Neeko,

Thanks for your comments. It was refreshing to find somebody who has a half decent thing to say about Mr McCool. I was starting to think that some sort of "brainwashing" had gone on at blonde and that Mick McCool had become the next "Public Enemy No.1"

Poker - its only a game.

Chilli,

Thankyou for posting a reply and I take on board all the things you have commented on. i just find it so sad that people who sit across the table from each other 3-4 nights a week end up talking about each other this way. in my honest opinion I do not feel Micky meant any malice, and that you have every right as an individual to defend yourself.

I also read the comments he made about "Lucy", which was quite "frank" and also many many months if not years ago. Is he always going to be wearing this label as a "trash talker." if this is the case I feel quite sad and disappointed in the nature of certain individuals.

Laxie,

You also do not see the point I am trying to make. If your most favourite comedian came to dinner, lets say Billy Connolly and he made a "dis respectful comment about your cooking in a humourous way, you would all fall about laughing.

Anybody who really knows Mr McCool, a happy go lucky "tinker" type personality, who cracks jokes at every opportunity would know he mean't no malice.

Its seems so very sad that his comments were taken out of context.

AndrewT,

I wouldn't call "as slow as a tractor on the M25 in rush hour" a "rant". As far as I am concerned he made an "off the cuff" comment, a "glib" remark at worse. To be called vile and gruesome is a bit strong.

Laxie,

Why am i here ?

I am obviously stupid. I thought this was a forum to express my "own" views.

To be quite honest after being called "vile" and "gruesome" on a public forum I could think of quite a few words Micky could have used. The quote about the graveyard and the corpses again I found quite funny.

The problem I have about all this negative posting is that if "Micky " had called Chilli "vile" or "gruesome" he would have been stringed up by the nearest tree by now.

I have been a member of Blonde Poker from the very beginning, and although I generally do not post my views I am an avid reader everyday.
To be honest I am totally disappointed, and in a couple of cases disgusted at the treatment given out to Mick McCool.

For those who do not know Mick, He is a shortish, chubby, ginger headed irish chap who like most from the emerald isle has a great sense of humour. I have read the first comment he made about the updates on the GUKPT in Brighton and to be quite honest I fell about laughing as I found it quite funny, actually very funny. I sat next to him in a cash game at DTD last night and he brought the table to life with his joviality. I cannot beleive that the comments he made about the updates were "personal" in a vindictive way.

I have also read some of the comments made by "Chilli" regarding Mr McCool. The  word "vile" in my opinion should be reserved for the likes of Ian Huntley, Peter Tobin etc, "despicable" for the likes of those who prey on the old or weak. Mr McCool DOES NOT deserve to be treated this way.

There have been comments made by members who have never laid there eyes on "Micky", one being "drunken rants". I would just like to state that I have never seen "Micky" drunk and certainly never seen him abuse anybody verbally.

Maria, you know me. I am the guy who always smiles, says hello, sits down and plays poker the only way i Know, like Roulette, get busted out, shakes everybody's hand and say "Good Luck" . I am surprised by your comments and quite frankly think there must be some personal dislike between the two of you. Maybe there is some personal "history" between yourselves but the Blonde Poker forum is not the place to use some of the words you have written.

I beleive and apology should be made.

Definition: "FORUM" a meeting or medium for an exchange of views.

In my opinion there are members on this forum "the chosen ones" who can basically say what they want without the "unbiased" moderators jumping in, and yet there are members who in my opinion, and yes it is only my opinion that get crucufied every time they post.

Finally, all of the great work put in by the Updaters was undone by members just slagging off Mick.

I thoroughly enjoy the updates especially when I am unable to attend the tournaments, but am becoming increasingly concerned regarding the content and "style" in which some of the topics are written.

Great news !

I would like to play poker at Dusk Til Dawn because I would like to play in a safe, legal environment without the distactions of Casino house games.

RED DOG, How were your flights back from Vienna

Snoops, please wish Jen all the best from me and Nicola, watching and reading quiely, wish I had flown from Vienna to Monte Carlo with you guys

Anybody thinking of travelling to a european event, please think twice before booking with KLM,

Birmingham departure - delayed 1 hour

Amsterdam connection flight - delayed 1 hour

Arrive in Vienna - No Luggage

Vienna departure - delayed 1 hour

Amsterdam departure - delayed 2 hours

I'm here in Amsterdam airport still waiting.

Tikay,

just sat here contemplating whether to book flights to Vienna, if I fly British Airways from Manchester on Wed morning I arrive at 3.00pm, will I have enough time to clear customs and make it to the Super satelitte at 5.00pm.
