Nowadays Ladies Seem To Be Taking The Lead When Playing Poker (Part 2)
Sunday, August 22nd, 2010It Would Seem Ladies Are Taking The Lead In Poker Games (Part 1)
Friday, August 20th, 20102010 is definitely seeing the women take the lead early on, and as we get closers to mid-year you might wonder if the boys will ever be able to catch up.

She can always join in with Internet Poker and perhaps have a game of PKR Poker, or Everest Poker

Egypt-Why Go There?
Wednesday, March 10th, 2010There are of course many reasons why you should seriously consider going on one of those world famous Egypt holidays. I got together with a couple of friends to go diving in Egypt just for a change to the usual drinking vacation. Egypt is actually a good place to go diving or snorkeling and this is because of the amazing wildlife it has to offer, this is where I learn to dive. (more…)
