.
