Pinch Punch! The first day of the month!

Soooooo........... It would seem that this is a Bi-annual Blog and not a daily or even weekly blog....... Should I even bother say sorry?! It's not that I wouldn't mean it but I just don't know if anyone bothers to read it! Ho Hum!
I am just too lazy (actually, I am ill) to write a blog post today but I have posted something for my daily newspaper; The Hackney Poor Boy Digest, news on Travel, Technology, Business, Poker, Arts & Entertainment. Have a look, you might like it!

Hi All,



So....... It is November already!!!!!!! Happy New Month Everybody!

I must apologise to you all for my somewhat invisibility over the past few weeks.... I have been busy at work and am now going through a very bothersome bout of Flu, at least I hope it is...... Before any of you say it; I am booking an appointment with the Doc today!


I hope you are enjoying the paper. Today's edition even has a Liver Lovers club mentioned..... I will be making some enquires! My close friends will understand; See the Lonely Planet video in today's (Nov 1) edition!


My poker has really come to a standstill recently. A combination of time & money have both been a factor but I hope to get back on the HORSE soon..... (see what I did there?) Both London's Calling & The Players Championships are coming up.


Thank you to the 131 people who take the time to read through my newspaper. I will try to be less lazy with the content and am happy to give you what you want, just let me know!

Have a great week and a fantastic November!


Yours,

Hackney Poor Boy!

The Journey

Hi All,

I know, I know...! I was meant to be a better blogger this year and yet this is only my second blog post so far? Sorry!

I am out & about on 'walkabout' at the moment and I thought I should give you all an update on what's been happening so here it is. I am in Austin, Texas at the moment. I am here for work attending HITEC 2011. It is a show that I attend every year and those of you that know me also know that I always go to Vegas afterwards! Yep, I'll be winging my way on American Airlines First Class from Austin to Vegas on Friday for some WSOP madness! Can you tell I am excited?!



Airport Traffic Jam!



Anyway back to the present; I flew BA out of the newly opened LHR T5C on Saturday, it was quite nice actually..... It looked new & smelt new. So there I was sitting on my first flight of the day from London to Chicago and some bright spark decides to shut one of the runways which means a 1 hour delay in London.

When we did make it into the air, the flight was pretty uneventful. I watch three movies but don't even remember what they were! I forgot to get duty free fags too! Oh dear, I'm getting old! I got to Chicago and managed to squeeze a quick cigarette in before making my connecting flight to the 100+ degree f, Austin, where we ended up taking off late, quelle surprise!



Ballers get there!



I got to the hotel and after more than 30 mins & talk of booking me out to another hotel; I finally got keys to my room at the InterContinental Stephen F. Austin hotel. Yep, I did get an upgrade! OiOiOiOiOiOiOi!!! Why can't I get that on planes?!?!

Anyway, I was going to carry on with what has happened since I arrived here but I don't want to bore you any more than I have already & this is kind of a natural place to stop (how else am I going to increase my blog count?!). So I have changed the title to The Journey & I will be writing a few more blogs in the next few weeks but until then, be good!

A Belated Happy New Year!

Hi Guys,

I can see that we have started the way we mean to go on this year!!!! We are already on day 5 of 2011 & I haven't even said Happy New Year!!!!! Well There it is!

I wil try my hardest to be a better blogger this year (OMG, did I just make a new year's resolution?!), there are many things that will be changing in my life; health, weight, lifestyle & poker so I will try to keep you up to date with the gossip!

I did tell myself one thing this year though & that was to try & have something to eat each morning so today I had muesli!!!! I then went onto a coffee no sugar! Only because I had run out though!

Anyway, I have like a million emails to get through after the hols so I bid you farewell! Have a great day no matter where you are & I will blog ya later!
