Extreme Poker Fun in Alton Towers

Theme parks, such as Alton Towers, are pretty fun places. But why not make them even more fun by playing a bit of Extreme Poker whilst your there? That's exactly what Seve did when he went to Alton Towers recently with his mates James and Phil. Here are a selection of photos taken during their visit.

Here's James contemplating his next move after the river card is dealt. This picture was taken on the Skyride jsut after departure from the Ug Land station. The "Ug Swinger" can be seen in the background through the window.

Here's Seve deciding what to do after the river card was dealt (see previous photo for what the community cards were). Seve ends up winning that hand with three of a kind 4s.


Here's Seve on the "Congo River Rapids" trying his hardest to concentrate on the game in hand whilst getting soaked from the water crashing over the sides of the raft.

A great thing about theme park rides is that the majority of them have on-ride photography facilities to take photos of the riders on their journey on-board the ride. Seve, James and Phil made full use of this facility to record their game of Extreme Poker whilst on-board the "Congo River Rapids". If you look closely, you will see that Phil has 7 4 of hearts.

Silly Balancing Toy Fun

Here is a picture of Dino playing poker whilst trying to balance on an "Indo-Board", which is kind of like a skateboard deck balancing on top of a big cylinder, the idea behind which is to try to help improve one's balance. Unfortunately, because this is only a still picture and not a video, we don't get to see what happened to Dino a few seconds after the photo was taken (a union between Dino and the ground if you were wondering).

Some Holiday Pics from Tenerife

Here are a selection of photos taken during a holiday to Tenerife in June 2006. Looking at the pictures, you may be thinking "that can't be Tenerife, it's not sunny". Well, that's exactly what we thought every single day that we were there, as the weather for the entire week was cloudy, rather than the scorching hot sunshine that one would expect there.
