blonde poker forum

OK, we are almost ready.

Jen was last seen hob-nobbing with Paul Magriel, Robert HM is gonna help Jen for a few hours this evening, until I, errr, you know, "become available"......

Good luck to the blondes!

That Robert gets about a bit  8)

Hello!  The players are taking their seats (I have been told there are 117 runners although this will be confirmed).  Just sent Tikay downstairs as there's that "Disqualification if not in seat at beginning of first hand" chestnut to be avoided.

GL to Jen and robert, Usual good lucks please... Burnley John, Simon Nowab, Steve Walmsley... and all the blondites.

Not started yet - I have heard tell that there is a list of players on a wall somewhere. Going to pick out a few to give you some idea of the field.

On Tikay's table is the Camel, whom he is determined not to allow to run over them all... so he says.

OK heres a Question for Tikay/Jen If you miss the start and get disqualified, im sure you get youer money back... as its a 5k comp, what is to stop an internet qualifier who got in on the cheap, from deliberately missing the start and copping a 5k pay day ?

can u tell the worm gl plz from ian the kid and worm junior
and gl all the blondes

Good question Kev

so where is the updates then lol

I guess if it was an internet qualifier, the money would be returned to the poker site that he/she qualified for and they would probably keep it, very much doubt he/she would walk away with the cash

Sorry for the delay - the players are spread over three rooms - the card room, upstairs card room, and downstairs bar, so there's a little bit of a delay as we run back and forth.

Robert HM in his mastery of technology created a spreadsheet clearly laying out the prize structure. I hereby cut 'n' paste it from notepad for you:
1st   240,000   
   2nd   121730   
   3rd   69090   
   4th   39480   
   5th   26320   
   6th   23030   
   7th   19740   
   8th   16450   
   9th   13160   
   10th   6,000   
   11th   5,000   
   12th   5,000   

Dave Colclough, John Gale, Lawrence Gosney, Bambos, Carlo Citrone, Mickey Wernick are all sat at the same table.  Interesting.

Jen could you keep an eye out for the Irish players? I believe there are a few there. Stephen Dunphy and Paul Leckey should be there (probably both wearing Irish Poker Team shirts) and Peter Roche may be there.

thanks

Mike

This is not a full list, just a few per surname starting letter to get you going.

i think poker425.com are the only tv crew there

hi guys ..any one got the results of the omaha this week at the vic...............gl tk

please can you ask SIR Clive Sinclair to kick ass and win this then ask him if he has a spare speccy as i am needing a laptop next week

Alan Mclean (or Mclaine) won shar (brother of chicken joe )2nd done a dea 30k winner 23k 2nd

the table with dc an the worm is a joke that cud of been the final 6 lol

No sign of Stephen Dunphy on my list, which also has a Lekich but no Leckey.  Not definitive though - will look out for the logo.

Lucy Rokach was just in the process of winning a satellite into this event when I arrived - she went straight from that table to the start of this one. She is just impressive.

Jonathan Rabb reports from Tableside at Tikay's table that someone threw a purple 5000 chip in with a 100 thinking he was calling a bet of 200. They allowed him to retrieve his chip. He looked relieved.

what's the starting chip total jen 10K ps keep up the work  ;D

People are being most helpful here - TWO copies of that player list made their way into my little computer corner, just inside the velvet rope at the edge of the upstairs poker room. They have covered the back wall in a huge European Poker Championships banner, just so we remember what's going on. The people playing blackjack directly behind me don't seem in the slightest bit interested.

Starting chips 10k, blinds at 25 - 50, 90 min clock

Tikay "not looking happy" according to my scout Robert HM - holding up, when queried, three fingers, then five.  This May signify 3500 in chips, which would explain it.

Stuart Nash is sat next to Tony G; I am sat behind Simon Trumper.

nice slow start then if blinds 25/50 with 10k chips. The table with Dc Lawrence Gosney etc.... thats gotta be good viewing 8)

kick simon and tell him that for them damm 2s

Hi, can u tell me if there are any of the top americans there lederer, ivey etc. ? Thanks

Jen is lawrence Gosney still in? He told me he lasted only 12 mins in the 1k played earlier this week!

Hi Robert HM here, too lazy to log out and in again. No, special names from the States though Doyle Brunson is in the UK, he was at the Billingsgate Comp but I think knocked out yesterday, you would have thought he could have popped in here.

Jen's gone off to get a steak sandwich so you have me I'm afraid.

Lawrence still in, I'll go downstairs later and see if I can get a chip count.

Bad penny syndrome!

F. Deeb

looks like a top american to me

Did you have to mention a steak sandwich?  :P

Doh... in best Homer style. I didn't read the list I gave Jen, just going on who I can see. There are 3 areas of tables and some are inaccessable, having said that he is about 20 feet away...... he's a small bloke and easily missed ::)

(still Robert)

..... and all the trimmings no doubt.....

She got bored waiting and went for chip count walkabout, sandwich has arrived and no Jen..... offering odds on whether it is still here when she gets back.

1-8

Back to my earlier question (see page1 of this thread)  The online sites register you by your own name, when you get a draw, they pay YOU, not the internet site that you qualified from.

So it seems i have answered my own question ... there is nothing to stop an online qualifier, or indeed a sattelite qualifier from missing the start and getting a full 5k refund.

Walkabout over- here are some chip counts gleaned from downstairs -will do the other half when the five minute break over...

El Blondie  19,000
John Gale  9,025
Lawrence Gosney 14,100
Carlo Citrone     13,200
Simon Nowab     7,000
Joanne Liu      12,500
Lucy Rokach     13,000
Liam Flood      10,000
Tikay          7,000 (not as devastated as earlier reported)
The Camel      11,600
Surinder Sunar    4,650 (although very hard to tell as all his chips were mixed up when I was peering at them - could be 9,650)
David Benyamine  12,125
Paul Testud      7,125
Womble         9,600 (one hand played, apparently)

can i have a chip count on the worm plz (mik wernick)

Simon Trumper has 10,600, according to Robert HM who is a chip count natural. I foresee less wandering for myself than usual tonight....

Imraan Ladak whom we met in Paris told me that he was dealt pocket Jacks for the first three consecutive hands. He lost the first one and won the other two, but was coming out for a cigarette after that. Player quote "very strange."

cud we have a chip count on micky wernick plz he is on dc table

Well I would like to put my support behind Lawrence Gosney for being a top bloke
and Tikay to get a good draw for ( Services to POKER) Good luck to you both.
And Jenn you are a STAR.

Break over (they only got enough time to get halfway to the bathroom).

Story from Tikay - Sir Clive Sinclair holding A5 was up against a player with AQ. The flop came A high, Clive bet 1,000, was raised to 3,000, called. The turn was a rag, and Cllive checked and then flat called the 2,000 bet. On the river he called again and their Aces and kickers decided the hand. Odd.

Yes hotdog, he's still there but I am up here. Within ten minutes. (Couldn't see his chips when I was there and he was in a hand)...

ok jen tyvmuch

Must be a typo on the womble hand jen, if they have only been playing for 2 hours there is no way he has played a hand yet.

Russ, womble told me has loosened up, so 1 hand in 2 hours seems perfectly plausible ;)

Must have got aces earlier than usual, even womble struggles to pass them preflop (although if there is a raise and a reraise he probably would  ;D)

how many are they playing down to tonight?

can you let meknow how many chips Gareth Jones is on?

Robert just went to check on Mr. Wernick and stumbled across a very big hand...

Micky Wernick turns over a pair of queens to show a set on the river, winning a big pot. So big that he was still stacking it when he was asked for a count - he is on just over 15,000.

The guy who lost to that set then gets all-in preflop the VERY NEXT hand, against Lawrence Gosney. Guy actually has QQ this time, which beat Lawrence's A5 suited to send him OUT.

Out before him was Bambos, and there are a few other early exits.

can you ask "Chubbs" if i can have a quarter pounder with chips and a can of coke please :)

Other counts from the neglected upstairs:

Freddy Deeb     7,300
Simon Trumper   10,000
Mike Magee     11,400
Imraan Ladak     9,600
Neil Channing     9,850
Achilleas Kallakis   13,150
Davood Mehrmand 12,000
Burnley John     12,200

Just sent Jonathan and Robert to hunt Gareth Jones whom I must have overlooked, apologies.

Sure you don't want a steak sandwich, Kev?

Thanks to the steak sandwich talk a while back I have had to order a donner kebab to be delivered. Dont start with the burgers now kev.

Im sure the steak sarnies are better than the soggy hot dogs at the rio Jen.  :)

make sure its gareth "the real deal" jones u spot not the nugget jones

Just bumped into Womble who has played his second hand and now has 11,350. Quote "One hand an hour is enough."

thanks russ, im allready overweight, now i've had to order a kebab

With Womble, one hand an hour is a bloody miracle lol

r blue square offerin odd on this ?

Kebab devoured in one mouthfull, ready for updates now please Jenn. How are the party boys getting on?

party boys? is thats a new name for the boys from the pink flamingo

You swallow it whole ?

 :o

hehehehe ;)

can we get some updates for our friends in the north west on
Nice Dave Mayall
Simon Nowab
John Falconer
Steve Walmsley
Dave Clayton
and Simon Zack if he managed to get down there.

You have never seen russ whens hes hungry :P You would never think to look at my athletic almost anerexic body that I eat junk food.

also tim and pippa flanders (you might have to look face on for pippa she is disapearing fast)
manchester maurice alan maclean and that man with the lap dancers mick fletcher

(Robert)
Here's a hand just told to me by Simon Trumper:
Simon in the Big Blind. There is a raise to 500 and Martin De Knijff flat calls, Simon raises to 2100 and original raiser folds, Martin calls . Flop is 10 high, i.e. rags. Simon bets 7000 and Martin folds and shows Jacks!.... Simon shows his Queens. An inspired fold perhaps.

have you kicked simon for me yet

and say a hi to matilda (nice lady)

I think that for this years WSOP in vegas anyone who qualified via the internet had the payment sent direct from the poker site to the WSOP so i assume that if you pull out then the payment would get sent back to the poker company, of course if you won it then you would get the money. I hope i make some sense! :)

Jen back - here are some counts:

Firstly, the chip leader, ahead by a mile and a half is on Tikay's table, a gentleman by the name of Henry Nowakowski, who according to Tony is "hitting everything."

Probably close to the top of the next tier is El Blondie with 21,300

Also:
Carlo Citrone     9,400
Micky Wernick   18,000 (asked if he wanted to comment for you guys online, he said "I'll just bok myself and be out in five minutes.")
John Gale       8,000
Simon Nowab    4,725
Liam Flood      11,500
Lucy Rokach    11,025
Keith Hawkins   12,000
Tikay          6,000
John Shoreman   9,000
David Benyamine 16,000
Paul Testud     15,000
Greg Amoils     12,150

Different laws in the USA I believe.

You would just be anted away there. Here there is the "bums on seats" at the start rule.

Forgot to mention that this Henry Nowakowski has over 40,000.  Extraordinary.  I'll question Tikay in the break.

Jen my sweet pea may i please have a chip count on Ben Grundy thanks very much

how is channing getting on

Never mind that lot, how's sir clive doing

Story from Tikay - Sir Clive Sinclair holding A5 was up against a player with AQ.  The flop came A high, Clive bet 1,000, was raised to 3,000, called.  The turn was a rag, and Cllive checked and then flat called the 2,000 bet.  On the river he called again and their Aces and kickers decided the hand.  Odd.


this is total poker, he just got unlucky when he saw the 5

Ironside - no Maclean on the players list, nor Simon Zack. Will do the others for you in a couple of minutes.

No Ben Grundy on my list either I'm afraid, but I may have just missed him and will look anyway - you sure he's here?

Channing hadn't really got going when I spoke to him last, but just heading over there to get some fresh counts so I'll let you know what he lets me know.

according to Ben's blog its in his schedule http://milkybarkids.blogspot.com/

jen when tikay was on the phone just after the PLO alan said he was going for a break in hotel then playing tonight

the spelling might be a little off

Rob Yong says hello to Louise - "Good job I'm better in bed than I am at poker - I last longer" Sitting on just 3,000 at the moment, after a full house vs full house in which he came out on the wrong side.

Players on one of those super-short breaks at the moment

can u get me a chip count on Ali Malou plz,   tkx jen

Players on one of those super-short breaks at the moment

..and i thought my c5 joke was good  ::)

thats not what we heard from colchester kev

Is she happy with his shortstack though  ???

Oh god, dont make me do the "all in" jokes

They have definitely broken a table. I know this because I counted Greg Amoils' chips downstairs, and there he is upstairs right in front of me. This means that there are nine players at least out, with some very short stacks floating about.

Freddy Deeb    9,000
Simon Trumper 16,000
Imraan Ladak    5,840
Mike Magee    17,500
Greg Amoils    12,000
Neil Channing   1,950
Womble      11,075
Achilleas Kallakis 17,000
Burnley John   18,725
Peter Roche   12,000

Jonathan Rabb reports no sign of Gareth Jones but still working on it - when they break the other table in the main card room it will be easier to spot everybody. There is a G Jones on the list, though.

How many started, was it a sell out?

the gareth he is looking for is not the nugget its the real deal he won his seat on stan james

After the break, Rob Yong almost instantly doubled up and is now on a more comfortable 6k.

Tikay story from Robert (this is great, sitting here having tea while all the action is followed on my bahalf...)

On a flop of 10d Kd 4s with threeway preflop action, Matey 1 goes all-in for his last few thousand. Tikay dwells and then passes, having committed 1000 into the pot. Robert happens to see a K as his hand is mucked...
Matey 2 calls the all-in guy and shows top two pair vs. all-in guy's flush draw. The flush doesn't come and someone else is eliminated from that table of doom. Hopefully they'll be moved up here in a minute where I can keep a closer eye on them - sounds like there's more action downstairs.... air must be thin up here or something.

Rob is rarely short stacked for long   :)

always does seem more action downstairs

first twice i played the vic i was downstairs and action everywhere as table were broken

but they started putting me upstairs after that and it seemed very sedate

When I ask a question can you answer it quickly >:(

Dont you know who I am?

nope who are you?

I dunno, that was the question  ???

well in most quizes the questionmaster knows the answer

can i have a chip count on the worm wernick plz jen and wats the average

i have been told that mickey doesnt like being called the worm and as this is a friendly site can you please refrain from calling him that

ok sir ironside no problem cud i have a count though jen an average plz

no need to get sarcastic with the sir bit

we all have names we like and dont and its a players right to have his wishes respected

Tikay has been moved up here onto Burnley John and Peter Roche's table, with his 4,500 in chips...

He recounts one of many bad luck hands: Raising a bet of 500 on the turn to 1500 with the nut straight, he gets three callers (not what you want with two hearts showing). The river brings the pesky heart and there's a bet and two calls in front of him, making the pass unavoidable. He is shown one small flush and two sets! Could have been so good, that one. Not disheartened though.

Rob Yong has 8,000 now - if he can do it Tikay can too, I'm going to tell him.

Paul Zimbler     5,000
John Gale     12,000
El Blondie     28,500
Stuart Nash    12,000
Harry Demetriou 38,000 (having just knocked out Devilfish)
Mickey Wernick  15,000

Handbags!

anychance of Ali maulou's chip count plz?

ok i will call him the kid legend

Average chips must be around the 12 - 13k mark

Going to find Ali Malou, but he's not on the list either.

any word on the NW mob?

cmon the kid legend how many do they  play down to tonight

Chandra Khajuria 17,000

They are playing til 4am, I was told, which seems pretty harsh considering they're back at 3pm tomorrow whatever number they get to tonight

should be around 35 players left tonight then.  jen r u at luton next week

Most likely - probably in a semi-official capacity - might ditch updating and play one  :) 

i'd say 40 blonidite comp time

wohoooooooooo i just flopped a stright flush wheel in a PLO8 game

problem is even though it was raised preflop and the turn showed the board as A24d2s i still got no action on river

but showing it means that they aint calling my bluffs now

I was just informing someone that Harry Demetriou was near the chip leader with 40k, when they said "I have 59,000." This turned out to be Edward Moncada, who won the WSOP bracelet this year for the 2000 PLHE. He is indeed the chip leader, and is worth keeping an eye on...

Other chip news:

Imraan Ladak  6,500
Mike Magee   16,000
Greg Amoils   12,000
Achilleas Kallakis 9,300
Burnley John  8,225
Channing     2,100
Bruce Atkinson 15,000
Dan Alspach   13,400

Stuart Nash has been moved to Tikay's table with 16,000 in chips.

Scratch that - Tikay's "had a bit of an accident."  Looks like he'll be assisting, if I can wangle it.

more chip counts now u can go get them and tikay can keep us up 2 date

Tikay has left it to me to describe his exit - Attempting to get back in it he found AK on the button and raised Burnley John's 500 to 1500 and was called by John and Dan Alspach.  The flop came 9 5 5 and he went all-in when it was checked to him.  Sadly he was up against a pair of Tens and received no help.  Ah well.

There is a new table of doom - Nouri, Harry D, Liam Flood,  The Camel, Simon N, Smurfit, Mickey Wernick, Lucy Rokach.

Chip counts coming after players return from break, which is now.

grrrrrrrrr that big armo just went in a 80/20 shot via me and came out with a tie

got to stop playing these hands

not fair  :'(

wow, my 10% must have caused him his 1st non-cash in 5 tries, tikay I have your 10% w/ me, If i see you before I leave or in LA I will give it 2 u,

Thanks 2 everyone, I had a great time on this trip!

Take care everyone & Tikay, DC, Jen , Rhow and all the Blonde in the poker world.

You will hear from me soon as I yet shock the poker world as a single guy that takes down yet another major poker championship, stay tuned to blonde as they follow my path to poker stardom.

The "rookie" w/ an attitude

brian you do know there is a huge festival in luton next week

There are nine tables left - which means 81 players at highest estimate. 

whos wsopin06

can we have sum chip counts plz

Hey Jen, can you give Neil Channing a shoulder rub from me, :)
and tell him to get his arse in gear hehe

and Johns here at the slough palace :) 

I must take care of the now "x" in my life and then I will come out fighting, there is something to be said about a guy w/ his life in order and mine has not been since I won at the WSOP!!!! (and won a dream)

It just goes to show that with all that is great comes the wors. How you deal w/ this is a true judge of character, and I will WIN again w/ the positive attitude that I want to have w/ poker and life ;D

Can you believe Jackie said I had a negative attitude ??? Not to anyone that has read my posts on this forum ;D

wsopin06 is 'rookie with a bracelet' Brian Wilson who has been mixing it up on both shores of the Atlantic, taking down the pros and sporting a lovely blondepoker shirt or three. You will know him by his hair first and his Florida accent second.  That is entirely the positive attitude one would expect.  Go for it

Oi John you're not allowed to be off playing 6-card double flop while I'm in a corner watching hold'em!! Mel - take him to the cleaners.

Channing still holding fast to his three chips.  Counts are being gathered by Tikay as I write (their break was 20 min this time)

wsop is Brian Wilson, just a regular poker player that had a great day at the WSOP

Thanks Jen, let me know when you will be in Cali, Uncle and family out there so I bet I will be spending some time there.

YOU THE BEST, love ya, Brian

getting all mushy here less of the lovey dovey and get us some counts

sorry IRON, shit happens

Simon Trumper has been all the way down to 6k, and is now up to 26k after flopping a set of nines vs someone's top pair and flush draw.

Achilleas Kallakis went all-in blind and got a caller with a pair of 7s. He turned over K9clubs and hit - doubling him to 17k.

No-ones seen Ben Grundy all day, apologies.  I don't know how you missed Wernick, hotdog, he topped the list of counts and all...

Neil just barely in, Jo!  Nice to hear from you.

she just said he was on 14k

as long as I did not have a % of DC I would say he is at the right place at the right time ???

Good luck to him and all the Blonde still alive, off to Chicago to go to Ozz Fest, good to have good friends to pickup the parts of a tragic life! (so I paid for them to come to Vegas after I won, they owe me a good night)

now can we get more updates before i get involved again

Here are the chip counts for the upstairs, which now houses all but one table.  Heard floorperson saying there were 72 players left.

Simon Trumper  30k
Chandra Khajuria  27k
Mike Magee        6k
John Kabbaj       17k
Womble             8k
Channing           14k (!)

Greg Amoils        15k
Achilleas Kallakis   12.5k

And for all people who may be watching from Norway - Sverre Sundbo is here and with a reasonable 32k stack.  He says hi.

John Shipley 22k
Scott Fischman  22k

Joe Grech OUT.  Running short on chips he ran his JK into AK - but as usual it looks like the damage was done in an earlier hand...

Rob Yong    11k
Sonny Osman  15k
Dave Smith   16k
Neil Channing  15k
Womble      9.5k
Mickey Wernick 14.5k
Sverre Sundbo  36k

Only ten minutes to go here and time has just flown by.  Tried to get Tikay to go get some sleep but he was determined to race around counting chips, and was very surprised to find he only had a matter of minutes left today...

I have some badly taken photos which I am going to do my best to put on today, otherwise I am sure Rhowena's are better and she understands her camera a little better...

John Kabbaj falls asleep

Hey Jen, keep thinking you're in because I can see your sneakers. You'll be so proud of the time I've wasted on pokerstars! There's some great fish in the fridge, get it before the cat does

Rob Yong OUT - we saw him stand up a minute ago and when he started heading this way the news couldn't be good... says he lost 8 pots on the trot.

Dana hope you're winning, back in a bit.

***************************END OF DAY 1***********************************

The little blue baggies have come out and the counting and labelling has begun.  We will get final counts when they've been listed for us ;)

Nice comeback Neil!!!

J
x

OK, all the chips have been bagged, & the counts noted on sheets for each table. Brian is photocopying them for us, & we will post them in the next 10 or 15 minutes - may take a while, unless I can persuade Jen to input them. (tikay here...)

meanwhile if anyone wants to support me i am in a 50$ plo8 final 4 on stars and only one without support (chip lead too)

gl ironside, im watching, your doing quite well! ;D

Phew - that's the lot! See you tomorrow, 3pm. Blinds will start at 300- 600.

my $$$ is on DC, better player than any on his table, sick, ready, 1 good hand will put in at the final table. (and John Gale loves the Blonde poker guys)

we just chopped 1k each 342 to the winner

Ironside is keeping very quiet about his predicted number of players who would return for Day Two. He suggested 40. I have not counted them, but I suggest there may be one or two more than that.......

Oops, sorry, that last post was by me, not Jen. She would never have pointed that out to Ironside......

Blonde saying for day 2

JUST WIN BABY, JUST WIN

Try it, I happen to think it works ( I have a bracelet to back it up)

Good skill to all, luck just comes, just win DC, just win

Great job, Jen,Robert,Tikay,  good luck to "Chubbs" lets hope he isnt behind the counter flipping burgers too soon :) and if Burnley john can do miracles with that stack , then it will be Sir John of Burnley. And if womble plays a hand tomorrow they could all be in trouble !!!!

nice work folks and come on the worm!!

ifm i have been reliably inform that mickey objects to be called the worm so as blonde is a friendly place can we refrain from calling it here

GOOD LUCK MICKEY THE WORM

He doesnt, hes had that name for years. the only thing he doesnt like to be called is "EARLY "

maybe i need a new nickname, i like the worm, what about stealth or the butcher???

how about "surfing usa"

BRIAN BRACELET WILSON

Why are you awake so late Ironside?

i was playing a tourny got futher than i have been of late so had to stay up

now i am trying to wind down

u going to Luton/

depends on if i am going into hossie or not on tuesday i will find out monday

if i aint going in i will see if i can get acomidation and flight for the PLO on wednessday

ok, best of luck

Remind me (as Ironside has ignored my jibe....), how many players did Ironside say would be left in the tourney at the end of Day One.....?

Brian - have sent you an e-mail.

Who told you that Iron?

"Good vibrations" ?

Well done Jen on the posts:

It looks like the Blackpool Boys are on there way Good Luck Simon/John/Steve we may need to draft these guys into the Notts Team Now.
They all last to day 2!!!!!!

Morning all. We willl start a new thread for Day Two.

mark greenwood

Who is Mark Greenwood?
I bet Mick doesnt even know him.
Mick is and always will be known as the WORM.
We at least do know him and play at the same club day in , day out.

more info on that in todays updates

seems that mark was right the that the term is derrogotory (fk i cant spell)

Just cause Mick was probably moaning or grumbling, dont take any notice of that.
He wouldnt be the same Micky if he wasnt.
Ask him. hes been called a lot worse than the WORM. Hes grateful of being called that.

if he dont like it then its not fair to call him it here
if you want to call it to him face to face then fine

but surely as this is a friendly site if a person doesnt like being called something then they shouldnt be called it

if i took objection to being called a sweaty sock i would hope people wouldnt call me it on here

they could to my face and i would deal with that in a moan or whatever but
we try to make this forum a none aggro forum

That is what Im saying, I cant believe he would take offence to it.
Going back, who is Mark Greenwood?

mark greenwood otherwise know as the chaser

i think Craig is saying that he (Mick) doesn't take offence at the name, and if you look at the last (or one of) realshady's posts (Ash Pervais) he describes Mick as a lifelong friend and refers to him as the worm.
I have heard it called him many many times, even shouted across the cardroom and he never seemed putout, though i'm far too respectful of his highness to call it him to his face ;D
BTW Craig is a good pal of his too

what we could do is send in blondes own lawyer and ask him

robert hm dont worry if he hits you you can sue

Somehow I feel strangely comforted by that assurance
