adios

It has just ocurred to me, last week neTELLER made me angry and I told them to go fuck themselves, today their share price plummeted 60%. Consider yourselves warned.

Gold!

I suspect that a secret consortium headed by Shepherd is behind this offer, and that in a move of sheer business genius that us mere mortals would never understand, he's playing both sides off against each other. I will put my balls on the table here and say I hope this deal goes through.

I haven't been following what himself and Sima are talking about, but he did a pretty poor job of putting me in my place.

I've made a very bad mathematical calulation somewhere there.

An album a week, that's not hard going for anyone into their music, I know people who would listen to a lot more, and I think Patrokles is a student/isn't gainfully employed at the moment. Having said that, anyone who makes bold statements about music they haven't even heard yet is painting themselves a bit of a gobsheen.

Agreed. If you're in sales, that sales list could be gold for future employment, and code you've writen can often come in handy again as a techie.

America, Fuck Yeah!

Somewhere out there there's a US citizen, who makes his living with online poker and had invested heavily in neTELLER. There's a mackem at my table.

Munchen McGroin tbh.

Just an MTT this morning, I don't do many of these, mainly playing the 3.40 SnGs to get practice. I'm profitable at those now, so I'll move up to the 10+1s this week. I had to take a day off yesterday as I've dreamed about nothing but poker for a week, still dreamt about it last night, although it was a lot less frantic, then I dreamt I was a pregnant woman.

100% Likely to be signed, was passed unanimously in the senate. Will be signed within two weeks Yep, I've caught up with you on a 5 minute break. Doesn't look to good in the short term. Tax and the Christian vote, nothing Bush does is ever actually about Christianity. So I have faith this'll be sorted by the end of the year, still going to hit online gambling pretty hard. You can bomb Iraqi children to pieces, George, but now you've hit my new hobby where it hurts, cunt.

I've done nothing but play poker for a couple of weeks now. I've kind of made myself redundant. Only 1800 odd, I think, 800 left now.

Looks like political manouvering on both sides to me, but I haven't been following it closely enough. Any idea how likely Bush is to pass it into law? I'm playing at the same time, so it's quite difficult to read through long documents. I have the gf sending me info down as she finds it.

neTELLER are outside their jurisdiction, though. My information says Party haven't even pulled the plug yet, won't do so unless Bush signs it in. Am I wrong?

That's "reet canny gan" I reckon you're an imposter anarl, reet over-egged that, and no proper Geordie could be a gayer.

Off sick with the bad AIDS? HF - I am most humbly agreeing about this pre-scran washing you are speaking of.

Any chance I could have Gemmill's Geordieship? He's clearly an imposter and I promise to give it a reet good go.

I reckon there's some truth in that. I'm never ill either, I do wash my hands after I go to the toilet, becuase I'm not a complete SICKO, but I'm not as fanatical as the girlfriend, and she's always fucking ill.

They slipped this through on the back of a big port security bill; how do we live in a world where this shit can actually happen? I don't think this is as bad as first seemed, they've banned US cards and accounts from making direct payments, no mention of neTELLER, which is why it was invented in the first place. They may agree to it as a foreign banking operation, but they are under no obligation. The Federal Bank and AG have 270 days to even figure out how to enforce this thing. Party have massively jumped the gun here, idiots. They should just sort out a taxation agreement with the US, problem most likely solved.

Look to mong-mag, there's an intellectual weight behind his comedy, at least comparatively.

That's exactly what life is like for the residents of Acapulco.

That laugh wasn't meant for you btw. As I said; best wank I ever had. I'm getting shit cards, I also blame you for that.

Sorry, I had thought it was only myself and the Fish who'd commented. So thought "people" could only be referring to us two.
