This week’s action……

Hammerheed is donning head gear in Bennidorm protecting the crown from harmful UV rays……

With that 6 eager leaguers prepare to wager money on an event with an uncertain outcome with the primary intent of winning additional money and/or material goods…..

Extra dealing duties are required from the players as an overseas skateboard injury transforms the Poisson into the one armed bandit……

After an hours worth of trading clays at the Cavehill swap meet, eventually some serious hands of poker get played. Irwinator and Cally are giving it the Stevie G and Frank Lampard as things are going a bit Liverpool V Chelsea esque, reminiscent of a champions league quarter final. And similar to said football match it’s Lampards Aces that seal the deal and send the scouser home with nothing to show from Europe but a souvenir in the shape of a spoon……

No change for Deadly in league positions, and a portion of chips, peas and gravy soon takes presidency over patience…..

If it’s not pocket aces, then its quad eights for the luck box Cally, and the chance to go clear at the top of the league seems evermore realistic. This dream is quickly shattered as its easy come easy go and soon enough the big stack becomes the small, and small becomes none…….

With several tins and the guts of a bottle of red consumed, the introduction of some fine cabbage certainly shines a different light on matters for Swiller. Encroaching on his 30^th anniversary, it seems like the man would have trouble counting to this number as the bumbled mathematics take hold and play practically grinds to a halt. Eventually the correct blinds get posted and the cards resume……..

On any other evening a couple of ladies would be exactly what I would be looking for, but on this Thursday night, with my AJ not improving, the ladies prove to be my undoing, bubble for the bandit……

Birthday boy and the stag take the center stage for the heads up battle. The only birthday present Swiller will get is a sore head in the morning as the professor of negative equity lives up to the reverse of his name to claim the spoils…….

I’m back in the province………and back on blog duty!
