Yes...

me too, I read it yesterday

no. but i will.

I don't think it's up to Tighty's usual standard TBH.

mustn't....post......obvious.......

lol!

Sorry Richard that seems a bit mean.

I just didn't enjoy this piece as much as I do your other stuff. I don't think your analogy works very well and I can't see any purpose to the article.

pretty much how I felt as well... seems a long winded way of saying almost nothing at all.

edit: thats more of a tribute to your previous articles rather then a condemnation of this one

no problem

Not a lot of point doing these things if you don't experiement with some different ideas and analogies.

It's his blog, if it serves him well to write it down that's his own choice.

Stream of conciousness kinda thing.

That's kinda the whole point of a blog, I thought.

and kind of the point of the article!

I dont think anyone is saying it isn't his right to post what he wishes.. but if a link to it is made in an open forum, I expect that link is there , in part, for people to discuss the article, and through discussion people speak honestly about their opinions regarding the article.

Tightend, you give me reason to go on! "Poker block" - thats a classic. I'm suffering from poker block right now. Thankfully its only been in the course of the last few days and 150 STTs and not three months worth, but still... Your words did bring a little comfort, and I might just try venturing out to play live - haven't been out since the blonde bash.

Well I liked his article. And I'm sure if just one person gets some enjoyment or comfort or takes at least something from the article, then its job done. IMO.

"You say it best, when you say nothing at all..."

I just think it's interesting that it was described as an article, and treated as one, when it's in fact someone's life commentary (in a blog's purest form, this is what it is).

If it was a front page "article", then comment in that manner - but not their thoughts...

Interesting how the perception of blog is now rather enmeshed with an article or similar written piece. Fascinating in fact the way formal and informal (such as blogs) pieces of writing are now melded together. Possibly a fault of the site in presenting them as such, but probably rather endemic all over the net.

I like how the forum isn't full of sychophants.

Honest feedback can be recieved, rather than just folk posting it was a great read etc.

It did have the feel of a bad wedding toast to it to begin with. "The Oxford dictionary defines marriage as......"

I did however, enjoy the anaology.

No-one told me there has to be a point to these articles, they're not all strategy pieces. I think a bit of musing is fine.

you are correct Heid, the mistake I made with it was going to blondepoker and looking at the front page where it says "latest articles" and seeing richards writing, and assuming that it was an article. An honest mistake that some people might make.

er, please don't argue over not so little ole me!

if you enjoyed it great, if not no problem


blog or article (and its a regular blog, with entries collated as such), i enjoy doing them...so you are stuck with em as long as the powers that be accept them

I LOVE how you like the way the forum isn't full of sycophants Tank, and well, yes I love that avatar of yours, teh way your posts make so much sense, and well, just you really :::beams:::::

Did you know you were a wonderful person?











:::::::turns off irony::::::::

it doesn't have to be a strategy piece to have a point, and my own personal opinion, which I think is ok to post , and which others wont agree with, is that if it doesn't really have a point, then its not much of an article/blog post/whatever the correct definition is. Nothing more, nothing less. Just an opinion.



I have thoroughly enjoyed all your previous ones, they have been really well written and informative/educational and worthy of multiple re-reads. I hope to have that pleasure with the future ones as well

ouch!

You try using a big word, and Heid just takes the piss. ::)

Back to words of one or tow syllamebobs for the rest of the day.  ;tk;

might I suggest 'brown nose' for future?

These women are incorrigible

Don't you start!

incidentally, I never knew what sycophant meant (had a vague idea) , so went to look it up and got the following:

According to ancient authorities, the word (derived by them from συκο suko, "fig", and φανης fanēs, "to show") meant one who informed against another for exporting figs (which was forbidden by law) or for stealing the fruit of the sacred fig-trees

you learn something new every day

HOLLA ;tk;

Although in our language, a sycophant is someone who continually compliments those in positions of power in order to curry favour.

exactly, ifm for example

I think the article is excellent.

See, now we don't even know if MrMoves is being serious or ironic.

The harm you've caused Heid ::)

Which blondepoker do you read?!?!

For once, I'm not taking the piss.

I'm a reformed character.   ;angelic;

I don't why this can't be described as an article. To me, it's a write-up on a specific topic in poker. I have placed it in our 'tips and advice' section because I feel it offers advice on an in issue that we have all enocuntered at one point or another.

Personally and truthly, I enjoyed it, if only for the excellent way in which Tighty writes.

True, the analogy could be deemed as somewhat of a stretch by some, but, for me, that doesn't detract from the fact that it was a very enjoyable read.

What, there's more than 1?! Let's sue!!!

I'd much rather read something controversial than something everyone will just accept in a uniform manner, thereby leading to a tedious flattery thread.

Well done Tighty, you achieved this, you are great!

Isn't he great, everyone?

tikka :)

thats my fave favour!

I'm sure I read somewhere that blonde is populated by 'bed wetting arse lickers'........

damn............looks like rain again

Don't forget the colluding  ;tk;

lmao

Which magazine never liked blonde....

busty brunettes monthly?

ebony

LOL very good!
