[tikay]

Don't Elevenerife me Mr Prew.

Check the index, I'm in there somewhere I'm told. Under "Mug" I expect.

That el blonde comment wasnt in Inside Edge was it???

You got it my friend. What the hell it had to do with me I'll never know, but he verbally berated me big time, he was livid.

It had nothing to do with you in the slightest. Do you remeber what it was or shall i quote it? I have the magazine.

I think I was referred to as "one of the most astute observers of the Poker scene". Is the book Fact or Fiction?.....

It the most petty thing ever:-

elblondie- "Right now, I'm making ten or 12 final tables, and i dont think im playing my best game. I'm the most overrated player in the UK. If there are two players in the UK that are vastly overrated it's me and the Devilfish" he remarks.

Then the journo makes a little comment saying "He's at least half wrong there".

I think thats it anyway. Pathetic!

Book reviews are difficult for me due to time constraints and the fact that I'm not reading as many as I used to.

I have read the book, but it was a while back now and I fear I it needs to fresh in my mind to come up with a decent account.

Therefore, if anyone fancies writing a review for this, or any other for that matter, book on poker, then please let me know as I genuinely wish to build up this section.

i am hoping to set up a small site in the next couple of months, purely run by myself, to aid beginner players with reviews of poker books and poker sites. And links to poker shops and hotels around the major venues. So maybe i will be able to copy my reviews over to blonde. Am hoping to open affiliate links with the poker sites to keep the site up and running. As i have learnt thru my research its not that cheap to maintain a site!!!

That's the piece. It was totally self-deprecating by El Blondie, almost poking fun at himself, & Mr Ulliott got completely whooshed in my opinion. I said "tell Mr Colclough yourself", he said "he's your Partner, you tell him". At which point I made my exit. Peeps think that because they are better poker players than someone it makes them better people, which is of course utter nonsense.

Seconded, thank you.

Sounds like he's insecure to me.

Maybe in return i could get blondes to sign up for sites and hotels thru my site. 
Right after a bit of research tracked down the article. Its a good read anyway as its about el blondie, Mr Cool, Action, Chessa and Wernick. Good read.
