Was wondering if anyone else thinks like this....
went up west end with missus on sunday to do bit of shopping, could not find a parking space anywhere so went to underground car park, havent parked there before but thought the amount they charged ridiculous, cant remember exactly how much it was but for 2-3 hrs prob about £20 at least. this annoyed me as i know u can park on yellows for free on sunday if u can find a space, so i decided to drive round and look for a free space, after about half hour and some moaning from her i found a space......
Yes i know im a tight **** but it just got me thinking, i will happily throw 100s back and forward at a cash table and dont mind paying 100, 200 on a tourney entry, but the thought of paying 20 quid to park my car gives me a sleepless night.......

My Dad's the best, think nothing of doing £500 on the horses then go in the supermarket looking for best buy on bake beans he can find.
Quote I once heard at the table...
"The best thing about poker is that afterwards everything else seems cheap".

I would go to a fair effort to avoid paying £20 for a couple of hours parking tbh. Although I get free parking when I go in to town, anywhere else I pay if it is reasonable, if not I find places to park on the public highway that do not comply with the law and contest any ticket. I'd say 1 in 20 places are non compliant.
On any normal day £20 to park in west london prob aint expensive, but i knew sunday u could park for free, to be honest it would of been worth it to save an extra half hour driving round and the moaning...
I just think its crazy how me and probably most poker players think away from the table the money seems more important....

away from the table money buys you stuff
on the table all it gives you is a temporary high (when you expect to win anyway) or a massive feeling of disappointment and shame.
