Mar. 23rd, 2006 07:30 amThree important things that I have learnt in the last two years of poker-playing, roughly in order:
1) Other people do not think the same way as you do.
2) A hundred dollars still buys the same amount in a shop whether you are $500 down on the session, $500 up, or even.
3) Some sessions you will play for three hours and finish three dollars up or three dollars down. This is not sufficient justification to move up in stakes.
++++++++++++
Congrats to the England cricket team in India for a performance that is up there with the best. This was a team shattered by injuries, having lost its captain, its vice-captain, and then its star replacement opening bat. It came back from one-nil down, in India, to draw the series on a pitch where the ball was turning sideways. Superb.

Headline least likely ever to be seen in the South London Press
Inthe Lincoln Journal, Nebraska:
STORE ROBBER ESCAPES ON BICYCLE
Well, in South London, I believe the phrase is "Well, Duh". However, I guess that if the guy tried to make his getaway on the Interstate, it might be a bit more entertaining. Or maybe bicycles aren't that common in Lincoln. Sometimes the minds of sub-editors are hard to get into (see (1), above).
