Love...Love will tear us apart...again

1981, Joy Division...if not my favourite all time song , definitely a dessert island disc.
Last night I went off to bed about midnight and switched on to find this little 2 hour documentary on 'Factory' records label from Manchester and the whole story from Joy Division thru to the creation of the Hacienda nightclub and onto Happy Mondays....My generation totally. Completely absorbing and some great sound clips and interviews. The tragic story of lead singer Ian Wilson and his slide towards suicide and the way New Order was kindled out of the ashes was great.
Funny story along the way was how Ian had gone to the Doctors to be diagnosed with severe epilepsy. The Doc turned to him and said " you need to get plenty of sleep, no late nights. Avoid Loud Music and Flashing lights, and keep away from alcohol and drugs." " What do you do for a living?" , To which he got the reply " I am lead singer in a Punk Rock band! " LOL Brilliant.
Also told how New Order became the first band to play LIVE on Top of the Pops, and how there sales actually went down because they sounded so awful. And then after the show Bono of U2 said "hey man i really respect you for doing that, I wish we'd done it too". To which the whole band replied " well why the fuck didn't you !"

As for the Poker, not much to report on really. I've kept earning the MPPs but will need to speed up a bit to get the bonus before the end of the month. Tried to satellite into the European Deepstack Omaha tourney last night on Blue Square , but played like a girl. Folded my BB when I only had <4 BB left and had K9. Pussy play as there were only 2 seats available , I would have lost anyway but thats not the point, i had a couple of chances to push first in , but bottled it because of weak cards. Need to have a more cavalier attitude in these sats with few prizes
Have come 3rd and 6th in two Om8 tourneys both about 150 runners , which makes 3 final tables on the run in Omaha, but not a great cash reward as only $5 and $10 buyins.
Anyway off to play live in town at a new venue for us around with Sneaks, dont know what it is , but cash games after are supposed to be a bit loose ~MMMmmmm. And tomorrow off to Blackpool 'G' with Honeymonster to play in their £50 (+1rb/addon) which has all the makings of a good tourney.

Live Play, cant beat it, deal 'em good !
