[kinboshi]

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

Cheers

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?

Agreed, great program.  Norman, I'm staying near Alhaurin Golf and Lauro Golf in a few weeks, do you know them? What you reckon?

better hope that scott harrison isnt around causing trouble in the local brothels....

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?

did you know that dutch tv (RTL) actually made their own version of OFAH, called Wat schuift? which I believe means whats it worth....


I'm sure that was funnier

[I KNOW IT]

I have really tried to resist posting on this thread as a regular poster here and also becoming a friend of Pats over the last year,I didnt want to get involved.
I know nothing of the phone conversation between Tikay and Pat nor do I want to, but after Tikays responce (clarification)
I hope its put to bed.

I decided to post after what I feel is becoming a thread against Pats personality or character when Not one of you really know him, to think hes pretentious or likewise couldnt be further from the truth.
Last week he was asked to sign about a dozen autographs not once objecting and often chatting to them answering lots of questions about Fools & Horses,while we were in Vegas last year he was regulary stopped and asked to pose for a photo never once refusing( I bet some of the so called " celebrities" on here wish they were even recognised away from these shores)

Its been made clear that Dana wasnt intending anything against Pat and I really hope its all sorted now.

Some people have mentioned that if you play poker you have to accept a lot of pisstaking ,I should know I give out most of it, but if its not your cup of tea then no you shouldnt have to accept it.
The banter which goes on between blonde members is great and thats why this place is special but  pisstaking of non members who may never read this forum and therefore have no defence is not ok.

I really enjoy the creative writing of the updaters and truly hope this missunderstanding has been put to bed.

Please can I first up apologise completely and unreservedly for any offense caused to Mr Murray by my post. I posted in good faith, and my intention was never in any wise to offend a player who is clearly a familiar and well-liked face to many.

Someone did call out "split pot" before the river was dealt, but my understanding of that was that they were announcing that a split pot had become a possibility, not that they were somehow willing Mr Murray to lose. Mr Murray evidently read a different kind of nuance into this than the one I meant to convey, so big apologies to him for this.

Secondly, my comment about the shirt was in no way directed at Mr Murray. I had an honest, innocent question for the forum readers regarding what sponsored players did in longer events - I was honestly curious as to whether players in epic 5-day-or-more-type events received more than one shirt (thanks for clearing that up, Karabiner!). Regular forum readers will know that random questions occur to me all the time, and I generally just go ahead and ask them without necessarily considering all the possible implications of my actions. The possibility of Mr Murray taking this as a personal slight simply did not occur to me, and I am of course mortified that he may have taken it as such.

I have never met Mr Murray face-to-face and I am not familiar with his acting work, but I have now heard from a variety of poker- and non-poker-related sources that he is an all-round Top Bloke. Mr Murray, I would like to buy you a drink at the next event we both attend, just to show, you know, no hard feelings.

Staying in Alhaurin El Grande where Harrison's villa is.  However, I'm not a Glaswegian, Policeman or Spanish brothel owner so he probably won't try to beat me up.

Ooh, I don't really know...

Massive respect to you Dana- Though i like most of Blonde feel you need to offer no apology- However on a genuine note i do have a complaint about your updating...

When you photograph me playing can you-

A- Photoshop a bigger stack in front of me
B- Paintshop me a full head of stylish hair
C- Make me look about 4 stone lighter
D- Arrange for a rail of gourgeous adoring fans behind me

Not to much to ask i think.... don't make me phone Tikay...

dana has been brave enough to post her views and apologies (for what i dont know)

waiting with anticipation.....

[vinni]

dana made an apology ,which i didn't think she really needed to do .

pat is a nice bloke who looked at things the wrong way .

Barry you are right. Whilst Some other British TV comedies were good in the 80s, Only Fools really was peerless. Particularly the chandelier scene. and the falling into the bar scene. and that other one.

Only Fawlty Towers exceeds it in my book, but to be really sceptical that was down the comedic genius of Cleese and Cleese alone.
