traffic and football

Friday night the lads had a poker night - it was down to Ben me and drew to win. Drew couldnt be arsed so went "all in" and lost so that left ben and i - Ben won as he had more chips, so after a few rounds bet big and won. it was a good laugh. Drew could/would have won it i think if he didnt give in - well it would have been close between him and ben.

Saturday picked up my shiny new bike - it is ace. Then cycled to the boys house where my car was from the night before and drove J and myself to Bristol to watch City V Doncaster Rovers. the bastard was it took us 2hours to get there - damn caravans!

The game wasnt the best - 0-0 thriller. then on the way home there had been a crash so we were stuck again for 20mins or so!

Saturday had a plesent night in with Yvette.

Sunday Yvette and i drove to Cardiff to see my brothers new house but more importantly watch the Edinburgh Derby.
His house will be very nice once the builders have finished knocking down walls etc. On the way into cardiff we got stuck in traffic for a few miles (community sheild traffic).

we left before the community sheild finished to miss the traffic - but we were till held up (motorway goes to 2 lanes through a tunnel) for 1/2 hour or so.

Last night i read my new book - it is the newest in the "Skinner series" of books by Quintin Jardine - effin excellent books. highly recommended - them and Ian Rankins Rebus books.

and that thats folks

I would just like to add I lost all my chips at poker within the first 5 hands

But then me and April went to Cribs and somehow broke the 10p dropper machine so that it payed out 30 p every time you hit collect.

After about 25 mins we emptied the machine of 10p's and walked away £66 better off. not bad for 10p bet
