Worked the day shift so that I could go to a party in the Dunes over the road. Walked by it at around that time though and a bus load of fellas were arriving and didn't look in good shape. They were outsiders I'd say they're who you saw. They weren't there for long afaik.

Grandfather passed away tonight.

Learned about it on Facebook. lolpower of social media.

Has been expected for a while, the old gent was suffering from severe Alzheimers for years now and was withering away before our eyes but obviously will always come as a shock. Worried about my Dad and Nan, reckon it'll hit them very hard, they were mad about grandad.

Hate being away from home at times like this.

Before he announced his bid I reckon the line could have been in the 75 - 80% range.

Now? Maybe 50%.

They are just on a quick break in the Sunday Brawl and just gone to 4 handed with Mick currently sitting in 4th place and short stacked, took a bit of a hit in a big pot against the chip leader when his opponent had flopped top set with QQ and filled up on the turn, pretty sick hand.

Fingers crossed he can rally back now but currently has 27k locked up but I'm sure he would like to take down this tournie.

Just doubled up first hand after the break, couple hands later shoves A4 from the SB BB calls with A9, 4 ball in the window and holds back up to over 1.3 million now, 20k/40k/5k go on Mick.

If you factor in rake, it's could be break even. Hard to tell without knowing the average stakes.
It's $-6.98 per 100 hands.

[tylerdurden94]

Faster finger first, easily delete your post thou

Sick hand between the two randomers, AK vs A3 AKxxx running clubs for the A3 to get a huge double up.

[Midnitekowby]

http://au.news.yahoo.com/world/a/-/world/9215406/mum-facebook-son-drowned/"

Mum who played Facebook game while son drowned jailed
A woman in the US who was playing a game on Facebook while her 13-month-old baby drowned in a bathtub has been sentenced to 10 years in prison.

Shannon Johnson, 34, of Fort Lupton in Colorado, cried as District Judge Thomas Quammen told her he didn't think she was a bad person or that she killed her son on purpose, the Greeley Tribune reported. But, he added, that doesn't mean her action wasn't criminal.

"You left this little boy in a bathtub so you could entertain yourself on the computer by playing games," Quammen said. "And you left that 13-month-old human being, little Joseph, incredibly for those reasons."

Johnson pleaded guilty in March to negligently causing the death of her child. The charge carried a sentencing range of four to 12 years, but it also left open the possibility of alternative sentencing, which means she might have avoided spending time behind bars. Authorities rejected that option, saying they didn't want to play down the seriousness of her crime.

According to court documents, Johnson put her son in the tub for his bath a little after 8:30 a.m. on Sept. 20. She then left him unsupervised as she went to another room to share videos, check status updates and play Café World on Facebook.

When she returned to the bathroom, she found Joseph sideways and face-down in the water.

Johnson called 911 to say Joseph wasn't breathing. Paramedics were able to revive the toddler but he was pronounced dead at a Denver hospital.

According to the affidavit, Johnson told police the boy "wanted to be left alone" and was a very "independent baby."

She also told police she knew what it was like to be told "no," and she did not want her baby to be told "no."

The affidavit says she also did not want him to be known as a "mama's boy."

Johnson told police she gave the boy a bath every day — sometimes twice a day. She said that on the day Joseph died, the water level might have been higher than usual.

Johnson told police she had been leaving Joseph in the bathtub alone for weeks.

Johnson also told authorities that her son had a seizure at his grandmother's house a month earlier and had been given anti-seizure medication in case it happened again. Doctors didn't diagnose the cause of the seizure and there were no other occurrences, Johnson said.

The investigation into the boy's death was delayed while investigators waited for the final autopsy report. That report came back Jan. 3. It said the baby died of anoxic brain injury, cardiac arrest and drowning, according to the arrest affidavit. Johnson was arrested days later.

She was also sentenced to five years of mandatory parole following her incarceration.

Weld County Undersheriff Margie Martinez told KMGH-TV in Denver that Johnson's mother said she had warned her daughter of the danger of leaving the toddler unattended in water just days before he drowned.

"She told her she wouldn't do it anymore," Martinez said."

[Lord Sir Banter]

At what average stake level does that become break even?

Somewhere between 25c/50c and 50c/1, closer to the former as per:

Even more impresive when you consider the fact that Heard Island And Mcdonald Islands are an (supposedly) unihabited group of volcanos in the Antarctic. One of the remotest places on earth.

Just finished the first episode of Game Of Thrones. It was pretty close to perfect. All the main players were introduced well, there were tits everywhere, a healthy dose of blood and guts, and an ending that shook me even though I knew it was gonna happen. Can't wait for next Sunday.

I concur with that analysis, great first episode.

[Keane]

Reckon it would be a total fuck up to watch it before reading the books?

[MrsFlushdraw]

That was an unreal story Mellor posted. How the hell can anyone leave a baby that young in water???

I never leave the bathroom for a second when Aimee is in the bath. She is 15 months and well able to sit in it. We use a small baby bath inside our main bath as it is so big and she can't fall over or anything either.

I like my cafeworld too, but there is a time and a place. She is totally stupid and that poor baby paid the price. Did he not make a noise when he fell over, no splashing etc. I would saw she was so absorbed in her computer she didn't give a fk about the little thing.

[digiman]

re- Game of Thrones, is there other series of this that you need to watch first or can you just start straight into this one?

[dazzler]

Reckon it would be a total fuck up to watch it before reading the books?

Yeah a bit - the series looks near perfect, but watching it will rob you of those moments where you reread a paragraph two or three times, before calling work and pretending to be sick while you finish the story

[SatNav]

So depressed from drink and only drank Sat night, still not right from it and to top it off hubby is heading back today actually feel like crying.

Kids on 2 weeks hols , kids across the road drive mia mad, she will be in the door every ten mins giving out about Setanta (what a name) who is forced to play rugby at the age of 7 and tackles his dad outside on the front lawn every day. child is so rough with other kids!

If it's a good enough name for the O'Halpin's to give one fo their kids it's good enough for me.
Give the kids a rake and tell them to clean the garden or something.

In the words of REM..... Everybody hurts sometimes.
Take the kid for a walk in the woods. It will do the both of you some good. Get some tasks done when you get back. You will feel a lot better when they are out of the way.
Then woman up and remember that you are lucky to be alive and well, and summer is upon us.

BTW every kid has a Setanta in their life. You should focus on how to tool Mia up for dealing with it rather than worrying about the other kids behaviour.

[Raoul Duke III]

just saw Gimmeabreak's name up there in the thread and disturbing thoughts are springing to mind:

1. He leaves banking. Banks around the world collapse.

2. He leaves online poker. The Feds shut it down.

3. short all betting shares immediately imo

[Lord Sir Banter]

He left PP for....?

Perhaps he is a Martin O'Neill type figure, jumping ship after leaving them in dire shape but just before the walls cave in.
