First Blog

So, everyone else in the Poker Community i've met at Punterslounge.com has a blog so it's about time i started one. I look forward to bringing you (whoever you may be that is reading this) the latest exploits of mine, not just in my own World of Poker but also the rest of the big wide world.

So where to start? Well for those of you who don't know, before Christmas i was working as a temp in a sausage factory. Yes hilarious it may sound but i needed the money. You may question why someone who has a decent degree (2:2) ends up working in a sausage factory. Well a) i havent quite figured out what i want to do for my career and b) i really needed the money. The money for winning the Maxim King of Poker in 2006 has run out and needed to get some from somewhere.

So what is it like to work in a sausage factory you may ask? Well in one word, horrible!!It was not only for the fact that we were packing sausages or wrapping pigs in blankets (wrapping sausages in bacon if you didnt know) for eight hours a day but the fact that it was repetitive, smelly and also over 50% of employees didn't speak very good English. The fact that the majority of people didnt speak English meant that there wasnt much chat between the workers, well except when something went drastically wrong, which in itself made the eight hour shifts seem like days. Well that temporary job is over and done with and hopefully looking to get something permanent in the next day or two (got a phone call to make tomorrow about a possible job in Cheshire). Anyway enough for now will post again soon.
