Hijacking for the inane is probably ok, hijacking for the controversial, when it's already been discussed ad nauseum elsewhere is probably bad.

Get yer hankies out lads


He used to give me roses
I wish he could again
But that was on the outside
And things were different then

We build our world together
With a love so clear and strong
But that was on the outside
Where did I go wrong?

On the inside the sun still shines
And the rain falls down
But the sun and rain are prisoners too
When morning comes around

Last night I dreamed we were together
Sharing all the love we've known
Till I had to face the nightmare
Of waking up alone

On the inside the sun still shines
And the rain falls down
But the sun and rain are prisoners too
When morning comes around

On the inside the roses grow
They don't mind the stony ground
But the roses here are prisoners too
When morning comes around

He used to give me roses
I wish he could again
But that was on the outside
And things were different then

Scratch that, hijacking for the inane is probably bad too

Most memorable line?

Jock: 'Now then Judy, lets see what those years in the massage parlour taught you'!

Hell of a programme. Chrissy Latham

and 'Mad Frankie' (atleast I think that was her name...creepy character)

Good old wentworth, http://www.wwwentworth.co.uk/charindx.htm

always worth catching up on the characters you forgot.

I love the guy.

Too many folk in this game lack personality and are put off by loudmouths, its a skill.  I love the table talk.

Sure he hands out a few rub downs but I am sure he would take it back if given it.

if being an obnoxious clown is a skill, im George W Bush!

there is no denying he's an idiot who should be banned form the game IMO

You spoke to him or those who know him at great length and depth to ascertain his motivation for this act....
...or you merely impose your preconceived notion of "why Tony G is a selfish bum" on anything he does?

I can understand the controversy surrounding his table actions, but when he makes a charitable act and gets slammed for that too, then it's just transparant victimisation. Not that Tony will give a toss i'm sure but it sure is a bad attitude.

Nice one Tony, congratulations for the great result and your generosity.

its a forum and people are entitled to there opinion, and to debate.

i agree with Pondy on this one, hes trying to buy back some dignity IMO, and he's gone far to far to start that!

Ill stay off this thread now, as its bad blood over charity donation, but ill still not change my mind on him.

This just isnt true, I remember him pledging half of his winnings to charity if he won a televised shoot out that was held in England a couple if years ago, I think it was a party poker touney, and this was BEFORE the two infamous incidents of bad etiquette.

having just read through all this ,i feel i need to have a say.
last year in Barcelona i was having a meal with Simon now ab,  burley john ,Kevin O'Connell ,George Garry ,etc etc etc when tony g came walking in the restaurant ,we invited him to join us ,all i can say is you lot who are slating him down for his actions on the tables have never met him .
                                                             hes a propper gent offered to pay the bill ,but we wouldn't hear of it we gave that honer to George g .his actions on the table are all for show ,look at mike the mouth hes ten times worse than tony, any way well done tony ,the result says it all.

I was on a table with Tony G right near the end with Jani Sontula, when he sat down I was expecting a few players to recieve abuse but he was very polite and seemed to warm to the Singapore players.  This was my first big tournament and I was hoping to learn a fair bit but it was mainly raise pass pass and I didn't really get much information.  He raised my blind a couple of times but he showed me his pairs when I showed my rags, I was actually thinking how to respond if I made a bad play and he started giving me a slating but I never even got any half decent hands to get involved with!

Solution: delete posts that are simply posted to stir crap and hijack threads. You cannot say “thank you” or “well done” now without some clever **** being funny.

there is a very important man, running America, that shares your views on withdrawing people civil rights.

I cant see any post on this thread that has been started by a known troll, to try and shir crap. Would you like to point some out? Or would you rather just delete my post instead?

Dunno, depends if you want everythead to turn into a flame fest or not byron by these people?

Twice i have made this point, and both times its at the end of a thread that turned into a stupid negative thread as a result of people showing no respect.

Respect is a very good thing to bring up in a Tony G thread.....why should he be shown respect, when he shows very little to others on loads of documented occasions, treat others as youd like to be treated yourself mate.
