well was out on saturday visting both grandparents, it's was my gran birthday who is 72 and my grandas who is now 81.So was visitng my mums side in the morning and then went over to my dads side in the afternoon.Me, my granda and my sister went over to park and played 18 holes putting which i managed to scrape a win at the end.So it was a good day

i have been playing a game on xbox recently which is a live game show on tv.They have now made it one on xbox, 1 vs 100.It is a gd game but i never got chosen to be in mob or be the one, am not sure if there is a certain way to get innit or not, i got a full game without getting a question wrong but still wasn't one of the top as you get more points as well for how much mob get wrong and how quick you answer and also your correct answer streak.But it's worth playing.

i played a free entry pro evo tourney yesterday which was good.Not as many as last few turned up due to people not having anything to play for now.in my group i managed to get 5 wins with 1 draw and 2 losses, it was a decent group as well with 2 top players.The top 8 in both leagues went through and my last 16 game i won comfotably 6-2 but ended up losing 1-0 in quarter finals to a goal in last couple of mins of the game.So i have been getting practice in for Grand Final, getting all set for that now.

poker has been going great recently, i played a uk bounty freeroll and came 2nd of a field of 879 players.The top 9 qualified for a the weekly final so i was one of them.I was happy with my play.I then went on to make back to back final tables as i didn't play until sunday which was the Bounty Weekly Final where i came 6th makin $45 which i was really pleased about.My poker has come on great in the last year.I plan to keep up the good work.Today at 3.00pm i am goig to have a little game with a 10 cent tourney on stars.I am then playing the 100k Guranteed on sunday 2nd August which i'm looking forward too.I have been reading the books and magazines on poker which has helped my game a lot.

So off to Manchester Friday then!

well bn pretty busy lately and not blogged in a while so thought i wud

well i have been back home for 2 weeks now after a holiday a Costa Brava which was okay, the Nou Camp stadium was one of the best bits of the holiday, very large ground.The pool was on rooftop which was very cool i thought, i prefer it being up there.The food i had was pretty disappointing not much to eat the full holiday.I managed to watch the tennis at a bar which was gd, i predicted Federer and i was correct.So i got back home on tuesday 7th July and it felt weird being back but quite a luxury when you get back as well.

Before i went i played a pes event at Brahead which i managed to get to the final.I had decent group, i managed to come back in a few games which i was losing to win and ended up winning 5 and drawing so didn't lose.i got a bye which was nice and played stevenymbo who i drew with before in another event, it was my favourite game of event cause i won on penalties and thought whoever won that 1 wud make it to the final, i then won 5-3 in extra time to a newcomer jamesbrown who was pretty good, he was 3-2 up and i equalised to bring to extra time which i went on til win.A few top players where in other side of knockout so i lost in final to jonnynelson 4-2.I played well and a little disappointed i didn't win but i made the Grand Finals because of it! I'm off next week to play in Grand Finals at Manchester, Old Trafford, which i am really looking forward too.Been starting to train for it and feel my game has been improving lately.Playing in a Glasgow event on Sunday as a warm up, so that should be fun.

The wsop main event has got down to 9 and Phil Ivey has made it as one the the 9, well done to Ivey on making it, shows now he is the best overall player in my opinion.The videos start coming out in a few weeks so that will be good.I'm going to watch the final table live on ESPN if possible.Can't wait!

Not played too much poker recently.Played a few weeks ago in a tourney online and qualified for uk and ireland 100k guranteed, it was pretty easy tourney to qualify considering i was one on the chip leaders.So that's on August the 2nd just when i get back from Manchester.I also played a couple of bounty player tourneys and a few on sky poker which iwon a small bit of money, i will start playing more again in a few weeks, just been having breaks.

Played the wii golf a few times and seem to have got better each time.I managed to get a 2 birdies and 1 eagle the other day on it which was pretty impressive so i'm starting to play that more.Really enjoyable game especially if you have a group playing it.I played singstar as well, just because my sister made me lol.It was songs i hated too.

Still watching Big Brother, there is loads up this week.Well everyone apart from Lisa and Rodrigo which will be interesting to see who gets voted out the house.I don't like these new housemates coming in i feel it ruins it a bit if they win or that.I still think Halfwit(Freddie) will win the whole thing.

apart from that just been chilling watching a couple of movies.I watched Borstal Boy which had Danny Dyer innit which was okay and American Hisstory X which was a great film.I had seen it before but forgot some of the parts in the movie.Edward Norton and Edward Furlong played the parts really good.it's been out for 11 years which suprised me, i never knew that.Very sad bits in the movie but had a really good meaning behind it.Same with Borstal Boy, it's about a teenage Republican going on a bombing mission from Ireland to Liverpool when he gets caught and goes to a Borstal and it's about his stay in there.I also played monoply last night which was really fun.I must have not played that game for a year or two, really enjoyed it though.I think i'm playing it tonite again.This afternoon i will probably just sit with my dog, watch a movie and do a workout later.
