15 August 2007 (The Poker Suite) - "You rain me up........"

Game 1 – 9 players - (1st Dan, 2nd Sharon, 3rd Lee):

Dave won huge hand vs Charlie with 2 pair vs lower 2 pair. Charlie £3 left in chips

and Charlie out first to the Wii station with 99 vs Dave's trips

Jude out next to Sharon's 3rd pocket pair of Aces of the night

IJ (66) out next to Lee (A8) - A hit

and Lee out in 3rd with A3 to Sharon (KQ) - Q hit.

Heads up, and Dan beats Sharon



Game 2 – 7 players - (1st Charlie, 2nd Lee, 3rd Baz):


After arguing for ten minutes about whether he put in a chip or not, Charlie eventually threw in the one black chip, shouting "Well, I'd better win this hand then". During the hand, Charlie introduced us to the thrill of tilt-raising, and after all that, he split the pot with Dave, both with A9

JJ out first with 2 pair, making a tough (incorrect) call to Lee's all in with trip Aces !

IJ (AA) out next to me (JQ spades) after I hit K 10 9 for a straight, which I did predict ! Unlucky, blogger-elect.
In a strangely similar hand, I (5 8 of clubs) knocked Dan (69) out after 6 (club) 3 (club) 5 on flop gave me mid pair and a flush draw, and Dan top pair. 9 clubs on river gave me flush and Dan 2 pair and a ticket home.

Dave out next to Lee

and I out next to Charlie

Heads up, Charlie got lucky hitting a flush vs Lee's pocket Aces to take first place.

Extra of the Week:
(thanks Ilan)


Nine words/phrases women use...


1.) Fine : This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.


2.) Five Minutes : If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.


3.) Nothing : This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.


4.) Go Ahead : This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!


5.) Loud Sigh : This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to #3 for the meaning of nothing.)


6.) That's Okay : This is one of the most dangerous statements a woman can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.


7.) Thanks : A woman is thanking you, do not question, or Faint. Just say you're welcome.


8.) Whatever : Is a women's way of saying F@!K YOU!

9.) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to #3.

And on that note, that's all for this week.

Judeturd donated shed loads of chips after JJturd raised it large. Judeturd called showing 55, much to everyone's surprise eith lots of high cards on board (JJturd hit his Q)

In a massive hand, JJturd (QJ) calls Judeturd's all in (A10) and Leeturd's all in (J9). 9 and 10 on flop helped Leeturd then Judeturd but Q on river wins it for JJturd and Leeturd and Judeturd both out (but Leeturd gets third place as had more chips then Judeturd)



In the second hand heads up, Daveturd goes all in with K6, JJturd calls with K2, and two 2's on the board give JJturd trips, and victory. Dirty bas-turd.

Charlieturd is too hairy for Lesbians. Lots of talk about Lesbians. Charlie advised us to read this book. How he knew it existed, is beyond me. (love the comment left by "A reader" : "My advice is don't wrap it up for Christmas and then forget to remove it from the pile of other presents. Went down like Ruud van Nistelrooy in the oppositions penalty box when she unwrapped it on Christmas morning in front of her mum, but hey, who cares? Other than that a very insightful and informative book. ")

Last Year's Blog – This Time Last Year:

Dan arrived nice and early while Dean arrived at 9.45pm. Dean was in an excitable mood as his career in pyramid selling is close to paying off. Just shows you that if you stick around long enough in these schemes they do pay off. Accenture have a new pyramid scheme that starts when you make partner, but they do ask for just a little more of your time.

Quotes on the night last year:

Charlie: “He’s English but he’s black”

Barry: “I’ve finished now with the dentist”
JJ: “That just leaves the brain surgery then”

JJ had a nice quote in the blog re the fast of Tammuz: "To all those fasting tonight/tomorrow fast well. To all those not fasting, I hope you choke."


True Story of the Week:


The FBI had an opening for an assassin. After all the background checks, interviews, and testing were done there were 3 finalists. Two men and a woman.
For the final test, the FBI agents took one of the men to a large metal door and handed him a gun.
"We must know that you will follow your instructions no matter what the circumstances. Inside the room you will find your wife sitting in a chair. Kill Her!
The man said, "You can't be serious, I could never shoot my wife." The agent said, "Then you're not the right man for this job. Take your wife and go home."
The second man was given the same instructions. He took the gun and went into the room. All was quiet for about 5 minutes. The man came out with tears in his eyes, "I tried, but I can't kill my wife."
The agent said, "You don't have what it takes. Take your wife and go home."
Finally, it was the woman's turn. She was given the same instructions, to kill her husband. She took the gun and went into the room. Shots were heard, one after another. They heard screaming, crashing, banging on the walls. After a few minutes, all was quiet. The door opened slowly and there stood the woman. She wiped the sweat from her brow.
"This gun is loaded with blanks" she said. "I had to beat him to death with the chair."
MORAL of the story: Women are evil. Don't mess with them - Pass on this advice !!





SPECIAL ONE OFF FEATURE : - Bad Day at the office ?

Funnier when you realize it's real! Next time you have a bad day at work...think of this guy.

Rob is a commercial saturation diver for Global Divers in Louisiana. He performs underwater repairs on offshore drilling rigs. Below is an E-mail he sent to his sister. She then sent it to a radio station in Ft. Wayne, Indiana, who was sponsoring a worst job experience contest. Needless to say, she won.
Just another note from your bottom-dwelling brother. Last week I had a bad day at the office. I know you've been feeling down lately at work, so I thought I would share my dilemma with you to make you realize it's not so bad after all. Before I can tell you what happened to me, I first must bore you with a few technicalities of my job. As you know, my office lies at the bottom of the sea I wear a suit to the office. It's a wetsuit. This time of year the water is quite cool.. So what we do to keep warm is this: We have a diesel powered industrial 'water heater'; this $20,000 piece of equipment sucks water out of the sea. It heats it to a delightful temperature. It then pumps it down to the diver through a hose, which is taped to the air hose. Now this sounds like a darn good plan, and I've used it several times with no complaints.
What I do, when I get to the bottom and start working, is take the hose and stuff it down the back of my wetsuit. This floods my whole suit with warm water. It's like working in a Jacuzzi. Everything was going well until all of a sudden, my ass started to itch. So, of course, scratched it. This only made things worse. Within a few seconds my ass started to burn. I pulled the hose out from my back, but the damage was done. In agony I realized what had happened. The machine had sucked up a jellyfish and pumped it into my suit. Now, since I don't have any hair on my back, the jellyfish couldn't stick to it. However, the crack of my ass was not as fortunate.
When I scratched what I thought was an itch, I was actually grinding the jellyfish into the crack of my ass. I informed the dive supervisor of my dilemma over the communicator. His instructions were unclear due to the fact that he, along with five other divers, were all laughing hysterically.
Needless to say I aborted the dive. I was instructed to make three agonizing in-water decompression stops totalling thirty-five minutes before I could reach the surface to begin my chamber dry decompression. When I arrived at the surface, I was wearing nothing but my brass helmet. As I climbed out of the water, the medic, with tears of laughter running down his face, handed me a tube of cream and told me to rub it on my ass as soon as I got in the chamber. The cream put the fire out, but I couldn't poop for two days because my ass was swollen shut.
So, next time you're having a bad day at work, think about how much worse it would be if you had a jellyfish shoved up your butt. Now repeat to yourself, "I love my job, I love my job, I love my job".



In the week that Deanturd officially calls "The start of the countdown to Xmas", I can rejoice in the luxury of knowing that I only have 21 more blogs to go, before I pass on the hallowed reins to Ilanturd


And on that note, that's all for this week.
