blonde poker forum

If so, there's a whizzo new Poker Magazine Show, the second pilot of which airs at 8.30pm tonight on Channel 865.

There's still some tweaking to do with the tone & pace, & some severe tweaking to the pundit, but we are nearly there & the next Edition wiill be pretty spiffing. For now, marvel in Compo's truly horrific fashion sense, in a suit you'd rather not be seen dead in.

This Edition covers the Brighton GUKPT Final, interviews with all the Finalists, & some other stuff. Also, an Andy (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=469) Black (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=469) piece, which was actually quite good I thought, and a nice interview with Jonathan Raab, about his baby.

And Pre-Final, every Finalist was interviewed, & told us how he planned the Final to pan out. Mark their words, there was some jaw-droppers in there.....

Feedback welcome, on everything, except the aged pundit, who, as they may say of a poorly performing racehorse, "has improvement in him, will perform better next time".  Groan.

Seriously, take a look, 8.30 tonight, Channel 865. Watch it whilst you play the blonde League, please. There, hats juggled, everyone happy.

I'm off out, in case I get tempted to watch.

PS - I will accept ofers from £50 up for the Tie I wore. Compo's Suit is on special offer at the PoundShop, BOGOF.

This really annoys me, whilst taking nothing away from Jon this was a huge team effort from all of us, Zac, Ian, Russell and myself put in 100 hr weeks and god knows how many miles traveling for meetings, and yet all we hear is jon this and jon that.

OK, if you give me £60 I'll take the tie :D

You may have a point, he does garner a lot of recognition for the GUKPT, but I think you read too much into this particular post. I'm sure it wasn't meant how it may have sounded.

it wasn't meant at this particular post , more the general thing of Jon getting all the recognition, and then Grosvenor and the td's getting the slagging of due to rulings.

Can you get SkyPoker on Virgin cable?

So was it not JR's idea?

I may be the public face/spokesman of the GUKPT, but I am not out to hog the limelight and I have always made a point of saying that the success of the GUKPT is not just down to me. Here is a link to a video on the thenutz.tv that I did at Brighton and as you will see I make a point of saying that everyone involved with the running of the tour deserves recognition as well. I may have received the Staff Person gong at the European Poker Awards, but I accepted it on behalf of everyone I work with.

I have always seen it that way JR, but I can't thank everyone by name, I don't even know them all.

You are the guy with his head above the parapet. When it goes well, you are the hero, when it goes wrong, you get the stones thrown at you.

It was always so. I see no problem in acknowledging your efforts, & by default, I'm acknowledging the efforts of the entire Team.

You all did good. End of.

I think its just the nature of awards ceremonies that individuals get the gongs, that the public face of a team effort have their names etched on the trophies. Everytime I've seen Jon he is always saying 'we' instead of 'me' with regards to the GUKPT, always praising every facet of the tour from dealers to TDs to players and ALWAYS defending the people he works with.

Loved the show btw, please say there will be more. Did anyone notice Tikay end his segment with Nick Holbrook by saying "yo!" for no particular reason?

Sigh. I was engaging with the kidz.

Next Episode I'm gonna engage with the old folks. "I say old chap", sorta thing.

Multi-dimensional stuff.

I'm very hopeful we can refine it into a great Show over the coming months.

My post may of come across wrong, I don't begrudge Jon any of the limelight or his well earned award or imply that he tries to hog the limelight. just that the td's and russell i know put in 100 hr+ weeks when these fessies are on and the only mention they generly get are when we get a norkage shot of dena or a ruling is made people dont agree with. I havn't worked for Grosvenor for over a year and I have more reason to hate them than most people out there but the staff work very hard and i would like to see that appreciated more.

 

Damn apparantly I missed the show as I just read this and thought it was today :(

Will it be repeated, on "The Clothes Show" maybe ?

In a previous life, I repeatedly set up & recorded interviews on Poker 425 & Poker Week with the TD's, & Dealers, & I would imagine that In-Poker will do the same. And I large up Grosvenor left right & centre, & have done for years. I really don't know what else to say. A big up to Grosvenor, or the GUKPT, is a big up to all involved.

Sadly, as to norkage shots, they are a bit non-pc, but if you want to stare at me & mentally undress me, I will not take offence. It happens a lot, you know.

Clearly, you never saw Compo's Suit.

There is a bit where Tikay says blow job. I think he meant to say day job but he defintiely said blow job to Jonathan Rabb. I've played it a million times....

What? Denied!

Proof, or it did not happen.

I have it on tape...

I really enjoyed the show, thanks for the HU Tikay.

Was that Dana playing the banjo in the soundtrack? It was good to see so many Blondes on there too.

Watched it, liked it, long may it continue.

Glad you enjoyed it Mad.

The next edition is from, wait for it.......Edinburgh! Next weekend.

The following weekend we are at the Walsall APAT, then, I think, The Broadway, followed by the Walsall GUKPT.

I don't think that was Dana on the Banjo, though she is very good. Having "commercial" music on a TV Series is a very complex thing, with royalties & stuff. It was probably some "in-house" stuff.

There will be some subtle changes in future Editions. We've watched it, pulled it to pieces, & hopefully we can make it better. Compo's Suit, for example. Less (attempted) overt comedy, more subtle stuff next time. I thought the Editing & pace, were excellent. Some other changes, too, to sharpen it up.

Oh, & I will revert to normal-speak.

Yo.

Thanks Vinni. How bad, on a scale of 1 to 10, was Compo's suit? Go on, be honest.

err 1= quite bad 10= horrendous. Then it's a 10 all day long.

I didnt even pay any attention to compo'c suit, must have just thought it was the norm...

The bit about 'nippers' was well edited with images of Reddog throughout that piece. Was very funny as I dont imagine Red to be a 'nipper'

Looking forward to the next shows. You are quite a double act :)

That bit where you and Compo turn over poker top-trump style cards until you get a 'snap' - I think I should be on one the cards imo.

Liked the show Tikay & Compo but its virtually the same as Poker Week ( which I also liked ) so was the other show a non sky show??

Yes - and Tikay didn't say blowjob on the other show. Personally I think it was a prop bet. If you watch it again its the bit just before he hands Jonathan the trophy.

I am not aware of the exact repeat schedule, but  do know it will be on again this Tuesday, at 8.30pm. Unedited. And I did NOT say those words! I don't even know what they mean.

Is Compo a giant or are TK and JR just failed jockeys?

When you say "the same as Poker Week", I assume you mean "better". Yes, you do. The question was rhetorical.

In-Poker is Produced & Edited in-house.

He was standing on a box.

Really ? ? ?

compo is only about 5ft 6. but as lead man, he insists on being taller etc.

Wanna bet?

I'm toast if I did!

Yup, you got the bet.

How much? Shall we say two bob?

Not sure with all the blonde problems you can manage two bob. I'll settle for one bob and bragging rights that I got one over the old skool.  ;D

why edinburgh, whats happening there next weekend ?

Sky Poker tour

You lose.

Yesterday, in the interests of improving the Show Format & style, we ran through the entire tape, to "pick it to pieces" as it were. Frame by frame.

I took considerable interest in the disputed section, as did others.

Nothing to see, hear, or report.

You owe me one bob.

I intend to collect.

Yes Laz, as Claire notes, we are at Gala Maybury, on Saturday.

Maybury is just outside Edinburgh - that's the posh part of Scotlland, on the right hand-side. Cobbled streets, Royal Mile, Castle on a hill which nobody in their right mind would consider worth climbing, never mind defending. Holyrood House - HM The Queen owns that. Statue of a dog. Marvellous Hotel, where a Cellist serenades you while afternoon tea is consumed. (The Balmoral). A bizarrely constructed but rather quaint Railway Station, Waverley.

There, a potted tour of Edinburgh, Scotland's football capital. You should visit, you'd enjoy it.

It also has all the P****s, W****s & J*****s

Sorry my teuchter friends but you all know its true, but for that very same reason Glasgow has the H**s :)

:dontask:

Apologies Kin - I've no idea. Sorry!

no mate

I guess it was removed from Virgin when Sky and Virgin had their 'disagreement', but now they've kissed and made up and Sky1 is back on Virgin I don't see a reason why Sky (https://www.skypoker.com/secure/poker/sky_lobby?aff=4042) Poker (https://www.skypoker.com/secure/poker/sky_lobby?aff=4042) shouldn't be on as well.  

agree but it isnt!

That was just me musing to myself really :D. 

It must have been overlooked in the channel movements.

maybe or maybe it because virgin have a poker room and dont want to advertise skypoker. unlike with the channel swap skypoker isnt a channel that virgin will benefit from having.

Things must be bad if you are that desperate for a bob you have to lie about it .........

No case to answer. Pay up. ;)

is 'bob' shorthand?

yes - for 5p in new money.

Tikay pm'd me and admitted he said "Grosvenor bloke jobbie" which I think is a get out plea. As if Tikay wouldn't use the Queens English.....innit?

no need to visit it now - you have told me all i need to know.

in fact, there used to be a good reason to visit - one of the very best curry houses in britain. but that burnt down just before christmas, so no reason to go back.


enjoy your stay. if you are looking for somewhere decent to stay, may I recommend glasgow.

It's slang for "shilling". (5p).

well yes I know that - I thought in this context though it might be short for the thing he was supposed to have said....;D

Admitted? Admitted? That's what I said - "top Grosvenor Casino Person bloke Jobbie"!

One is staying at the Marriott. The Maybury Marriott. Posh, like. Food, & everything.

Recommend this in Edinburgh  www.camera-obscura.co.uk  the sort of thing you would like Tikay.

It used to be shorthand for an amount of money that would buy you two bus rides, a frame of snooker, and a bag of chips.

Thanks Trace, I'm keen to vist that. They have one (Camera-Obscura) in Bristol, right next to Brunel's Clifton Suspension Bridge, on the hill above it. (With a Tea-Room underneath it!).

I really don't know what a camera-obscura is, or does, tbh. Sounds interesting though.

It's one of those peeps that walk in front of you while you're making a pirate movie.

When I was a Boy Scout (St Gabriel's Church, Peewit Troop), we used to have an Annual Bob-a-job week. Pay a Bob, do any job. Some bugger made me mow a complete field with a hand-mower.

The views from the top of the tower are good in anycase (it's on the road up to the castle) but the camera obscura is like the original eye in the sky. It beams pictures from the city through lenses into the middle of the room. A sort of Victorian security camera. A bit geeky but interesting which is why I thought you might like it.

My last recommendation for a visit resulted in a grinding bike, looking forward to whatever this starts!

This is less than a bob.

(http://images.boardgamegeek.com/images/pic221069_md.jpg)

No its not, it's 1s 1d. Sad I know but I had to count them.

I didn't see the penny that's almost completely hidden by another.

If you want to be pedantic, it's actually twelvepence ha'penny

So there!

And well I remember that, & the story which followed it - that Museum in Luton you told me about, I took Tom, & he discovered that Grinding Bike.

I shall try & take Compo up to the Edinburgh Camera Obscurer. Who knows what will follow that?

If Compo is invloved probably some device to look at womens skirts....

:o

I'm trying not to laugh, but I can't help it.

Yes, I've just had seepage after that.

Excellent work. Has Andrew hacked your Password?

OUT OF ORDER - you Edited that Quote!

look again, I am assuming both top coins are halfpennies. (there are two pennies hiding away)

This is getting sadder by the post.

You bad, bad, but funny, girl.

No. Only one of them is a ha'penny. (Try measuring them)

Yep, it was an optical delusion thingy. Well I make that 1s 1d and a ha'penny then.

Please let's stop this now .

With you in the right? You'd like that wouldn't you?

Mrs Red asleep? No one to witter at Tom?  ;)

It would be one of the few times he has the upper hand and doesn't want to lose the opportunity.

No chance. She's cleaning something. I'd bet on that.

I have Robert....

I will admit I am a poor substitute but won't criticise your belly.

She's watching a film on her lappy, wearing headphones, mumbling along with the dialog, and dribbling slightly from one corner of her mouth.

I think you've pulled there Tom....good man....

Crafty photo opportunity here. Let's see how much trouble you can yourself into tonight.

Mrs Red is looking well.

 rotflmfao......................Just brilliant. Thanks Tom

Geo

Geo is now the one dribbling slightly out of the corner of his mouth.

At my age, I'll take any dribbling I can (except for the type that my op put right.)

Geo

I think that caravan's warmer than you let on.

calling willie grumpy at the table then having him turn up is clever imo.

Tikay,
I watched the first show (Brighton) and then recorded what I thought would be the 2nd show but it was a repeat of the Brighton one. Is there a set day of the week when the first showing is on, or is this not weekly?
Thanks

First episode will be at 8.30pm on a Thursday evening Ed.  It's weekly from here on in.

Cheers.
