Like I said: I knew this would not be appreciated... I've now been called a liar and manipulative.. Oh wait he's called me that before lol... In texts to someone we both know... Nice!!
Now it's Facebook that is the choice to air his views to the people that he considers as his friends...
At least I've shown you what I felt, thought and what was my side of the story...
Anybody can read this, it's not that difficult to google... ;-)
This is what was said about me:
************************************************************************************
I've just been copied on a quite astonishing public attack on me on facebook from Shirley. I'll not say it's all lies because she's too clever for that but it's about as close as you can possibly get - so many carefully chose...n words with glaring omissions, some complete fantasies, many innacurracies and in summary it's totally manipulative and misleading..... see comments for more....
This is my personal space for my friends and the event at the weekend is where we and the team have a professional job to do, as we always do, so I'm not going to get drawn into this nonsense any further.
************************************************************************************
The only reason it was on Facebook is because my blog comes up there as a note... Well at least he calls me clever ;-)
After this message I was really considering posting the emails of the past 5 months on here but do I really want to get it all out?
No not really...
First of all... I just want to move on because it's not worth it....
Second, I still consider most of the committee as my friends and do not want to drag them into this...
Third, there's worse things in life!!!
I know how I feel and I got it out.. And I'll bet you it will come out quite a lot more this weekend...
But after this weekend I'm ready for big plans next year!!!
I've got at least 8 events planned!!! Looking forward to it.. And got at least 2 trips planned which require me to fly more than 3 hours for once... Hopefully one of them can be announced end of November and the other one in December....
Things are still looking good and I'm happier than I was a few months ago!!! I've learned from one of the biggest mistakes I've made ever in my life but it got me at the place I am now.. And I like it here...
Flat's nice, flatmates are nice, work's good, colleagues are great. I love London!!!
OK got to start packing now... Vodka is already in the suitcase.. Just need to pack the rest...
Will be taking the laptop with me so updates will come this weekend if I'm not too drunk ;-)
XXX
All my love to the majority of you people!!!

The truth....
I've been so busy and things have been kicking off so couldn't really be bothered writing loads of stuff...
So I'm "leaving" GB9...
The real story:
After I split up with Lee, all we could do is argue. About every little thing. This was not good for the tour, my health and all the other stuff... I had to leave his house and Barnsley.
I found a new job, room, flatmates and friends... It was stressful to move to a whole new city but I was up for the challenge... Unfortunately Lee had to keep calling or texting or emailing me every day... Tried to say that I would appreciate it if he would give me some space...
There's a reason we split up!!!
The running of GB9 only gave me more stress because that meant I had to keep in touch with him, which I rather didn't... At GB9 Shepherds Bush we did not get on and I started to think of the future. We couldn't keep on going like we were. Think everyone that was there noticed it wasn't going well. I told some of the committee members what I was thinking and that I wasn't sure what to do next year. Especially with trying to combine it with my full-time job. I got told that Lee was stepping down anyways so things would get better.
Unfortunately the arguments with Lee kept continuing and I was getting more and more stressed out. Then I got some bad news about my mum and I got sick myself. I asked a committee member to email around that I would not be available for a while so I could sort things out, but some person just kept on calling, emailing and texting me. I had had enough and decided to quit GB9 a week before Solihull.
I know it wasn't great timing but I just could not handle it anymore. A committee member then asked me to reconsider or at least stay till the end of the year.... After thinking and cooling down I decided to do this. Solihull comes and I really enjoyed running the tournament again. I wasn't as stressed out as I normally am but I realised why... It was because a certain person wasn't there... It really helped. The tournament ran well, early even and everything went as good as it could, seeing I forgot my charger for the laptop. Thanks again Mr Lim for letting me use your charger.
Day after Solihull I got asked to send loads of stuff over via email to Lee, asked him why and got told I wasn't needed anymore. I was not impressed because if they/he had told me this in advance I would have been able to say bye to everyone in Solihull and announced in a proper way. I emailed the committee to tell them I was just told this but apparently not everyone knew about his decision. Things were being said back and forth and eventually they decided that Lee would become the TD for Barnsley and 2010.
I got 2 options:
1. I come down on the Friday, work till the Saturday afternoon, get a small presentation and £150, train and hotel expenses paid.
2. I come down on the Saturday, not work, get the presentation, £100 and the train and hotel expenses paid.
But.... I had to come to an agreement about my reasons for leaving GB9.
Sorry but I couldn't. I can understand that they want to keep the tour in a good daylight but I can't agree to something I don't agree with..
So this is my side of the story... The will probably see a different side, but that's the point of sides right? Everyone sees things how they want to see it. I could copy loads of the emails from both sides, but I don't want this to become a war.. There's no point... It's not worth it. I have spend my last 2 1/2 years working on this tour for not much money, but for the love of the sport. But there comes a time in life when you have to start thinking of yourself!
It's a shame... I was talking to a big sponsor regarding a deal for £100000 over 5 years but it was a combined deal of a national tour with me as a TD... Trying to convince them to give me less with some smaller events but it's not as much of an attraction... Got some opportunities coming up that I'm thinking of doing because I suddenly have an extra 24 holidays for next year...
Friday I'm off to the GB9 in Barnsley to say hi to my old friends from when I lived there... And to say bye to some of the poolplayers of GB9... I'll still see some of them at the MBO events and maybe even at one of the other events that are coming up. I'm not done with the poolworld yet but the pokerworld is nice too ;-) Just don't expect GB9 to do much for me after this post! lol
Love you all!!! (except some!)
