you take the hi road ...

welcome back, gentle reader.

well, my return to the pl08 cash zoo was not pretty. then again, omaha being the beast that it is, you really need good starting hand selection ... and when you are dealt this type of thing, maybe its time to go do something else. read on, or should that be fucking-stroll-on ...

needless to say i won fuck all. i think sub-conscious tilt set in. see, there is one guy at the table who is playing every-single-fucking-hand ... and winning with trash ...

theBa$tard sat down with $25 and when i left he had $70 ......

here is a selection of his hands that went to showdown ......

[ Kc, Qh, 7c, 5d ]two pairs, Kings and Queens.
[ 7s, 8d, 4h, 7d ]a full house, Sevens full of Kings.
[ 6c, 2d, 3d, 7s ]a full house, Sevens full of Twos.

[ 9c, 2s, 6s, Jd ]
[ 6d, 7d, Jh, Td ]a flush, Queen high.
[ 4d, 8d, Kd, 3c ]a straight Ace to Five.

doom_bfg shows [ Ks, Kc, 9c, 3h ]a straight Nine to King.
theBa$tard shows [ 3s, Ac, 7d, 3d ]a flush, Queen high.

I'm sure there is a lesson in there somewhere.

welcome back, gentle reader.

oh the joys of do-it-yourself pc repair. yawn.

good stuff, the aTi Catalyst Control Center installed, fully, works a treat. now back to dual monitor working.

and thats about all i have on the system at the moment.

the question is, how much "stuff" do i re-install ?

you see, to get round hdd failure i am investing in a RAID setup *)
how the hell can i afford that ? simple, buy a cheap pci raid controller, hook it up to two disks and off we go ... i am too fucking lazy to be arsed backing things up to cd/dvd whatever.
so even if it is the cheapest RAID array on gawds green earth, who cares. the card i bought will be here in ... oh, super saver delivery withstanding, probably next week, week after that ??

but it gets rave reviews and is simple to use ... alledgedly ... i guess we will soon find out. btw, anyone got a spare 160 or even a 120 gB hdd they do not need ? come on, my need is greater than yours :)

so my big 250 hdd has been reduced to 35 gB ... how long before the remaining 35 goes bang ? bottom line ? i need another hdd to mirror the one i am currently using which is a 120 gB.

:)(:lets gambol ... will start installing stuff and let the RAID card build the mirror *) (*

welcome back, gentle reader.

as you know my pc went the way of the dodo last night. this is an ongoing post of my attempts to rebuild the fucker, so if you are looking for poker or anything remotely not bad beat ... avoid these posts like the plague.

***make backups now people***

long story short, seems my primary disk is fukked !! it is (was) 250 gig ... so from the top ...

turned the pc on and watched it go into and endless boot-get-to-windows-flash-screen-reboot cycle. not good.
rip out the primary drive after fannying about getting the case covers off - one side was jammed - try and boot from second drive ... get error message telling me its a slave ... oh for fuck sake ... rip that out, move jumper making it a master disk, oh and move jumper on primary disk to make it a slave while i am at it ... it wont boot of course, no windows system on it ... now where is that windows cd ...

locate windows cd, install on new primary drive ... the cunt went into the same boot cycle as before, fuck ...
tryed a repair install, no joy. another new install, no joy. delete partition and new install ... finally, i have something that finally fucking works.
connect the damaged drive ... windows sees a 35 gig, get this, unformatted !! drive ... do i have backups ?? like fuck, cunt ! you cunt ! what a fucking cunt !

can you feel my frustration building ??

sometimes i wish i was non techie ... then i could just dump the fucking thing at pcworld ...

so that was last night, somewhere approaching 2am ffs.

******* part2 *******

lets see how it goes tonight.

so i have a working system with jack shit on it. internet works, straight to avg for antivirus and antirootkit (??) no probs there, download, install, update, scan all ok :)
next ... wtf ? little yellow shield appears in taskbar ... windows updates of course ... gawd !! 81 of the fucking things ... eventuall they are done ...
next, i want to sort my dual monitor set-up. tell windows to extend desktop to second monitor ... it does ... and makes the second monitor my primary monitor ... did i tell it to do that ? no i fucking did not ... can i get it to make no1 monitor ie lhs monitor, the primary monitor ... can i fuck ... this is getting fucking ridiculous ...

i have to unplug monitor two and reboot to regain control ... bill, your guys are too fucking smart for their own good.

next stop ati for the latest Catylyst 6.11 software ... 50 odd mB, no probs. download and install ... except it wont install all components because my .net Framework is only v1 .... aaaaaarrrgghhhhhhhhhh

off to bill's people and find .net Framework is up to v3.5 ... whatever ... download the fucking thing and tell it to install ... it does ... except it it is now telling me to shut explorer before it continues ... fuck fuck fuck

i may, or may not, be back ....... to be continued (23.27hrs)

ok i am back.

.net framework installed. now installed validation tool. now need 'priority updates' as follows - malicious software removal, ie7, cardspace ?? update and surprise surprise a fucking service pack for my new friend .net framework ... working for bill is a job for fucking life ... reboot required, what a fucking surprise.

A customer enters a pet shop.

Mr. Praline: 'Ello, I wish to register a complaint.

(The owner does not respond.)

Mr. Praline: 'Ello, Miss?

Owner: What do you mean "miss"?

Mr. Praline: I'm sorry, I have a cold. I wish to make a complaint!

Owner: We're closin' for lunch.

Mr. Praline: Never mind that, my lad. I wish to complain about this parrot what I purchased not half an hour ago from this very boutique.

Owner: Oh yes, the, uh, the Norwegian Blue...What's,uh...What's wrong with it?

Mr. Praline: I'll tell you what's wrong with it, my lad. 'E's dead, that's what's wrong with it!

Owner: No, no, 'e's uh,...he's resting.

Mr. Praline: Look, matey, I know a dead parrot when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now.

Owner: No no he's not dead, he's, he's restin'! Remarkable bird, the Norwegian Blue, idn'it, ay? Beautiful plumage!

Mr. Praline: The plumage don't enter into it. It's stone dead.

Owner: Nononono, no, no! 'E's resting!

Mr. Praline: All right then, if he's restin', I'll wake him up! (shouting at the cage) 'Ello, Mister Polly Parrot! I've got a lovely fresh cuttle fish for you if you
show...

(owner hits the cage)

Owner: There, he moved!

Mr. Praline: No, he didn't, that was you hitting the cage!

Owner: I never!!

Mr. Praline: Yes, you did!

Owner: I never, never did anything...

Mr. Praline: (yelling and hitting the cage repeatedly) 'ELLO POLLY!!!!! Testing! Testing! Testing! Testing! This is your nine o'clock alarm call!

(Takes parrot out of the cage and thumps its head on the counter. Throws it up in the air and watches it plummet to the floor.)

Mr. Praline: Now that's what I call a dead parrot.

Owner: No, no.....No, 'e's stunned!

Mr. Praline: STUNNED?!?

Owner: Yeah! You stunned him, just as he was wakin' up! Norwegian Blues stun easily, major.

Mr. Praline: Um...now look...now look, mate, I've definitely 'ad enough of this. That parrot is definitely deceased, and when I purchased it not 'alf an hour
ago, you assured me that its total lack of movement was due to it bein' tired and shagged out following a prolonged squawk.

Owner: Well, he's...he's, ah...probably pining for the fjords.

Mr. Praline: PININ' for the FJORDS?!?!?!? What kind of talk is that?, look, why did he fall flat on his back the moment I got 'im home?

Owner: The Norwegian Blue prefers keepin' on it's back! Remarkable bird, id'nit, squire? Lovely plumage!

Mr. Praline: Look, I took the liberty of examining that parrot when I got it home, and I discovered the only reason that it had been sitting on its perch in the
first place was that it had been NAILED there.

(pause)

Owner: Well, o'course it was nailed there! If I hadn't nailed that bird down, it would have nuzzled up to those bars, bent 'em apart with its beak, and
VOOM! Feeweeweewee!

Mr. Praline: "VOOM"?!? Mate, this bird wouldn't "voom" if you put four million volts through it! 'E's bleedin' demised!

Owner: No no! 'E's pining!

Mr. Praline: 'E's not pinin'! 'E's passed on! This parrot is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e
rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the perch 'e'd be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the
bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!! THIS IS AN EX-PARROT!!

(pause)

Owner: Well, I'd better replace it, then. (he takes a quick peek behind the counter) Sorry squire, I've had a look 'round the back of the shop, and uh,
we're right out of parrots.

Mr. Praline: I see. I see, I get the picture.

Owner: I got a slug.

(pause)

Mr. Praline: Pray, does it talk?

Owner: Nnnnot really.

Mr. Praline: WELL IT'S HARDLY A BLOODY REPLACEMENT, IS IT?!!???!!?

Owner: N-no, I guess not. (gets ashamed, looks at his feet)

Mr. Praline: Well.

(pause)

one of said mates got me an "on leave" email auto-reply.

last time he did this he had taken a week off to work on the house ... ha ha ha ... he spent the week playing some new hot game on xbox ... and i thought this might be why he was off, so sent him a teXt ...

reply 1 - practicing sitting on a beach in the sun at the moment

message 2 - motherfucker ! where ?

all good stuff i am sure you will agree. and don't come bak here and give me shit about the length of the damned things, some of us cannot, nor want, to set our scribbles down in new english tExt,

a Rosie rant

some of us like to write in the fine archaic form known as written english. me included and if you could be arsed to count the words written here, i am sure the count will rival the above.

tandoor se.

after almost a month tillerman returns.big deal you say, well actually, a thirty fucking k big deal, actually. nip on over there, have a quick read ( he does not go into any detail what-so-ever btw, saved you an extra few mouse clicks there mate :) then get your arse back here !

so, poker account "compromised" and 30k missing ... how long does it take to lose 30k ffs ?? but ... they know where the thief is from ... and tillerman hopes he/she gets some jail time ...

dont want to rain on your parade mate, but here is a tail of woe, first fucking hand woe at that. in fact fuck it, here's two for the price of one ...

many many moons ago I worked in Manchester. one evening, after a few ales, i returned to the abode of a young lady ... ok, two older slappers women ... and I lost my debit card ! either in the back of the taxi or one of them took it after the "entertainment" was over, whatever.
next morning i was off to london for a few days and when i realised i did not have my card with me, I assumed i'd left it in the hotel in manchester ... hey, i was pretty young you know !
so i return to manchester, no card ! return to glasgow two days later, go to bank, no fucking internet banking back then children, check bank account and its fucking empty ... 800 quid ... gone ... fuck !!
the motherfucker who ended up with my card had used it in the brand spanking new public telephones, which took credit cards, no-fucking-pin-number-required, thankyou, and called every fucking sex line the cunt could lay his grubby hands on ... thats right folks, an £800 telephone sex line bill ... wander if its mi5 or mi6 who monitor me .......
proceed to nearest police station, report it, sit and wait almost an hour for CID to speak to me. back then it was a serious crime, well, serious enough for CID to be interested. they take me to an interview room, one man & one woman detective, never ever forget that.
they sit me down and the first fucking thing the man cunt says
" if we find you have anything to do with this, we will get you ... "
woman cunt then chips in
" it would be better if you are honest from the start ... "

i always remember, i was totally speechless and took several minutes to lever my jaw off the floor.

after a bit they relent, take the details, give me my crime no. and send me on my very unmerry way. in the first instance the bank told me i was highly unlikely to get my money back ... fuck ! ... and i am still convinced to this day, that the only reason i got all my money refunded by the bank was due to the er, friendship er, i had going with the local branch manageress at that time *)

fast forward two decades ...

at 18.01 about one year ago, i get a phone call from my bank, they have never phoned me at home in the ten years i have banked with them ...
"have you authorised a chaps payment, sir ?"
"a what ..."
seems someone has accessed my log-on details and made a CHAPS payment for £2,000 plus change to someone else's bank account ... oh, and the bank charged my account £18 fucking quid for the fucking privelege ! wtf ??
off i go to the local police station and to put it politely, they are not interested. they want proof !!
two days later i get some paperwork from the bank, detailing the transaction. it has the receiving bank account name, sort code & account number ! back to police station who wont accept this as proof ... had to get bank to send me a fucking statement and mark the fraudulent activity on that before police would even look at it.
so eventually i have my crime no. and fax it back to bank and i had to fax it 3 times !!! before they admitted they had received it.
initially they told me it could take 6 weeks to investigate .... two days later, money back in my account.

draw your own conclusions.

the bank also admitted, off the record, that i was one of several accounts that got robbed. as if further proof were required, i was chatting to my cousin a few weeks back, we got onto this very subject and before i divulged any detail to her she had told me when it happened and also which bank it was. seems there were enough people affected that it reached the ears of the papers, Glasgow Herald i believe. no way a broadsheet reports this type of thing if only one punter has been done over.

and that was the last i heard.

chances of criminal prosecution for either of us, tillerman ? close to zero, certainly in my case, sincerely hope i am so wrong on that one.

meetha.

and on a lighter note, here is one that always amuses me :)

True story apparently, It's about the bond formed between a little girl and a gang of building workers. It's allegedly true and makes you want to believe in the goodness of people and that there is hope for the human race.

A young family moved into a house next door to a vacant building plot.
One day a gang of building workers turned up to start building a house on the empty plot. The young family's 5-year-old daughter naturally took an interest in all the activity going on next door and started talking with the workers. She hung around and eventually the hairy ar$ed builders (but all with hearts of gold) moreor less adopted the little girl as a sort of project mascot.
They chatted with her, let her sit with them while they had tea and lunch breaks, and gave her little jobs to do here and there to make her feel important. At the end of the first week they even presented her with a pay envelope containing two pounds in 10p coins.
The little girl took her 'pay' home to her mother who suggested that they take the money she had received to the bank the next day to start a savings account. When they got to the bank the cashier was tickled pink listening to the little girl telling her about her 'work' on the building site and the fact she had a 'pay packet'.

"You must have worked very hard to earn all this" said the bank cashier.

The little girl proudly replied, "I worked all last week with the men building a big house."

"My goodness gracious," said the cashier,

"Will you be working on the house again this week, as well?"

The little girl thought for a moment and said,

"I think so. Provided those cunts at Jewson deliver the fucking bricks."

earlier this year my washing machine packed up, you try going for a week or two without one, especially when your other half likes to do two washes a day ...
the seal on the drive shaft of my car is on its way out ... this is really fucking annoying because i get free rail travel but had to buy a second car when my work relocated to a non railway friendly location, the cunts could have told me this before i signed up ...
the fridge decided last night that it had also had enough ....
my youngest had her year 1 jags last week and since then decided that sleeping through the night was a bad idea. i am fucking knackered and so is she. the mrs is also a little tired and cranky ...
the family car has an intermittent fuel injection fault and when in fault-mode refuses to go any faster than 20mph ... oh and the tax is due at the end of the fucking month
so for all you whiny cunts who think you got it bad, dream on.
btw i felt like shit all day Saturday so had an early night and so no poker ... did get to poker Sunday morning ... docs for the morning after pill next morning ... oops.

i get KQo in mp ... one caller before me and one after me, and the button, bless her pushes all-in ... there are a whopping t70 in the pot btw the blinds fold but mr ep calls and the rest of us fold ... so what monsters do these two have ??
