Bath that is (cockney rhyming slang, for the uninitiated). WARNING: jargon-laced poker discussion ahoy. If you don't understand poker then you won't have a scooby what I'm on about (see what I did there?).It's just not been my evening. I was playing in a monthly game that I've become involved in, which is a tenner buy-in with unlimited re-buys (fiver each) for the first hour and then an opportunity to take a top-up as well after the hour (five or ten quid, your choice). It started well enough with me doubling my stack in the second hand with my...

'They' say that moving house is one of the most stressful things you can do in life and I can well believe it. I've moved plenty of times before but mostly of my own volition (with the exception of two previous moves one of which was rather fraught as I was trying to get away from a psychotic landlord who wanted to break my legs but the other time was due to a tenancy not being renewed but I had 3 months to find somewhere else). This time it is again thanks to the non-renewal of tenancy not, I hasten to add, through any fault of our own or indeed...

Apparently the most miserable day of the year was in fact today. Well, all Mondays in January are pretty shit to be honest, especially when you're up at the crack of dawn in the dark to go to work, it's windy, wet and grey and you haven't had enough sleep. Roll on, err, February? No, no that's not a lot better as it contains that day of the year to which I have a particular aversion, St Valentines. How about March? Yeah that'll do - there's St Patricks day on the 17th and there's a long weekend off work thanks to Easter and of course Easter eggs...

It's late on Saturday night (or early Sunday morning) and I'm watching a repeat of this years Jools Annual Hootenanny which features, amongst others, Kylie. I've always fancied her, most blokes do, but on this show, in that dress, singing that song (Two Hearts) she was utterly, utterly captivating. If there is such a thing as the perfect woman then for me, she is it.Hot diggity damn, schwing and indeed quite literally, oh mom...

I was just wolfing down my dinner, an excellent takeaway curry (big up my local curry house The Panahar in Bath for not only a fine and reasonably priced curry but for chucking in loads of freebies too and extra onion bhajis. Gwan the rood) and I had the gogglebox* on in the background which was showing some sort of program on ITV about consumer debt, a popular subject these days. At first I assumed this might be interesting in that it might investigate and explore the factors that have driving the rising tide of personal debt in the UK but it...

At least, it is acccording to some university mathematics boffins with nothing better to do (although the actual date seems to vary according to where you look, it's always a Monday in January. Apparently divorce lawyers always expect to do well on said day though). Thing is, I can believe it. Today, I have been miserable as sin. I shouldn't be really - I got away from a job that bored me, I'm young (ish), healthy (I hope) and I'm not constrained by a family or mortgage. But I'm not happy.It's only been a few weeks in this job and already I hate...

Although it doesn't feel it thanks to a lot of beer and a 5am finish. Time for a beer break I thnk - I usually last about 2 weeks. Will this year be any different?Edit: Amusingly, I've just noticed the post I did at 5am and forgot about. Ah, you've got to love drunken internet usage.Currently feeling: Utterly ran...
