blonde poker forum

well i joined the forum recently, this is my first post and have just won 1650 dollars (a big deal for a poor, recently graduated student like myself)  in the 7.5k on ladbrokes.

this forum must have inspired me.

cheers

good effort - good result and welcome. - you from the Isle of man then?

Welcome to the forum Rachman,  congrats on the good result. 

Now onto the serious side, did you read the T&C's before registering ?  As you will see, any new member making cash in a tourny must now give 10% of their winnings to Ironsides lap dancing fund.  :D

Enjoy the forum and welcome to the "family"

Cheers
Kev.

wow missed that ok that means all of you owe me millions

well my 10% comes to exactly $6.75 lol

is that a registered charity????? also i'm concerned about the quality of these lapdancers.....

and god's greatest nation is vastly under-represented on the internet... therefore i have to shout my nationality loudly wherever i go.... just to improve the situation

Yes we do have less than our fair share of 3 legged men and cats with no tails... mind you , I blame the Jocks, they have far exceeded the EU directive on "foreign" members ;)

Hey and WELCOME Rachman,

Nice result there. I've just this week come out of retirement from online poker but can't say It's been anything other than a misery. Will soon be hanging up my mouse again for another 6mths!

Keep it up!

Thats it....i`ll be down flinging haggis at your windows and getting amateur pipers to play at yer front door :-*

and welcome...

Welcome to the Forum, YOU ARE NOT ALONE SIR!!! Our moto seems even more apt in this section of life, thing is, I am doubting it cuz I don't land on my feet very often!!!!!!

So that's where my $30 went !

Welcome to the forum, and it's only a loan.

Hi Rachman, you got a typical blonde welcome. Mad, utterly mad, the lot of them.

You a landlord by any chance? There used to be one by that name.....

ur really showing ur age with that comment tk.


ps  welcome rachman.

cheers all

the name is a result of poker sites saying Rachmaninov was too long. and Rachmanino didn't quite have the same ring to it.

being a landlord has always been a long held dream though.......

No no no. THAT Rachman was not a pub landlord, he rented out houses.

Then tripled the rent. Then harassed the tenants. Threw things throuigh their windows. But he never had to resort to solicitors letters, he was slightly more "direct".

But one of his tenants sent HIM a letter, "Dear Mr Rachman, in reply to your undated brick......."

Mr Rachman - THAT Mr Rachman - then spent 20 years or more at HMP.

.. and to continue the trivia. Rachman's activities brought Rachmanism into the English language, made Parliament bring in new laws. Worst of all he had a henchman called Rondell who was sentenced to lenghty period in clink after coming second in his trial and then tried to sue his lawyer, now THAT is really bad.

lol i did mean housing landlord tk... sitting on my arse watching the money roll in without having to lift a finger... except to call a plumber, or throw a brick.

still, taking extortionate amounts of money from people new to the area... apt really when you think about it

I really should have heard of Mr. Rachman though, having studied criminology. must have been one of those lectures i missed due to an unfortunate poker addiction.

Strangely enough, around 1970, "Mad" Fred Rondell used to run a private game in London near Earl's Court.

He used to give me credit when I went skint there which was a regular occurrence.

One of the scariest times of my entire life was when Fred and a friend came round to have a "chat" with me about my debt !

I believe I was fortunate to still have two of everything after our "business discussion".

Oh those halcyon days of the early '70's.

P.S.

"Mad" Fred Rondell was Peter Rachman's "collector" who had a penchant for biting off people's ears.

I didn't realise that he stooped to sueing his legal team ! ::)

Whahoo, GREAT story Karabiner. Was there two Rachmans - maybe a brother? They/he sure never bothered with solicitors letters! Nasty, nasty. I seem to recall a 20 year prison sentence.

There was a geezer in Sussex recently of a similar ilk, weird name, I forget it. On second thoughts, I remember it, but it would be better if I forgot it.

Nicholas van Hoogstraten is the chap, about as evil as they come. Oh and it's not libelous as 1. it's true and 2. he seems to acknowledge it, he lawyer does as well.

Hoogstraten - that's him. May not be libellous, but I fancy he just sends a geezer round to your house with an undated brick, delivered via your Window-Box.
