On Tuesday my good friend Kirsty got us tickets to the London premiere of "Leatherheads" starring George Clooney. Therefore we donned out best party dresses and headed off down the red-carpet pretending to be famous and sadly not convincing anybody. However, we did manage to exchange handshakes with the lovely Mr Clooney which made it all rather wonderful. The film itself was not really my cup of tea being about American Football and the 1920s, but was enjoyable nonetheless mostly due to the complementary mini bottle of champagne in everyone's arm rests.

This week's bounty tournaments on Absolute Poker were as lively as ever, with me finishing somewhere nondescript in both. A particular shout out must go to my new friend and arch-enemy SQUID299 who insisted on calling my all-in re-re-raise on a blank flop whilst actually declaring "I have absolutely nothing but want to knock you out anyway" and hit his miracle card on the river. I'll get you back one of these days, Batman.

Over the weekend I went 'oop North for my Sister's wedding which was classically northern i.e. full of alcohol and bad dancing to the Beegees and the YMCA. Admittedly, most of the bad dancing came from me but it was a very enjoyable evening from start to finish, and really great to catch up with family members who I hadn't seen for a long time. However, they were very curious about this "gambling" career I have chosen to follow instead of Physics, which is what the life plan was last time we had met. A solid career choice, I would say.
