Well a couple of weeks ago there was a thread where people were saying that they have started using Poker lingo in normal conversation, I did a clanger this morning. On my way into work, being late as usual i flew through a set of Traffic lights which were Amber going onto Red. Needless to say there was a Motor Bike cop on hand to pull me over. He said that I broke the Lights, to which I replied (to my shame) "The light was amber and I was pot committed" instead of I was committed. He gave me the look of utter confusion, gave me a good telling off and stern warning and sent me on my way. I felt like a complete t*t and have decided that im going to have to take up another hobby!!!!!

Since I started playing poker I cannot avoid stacking coins up and moving them in groups as I count them and pay for stuff like papers or sweets in garages etc. Theres that slight tingle of excitment when you move your "stack" towards the worker but the odds for winning are very, very poor.

Very funny! You weren't perchance going down the quays were you?

No I was going down Violet Hill Road (i think) Where you go left for Royal Oak Pub and if you go right you are heading towards Tesco and Glasnevin Cemetry. Swung left then accross the finglas Road to go Right up Ballybogan Road. The lights were red and thats where he caught up to me. Tap tap on Window, followed by biggest Redner ever. Only thing that saved me is that he couldn't get the car off the main road easily. Got a severe giving out to though. I was still laughing when i got into work, but needless to say no-one plays cards so I couldn't tell the story. Fecking blessed not to get a ticket. Im going to have to get out of bed when alarm goes off instead of pressing the snooooooze button. I have even given up playing cards during week nights so i can make it into work on time.
