London

Just back from London. This month trip took me to London and i can`t say i was disappointed. I managed to find 2 dirty wheels and played them both. The profit kept the lawn green as they say. This time a little greener than normally.

During my tracking i came across an old friend i hadn`t seen since the Holland days. I was standing next to him for 1/2 an hour before we both realized we knew each other, amazing what a change from pony tail hair to skin head does to a mans appearance. The quote Kaisan usually presents: "Wheelwatchers will in nature always meet at the same tables", was in this case correct.

We had a drink at the "Ice bar" at the Galla casino in Tottenham Court Road casino which apparently has opened for 24 hours a day. Later when we enjoyed a nicely cooled Chablis while waiting for the main course at a french restaurant, i learned that life had been hard on the rest of his crew members. But as i learned and saw, he was still managing. We had at one point a closer look at the casino in Bayswater, but i gotta say, thats a no go. They have put screens with max/min bets right in frront of the wheels which makes it impossible to get a good view.

I also think i might need glasses sometimes in the near future, the dealer overheard me saying that i had trouble reading the red numbers and she said; "Don`t worry, you can always find them on the board after the spin"..... Well, thanks a lot, can i still place my bet then .......?

I didn`t manage to meet everybody i had planned, since the play took the better of me. The Tube was on strike on Friday when i had just arrived which makes getting around in inner London extremely slowly.
