Now I need to go get some headphones... I'm pushing it enough being on the forum all the time at work - playing a poker radio channel would maybe be a bit far 

[AlrightJack]

Old news, they've had this for 2-3 weeks. 

[Royal Flush]

yeah i think it launched on Sept 1, and its pretty crap.

[Colchester Kev]

I might have a listen to this later, i usually listen to cd's while on the PC, but a bit of poker related radio could be of interest...

24/7 of a 90 minute programme looped, I don't know whether they have changed it, but it got bloody annoying after a while.

[Trace]

It did launch at the beginning of September, and it was really trial and error at the time.

Flushy - saying it is crap, isn't very nice, host Kelly put her heart and soul into this, and she listened to our comments and changed it accordingly.

I will be the first to admit that the Poker Tips are very boring, but the music has been fantastic.  VC also plug Poker4Charity at regular intervals and that to me i fantastic.

Maybe I should email your comments to Kelly and see how long you have your chat for Mr Fish!!!!   

[Royal Flush]

oh no, please dont, what ever would i do without my chat. All those hours spent in the lobby will be gone....oh no wait i play on the site i dont chat on it!!

I said its pretty crap, which i stand by. I was approached to write some stuff to go on there before it launched and since it has gone live i have decided not to participate because i didnt want to be associated with it.


This is my personal opinion, if i want to listen to music i will use my ipod, if i want to listen to poor poker advice...Ironside is never far away!

Flushy thinks tact is something nothern thespians have to learn 

[Heid]

I've listened to this a few times and as I am usually crap at breaking out and listening to new types of music, it's pretty good - I like the mix they have. the poker tips are a bit boring, but I'd listen more if the presenter was a bit more enthusiastic!

isnt it?

Yes, all t actors in t north have to learn t act

(I think I'm trying to be too clever for my own good here) 

[Trace]

Flushy will never know the meaning of tact, and he should also know how protective I am of my friends....

As he never has anything interesting to say in the lobby anyway, we wouldn't miss his chat!

You're a flat fish next time I see you!   

[Royal Flush]

 

Red-Dog you should know that me and trace are friends. As we both are with Kelly.

I offered my opinion on it, when challanged i expanded on my reasoning, i hope it does improve for kelly more than anyone else!

P.S. You have to catch me first trace!

[RED-DOG]

I know that, I was trying to be funny and failed
