Last week I made a decision to buy an iPod touch, and I decided to fund this decision through the means of winning at poker. An iPod touch over here costs £280 or just under $400, so I sat at my computer and fired up 8 tables of 50NL and decided to sit there until I'd won enough to buy one.

I gave up after five minutes, jumped on a bus into the city and bought the fvcking thing anyway. Feeling all 'web 2.0' I installed loads of applications including this new-fangled contraption called Twitter and duly began adding various celebrities of varying alphabetical status, which I gather is what one is supposed to do on Twitter so we know when Stephen Fry is about to brush his teeth, and so on.

As a result of all this I somehow ended up today in a $30 STT with Graham Linehan, creator of one of the best British comedies of all time, Father Ted. To any Americans reading, the avatar 'Mrs. Doyle' is not referencing who you think it is.



I bubbled.
