blonde poker forum

Hello all as you know i didnt make it to bb3 and am now wondering if anyone knows when bb4 will be not looking for an exact date as i know i wont get that just wonderd

Tikay mentioned early next year I think

ok thanks m8

January looks favourite.

And it's in London

100-ish days ;D

Thought BB4 was gonna be at DTD?

DTD isn't likely to be open until April '07.

BB4 It's definitely London

All being well, bB5 will be at DtD. You don't want to wait till April or May, do you?

London!!!!!???

What a joke. Looks like I shall be homeless for the weekend again :) Unless I can find a friendly blondites home to crash in. Or a car. :D

A venue has NOT been decided. London is, while desirable for many, "difficult" for many reasons.

I have a feeling it may go to Brighton, The Rendezvous has a nice new spacious (dedicated) card room, with it's own bar  :D, ground floor also so fine for Iron and Eric. Hotel very close and nice bars etc all close by.

Not that I'm bias though.....

Guaranteed Brighton  :)up

Brighton :o

What happend to Woolwich, we've got a town hall and everything :dontask: ;D

As a matter of interest Mr Bolt Sir, where would you like it to be? Just so's we got a clue, like?

I might be moving around so that could be a bit tricky...

What about if you get everything else other than the venue sorted and I'll let you know where im living about a week before hand? ;D

Noooo, it HAS to be Brighton, at BB3 we even sorted out getting Iron from Gatwick to the casino (I'm taxi lady for the day) so that's it, all sorted!!!

wohooo alone in a car with ginger and her pigtails

LOL, and memories of Jodie Foster. My my she was VERY friendly!

Not IN the car - behind the car. On a tow-rope.

Surely it's downhill all the way from Gatwick to Brighton - Ironside only needs a life on the way home.

surely i need a life or there is no point going

 rotflmfao


The sensible choice is Brighton, although we may have to time it for when Paul Parker is on his next holiday....

Pfft, blooming typos. I meant 'lift' - no point editing it now...

Brighton. I could live with that. Its like Blackpool, with lots of southern accents and slighty more weird looking people. And less Jocks. And no tower.

Been nearly 10 years since I was last there. Guessing not much has changed. Is that club on the seafront (which one? LOL.. the one down the steps on the prom) still full of slappers?

If its Brighton im sure I could find somewhere to stay lol

Im sure there are plenty of men in brighton that would put u up for the night   :D

It's definitely London

i heard a rumour that it might be on a cruise ship round the orkney isles

That starts and ends in London right?

Llanfair y Muallt is nice in January, the lack of a cardroom might go against though

Brighton would be good, it's not too far there for me.

I like Brighton :)

My pockets don't like January though :(

It might be in London

Yeah January isn't a great month for money.
lol @ Bolt :D

London works for me too, in fact, it's easier than Brighton.

for all those that fancy london please show us a casino with a 200+ player cardroom and access for all who wouldnt mind giving it to blonde for the day along with a decent hotel close by that offer rooms at under 100 per night

otherwise my vote goes to the cruise option round the shetland isle

go on Bolt - you like a challenge!

I've already begun the investigation which has led me to a fitting venue which i believe fits all the requirements specified by Ironside and more!!

Its a London based location that ive negotiated to rent at a very competitive price(a friend of the familly has the deed to the property).

This is 100% genuine and i think it should be considerd, he's sending over a pic and i'll add all requisit specifications reagarding capacity and cost after getting a feel for wether or not you guys would think it feasable......................

The new cardroom in London seats 400 IIRC. Also The Big Slick was ruled out last time because they are linked to some poker site but Betfair had a night there so if they allowed that why not Blonde?

Did i mention its in London?

(http://www.mhennessy.f9.co.uk/shed/shed.jpg)

100% genuine....I believed you for a minute too

The Loose Cannon


But Brighton's cool for me too.

Why cant i add a London poll? and why Isnt the garage tune: "Its a London thing on youtube"?
and where the f**k is my betting shop pen that ive had for four months?

It's not a question of "allowed"....!

I must be stupid then, sorry I don't understand.

Your Post suggests Betfair were "allowed" to hold an event there despite Big Slick being linked to a Poker Room. This suggests we may be "allowed", if we so desired & requested, to do the same. Being "allowed" to hold an event there & wishing to hold an event there are very different things.

Does that make more sense?

dont care where bb4 is but heres some defos about it......

the itb boys will be in attendance :D
we will defend our footie crown ;D
tikay will play footie for us :)up
the scots will give it large then bottle it rotflmfao
i will take the money for the footie in advance cos im still out pocket from the last one! :redcard:
the itb will lose the heads up to the busty gang again! :respect:
at least one itb player will reach the final table then succumb to mad monkeys banana play ;sexybanana;
the itb will do pathetic in the quiz ;nana;
ironside will continue raising me blind in the sng's until i get a hand and take his chips ;fishing;
and kev wont catch me drinking hot chocolate at 1am next time :cheers:

wherever it is itl be fantastic  :D
 ;letsparty; ;karabiner; ;letsparty;

You don't wanna go there cos they are linked to whoever so you prob don't wanna go to the loose cannon cos they seem to be linked to someone else? What I don't get is that you are linked to prob half a dozen plus poker sites - stars, will hill, sporting bet, is it prima who do the PNL tables?, blue square etc etc etc. If big slick or loose cannon or whoever had one of those sites logos on their tables would it be OKish or not?

Absolutely none of my business of course just being nosey, I've always admired the fact that you are good friends with so many competing sites, it shows what a nice guy you are imo. But as we all feel strongly about blonde I don't think it would matter to 99% of blondites who's logo is on the poker tables we'd all still wanna support BPL as much as poss especially if it was someone like VC cos if I wanna play Tribeca there's no way I would play at VC cos I'd play at Blonde. I don't play at Blonde as much as I'd like cos other sites pay me too much to play with them but if I ever get to the stage that the kickbacks are a small proportion of what I'm earning, I'd play much more at Blonde. For the past 4 or 5 months I've been living off RB and bonuses but hopefully one day I'll work out how to beat these pesky cash games.

So I guess I'm saying that it wouldn't matter imo if the cardroom for a blonde bash was linked to some other poker site cos they would get probably no business from blondites anyway especially the 2 sites linked to the London clubs cos they're pretty mickey mouse and there's no good reason to play there anyway.

Brighton would be really cool as well :)up

Loose Cannon requires people to pay to be members, probably not a great idea.

Big Slick has legality issues and i think we would all rather be in a casino. What i think Tikay meant though was that he wants the venue to want us. Not just tolerate us. Am i right?

As for logos on the table, Blue Square logos in Walsall so it wasnt that issue.

Brighton and London are both good for me

For London, I don't know anything about cardrooms;


But I doubt this would be a problem, although exactly where the card room is would decide it.

Brighton would be my choice...

 8)

london would be great, is Vic out of a question?

I've said this before, I'd go anywhere for the blondebash so it doesn't really bother me. I haven't been to many card rooms or casino's to really be able to judge which is best but I thought the broadway was an excellent venue. I also visited the Brighton Rendezvous casino and I thought that would be a good place to host a blondebash too.

:)

it is...  unless the question is "which cardroom would you most like to blow up." :)

Bear in mind some blondites are banned from Grosvenor Casinos.

its unfair to expect the powers that be behind bb4 to take this into consideration.

im sure there is a blonde of some sort banned from every casino chain in the uk so where as you might please someone banned from grosvenors by holding it at say at a gala casino what happens to the person banned from gala casinos?

i myself are banned from none so try keeping me away  ;D

Good thing the Rendezvous is LCI then!

Excuse my ignorance, new to the site, what is BB5.....are Big Brother putting poker players in the house this time???

I think it should be somewhere central for everyone, maybe somewhere near or around Birmingham.

BB = Blonde bash  :D

A "friendly" poker bash for a weekend.
So far we have had Birmingham
Glasgow
Walsall
BB4 will be in Brighton   ;whistle;
BB5 in Nottingham
BB6 Vegas

BB = Blonde Bash, a great weekend full of poker, booze, no sleep, football (that's what they call it anyway) and just a load of fun!

Look at the Past Blonde Bashes child boards for an idea of what goes on.

 http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?board=25.0

bB5 (please note the lowercase b) will be the 5th blonde Bash which at present is pencilled in for the DtD cardroom in notts
bB4 is the next blonde Bash whch is pencilled in for early next year at a venue TBC
we have already had 3 Bashes details of which can be found on there own child board

Thanks for clearing that up!!! And there was me with thoughts of Vicky Coren and Isabelle Mercier in the hot tub - marvellous

....is that heads up Crippin??

any way up!!!

bb6 in vegas now theres a thought .. ;D

Ian's house!!!!

Well i do have 2 spare bedrooms....................ladies?

Now i would be the first to admit that a central location in the Midlands would be great, but seeing as BB5 is penciled in for Nottingham, seems only fair we travel to the godless lands of the south, seeing as we have visited the land of the heathens.

Ive just read on ceefax that "blonde bash 4 WILL be held in London.

Either that or "Brandy boat four to be held in London" which is equally important..

As I'm typing it appears to have changed to" Brian's balls will be sold in London"?

Ive currently got the t.v Ariel tied to a snooker cue glued to a wooden spoon that I'm hanging out of the window whilst doing a hand stand, but whichever of these the headline reads you should all spare a thought for Brian!

 ;whistle;

p.s. Manchester or another North West Casino gets my vote :)up

Good Call Matt - Rendezvous are opening their new Manchester Casino this month sometime IIRC. A nice big even to fill it just after New Year?

But the weather's crap in Manchester...













Just thought I'd find an alternative reason for not doing the NW, before someone else does!!!

Trace
xx

P.S.   North West is perfect for me!   lol

Convenience for you was number one on my priority list when drawing up a short-list of venues

matt surely you have a tree house somewhere large enough to accomodate us all ? :D

We can have BB4 in Matts jungle!

January - I'm going to be in vegas - don't make me have to chooose!  :'(

January it is then

probably - however there is no airport within a short distance and the only ways into and out of our residence is swinging on jungle vine.

also i fear that our facilities would not be accessable by all being stuck half way up a tree.

How about BB3&1/2 in Amsterdam to concide with next months Masters Classic 3rd - 12th Nov. I'm planning to be out there for the final w/e but I don't imagine I'll be playing to much poker. Mexicana mushrooms and poker don't mix well  :o


Trust me you won't mind drinking the hot chocolate in the Bulldog cafe. They serve it with little packets of marijuana to stir into your hot chocolate.  ;kev;

Cost is the problem with this - unless we go Dutch.

Yer i fancy a smoke and a pancake :P i dont care where it is ill be there i was just wondering

bump

So, has anywhere been decided for bb4?

Surely Brighton? :D

honest answer


No idea when or where, we'll have to get cracking at some point soon but we're snowed under with everything

Excuses, excuses...... ;)

I hope so, only 40 mins down the road for me!

Any ideas on dates?

I guess Kev will be taking TightEnd again...

Now that statement is an open goal for someone LOL

sod off and lick yer elbow snoops, Kev and I are very happy together

Somewhere central would be best for everyone i think :D

 ;iagree;

so taking into account our friends north of the wall - Manchester it is then :)up

missed BB1, went to BB2, missed BB3, so it seems obvious that I go to BB4.

and no, we're not having it in Toronto before you ask!! ;)

Was going to propse my casino in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, lol

2 poker tables and 4 black jack tables

But I only have 1 spare room at my parents house, could be a bit crowded.

On the plus side though, it would be free cable, and wireless intenet for everyone as my dad installed it last year

Get back to me mods if you want more details  ;D

Throw the flights in and I'm there :D

any news on when BB4 will be??

my moneys on bb4 being at dusk til dawn now.

these things take loads organising and as it seems nothings been arranged yet i reckon dtd will be open by the time its arranged.

Sounds good! ;woohoo;

Actually, things ARE starting to move, we've found some help, & dates & venue will be available quite soon.

bB4 wil NOT be at DtD - bB5 WILL be at DtD, all being well. That gives you a clue as to timings.

Brighton, clearly.

Snoops will feel at home in his pink there

oh my! I just looked at the map and Brighton is right at the bottom!!   ;boltpp;

thats why flushy moved there

Any clues as to where it will be, must be time to have one down south?

London

Thats good for me :) oh do we know what sort of dates its gonna be ?

Just getting round to sorting this out.

emails sent, tasks given and news as and when we can. First off, date and venue needs sorting and we'll go from there

Can I go to BB4..........I hear they are great fun

Brighton. Standard.

I am already working on my pre comp warm up act  :)

Its unlikely to be as good as bb1,2 or 3 though

still the best but the gap will be closing

I have permission of the wench(missus) and shall be attending my 1st BB regardless of location.

Have only ever met 1 forum buddy and looking forward to meeting some more

Your gonna do a strip for us Kev ???

will you be able to attend this one Nem ?

I would like to buy nem his 1st beer if he does attend!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hopefully our slight falling out earlier in the year can be forgotten.

nice one Smithy :)

Totalise for BB4!

I have a phobia of stripping off in coastal resorts, last time i did it greenpeace tried to refloat me !!!!

Dont be silly we want people to turn up ;hide;

+Sark
+Bolt

yes definatly bolt

;iagree;

London would be great.

Brighton would be better.....

Yeah I'd like a trip down to Brighton

Has anyone suggested Brighton yet?

Wherever you want to have it guys, but as Brighton's not been mentioned we can forget it.

Brighton gets my vote.  It would be the first time a basking shark had something equally large to swim with

Who would win the fight Basking Shark V Col Kev      I know the shark is veggy but thats petty

Kev would eat the shark.

So much for next BB being in January! :P

2008

You mean Poppet still hasn't found out about the secret blondebash we all had last month?

:o Who took my job of writing stickers?

We just re used - a fine job was done at BB3 see.

Booder had lost his, no-one knew who he was.

Canada for bb4

...it could happen

I am in Vancouver in June, sounds good to me.

Could have it in Vegas in April, could fit that in!

Sorry, they've already said it's London.

I thought i should add my 2p


Brighton.

It's already been decided!!!!!!!!!! LONDON!!!!!!!!!!! ;D

I keep telling everyone FFS!!!!! ::)

If you were a mod you'd convince em to change it!!!!! ;hide;


 ;cheerleader;Flushy for mod!!! ;cheerleader;

I agree

The plan is to have the next bash as far away from Scotland as possible, I voted for lands end, but had to compromise ;)

In favour of London yeah?

well i was gonna get onside with ya bolt, but then i realised that the superior transport facilities in the Capital would kinda make it easy for the colonials to get there.

So unlike the Olympic commitee, London didnt get my vote ... soz pal.

LOOSE CANNON ??

I understand that is a problem, but with their inferior broadband connections they may not even be aware of the location until some weeks after the event.

Modern technology is reaching the colonies im afraid, a recent survey in glasgow found that 43% of the population were now aware that .....

a) Blackpool is NOT the only coastal holiday destination in the world
b) The Bay City Rollers have split up
c) The war was over

I had no idea we were talking about those kind of figures, that's frightening!!!

I know, we will really be in the shit if said technology ever reaches Wales !!!

All we can do is pray!

Amen.

There's gonnae be a war starting if you keep that up Sassenach!!!

 ;nemesis;

Bring it William Wallace !!!

That said technology has reached wales!!!!!! I think me and Rod may have a lot of tins of whoop ass to open in BB4!!!!!!!!

That's it!! I'm bringing Buckfast to BB4! (Jen'll drink it if no-one else will ;) )

LOL no worries from the colonials, your mob keep their welcome in the hillside, and Rods mob are all roaming through the gloaming ...or drinking meths under london bridge. :)

Well i cant wait for saturday, you know security is so lapsed in that casino. I could bring in any one of my knives and they wouldnt know................!

Nonsense, we all know people like you arent allowed to handle sharp objects.

lol yeh thats trues but we are also very good at stealing other peoples stuff, and luckily for me i live with a butcher so.....

Cool, see if you can rob me 2lb of bacon, 2lb of sausages and a nice joint of beef :D

lmao I will see what i can do  :)up

Has anyone suggested Brighton yet?

Wheres that?

don't think they have, i could accept that as an alternative to vegas

Any news?

Luton looks like it would be a good place to hold bb4   ;D nothing to do with how close it is to us  ;whistle;

Surely BB4 will be at DTD when it opens.

BB5 was supposed to be at DTD.

Western Club in London would be great for me :D

Somewhere not too far from cardiff!!!

Can't be Cardiff, we can't be paying to enter a country, it's just not on ;)

Brighton, surely?

It will not be open in time for our next planned Bash.

Also DTD is in Notts not Brighton.....

It remains the plan to have bB5 at DTD.

Surely BB5 should be in Hove.....

Tony pleeeeeeeeez ...flutters eyelashes....we are all dying to know xxxxxxxxx

Have it in Moortown!

or if not, Stokes Grovesnor's very good.

Brightons milllleeeeeeeeeees away.

i think we should have it in my house so that i can be sure of making it

 ;applause;

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

LOL, Look at the above post for a while, different letters go out of sync each time. :dontask:

they look perfectly symetricall through my eyes though ;)

Brighton?

I think this is the best suggestion.

I assume your mother is able to knock up a buffet for 200 people, Ironside?

Is there any new on date's ?.

Yes they are bloody horrible and everyone buys them at xmas but never eats them ;)

HeHe there's allways one :)

That sounds like a good idea :)

If it's in Brighton I don't want to hear any excuses from you this time!

Brightons a great idea ;) esp the new rendevous cardroom
played 2 weeks ago down there and won

curry and chips with pie and beans for those  with a more senssitve palet

had 50 round for deinks before 200 should be ok though we might need to use the neighbours garden aswell as mine

Brightons too far!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D

pft - it's practically a suburb.  you can get the train with me (separate carriages though)

If your REALLY lucky, there might be a Pride caberet on, like there was the other Saturday, when only 11 of turned up for the tournement.

Guess fear of being suspect kept most away.

The had a Dusty Springfield tribute,  a Drum And Bass disco. and a bunch of girls called Pussy cat Dolls, or some such.

In fact it was a bloody good night!!!!

And NO i'm not!!!!!!

you sure?

The rolling stock used on the Victoria to Brighton line (Southern Region) allows free access between the carriages.

Did anyone ever see the "London to Brighton in 1 minute" filmed from the cab of a train? Thery used to show it on Christmas afternoons as a special treat, every year. (a year or to back now). I think the film was speeded up.

Well done Claire!! ::)

I did the London - Brighton in 1983, can't remember though I was pissed (£1 a can on the train)

wow thats pretty cool, if only it was that fast in reality!

Only about 25 miles.........
















......well it is for me anyway ; ;whistle;

I developed a funny feeling earlier, i don't think it should be in Brighton anymore....

Have you tried a doctors?

I spent £34 on the journey from Bangor ;)

Wicked!
