It's my birthday. I don't mind writing about this, because I am 51, and 51 is one hell of an excellent number. In particular, it's the number on the dartboard (3x17) that you always go for when you have 101 left. Finishing a game 60-51-50 is always satisfying. Then again, although I've done that twice in my life (and I've hardly played darts for 20 years) it's not my best "out". That was a 164. I did that once and the chalker was looking the other way. He turned round and went "bloody hell!". That was in the Brockwell Park Tavern.

But, nice though 57s and 54s are, I always had a special affinity for 3x17. Especially if they are female.

Poker stars sent me a $120 bonus offer for a birthday present. They claimed it was something to do with the WCOOP, but I know better. This time I didn't mess around waiting for all the bonus hunters to disappear. I just shot right in there to a $3-$6 game with 19% seeing the flop. $41 up and 15 hands later (never underestimate the power of J7s), I left, leaving some spluttering WTDs screaming "donkey!" at my departing back. After all, I had a newsletter to produce.

So, anyway, because it's my birthday, you have to suffer a couple of self-indulgent photos.
