blonde & Patrick Murray - a Clarification

[Mango99]

Patrick Murray interviewed me for a tournament I played last year (Jonny Texas Invitational). He was the presenter for the final, and I thought he seemed like a decent enough guy. I'd seen Only Fools a few times, but was never a fan, and as such had never seen his character in the show.

I read Dana's post and couldn't see a single thing wrong with it. I think Dana (and the rest of the team) do a great job with the blonde updates. Of course there is artistic license and exaggeration here and there. It's rarely personal, and if it is (usually at Tikay's expense lol) it's all done in good nature.

So, don't worry Dana (and definitely don't be upset!), there is nothing wrong with your post. It's just someone being *extremely* over sensitive.

Your sponsor JT is a master of rubdowns and pisstaking at the felt so ffs don't be so touchy ( I have been on the recieving end of some of JT's comments and he can make even a diehard speachplay expert like myself feel uncomfortable). Tikay gets more stick than anyone on here with him being an old fart and other "minor" celebrities like Norm Pace (the short one who used to have a funny partner) and "beppe" take it in their stride so why can't you?

Rofl so so funny but true.

hey patrick,

it's norman pace here. as a minor tv celeb of the 80's myself, i am perhaps the only person on this forum, apart from m. greco who can fully understand the position from your point of view.

on this forum, my personal stature has been pilloried (a lanky 5'7"), it has been suggested that i used to be funny, and more to the point, various members of blonde truly believe that i think there are five 5's in a pack of cards. in summary that i am short, boring and stupid.

we faded, washed out, former somebodies are easy targets for the well educated, erudite and gifted updaters who scape a living by working their fingers to the bone at the coalface of poker.

to show how i feel about your treatment on this site, i promise that i will read this forum everyday, post when so moved and attend blonde bashes. that'll show 'em

i wish to remain anonymous. (please watch sky poker tonight. ch 846)

absolute f*cking class norman! see you can be funny when you try 

[ariston]

I think gareth must have written that post tbh though

[kinboshi]

I think Mrs P wrote that post.  Far too funny for Norman.

She's a better poker player too.

btw just have to ask...I watched fools and horses only occasionally (didn't think it was that funny...sorry) but just googled patrick murray in only fools and horses and don't remember him at all. Have I not been paying attention when watching it, or was he not in every episode?

[Ironside]

he was rodneys friend that was more a background character

always wanting to get in on a deal


del set him up to babysit at damian wedding

he made the bet with rodney over who would get a dance with cassandra

ah...never heard of him..but that's good..it  wouldn't be good if Dana had upset David Jason, Patrick Stewart, Barry from Eastenders, Big Bird or Micheal Greco or someone like that ...you know...a proper big name actor that I actually would have known from something...and she would have had to punch him in the face...or spit at him ..on purpose..while calling his mother all sorts of names..

that would have been bad...but a general post about poker players taken out of context by an over sensitive bit part actor who these days can probably only get support act jobs in third rate panto's in sheds in the Highlands which are being promoted as starring "that bloke who does commercials for Civic bang" (because Barry Scott (see? I know who HE IS!!) draws bigger crowds...atleast 15 me thinks... than he does.

nah that's ok.

[sledge13]

Patrick Murray seemed a friendly likeable bloke when I met him at a Poker club in the Costa Del Sol. Didnt act above his station and had a laugh at the table...but of course you have to take the stick with a pinch of salt, thats part of the poker crack.

Great post from Norman, and he gets his fair share of the proverbial, I genuinley loved Hale & Pace...Sunday nights bring em back!!!! and your golf show was great from the Costal Del Sol as ive played on a lot of them...you still play out there Norm?

[JungleCat03]

Hale and Pace was brilliant!

Those two together were great, that undefinable chemistry that the best double acts have.

I remember meeting Norman a few times at the Vic where he came across as a really affable guy, even when he was having the piss taken out of him for his wife schooling him at poker in that particular comp!

Don't ever feel unloved Norman, there's a generation of folks who think you're the dog's particulars.

but Norman, if you could get Les Dennis to sign up instead of you that would be great.

Cheers
