I know this is not really the place for this, but don't think I've ever posted in General Chat, and most of my friends on PL are here. Had my last day at work today, and was planning on moving North to be a bit nearer family. But....a few weeks ago I was approached about a job in the Philippines, and after several Skype calls, I got the job, and leave next Tuesday ready to start next Thursday!
Philippines are trying to set themselves up as a rival to Macau, and there are now 4 casino/resorts in Manila - City of Dreams (Crown Towers - part of the Melbourne one, Nobu Hotel and Hyatt), Solaire, Resorts World, and the latest, Okada Manila, which is who I will be working for. I will be a bit out of town (65km), but it sounds great - beer is less than $1 a pint, food very cheap, and I'm sure there are lots of other attractions in that part of the world  
There seem to be quite a few poker clubs in Manila as well, so hopefully will play a bit more than I have the last couple of years - including an APT in a couple of weeks at the Winford Hotel & Casino 
If all goes well I will be there for a couple of years at least, so if anyone is in the area, send me a message and we can have a beer or two 
In the meantime, good luck to everyone I've met along the way 

$22.82 I remembered to screenshot this one

So Shocked...such sad news, Oobs RIP. Enjoyed some great run ins on the tables and had some great fun in the online poker world with such a great player.
Respect Mark, we enjoyed banter and i think we will have cursed each other at the computer a few times but all in the good name of poker and always with respect.
So sorry to hear this Donna, thoughts are with you, family and friends.
        A very sad BBK.
