@Manu: a few minutes 
I made it!!!
the car stopped 4 times in the first 8 miles and I was really dreading the rest of the journey. Then I had a long stretch of almost 35 miles with no issue until a new problem arose.
The car started shaking as if the back suspensions had completely gone. FML.... I stopped again at a service station to give the car a break. came back in after 10 minutes and went on my journey.
The car started shaking again.... I made it to the next service station 11 miles down the road and decided to stop for a further 20 minutes and have a bit of food. I got back on the road and the car was still shaking like hell. I was about half through the journey and decided that I had to get on with it and keep going. It shook for about 15 miles and then stopped shaking and kept on going till my destination with no issue whatsoever. So here I am in Bristol, alive and kicking.
I am going out with friends tomorrow and Wednesday night and living for France after work on Thursday. So today is my only poker day for the week.

what happens in Paris, stays in Paris

Bah, no pics of Paris for the gang then. Foiled again.
there wont be much sight seen anyway
I am back from France. I had an amazing time and as planned I got wasted for the largest part of the stay. I am also shattered as I arrived back in Bristol at 4AM and got to work on time this morning, so I will have a relaxing evening and no poker until tomorrow.
this music seems to be going crazy in France ATM
I had an early night yesterday and decided not to play any poker. Instead I watched a few episodes of Samurai Champloo. One word: epic.
Tonight back to grinding and back at NL10 after the withdrawal
gogogo!
I ran bad a bit more yesterday + rake is so damn high at NL10.
I am just about on track to do the 20k hands this month.
I definitely wont be reaching NL100 by the end of september.
As for the status up promotion, I will have to play every day till the end of the month to get the status up promo and the extra $. We will have to see about that as I don't have as much motivation to play NL10. On the other hands players are so bad and I am still losing after 2 sessions. ♦

Patience will win the day thazar, you will get there.
lol I am not worried
I am really enjoying Samurai Champloo. Really good anime, good music, artistic drawing, brilliant humour, thumbs up for me (just dont watch it dubbed )
good thing about playing NL10 is the mindset, completely unaffected by losses or wins. Well is it a good thing really? because in fact I get affected by the money aspect of it which just means I have a poor mindset.
I expect to be back at NL25 before end of August. (finger crossed) and see from there... NL100 end of year? this should be possible even running the way I have been, providing the wife does not decide to go on a shopping spree and the daughter on a booze trip!
I left my number one daughter by the way in France with her Granma for a couple of weeks of a change of air, a bit of French language learning and some great food.
I am in plymouth for the weekend and have loads of stuff to sort out...
washing machine is dead, both cars are dead fml :).
I need to sort out collecting my daughter from france next weekend and if I got time a bit of diy on the house.
planning 1h of poker daily to reach the status up promo and get an extra $20 rakeback.
