In more interesting news it was my housemates birthday, so I am about to embark on the Fallowfield (student area) 18, 18 beverage consuming houses in about 2km sq. Last time we did this I bailed at about 14. Cos I’m a lightweight. My housemate walked out of the 16th at about 9 o’clock in the evening, across the pelican crossing and was sick everywhere, in front of all the traffic. He had just had a diesel as well; wish I had seen the driver’s faces. There are a lot of rules in our drinking, so if you want to get involved do but come prepared. Firstly you cannot say the word M-I-N-E. If you do it’s 10 press ups, wherever you are, whatever time. Trains, clubs and funerals count. If you don’t do them within 5 minutes they double, and so on. Obviously international drinking rules apply (no pointing, names, swearing, and the pint within a finger’s distance of the edge of the table, the thumb rule and save the queen game and obviously you cannot say the word D-R-I-N-K) If you slip up you have to drink 2 fingers. Also the ‘can you handle game’, effectively if someone says that followed by a challenge you have to do it. Last night a guy was asked if he could handle jumping up and heading the disco ball thing in the club they went too, he did, took a ridiculous leap, nailed it full on and it shattered everywhere: P. Another is the tell her, told her game, which I hope you are familiar with. Basically if you say ‘that girl looks rough’ and you don’t finish the sentence with SHAZZAM and as soon as you have finished someone says tell her, you have to go and tell her. Gets really awkward and funny. Last night apart from dropping a G (balla I can now say I have done this), we were playing drinking darts, a mixture of tenants, Smirnoff ice and amaretto. Got quite messy and ended in a mayonnaise and ketchup fight, we need a cleaner I think. There’s also the ‘rise’ game, basically making people answer really stupid questions that everyone already knows the answer too, if you ‘rise’ and give the answer, more ridicule+ drinking. Finally for banter my housemate has to do the worm in every pub, next to the bar. This is because he fails massively at doing the worm, hilarity ensues.
Cannot think of any more, sure there are, will be some, so can you handle it? If you can ill see you in Fallowfield in 30 mins. Get involved

Update with some empirical evidence. heres my last 10k hands, 8k at 50nl and 2k at 100nl and i am really pleased with the results. i have bitched and whined for the last two months but finally stopped bitching and went and worked at it and have (small sample i know) had some success. onwards and upwards and hopefully i can crush 100nl.
looking forward to blackpool this weekend, ill probably win the live donkament side event. props to palmer for taking me as my car is still dead.
thought id leave people with four choooons i like, something different, tell me what you think. i know most of you wont like it but meh, i enjoy it, great to go out to as well as to grind to

Graphs and Monies
Ok so a little update, with some empirical evidence. small sample i know but i am really pleased and am actually not running that well (W$SD), though my WTSD is lowish (sample size i think)
In other news i got 11 questions correct on University challenge, ship it.
onwards and upwards. i want to play another 5k at 50nl to make sure i have got it cracked and then back to try 100nl

Update number duex. Well I haven’t really played too much since we last spoke, having had my first hand in on Friday 30th and generally being busy. The essay was a critical article review on two authors who discuss social policy in the UK post 1970. To be honest it was quite dull and reasonably hard trying to condense each argument and find room to critically analyse both commentators. I am also struggling with some group work; with 2 random’s I was assigned to. One guy hasn’t done any reading-claiming Wikipedia is his source and the other is a crazy Irish girl who is more unorganised than me. This equals fail. I am sure we will do something in the end but its tedious unmotivated and lazy people seem to gravitate towards me.
Sport wise I am enjoying the NFL season although the titans are 1-6. Norwich are flying high and Man Utd bounced back from an appalling performance vs the scourcers. Good luck to them in making the Europa league. The most interesting thing will be the rugby internationals coming up, JW is back and playing well for Toulon, but with so many forward injuries I think we will struggle to make any inroads at all.
Poker wise I have not played that much, getting in around 25k hands last month. I think I have finally turned the corner though and will take another prolonged shot at 100nl. I will post graphs etc later but now is not the time.
In other news BT have cut my house off as I forgot or they buggered my direct debit up and so we know have to pay for the contract and then re set another up. I hate BT so much. I don’t quite know how our internet is working but it is, I’m not complaining, although it is very slow.
