Title: New nickname for Mr Thew? Post by: The Camel on July 30, 2005, 01:21:50 AM I received an email from William Hill today titled "Take on the Gods of poker" Intrigued, I opened it.
I was somewhat shocked to be confronted by a huge black and white picture of the veritable Mr T!!! So, should he be renicknamed Julian "The God" Thew? Title: Re: New nickname for Mr Thew? Post by: RED-DOG on July 30, 2005, 01:23:48 AM Not got much choice now has he?
Title: Re: New nickname for Mr Thew? Post by: Robert HM on July 30, 2005, 01:25:56 AM So "The God" it is then
won't he be pleased when he wakes up to find he has been diefied. Title: Re: New nickname for Mr Thew? Post by: RED-DOG on July 30, 2005, 01:34:51 AM do you think Julian "Oh God" Thew is better?
Title: Re: New nickname for Mr Thew? Post by: TightEnd on July 30, 2005, 11:07:00 AM I prefer Julian "Sweet Jesus (he's got 7 2 off!)" Thew
but God is catchier...God it is Let us pray. Title: Re: New nickname for Mr Thew? Post by: AlrightJack on July 30, 2005, 11:17:14 AM Amen
Title: Re: New nickname for Mr Thew? Post by: julian on July 30, 2005, 12:07:47 PM steady on chaps,
was that picture really me? if so, i'm sure i was there to attract the 'gods of poker'...with only 8 internet qualifiers they need a few loose cannons in the field! Title: Re: New nickname for Mr Thew? Post by: ariston on July 30, 2005, 12:15:49 PM how about Julian "god awful heads up player" Thew? ;) How come all the best pictures of you are in black and white Julian ???

::) Title: Re: New nickname for Mr Thew? Post by: ariston on July 30, 2005, 02:03:07 PM I have a face for radio unfortunately Kar.
Title: Re: New nickname for Mr Thew? Post by: The_nun on July 30, 2005, 02:12:18 PM Looking at that piccy..How about ... Julian I need to hands for mine " Thew...
Title: Re: New nickname for Mr Thew? Post by: M POWER on July 30, 2005, 06:45:58 PM I've always thought this was a good one for Julian.
Julian "THE FINAL" Thew. As in, always in the Final few, Thew like a rhym Few I thought of this at the start of the year. and then March came.So I don't know what to think of now. Regards M Title: Re: New nickname for Mr Thew? Post by: Colchester Kev on July 30, 2005, 06:59:49 PM Due to Mr.Thew's uncanny ability to grab a piece of big money winners, I suggest..........
Julian "the percentage" Thew :) Title: Re: New nickname for Mr Thew? Post by: M POWER on July 30, 2005, 07:09:49 PM I have to disagree Julian swopped 2% with me in Vegas for the WSOP Main Event
and I let him down. I would of loved to of give him 20 large. Sorry Mate. regards M Prior to that I agreed to swop 5% with Karabiner ( I must of have banged my head) if only he said 9 ball i'd be a millionaire . regards M again Title: Re: New nickname for Mr Thew? Post by: Karabiner on July 31, 2005, 12:28:37 AM I really took a liberty there MPower.
I'm sure that I should have given you 10% for your 5%. ::) Title: Re: New nickname for Mr Thew? Post by: ariston on July 31, 2005, 08:16:42 AM Not sure of chip counts or anything but Blondite Womble has made todays final TV table in the celeb thing. Now I dont know if Yoyo has made it as well but I imagine they will have swapped a little percentage (they swapped in The Orleans main event which womble chopped with "at it" and roland). Maybe Julian "percentage" Thew is appropriate.
Title: Re: New nickname for Mr Thew? Post by: Junior Senior on July 31, 2005, 11:27:50 AM 'Yoyo' is still the most apt for his style of play. Nicknames are a strange thing - if you try and come up with one it never works and hardly ever sticks but when one develops over time and just emerges - thats when they are the best. Its like 'the camel' - everyone knows the camel, he is the camel and will forever be the camel. The same goes for 'burnley' john, elblondie, 'aces' trumper and of course Devilfish and many more that we recognise. - they all derive from a feature or a story.- and its never "oh, this bloke called it me once so i just took it" - they nearly always mean something.
Maybe we should just let nicknames develop and emerge rather than forcing them into existence. IMO Title: Re: New nickname for Mr Thew? Post by: RED-DOG on July 31, 2005, 11:53:43 AM Greg "Thats put an end to your fun" Hill

Title: Re: New nickname for Mr Thew? Post by: ariston on July 31, 2005, 12:24:07 PM I thought thats how nicknames started...someone calls you it once and it sticks. I know thats how I got mine and most people got theirs.
Title: Re: New nickname for Mr Thew? Post by: ifm on July 31, 2005, 01:22:10 PM there's a fella here in brum that gives players nicknames, he even invented devilfish!!
Steven Au Yeung is his name:- www.devilfishpoker.co.uk Title: Re: New nickname for Mr Thew? Post by: Karabiner on July 31, 2005, 01:56:00 PM There's another one who "invented" Yoyo, but he gets a bit protective of them.
I think his name is Greg ! ;) ;) ;) Title: Re: New nickname for Mr Thew? Post by: Junior Senior on July 31, 2005, 06:52:38 PM lol
sorry to be a killjoy. Title: Re: New nickname for Mr Thew? Post by: julian on July 31, 2005, 09:29:06 PM don't be worrying about a few percent john, my winners more than compensate for the losers!
ariston, i have no idea what HU match you refer to. any news on womble? Title: Re: New nickname for Mr Thew?

If the Yanks have got "Jesus" we should go one better and have God. Who better than Julian? He's God from now on as far as I'm concerned. Title: Re: New nickname for Mr Thew? Post by: ariston on July 31, 2005, 09:52:20 PM Im not going to remind you julian as that was the only win I had on my vegas adventure :-[ Dont know wether that reflects badly on me or you more.
Title: Re: New nickname for Mr Thew? Post by: wsopin07 on August 01, 2005, 05:10:08 PM Julian, I would like to suggest the following:
JULIAN" I don't play as good as Tikay" Thew! I think this would work very well in the general public, maybe even get you some more sponsorship money, and all kinds of sympathy from the other poker players you play against! Maybe? Title: Re: New nickname for Mr Thew? Post by: tikay on August 04, 2005, 01:14:24 PM Well I know for a FACT that Julian woul NEVER, NEVER EVER, pass TT to a RR from me. |
