We had crocuses and snowdrops here last week too.
I think they got washed away in the rain, though...

Nice pix!

Lol. Freezing cold at the moment, snowing and icing. Did I fold the winter too fast?

Passive-Aggressive gotta love it.

The second hand reminds me of the two overly-polite people who die of old age standing at the door each insisting that the other go first.

I should have gone the Catholic way, now it's too late, every Argentinian solid.

I expect the Falklands will be heading your way now that Argentina is controlling the Holy Roman Empire.

After the visit of the Argentinian foreign minister, I thought: well, it won't get more embarrassing than this for sure... :facepalm:

Since Roo's so enthusiastic, I think we should restart The Zimmers. However, MisClick is stuck in a cleft between two steep rocks somewhere in the U.S.A. and will probably not be able to hack her own arm off in time to manage the club. Since she's the only one who can do this, we'll have to play somewhere else. Fortunately, I created the imaginatively named 'JB's Club' so that I could get my arse handed to me on a plate in last year's PS HU tournament. Let's play there.

Club ID number: 895115
Invitation Code: jbpatzer123

I reckon it's too ageist just to restrict it to old farts. Anyone can join but I reserve the right to throw you out if

(1) I don't like the cut of your jib,
(2) You check-raise me too often when I cbet 98% of my range,
(3) You're no fun.

Joining the club does not guarantee you entry to the Skype channel, because not everyone can cope with Roo asking what the rules of 2-7 single draw are for the 17th time.

We usually start three or four nanostakes MTTs in various games at about 8pm and play until Vorpal sucks out in the final HU pot.

Anybody up for 8pm this Thursday?
