blonde poker forum

And it begins well for the Brits, as Paul Maxfield sets Maureen Feduniak all-in, & hits his Flush.

Paul Maxfield - 250k.

Wiorld Champion Greg Raymer tries a move on Denmark's Mads Andersren, Mads calls & the pot is 450k. Greg had 6 outs, & caught one for a straight, so Mads Andersen is OUT.

Greg must therefore be nearly Chip Leader. Mads finished 5th in the EPT at Copenhagen, and should not be confused with Matthias Anderson.

Mads Andersen OUT.

"The Grinder" 610k

Greg Raymer 470k

Dave Colclough 400k.

And to save me asking Dave, perhaps someone can tell me who "The Grinder" is......

Michael Mizrachi I believe

But there are a few

 ;)

Hehe, behave now.

But Michael Mizrachi would make sense, he had 308k overnight, so sounds like he doubled through. Hardly "Grinding" as I know it, though........

Hi Tikay, in the middle of the storm again? ;)
Hows the atmosphere there? Starts to get tighter?

Do you have any updates about the Swedes?
Regards
Lassoo

Keep up the good work tikay and dave.

Really just wanted to try out my new picture, may come in handy if ironside gets out of control.  ;)

Bad day for Jan......

Jan Boubli is having no luck, & has dropped to 50k, he had over 250k overnight.

Barny Boatman "under 100k".

Joe Beevers 148k

Isabelle Mercier 110k.

I am getting texts from a few of our guys, & it seems, & I quote, "Isabelle is looking as sexy as ever".So don't start on me, I never said it.

 
Pete Costa 125k.

The days first level is over, & Blinds now go 2,000 - 4,000, running ante 500.

Go Yo?

Johan Storakers 300k.

LOL, but there is a suspicion that the message is taken and the attention to that seat is obvious ;D

But Bad for Boston

Overnight Chip Leader Alan Boston, who had 493,000, is down to 270k after a bad first session. The reports that suggested Dave was overnight Chip Leader (not on blonde!) were incorrect.

Maxfield Makes a point

Paul Maxfield is up to a very handy 360k.

He wishes to point out that "when I hit my flush & doubled up, I ALSO had a gutshot straight draw".

Ah, that's OK then. Paul we don't care if you had a double belly buster, just DO THE BUSINESS. Plenty of folks back home are rooting for you.

But Bloom Wilts.....

Tony Bloom is struggling now..........

Hi Lassoo. In reply to your earlier post, no, unfortunately, on this occasion, I am NOT at the venue. but my partner in blondepoker, Dave Colclough, is in the thick of things, & is sending me updates. Simon Aces Trumper, now sadly out of the comp, is also sending stuff across. But it's a bit hard to give you too much info on your fellow Scandies. See, when tikay is there, he does it better - but then again, tikay is usually OUT by now......

Are you from Sweden?

Hi Tikay,
I think that Blondie should focus on his play and buy you a trip so there can be proper reporting ;).

Yes Im from Sweden, Link?ing in fact and you might guess which player I am most interested in, lol.
Keep up the good work and remind Mr Colclough about where to invest.
Take care.
L S

Dave Colclough, has had a setback, & is down to 280k.

Hi Lassoo, good thinking!

Yes I have heard of Linkoping, & Sweden. What part of Norway is that?

Does everyone from Linkoping play poker?

And is it Sweden's version of Brave New World?

Any news on how many runners still in Tikay ??

Tikay,
Norway is the part of Scandinavia where the shrimps state that they are lobsters :D.
Link?ing is the poker capitol (maybe) of Sweden (sorry for the lobster kind of statement), and the base for i.e. Daniel Larsson, Bengt Sonnert ;D, Erik Sagstrom & Sargon Ruya.
Is there anythingmore to add ::)

Shtimps, Lobsters, I even see a Salmon in there somewhere......very confusing.

So these guys, Daniel, Bengt, Erik, they play poker do they? Proper Poker, like we do in Britain?

It seems, doesnt it?
Hope for continuous good stories from here.

There were 136 players left at the end of today's first level Kev.

51st to 100th all get $30,000, but our man will be gunning for a LOT more than that......

Dont know ???, maybe they do it different ;)

But Blondie Bounces Back

Dave Colclough back among the deep stacks with 350k. Sounds like he's busy.....

Midlands Mayhem

And Paul Maxfield also has 350k.

Link O'Ping .... isnt he Irish ???

.......... I'll get me coat !! :)

But Bad News for Barny

Barny is OUT.....

A quick google uncovered the following fact about Linkoping....

whether hot flushes exist in a normal aging male population and to what extent. DESIGN: A questionnaire was sent to all men living in Linkoping, Sweden, ...
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/ ... Med&list_uids=12544681&dopt=Abstract

they always seem to have hot flushes against my trips

Talking of hot flushes, some stunning news just in, & I quote exactly as the info came to me, though I "can't remember" who sent it, so speculate amongst yourselvers............

"Hellmuth is OUT, squealing like a baby"

Don't you just love these guys who can't take defeat like a man?

But Our Boys March On.....

Paul Maxfield 270k.

Rob Holliink 170k

Pete Costa - brother of the handsome & charismatic Kim - 310k.

Nearly in The Money.....

113 players left.

And some news from Simon Aces Trumper.......

Paul Testud 340k

Juha Helppi 260k

Jan Boubli 100k

Surinder Sunar 280k

Tony Bloom has staged a comeback, he's on 160k.

Joe Beevers 140k

More about Simon Aces Trumper in a mo.....

Average stack is now 187,000.

By way of thanking Simon Trumper for helping us out with updates, why not take a look at his Poker Diary on www.sportinglife.com.

Today he told us how his comp went, & tomorrow he will be going through some of today's key hands.

Hiya Tony.. I would really like to thank you for this coverage mate its great for us and it must also be nice for the guys out there knowing that we are all rooting for them back home

Dave Colclough is back up to 380k, that's more than double average.

The Grinder, Michael Mizrachi, continues to grind away at the top of the leaderboard with 740k. A Grinder with 740k? Brings a whole new dimension to the word.

Thanks Andy. It's not exactly high-tech, but it seems to be working. And you are spot-on, I have relayed all the good luck messages for the Brits back to Dave, & they seem well pleased.

Let's just hope Dave goes all the way - then we will keep getting the Updates!

Just read Simon's article - he's one of the best poker analysts out there imo.

Best of luck to all the brits/europeans but especially to Joe Beevers, a top bloke.

I read Aces' article too.  What is going to win this event, patience or aggression?  Any news on how Raymer is going, I'd love him to win this - some double that would be

Wishing good luck to Dave, Pete C, and Mad Max.

Thanks for the great coverage as per usual Tony.

Playing golf tomorrow, 4bbbko match at 8.10am !
Not a time I am familiar with normally, hope my partner's on form  ???

God Luck in the morning Ralph. 8.10am - what's THAT?

Thats what time Tikay has his cocoa ;)

Hi Barry (No Leaks).

Patience or aggression?

Sounds like Grinding at the moment. But it's a sobering thought that the chip leader, with about 740k, only has ONE THIRD of the average stack for the Final. Long way to go......

Get it right Kev. It's Ovaltine in the week, Horlicks (for a treat) at the weekend.

If anyone else out there is following isabelle I have just had a text to say she has over 80k at the break. 108 left.

Ariston, I'm getting a bit concerned about your admiration of Isabelle, Womble tells me its bordering on stalking LOL

More from Dave......

Dave Colclough 380k

Greg Raymer 670k.

Paul Maxfield 300k

Isabelle Mercier 170k

Juha Helppi 280k

The Grinder, Michael Mizrachi, 750k (chip leader)

Joe Beevers 105k

Pete Costa 220k.

108 left.......

Hi Tony,
No Leaks is Richard (not Barry - you were confused by the business e-mail address)
Impressive reporting service - under 10 minutes for the Raymer chip count and good news as well.
Let's make this a little harder....
Who's gonna bubble?  And how many has first WPT main event winner Alan Goerring got?

Wow, if I can't get your name right, how am I gonna answer THOSE two questions?

But I'll try & find out Alan's count.

Bubble Boy? Give me half an hour. (hehe.....).

Now now kev behave yourself, just because im not allowed to go within 1/2 mile of her doesnt mean I cant watch her on the internet  :)

bubble will be tikay

great service tikay even if your can't be there in person
we are all now there in spirt (well i might not be for long going back to bed)


as for Mr Aces great guy, nice to talk to and very pleasant

just never trust his reads (GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR)
as they aint that good ;)

Welcome back Ironside, hope you feel a little better!

In the nick of tiime too, I need one of your predictions - by the law of averages, you HAVE to get one right soon....

So, who's gonna Bubble?

Not me this time, but, incredibly, I managed yet another Bubble/10th place last week at Luton. I ran into AA & KK on the SAME hand - & my Q-5 failed to stand up.......

I think they call it "Cyber-Stalking" lol. I hope for her sake she is not going to Blackpool lol she will need an injunction to keep you away :)

Surinder Sunar is going along nicely, 400k.

funny you should say that , apparantely she has relatives in blackpool which means she qualifies as a late substitue for the blackpool team. Watch this space ;D ;)

the new tikay will be ......................................

David Sklansky

Better hurry.  I hear it's hard for hand now.

Well we will know soon enough, 102 players left, 100 get paid.......

Hand for hand, even

my prediction for bubble is e lindgren

Crafty Ironside. I fancy there will be a nifty bit of editing on his post shortly......

LOL @ Hard for hand ..... made me think of ariston looking at pics of isabelle on his comp lol

rlmao

Sorry, it won't be Eric Lindgren, he went 5 or 6 spots ago.....

But it IS officially Bubble Time - 101 left!

Scotty out 102nd

In all honesty I think she would kill me :P Not my thing women who frighten me lol

Happy Victor......

There is a guy on Dave's table, Victor Ramdim, he's from Monte Carlo.

Victor just has the dream double up - AA v KK, & he's up with the big boys now, 650k.

Bloody hell this is tense lol

whats the world record for trying to get the bubble boy out ??

think tikay once lasted 12 hours

Don't be silly Ironside, it was 11.

Deafening silence from across the water, you can feel the atmo from here. And you gotta feel for the poor guy - or lady - who bubbles. It's a horrible thing - well, so I'm told.....

But you get used to it after the first 178 times......

Anyone know how Isabelle is doing? She has been so unlucky in a few big tournies of late...........

And we have our Bubble Boy, the improbably named Danny Dang.

Once everyone has made the money, a few others busted out shortly afterward:

100. Senthil Kumar 99. David Grey 98. Eddy Kleid 97. Trinity Greene 96. Robert Schweigen


According to cardplayer.

Sandy

And Dave has had what he calls a "disaster". He had Q6, & two sixes flopped. Lovely.

But Matey Boy had A-6....

Dave down to 190k.

Danny Dang had JJ & ran into QQ. Hoping against hope for the miracle J to fall, he looked on in horror as a Q flopped.

Tikay,
do you have the connections to someone that could answer if Bengt Sonnert is in the money?
It would be highly apprecieated :D

Leave it with me Lassoo, I will try......

She was doing just fine not long ago Ben, & I would have heard if she's been knocked out.

I just read elsewhere Phil Ivey has 450k

IMO he is the best tournament poker player in the world, and he's my pick to win it all.

Anyone else care to make a prediction?

Hmm, I'll err on the cautious side here Keith.

I think he won't win it........

Seriously, hard to say. I hope Dave does, but if he don't, well Surinder has the game, & he's in good shape.

I've only played Ivey once, thank God.

He is the only player who has ever intimidated me at the poker table.

It felt like I was playing with my cards face up.

A truly scary experience.

Tony

3 things :

Are you at the Bellagio now - if not where's the info coming from

Secondly please wish Dave all the best from me & the mrs

On a totally dif subjest - what's the structure for the cavendish this weekend i.e. no. of days, starting stack and are there any seats left

Cheers

Nick

Mr" I cant pass AQ in a key situation "Ivey , you really think so ?

Keith

I too have only played with Ivey once at the WPT in gay Paris last year.

He moved all in on the button with 23 - got called and got knocked out

Rubbish player

Let's deal with Camel first.

You mean tikay don't scare you? Say it ain't so.......

PS

Forgot to mention - It was beginning of day 2 - he was in a foul mood cos he had to come back as shortest stack and along with the rest of the yanks thought Paris was a dump :)

I played against him when he was "hungry" for success.

These days he plays in cash games so big, that a first prize of a million or so just doesn't motivate him.

If he is, in horse racing terms, a "trier" (and the fact he's been a short stack for so long and grafted away in true Tikay style suggests he is) he is quite simply a monster.

Hi Nick, aka The Sheriff.

I am at home, Dave is passing the info to me direct from the table, Simon Trumper has been helping too.

Will pass on the good wishes from you & Maid Marion - and please thank the good lady for all her help at the weekend, she a HEROINE.

Will reply to the Cavendish question in a mo, news just in from The Bellagio,.....

Quote from Mr Colclough.....

"moving & shaking, over 300k again".

I replied " I think I love you".

He replied - well, let you guys work that out. But I sorta got the impression it was not reciprocated.

Tony,

What were you looking at when your photo was taken, in the picture by the side of your posts, that caused your eyebrow to be at such a strange angle?

OK, Cavendish Classic details for The Sheriff.

2 day jobbie, 10k starting chips as far as I know. A week ago I spoke to Sean Murphy, & they had sold or reserved 80 seats. Capacity is 200. Get your arse over there. And Maid Marion's too.....

Poker 425 are sending a crew as well.

Me, Thewy, Mel Lofthouse, Jim Reid, Rhowena, are all staying at the Malone Lodge Hotel.

You know if any French still play in LV?

Sorry for the English

Jeez, you do notice the stangest things Mr Hawkins. Get on Stars & sign up for the $210, $525 & $1,000 SNG's, I can't earn money until they fill, & you'll do nicely.

The pic? It was taken by Joe Beevers in Copenhagen. Kevin O'Connell had just walked past with a pot of tea. You don't see stranger sights than THAT....

Thx Tikay will investigate flights now

Hi Spacefrog, always nice to welcome a Frenchman on blonde........

"Sorry for the English". Mutual, rest assured.....

Paul Testud had about 440k last I heard.

Jan Boubli has been up & down all day, but I have not heard how he's shaping for a good while.

Do you count Isabelle as French? If so, she was doing just fine last I heard.

Talking of which, some chip counts in......

Paul Maxfield 340k

Dave Colclough 380k

Surinder Sunar 400k

Isobelle Mercier 160k

Pete Costa 300k

And Camel's Hero, Phil Ivey, 900k.

Do you know if Bruel has played this day?

More Chip Counts, then I will answer Mr Frog's question.

Paul Testud 450k

Tony Bloom 100k

Joe Beevers 200k

Greg Raymer 700k.

75 left.

Isobelle "gets lucky" & trebles through.

You have just caused me to burst out laughing while swallowing a mouthful of coke, resulting in spraying my computer screen with aforementioned sticky fizzy drink.

I'm not happy.

Big chip count list.

Stolen (obviously) from another site.

Don't tell them I posted it here or they will probably sue me.

Hi Space - can I call you Space?

Bruel, he was not in the overnight chip counts, so either he did not play, or he busted out early.

You call me what you feel good

Thanks Camel. I don't know where you got those counts from, but PLEASE don't anyone tell me, I'm a good boy. But I think they are an hour or so behind, but at least it gives us a guide, good man.

I thought his face was pressed against a window

Thanks Mr Frog. You are doing just fine with your English, the words & the spelling are all perfect. Just gotta get them in the right order now, & you'll be there. But your English is a damn sight better than my French, I'll have to concede.

With my pleasure i enjoy this another day i have to go sleep.

The ours has been all pleasure Mr Frog, well do sleep.

Ivey takes the chip lead

funny extremely tony, naughty you boy

Go on Paul Maxfield (the most under-rated player I M H O ).  Hes got the game to go all the way.

ou est le colclough?

Wassatmean?

If it aint Maxfield , I think its going to be Mike that Grinder bloke, hes in hot form at the moment.
You should recognise him Tikay, hes always on Poker Stars.

I only play SNG's on Stars, but I have seen him once or twice.

How come you always arrive on the Forum at some ungodly hour?

The Grinder's a youngish bloke who won one of the events at the 5 diamond before xmas - he is indeed in HOT HOT form.

ou est le colclough - he didnt appear on the camel's 'hot of the press' chip count list

Ah, that's the translation.

I am sure I woulda heard if Dave had an "accident".

playing tight as usual I reckon:

Dave Colclough - $280,000

Dave's just fine, chip counts coming through.....

Hi craig, you were notably absent from the walsall contingent at luton, are u going to blackpool? and tikay, will 425 be there?

btw, micky did bloody well didnt he?

Dave Colclough 300k

Isobelle Mercier 500k

Paul Maxfield 400k

Johan Storakers 22k

Peter Costa 470k

Italian Mad Max (who he?) 330k

Surinder 300k

Rob Hollink 100k

Ive been out Tikay, but been keeping up with the progress at Pete Bandits house. You know what they say " better late than never ".

Hi Reddog, Im going to try to get to Blackpool for a couple of events, and yes Micky did do well. You want to see his new shoes   :D

Pete The Bandit has a COMPUTER?

Joe Beevers 210k.

57 players left.

The money starts to increase once they get down to 50.

41st to 50th pays $37,800.

50th to 100th $30,000.

Too right, Micky Wernick is hot right now. He made, I believe, 5 or 6 Finals in a week at Walsall, & two big moneys at Luton.

And he made two terrific plays in the biggie at Luton. One was a huge bluff with 7-2 for half his huge stack.

And in the Final, when Alan McLean was bullying like billyo, he put down QQ to yet another Alan McLean raise - & Alan had the Aces. What a pass THAT was!

No word of Tony Bloom for ages.

Can you ask our intrepid hero if he's still in?

Phil Ivey 1,100,000

The Grinder 900,000

Greg Raymer 500k

Tony Bloom 60k

Dave describes the new chip leader (1,400,000) as an "unknown", but it was the guy who decimated Dave's stack earlier, when Dave had Q6 on the 6-6-x flop, & Matey Boy had A6.

How quick was THAT?.......

OK, Dave has identified the Chip Leader, he's John Smith, & he's not bitter........

More counts on the way.....

Juha Helppi 330k

Mad Max from Italy 200k. Any clue who he? Mad & Italy, that ain't much of a clue, they are ALL mad......

Johan Storakers 200k.

Thanks for all the updates TK and pass on good luck to DC

Will do Belgariad. Welcome to the blonde Forum! Do Dave or I know you?

Its Eugene... Mel Lofthouse's bloke

 :)

Dave may not remember me but played a couple of times with him.

Ahh, Eugene. Where's Mel?

Maxfield?  please Tikay

She has been in bed about two hours... she was up early this morning with Declan, she was looking at forum today lots.

And some good news for our Swedish viewers.

My good friend Bo Legato is up to 550k.

Bo - "Legato" on Stars, is now sponsored, I believe, by Martin's Room, which is Martin De Knijff's site. Bo is a comedian - literally.

Will check on Maxfield in a mo.

Isabelle 429k - & now sitting next to Dave Colclough.

Paul Maxfield 400k

Mel spent hours on the forums today? Not like her......

How many are they playing down to today ?

27  or 9 pm   whichever is sooner

50 players left in, & 50 minutes to close of play.

Dave Colclough is "struggling" now with 180k.

Paul Maxfield 320k

David Williams 1,000,000.

Play is going to finnish about 9 .50  they reckon, Surrinder has just gone  2 black AA vs 99. 4 diamonds came and his opponent had the 9 of diamonds.

Hey Tikay ,heres a bubble story for you.  Last night i finnished on the bubble at Walsalls 100 re buy, then came home ,played a tourny online and yes I bubbled in that too LOL.

Tony Bloom OUT....

Joe Beevers 480k

Phil Ivey is bullying Isobelle repeatedly.

Johan Storakers busts out in 49th place, but takes home $37,800.

Paul Testud 250k

Pete Costa 250k

Chris Jesus Ferguson 250k

Dave Colclough 250k

Paul maxfield 100k

48 players left.

Maxfield TREBLES through to 300k.

In a 3 way pot, he has AK, others have KQ & JJ.

Flop brings A-A-x.......

GO MAXI  GO

Paul Maxfield 400k

Juha Helppi 600k

Rob Hollink 480k

Joe Beevers 580k

45 runners left.

Hope you enjoyed the patched together coverage, & many thanks to Dave for keeping us updated.

Night all!

i'm not aware of the current blinds -

is 300K comfortable?

rooting for Isobelle have had a small bet on her.

ivey has had quite the day 60 K into 1mill plus i believe.

enjoying the coverage - getting me through my work.

Tikay, dont go till you get Maxi's chip count    :(

An old man trying to get to bed here Craig. I have asked Dave for PM's count, if he responds quickly, I'll post it for ya.

Dave's not 100% sure, but he thinks Paul Maxfield is on about 380k.

Thx Tikay
NOW GO TO BED!

Heroic work, tikay. wp m8 ;)

Hi xdanielx, welcome to blonde.

Sorry, not sure of the blinds right now. Is 300k comfortable?

Well I reckon average now is around 489k, so not exactly comfortable, but certainly no need to press the panic button yet.

It's still anyone's to win, & everyone's to lose.

Good luck with your bet on Isabelle, she will do her best, that's for sure. It's already her biggest win, if I am not mistaken, & she ain't finished yet. Isabelle is a follower of blondepoker, and her Mum is an active member of the blonde Forum, & regularly follows Isabellle's progress via blonde. And we interviewed Isabelle for Poker 425, she gave us a very professional interview which came out well.

Thanks Guys, thanks Dave, I'm outa here. Due to go jogging at 0600.....

Italian Mad Max is Max Pescotori ( I think?)...good coverage TK, looking forward to Day 4

Thanks Tikay,
We'll be there at noon, and keep me up to date
with Isabelle.

Mention Isabelle's Mum, & there she is - "Surprise".. Hi, how are you today? Proud of that daughter of yours, I'll bet.

She did great yesterday, & she is in there with a great chance. And if that nasty Mr Ivey starts trying to bully her again, I think he may be in for bit of a shock - she will fire back at him plenty quick!

Isobelle's interview on Poker 425 was terrific, Isabelle asked me to get her a tape of it, & I am sorting it for her.

Good luck tonight. I assume by "noon", that's Noon in Canada. It starts at 8pm English time I believe. Is Canada in America?

After Phil Ivey re-raised Isobelle for the third time, she just told him the next time she was all-in
and everyone at the table knew she meant it
Phil didn't re-raise the next time Isobelle raised

There has been a new table draw though, so she should be away from him

Had an email from isa and 3 times Mr Ivey played back at her and 3 times she lay down. As you know Tikay she is not a lady to be pushed around and I think it was probably a good job for Mr Ivey that the tables have been redrawn. Good luck isa, a good few over here are rooting for you.

I'd love to have seen Isabelle's face when she said that to Phil - and his! Don't mess with Isabelle!

What view do you have on your table draw for today Dave?

If your on the recieving end of "the look" from isabelle you dont forget it in a hurry. A final with Dave, isa and Ivey would be interesting.

Day 3 of this event was probably the most frustrating of my poker career.
For the most of the day, I was sat on an excellent table again, with lots of chips on offer. The main problem was we had a couple of calling stations. Which is fine, as long as you can pick up the odd hand...it just didn't happen
 
In 7.5 hours of poker , I picked up a pair of Jacks and one AK, no AQs & no other pairs above 9s. Incredibly frustrating in this level of tourney.

Eventually I cracked. I played Q6 of hearts on the button. Mainly, just because it was the blinds for Victor Ramin and John Smith. Both had big stacks, and both were calling stations, and I knew I could get on if I hiit something. Two 6s hit the board and I proceeded to lose 270k to A6 held by the big blind

The whole of the rest of the day was just survival, stealing the odd blind to tread water

Eventually I found JJ and moved over the top of Victor who called my only all-in with 99 - my hand stood up, and I had some more oxygen

The deck is due to hit me in the face first thing today, so maybe we will catch up fast when it does....maybe not

Good luck to all the Brits left in........ Will be following closely from about 7pm here in Liverpool....

good luck dave, hope the wave of cards comes.

Tikay, for your own information, Canada is in America.
North of United States.
Tournament starts at noon, Las Vages time, and 3 PM my place
in Canada.
and I hope I'll see that tape of Isabelle.
I certainely will.
Good luck to Isabelle.  I'm behind her 100%.

12pm Vegas 3pm Canada... and 8pm in Fizackeley not 7

Just got in from work and read all the updates....really good stuff! Well done Tikay! Good luck to Dave and all the other Brits still in, hope one of them wins it!!

Shere's Fizackeley ?  In U"K" ?
and YOU are in Vegas,  aren't you ?

WHERE'S Fizackeley

Good luck Dave. You'll be able to afford to buy all the stoc from Vijay's shop if you can win this one.  Cheers Rob

Evening alll.

Fizackley? No idea WHERE that is. Probably in Liverpool (the guy's name is Scouse Bill, & scousers come from Liverpool). For Surpise's benefit, Liverpool is a suburb of Manchester, in England. And they have a football team, Everton.

And Surpise agrees with me that Canada is in America, then says it is north of the United States. Amazing how few women understand geography.

We will start a new thread for Day Four.

Thank you Tikay and good day,
And keep us inform as if we are there.

ok to correct Mr tikay (chauvanist)

canada is part of the continant of north america
the USA is also part of north america

canada is north of the USA and not part of the USA as most canadians seem to think

there is no such place as america
americans are people that come from the USA

i'll stand up for the ladies on the forum
