Bought New Car!
Not long back from the Arnold Clark carshowroom where I've just purchased myself a silver 2005 Ford Focus ST170 like the one pictured! I absolutely love my black Alfa 156 2.5 v6 but it's a 1999 model with 77k on the clock and the repairs were getting more and more expensive.The Focus looks great, drives like a dream and I can't wait to get the loan and plate transfers etc sorted. ( my "Acorn 1" number plate *)
It's still got a year left on the Ford warranty and will hopefully cost a bit less to run too.I spend about £150 ( $300) per month on petrol alone just now for my Alfa.
The Focus ST is just about as quick as the Alfa,has full traction control option and half leather sports seats.I can't wait to get it now!
Poker bit back last night at the tables after a decent start at 'Stars.I was $30 up at my cash table when my Kings were busted by some donkey calling pot size bets with 910 on a 10 high flop and hitting his 9 on the river.
I moved to a Party $100 nl 6 max table and suffered another suckout, which led to me making a daft tilty bluff ( I had Q10c and was on a failed flush draw) against the tables resident fishy calling station, who called my river bet with his 3rd pair.I realised I was tired and had had enough so I watched some of the Party Poker open on Ch4 before heading to bed $80 down.
On reflection I wished I'd shown the character to stay at that last table,tighten up my game and try and take out the fish using my failed bluff to hopefully get me action.Perhaps though, after that nasty combination of suckouts and card deadness, my bed was the best place for me.
I could also blame the bloggers curse for my woes last night.It seems everytime I read about another bloggers poor night at the tables I go and have one myself! More success stories please!
Righty that's all for today.Thanks for reading...
* ok my private plate isn't "Acorn 1" but maybe one day....

Thank god you already have a fine lady otherwise you'd probably die a bachelor driving that thing! What happened to the Audi R8?
It was the Mazda rx8 I was looking at and the bottom line was I was looking at another gas guzzling expensive car to run.I only do 9k miles per year and don't exactly throw my car round bends ala Top Gear hence the more sensible option.
Still 0-60 in just over 7 sec :-))
Very nice motor mate. Maybe if you could win the Sunday Million you could get yourself the "Acorn 1" number plate!!! You never know....
I agree that we need to see more blogger success posts too!!

LOL @ the 'Acorn 1' plate...for a moment there I thought you were serious.. Would look pretty damn cool :-)
Nice car aswell, I gotta say I'm jealous of all those open Scottish roads on which you can really test it. I used to get up there twice a year but its been nearly 2 years since my last visit.
Maybe Acorn 40 would be more appropiate?
;-)
or how about ' I HATE KK'?????
come on now thats a number plate!!
BM>> I can't win the Bloggerment let alone the Sun Mill mate :-))
Cad>>cheers,If only the roads into Glasgow every morning were open and not the clogged up nightmare I have to face!
Miasdad>> If I'm lucky enough to grow as old as your good self I may consider that option.( many years down the line!)
Kenn>> Hehehe.Nice one and spot on!
If you want poker success stories then you won't be reading my blog for a while..!
But I agree that you should have stayed at the table, tightened up, and waited for your chance. It would have come eventually. I played ultra-tight yesterday with my last $5 and although I ended on a miniscule profit the fact was that kind of play saw me through some atrocious cards and two big hands that were busted by donkeys.
Ordinarily I would have busted out completely somewhere along the way with such poor pocket cards but I weathered the storm through tight play. It does give you back some confidence...
Hehe Jack.It won't stop me reading and adding your blog to my sidebar!
Well done on weathering your own storm.It's some bloody game eh!
