blonde poker forum

Just for info the Village Hotel are currently doing rooms with breakfast for two for 55-
Just a couple of hundred yards from the Casino.

My confidence in making the second day is such that I have already booked my room--LOL


The rate is for advance bookings only on

What's the story with this comp

How many runners expected or to how many restricted?

Are sponsors adding anything?

Anything else to help me make my mind up?

No sponsors so far as I know.

The last one sold out, no reason why this one wont either.

It will be covered by Poker 425, & all Finalists will be asked for an interview, though they are entitled to refuse. Blonde will be doing a Live Update.

You could send a Personal Message (via the blonde Forum, top of page) to a guy called Dani Versace, who is a blondeite, & seems to know a good deal about what goes off in Walsall Grosvenor.

Thanks tikay

Lol, he should do he's the cardroom manager!!
BTW ask him about the recent rule change regarding exposed cards.
Beware all..
Ian

Hehe, I was aware of that Ian, but I noticed Dani always posts in a way that suggests he does not want the connection known.

Gaffe blown!

So tell us more about the new "exposed cards" rule......come on, spill the beans.

Basically that's it, if you expose your cards in any way shape or form, deliberately, accidentally or even if someone looks over your shoulder your hand is DEAD!!
I actually said to Dan it would cause more trouble than it would solve and he said it is with the descretion of the cardroom manager, but i fail to see how they can distinguish.
BTW it claimed it's first victim after i think 1 day (maybe 2) when a fella was actually barred cuz he got abusive after falling foul of the decision.
Ian

Well rules am rules, so we better take heed, thanks for the nod.

Course, if we had a uniform set of rules.......

Now that's an idea, maybe you should lobby for some

Don't start me off again Ian........Think I have spent enough time on my high horse tonight. Been fun though.

i think the uniform rules should be females in short shirts with black tights and low cut tops
and men should have collar tie long trousers and polished shoes

If 425 had uniform rules they wouldnt let you wear that jacket......

red dog do you know how likely the 300 is to sell out before saturday

my weekend has suddenly freed up having planned to goto glasgow to play

i am now thinking of going to walsaw if i can get a passport in time

i can already speak the important polish words

Hells bells, Red Dog has woken up. Wait tlll he hears we have a new member from Aussie!

Ironside, I can put you in if you want, and let me know if you need a lift from the airport

Tom, you likely to be in Walsall before Saturday then?

i'll have a look for a hotel room and see if there is still a seat on flight tomorrow

major problem is that the only flight between aberdeen and brum on a saturday leaves at 10am

which means leabing the house at 7 30 am

or getting out of bed at 5am

I might go tomorrow night, why, do you need something?

the rule has always been there, when exposing a hand, 99% of players says it was unintensional so we used to giv the benafit to the player by sayin his hand stays live but he cant make action, (they all giv their different reasons for exposing their hand), so now all we are sayin is its the players responsability to know wants going on the table and wait for the dealer to tell them on their backs. i dont think thats to much to ask, at least now players know where thay stand, if there hand is exposed and theres still chips then their hand is dead

Dani, did you get my  PM and also did you get my faxed membership form?

it is birmingham i am supposed to be flying too isnt it?

just i noticed you took your over half to east midlands

Yes m8, Birmingham!

thats good cause thats where my flight is landing

ok, what time do you get in and have you got a hotel sorted

i need to sort out my hotel now any recomendations of hotel that close to casino with wheelchair access?

flight arrives in the middle of the night (for a poker player) 11:25am means me getting out of bed around 5 am looks like i will need plenty of coffee at the start of the comp and a baseball bat round the head to wake me up around midnight

oh yeah is wallsall a grovenor or gala? i better sort out membership

Will this sell out.

11.25am, bloody hell Ironside. Ok Ill pick you up about 12 (allow half an hour for traffic/oversleeping)

Dont know any hotels, I only live about 40 minutes away so I always go home. See the start of this thread, that hotel is close but you will have to ring them about access

Im going to Walsall tonight, I can ask there and let you know, by the way, do you want me to put you in?

yes

staying in the villagehotel just booked

as long as we get to casino in plenty of time i should be able to pay myself in no problem

now all we need to do is work out where the nearest lap dancing club with wheelchair access is

About 40 minutes away and you get a free cup of tea.

That's if you like lap dancers with facial hair

Whats all this "we get to casino" and "we find a lap dancing club?" Im going home to bed m8, I have a tournament to win!

Well I do have a nice off the shoulder dress.....

its the royal we

i think i might be getting a few hours sleep myself otherwise i wont be awake long enough to start the comp

Hmm let's not go there again.

Jim R - yes, it may well sell out. Can you get across to Luton and buy in there? If not, call or e-mail me, I will see what I can sort.

Ironside - it's a Grosvenor, but I am sure one of us can sign you in as a guest. An undesirable guest maybe, but a guest.

i've printed off the form see if i can fax it thru during the week

The Aberdonian and the Stranger.....
One bright sunny day, an Aberdonian was riding his horse into town with his dog and his sheep along beside them. They came across a stranger who was traveling in the opposite direction, and began the following conversation:

Stranger: "Hey, that's a cool dog you've got there. Mind if I speak to him?"

Aberdonian: "The dog disnae talk."

Stranger: "Hey dog, how's it going?"

Dog: "Doin' alright."

Aberdonian: Look of shock.

Stranger: "Is this man your owner?" (pointing at Aberdonian)

Dog:: "Yep"

Stranger: "How does he treat you?"

Dog: "Real good. He walks me twice a day, feeds me great food, and Takes me to the loch once a week to play."

Aberdonian: Look of total disbelief.

Stranger: "Mind if I talk to your horse?"

Aberdonian: "My horse disnae talk."

Stranger: "Hey horse, how's it going?"

Horse: "Cool."

Aberdonian: Extreme look of shock.

Stranger: "Is this your owner?" (pointing at Aberdonian)

Horse: "Yep"

Stranger: "How's he treat you?"

Horse: "Pretty good, thanks for asking. He rides me regularly, brushes me down often, and keeps me in a shed to protect me."

Aberdonian: Total look of utter amazement.

Stranger: "Mind if I talk to your sheep?

Aberdonian: "The sheep's a liar and I've never heard of lap dancers".

Watch out Red-Dog, you have a rival in the "Top blonde Comedian" stakes.

Who, by the way, was the Aberdoniian?

Well there is an Aberden supporter with a lap dancer fixation. Can't say I blame him though, the fixation that is (unforgivable to be an Aberdeen man)

Perhaps....But I wont be sending you a huge bill

Seriously though, I love Rob's humour. He has such a comand of the english language (as you might expect)

His jokes are like Jean Georges Vongerichten making you a jam sandwich, you enjoy the presentation as much as the content

I enjoy the abilty to cut and paste.

So do I, how else am I going to spell "Jean Georges Vongerichten" ???

Tomorrow is going to be a great laugh, can't wait.

Good news: I am now off to see a blonde skanie
Bad news: It's dyed, I can see the roots and she is my dentist

If you can tell her hair is dyed, your in that chair the wrong way up

Stop it Red-Dog. I am in a foul mood today, & you keep making me laugh. I dont want to laugh. So shut it, eh?

Ok,will do, have to go and mend me car anyway

By the way, are you a deffo for Luton tonight

guys i am think of going for an early night in about 10 miniutes as i have to be up at 5 am

"mend me car". Your use - abuse indeed - of the English language is appalling. It's "mend MY car".

And please make the response better than "ah, so your car needs fixing too"......

Oops, forgot. Me am is going to Luton tonight. Almost definitely probably. Is that OK with yous?

yous- now I know with that tache he looks a bit like the bloke from boys in the blackstuff but are you suggesting he is a scouser?

Hope you guys enjoy the tourney over the next few days see you there!

Alas i cannot go to Walsall this weekend.

Work stops me unfortunately.

Spread the gospel for the Big Weekend Guys.

Dani,

Many seats left, & what is capacity? Mate of mine wants to play it, but he cant get there until 7pm Saturday - is it worth him bothering? (Long drive for him).

Can we buy in for your comp at Luton tonight?

You should be able to Tikay.

Use your CELEBRITY MIGHT and make em.

HEHEHE

Yogi

I once bought Rumit in at Luton for a comp the following week. You were NOT perrmitted to buy in for another person at the time, & maybe still aint for all I know.

Name? Rumit.

What comp? The 300.

310 please. OK

At which point, Matey Boy arrives, & seeing the ticket for Rumit on the desk, says "there's a thing, I was on the beach with Rumit yesterday morning in St Marteen, he's decided to stay there for another week...."

I slunk away, & thought I'd got it through, until the PA system boomed out "Rumit to Cash Desk, Rumit to Cash Desk". Look away, I think, dont react. Then "Mr Kendall to Cash Desk". No wonder I cant get bluffs through. Not that I ever try, you understand.

Oh no! I read this just before i went out. There was I, mouth open and still managing to grin, she thinks I'm a bit "touched" I fear.

I hope to get down mid afternoon, if I can, to try the sat for th evening event. If I don't make that, then what time will I really NEED to get to Walsall?

Ah you prob still ain't.

i guess that might be a Draw Back to your Celebrity. You can't pretend to be the person you are buying in. But then again you would fiond it difficult to pass as a Rumit.

HEHEHEHE.

Yogi.

Passing for somebody famous is also a problem, look at me... young, virile, most of my own teeth and hair, no way could I say I am tikay and get away with it.

Right, thats me car ment

How did you "ment" it? Was it a wallop with a hammer, I believe they call that "Percussive Engineering"
