Summer of Fun



Ah, June, the finest month of the year! Named after the Roman goddess Juno, noble wife of Jupiter and proud mother of Mars and Vulcan, it is also the month of the longest daylight hours in the Northern Hemisphere but today the sun shines for one very special character: it is Donald Duck's birthday! The legendary leader of the Quack Pack is still waddling away at 74.


We raise our wings.


It is possible that the Korona Casino in Slovenia ended its Summer of Fun poker tournament yesterday as they didn't want to clash with any celebrations to mark the University of Oregon's mascot's birthday: we respect that.


They might have surmised that on such a momentous day, players may be distracted and lose their focus. We are sure that Italian Francesco Spinelli, winner of the EURO500 and ecstatic recipient of a cheque for EURO 7,808, will be grateful that his Hold 'em game was not subject to any ruffled feathers.
