Another brilliantly written essay, put me out of my misery and tell me creative writing and English was one of your academic strengths in a previous youthful life? Watched the complete Sopranos series only last Summer through the Sky On demand interface! The gambling intricate stories that weave through the series are informative and we can all somewhat relate to!

Tony Soprano also suffered losses and mood swings as he addressed his personal shrink, and betting instantly $10,000 on a 2/1 favourite in a horse trotting race “Meadow Gold” walking through the Casino lobby.

“Can we get some sound turned up over here”?

Paulie says “Da Boss has 10 gs on this one”, can you at least look a bit interested “?

Ha, I remember that! Tony’s addiction had no bounds: women, food, gambling. And if cashflow slowed down he could always find some new prey to extort!

I studied history at A level but beyond that I have no experience as a writer. I don’t pay attention to structure or grammar.

Whatever I feel inspired to talk about that week, I just get writing and aim to convey my thoughts as clearly as possible.

I’m chuffed you take the time to read my posts, it makes it worthwhile and inspires me to carry on!

Thank you for the support as always Shane.

I do agree with you there Shane, he certainly knows how to write engaging articles about the dullest dream we want to chase! Haha
