gonna buy some t-shirts online but I've confused myself, I normally buy large or maybe medium t-shirts, but just measured my chest at 36 or 37 inches, which is a small according to threadless.com anyway.
edit: just gambling on medium anywayLast edited by cardshark202; 18-10-10, 04:42.

Now that's money well spent."Worldly wisdom teaches that it is better for reputation to fail conventionally than to succeed unconventionally." - John Maynard Keynes

I believed Benitez time at the club had run its course, I still do. I also believed that Hodgson deserved a shot, that has proved to be wrong, but I can see him getting until xmas at any rate.
There are also those who stated that Lucas is actually a decent player and was just young. He is muck and I don't think he would get into any other premiership team. I realise he wasn't alone yesterday (Maxi should be dropped for a long time at this stage) but when you are playing in such a central role you need to be able to pass the ball 10 yards.

Can live players throw a bit of light on this for me as I thought it was a bit harsh.
At the IPO I just get moved to a new table (seat 8) and am sitting down and looking at TT at the same time so I ship for 10bb or whatever and get on with arranging my stuff, taking my coat off etc as its folded around. BB is a very chatty bloke and is deliberating with himself whether to call or not and eventually he doesn't so I push my cards over the line. Guy beside me grabs me and says hold on, SB (seat 2) has called but had his hands are covering the cards. Before the dealer touches them I grab my cards back and the guy flips out saying 'he mucked', and demanding to be shipped the pot without running the hand.
Is he right here? In any case I think its a bit mean spirited.

@Bubbleking - injury question.
I strained my right achilles about 6 weeks ago and basically iced it and rested it since. Got back doing a bit of running but hadn't played any ball. When running both achilles were very stiff to start but would loosen up after a while and then be fine.
I had to play a match on sat as the team were stuck (wanted to wait another week or 2) and now my left achilles is in tatters. Could literally not walk up the stairs yesterday. I have dictac cream for it and its a small bit better today.
Any advice on what I could do to speed up recovery?
Thanks .

if the dealer touched your cards they would be dead or if they hit the muck other loose cards
they didnt you retrieved them so are entitlled to play them
mean spirited is being very generous scum bag cheat gimp would be more appropriate Imo
i think he should have got a penalty for this bs

why should you have to show. It's the only hand still live, similar to an uncalled bet on the river.
If chip dumping was suspected you might be asked to show.

Were you one of the last onto the plane in Liverpool the other night?
Some craic had watching the girls trying to get their cases to fit into the Ryanair cage so that they didn't have to pay the £35 fee. Bags that were never going to fit where being squeezed in with arms, feet and whatever else came to hand, then they couldn't get them back out afterwards
Two lads had to help one woman, which gave the quote of the night "Jesus, it's like trying to get the sword out of the stone here"
Fairly surreal hour or so with all these lads sitting around a bar in Liverpool airport on their way home from football. 30/40 or so all glued to The X Factor on the big screen behind the bar, not what you'd expect on a football trip!

I'm sure all iPhone/ smart phone users can attest to this but I'm becoming increasingly dependent on mine, it's worrying, it's like a child, if I lost it I reckon I'd cry! I've literally everything it.
Currently reading "let there be range" by slowhabit while also reading the BBv, slow day here in allianz!
Also who remembers the days of proper drama, trippie and gholis massive dramabomb, those were the days! Bring them back IMO!This may or may not be an original thought of my own.

Hey Folks,
Quick Question:
My sister has given me her i-phone. I am currently a pay as you go customer with O2. I want to chage to bill pay getting one of those plans you get with the iphone like so many mins and texts and 1GB internet for €60.
Ideally I would like the 1GB internet and free texts to any network with free mins being the least desirable thing for me.
I have checked the website and this doesnt look possible. Should I change network? any suggestions?
Thanks

Sean Ingle All the latest on Wayne Rooney's future, including Sir Alex Ferguson's lunchtime press conference
The full details are not yet clear but the underlying fact is that Rooney now feels that his working relationship with Ferguson has suffered potentially irreparable damage in the fall-out from tabloid allegations about the striker's private life, coinciding with a dramatic loss of form and a growing sense that the most successful manager in the business has taken a hard-line approach with his player.Last edited by DeadParrot; 18-10-10, 10:26.People say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

There were a few lads behind me in the queue (maybe 80-85% of people had already gone through but were standing waiting to be let out to the plane) who had Priority boarding tickets. Up they stroll at the last second and are told to join the queue where they are
Looks of incredulity follow obv as they realise they've each paid €5 to be the last onto the plane!!

e.g. on a K74 monotone flop they would advocate c/r a large % of the time.

The main ethos of the book is not to be monkey aggro, it's to use a combination if variables to be aggro in the right spots but most importantly, in the right frequencies!This may or may not be an original thought of my own.
