Lunch yesterday with Kieran Barry, so that I could hand over a copy of the Full Tilt Tournament Book. I gave it a quick skim throgh before passing it on, and I spotted a couple of points which I felt were exploitable for cash games.

"Two Weeks Notice" was on TV last night. This is of little interest in itself, but you may recall that Lynne Truss mentions this film in her book Eats Shoots & Leaves. The debate focused on the absence of an apostrophe after the 's' in 'Weeks'. Anyway, this clearly caused a dilemma for the people in TV Listings Land. The Guardian, ignoring the illiteracies of the people who gave the film its official title, called it "Two Weeks' Notice", while the more downmarket Metro stuck with "Two Weeks Notice". I am aware that 95% of readers (and 99% of the population) don't give a shit about this kind of thing, but it's my blog, so yah, boo, sucks.

Another billion buck exposure to the subprime collapse mentioned yesterday. We really ought to have one of those thermomenters like they used to have for the Christmas Appeals on Blue Peter back in the days when all the TV appeals weren't fakes, spiced up for "tension".
