I played the Ladies event on IPT Malta the other day, I didn’t really plan to play or wanted to, one can say I played under protest, yea yea I got a double moral regarding ladies events. Kill me.
I very strongly think poker is a game we do on equal terms, well that is if one exclude the lucky donks that always hit what they need, they play on totally different terms of course BUT as a gender issue we do play on equal terms so therefore lady’s events are not really something one should encourage.
BUT, its good PR and who doesn’t want to play among chicks only, nice smelling, soft sweet gorgeous creatures that smile and say sorry when they win. It’s so refreshing, especially the nice smells and gorgeous faces and who don’t like boobs? Girls who say they don’t lie. All girls are somewhat little bisexual, am very sure of this. Am yet to experience that part of life as the scared old fashion double moral preacher I am. But, am sure.
OK side tracked, I know. Happens.
Back to the poker, was hitting insanely good first 2 hrs, almost ashamed.. naeee who am I kidding with that statement, absolutely no one that knows me, am a bitch yes. Sorry. Got into complicated hands, called a few all ins too light and then struggled down to bubble where river send me out giving another lady, not so nice smelling or happy or friendly, and no nope nada nothing good about her if I think about it… a one card flush. Suuucks! But very happy my friend Cristina Pietricola won it, she well deserved it!
Also it was a nice event, chilled and nice, yea still some colluding Italian ladies but hey hoe colluding can only take you so far and they will eventually realize the negative sides of that getting out there in the big world. The event was super well organized in the big congress hall of Hilton. Big thumps up to Portomaso Casino and Pagano events that where the organizers. Nomination for best organized tours I seen will still go to Neil Kelly in Ireland but this was close … Neil… miss you and your bedroom voice in the microphone gliding around the tables! Soon soon soon I need to get back to my lads in Ireland for some good craic!
Craic- everyone knows what it is but no one can explain it.
Toss em in boys and girls and remember spades always win, follow that and you do well.

Libya Versus A Pig
News values to me are fascinating, interesting, sad and sometimes completely not understandable..but perhaps thats just me.
Right now a lot of bad things goes on all over the world. Here in Malta, we are of course quite concerned about what happens in Libya, not only since many Maltese ppl live there but as its very close and Malta seems to be looked at as a neutral little rock in the Mediterranean and a first step to the ’real’ Europe . And haters stop puking words out now; I know Malta is part of Europe. :)
Among all these serious stuff going on with Fire flights landed and pilots asking for asylum and war ships outside our coast and planes circulating not allowed to land but directed back to Libya,- in middle of this things demanding my attention from the computer screen I also listen to Swedish radio and its news every full hr and the biggest news for today,( being announced every hour! ) is somewhat to me in big contrast to what goes on in other parts of the world. The biggest news in Sweden today is that a pig might have been slaughtered ‘alive
Am proud to have a university degree in agriculture and worked many years in that sector both practically and theoretical and am absolutely think it’s very important with human treatment of animals of all sorts. However this made me a bit… I don’t know.. Silent?
The process in a Swedish slaughterhouse is to put the pigs to sleep with chemicals before they get emptied of blood and into the scalding tank, which is intended to soften their skin and remove their hair. Apparently this pig was not proven chemical dead before entering the scalding tank, the pig was a sleep but not dead.
Yes that’s not good. In fact it’s horrible, cruel and not at all necessary in order to feed us humans.
However.. I dunno… but it just feels a bit surreal watching videos from the streets in Libya and other very serious things happening all over the world, surreal to hear that the biggest thing that happened in Sweden today 23 th of February was the issue involving a pig. GGWP.

A Legend stepping down
I believe even if you dont have the love for the game, you can appreciate a great athletes action during his years, no wrong, MANY years of being on the real top of the mountain. Its a sad sad day indeed.
Peter 'Foppa' Forsberg has announced he is steeping down his amazing carrier, he has been injured on and off and its time to realize he can no longer do the game he love so much, as he says 'if i cant give it all my best i cant do it, i want people to remember me as someone who maybe not always was the best player on the ice but always DID his best.
I remember during my years in Africa running around hotels finding a satellite dish that can show me some World Cup Hockey. sitting alone watching ice hockey on a small black and white TV in 30 degrees sunshine drinking a local beer. Locals shaking their heads to the crazy white lady sitting there watching that. In Africa its only Football that counts.
Its very touching to see how emotional he is announcing this:
Below is a tribute to a legend, i get chills all over seeing some moves again and they can for sure be seen over and over again. Thank you 'Foppa' for many hrs of entertainment, drama, action and joy!

Date Fixing & Trixing
I like to think one should help friends with whatever they need.
Am not so sure that the two i just tried to help think the same BUT... if one dont try one dont know and i think they would have fun together. To be respectful i changed the names, people are so sensitive sometimes. Below is the mail i send them. Happy freaking Valentines!
He-ya both!
Catrine met Thomas, Thomas met Catrine :)
I think you two should go out and have a drink (Thomas is reaaally good at drinks Catrine!) Or perhaps you could eat some food, Catrine loves a nice steak, and she is also the best i know getting others drunk
You are both retarded gamblers so am very sure this must be a super date, well I cant call it date cos then you both be angry at me, but can you just please do this.. for me?
Kisses & Hugs

One of those Maltese things
Only in Malta
Yea thats a saying well known among ppl here, as a lot of things happening here are a bit different :) yes am nice today! Different is a good word.
We all went to lunch from office and when the orders came out, there was a mistake, 2 of the guys ordering the same crispy chicken burger and out came one of those and a grilled chicken file burger instead, the waiter looked at it and realized the mistake, said:
-ah well this one is better anyway, left the plate on the table and left.
-ah well this one is better anyway, left the plate on the table and left.
Hilarious!
I actually agreed with him, it looked much better then the other.
Heeeep
