What's been happening while I have been away ?

[jeffster]

Lads "n" Lasses, Have I missed anything major in the last couple of months while I have been away from PL ? Anyone won big money ? Anyone qualified for the WSOP ? Unfortunately, due my Dad having a stroke on May 5th, and then being diagnosed with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (Heart and Lung Disease) and then Cancer, I have spent too much time in bloody hospitals, and pretty much zero time on Poker... Oh, and I am still jobless, despite making 264 applications to date... I will try and play a bit from now on, to take my mind off other things...Mostly freerolls, but it will get me back into the swing of things... Cheers, Jeff Oh, and if I may take this opportunity, I hope the smokers amongst you give SERIOUS thought to quitting : Would you take £5 out of a cashpoint every day, and set fire to it ? A mate of mine reckons that in the last 8 years, he has spent around £20,000 on Cigarettes ! £20,000 ! Think of how many Poker tourneys you could buy into with that ! :loon OK, pontification over ;)

Misread this and hadn;t seen it was about smoking - thought it was about some peoples poker results :rollin and the one thing we winners here on Punters Lounge don't want to do is discourage people from losing at poker - long may they survive and enjoy the experience whilst still losing an affordable amount :clap :clap As a non-smoker I totally agree on the smoking front - mind you similar sentiments exist with every other hobby (or addiction) - even wine,women and song.....
