Pinned.
Went out on the driving range for a bit of golf. Practiced with the 7 iron & putting, need to work on my driving before I can start thinking about taking on a course. Hitting around the 75-90 mark atm so not great, but I've only been doing this for like 2 weeks.
Came back home, started watching the Hunt for Red October. Sean Connery, 1990. Great film. Went out for poker at a local pub around 8sh. Ended up wasting 3 £10 buy-ins cause I had shit luck. 2 pair A J was beaten by a straight on the river, trip Ks was beaten by an A-high flush on the river... was absolute crap. Didn't stay for a cash game.
Slightly intoxicated, went out to a takeaway around 11 to buy a cheeseburger and onion rings. On the way home, some guy stops me and says he'll give me £2 if I take a plastic bag with some box inside it into a nearby pub (one of our locals actually). I reluctantly agree, and go in hoping it's not a bomb or something. Turns out it was a tape recorder filled with cigarette butts (the fuck????) and he's just some random weirdo who got barred. I ended up having a couple more drinks and talking to some guy about the difference between RAM and ROM. Went home, KBed Randy from the IRC a few times, ate the burger & onion rings, finished watching the film, and went to sleep.
Decent day.
