Hey. First I must say, I tried to goad people in Friday's post by pushing some buttons but not one person took the bate and was up for a discussion, ah well! Further to that post it now transpires that the government has had it's knuckles wrapped and been told to compensate 85,000 people who have lost all or part of their company pensions on the grounds of bad advice, yet they are washing their hands of it with Stephen Timms, the minister for pensions reform, saying "it could not be the responsibility of taxpayers to bail out failed corporate pension schemes." So why are we, the taxpayers, going to bail out the civil service pension mess??
Anyway, my birthday weekend was FAB, drunk 3 evenings in a row, got some fantastic presents, cards (I love getting post), texts and all that, thank you everyone. You all make me feel special and very lucky! My family got me this chair and Dimples got me these chips, those where the big presents and at my age, getting 'big presents' is brill!
Feel ill today tho, probably just run down, chest, sore throat and the like. Those late nights, alcohol and as usual, I am not sleeping are to blame, I assume! Dimples has suggested that I read to get me in the mood for bed. I would really love to do that but as I find it so difficult, I am not sure I would gain much pleasure from it and what to read, I would not want to put the effort in to a book and then feel let down halfway through! I am thinking she should read to me and do the voices for the characters. I still get pleasure without the trauma and she gets to practice for reading in class, lol.
Played my first poker tournament on Sunday and enjoyed it immensely, finished in the middle, did the best with my cards and finally made the decision that the blinds where catching me and I had to make a move. I play too tight to win a big game like that, am disciplined and, usually only really fall to bad beats. I need to become more aggressive to win but that means playing more hands, taking risks and gambling, which I hate to do. Anyway, does everyone not know that is the correct way to play, ergo, they are all at it and soon my style of play will pay off?! Thanks Kayeso for setting everything up and running the games, shame you did not get to play yourself. Cheers for the copy of the tournament software too.
