I went to visit my cheapskate mate last week. We were working on some stuff when the doorbell ran. A local peasant wench, along with her bloated husband, began laying on a load of abuse. And while my buddy tried the calm the situation, the peasants just wouldn't relent. I was rather concerned that the local Taleban branch was about to get shut down permanently, and was preparing to call the police. But just when it looked like the male peasant was about to lamp my buddy, the wench decided to attempt some moral superiority and told her man that it wasn't worth it. What a bloody cliche.

Anyway, my cheapskate mate wasn't too impressed with the situation. As well as paying for the peasants' satellite dishes and beer, via his annual six figure tax bill, and having to put up with the smell of burned out cars every now and then, he now has had to tolerate a barrage of verbal (and almost physical) abuse.

I asked why he didn't try moving to a more civilised area of town. But the only place that he'd like to move to is Chelsea, where the toff totty is abundant. Alas, being a wheeler dealer, he's unable to get a mortgage, and it's therefore going to take him a few more years to save up for that dream pad.

This reminded me of a property market article that I read last week in The Metro (click here to read it). Dr John Bone has warned that British society risks dividing into two tiers. With one lucky sector living off unearned income derived from the earned income of others. I know a lot of people who have been saying this for years, but I guess it takes someone with a Phd to say anything before the media notices.

Just to keep this post on the topic of Poker, it's the 11th Brit Blogger Tourney tonight. click here for details. I should be in attendance and will try to play more tight-aggressively tonight. I've backed down from far too many hands. But having said that, I made a donkey move last night. Making a small re-raise with AA when two people had raised. I should have gone for the all in move to achieve more fold equity. SMT SMT. Tan still appears to be enjoying unlimited amounts of luck, so I'll have to use Poker Office to analyse his moves and put him on tilt.
