All the best for tonight Pops.

10 years? Bloody Hell, most A list movie stars don't last that long.


When are you going to write that book?

[Chompy]

Plum? It's burgundy! And you have to wear it. Long-term viewerers will expect nothing less.

Shame the show's going. Was a good watch back in the day, back when it was The Club followed by TheSwiss or GregHogg winning the open.

Also, a shame the studio was 'under repair' when my winner's journey was due to be on. You'd have loved analysing that. Burgundy or no burgundy.

Good luck tonight pops, I'll pay the highest complement ever and say 'you were like an actual TV presenter' and didn't look out of place with the professionals.

[Pompeynick]

Good luck tonight Tony.

[Nakor]

Good luck tonight old boy.
Will enjoy seeing the jacket one last time.

OK, I gotta go do some work, but I'll leave you with a question.

I chanced upon this place yesterday whilst up in London, it is in Finsbury Square, where rents & property values must be stratospheric.

And it begs several questions.

Liverpool has a University? Why, & for whom?

Why do they need premises in London?

How can they justify the cost of such grand premises in such a prestige location?  

What is the idea of a Uni having a separate base? Is there a Cambridge University in London?

Universities aren't just one off institutions these days you know. Many of them, Liverpool included are part of the 'Russell Group' so that link may have something to with the London arm. Many are actually global these days as well with campuses all over the world. Nottingham has campuses in China and Malaysia for example.

I don't think cost would be a major concern in having London premises. £510M turnover according to this: http://www.russellgroup.ac.uk/about/our-universities/university-of-liverpool/

Actually a little bit of surfing whilst typing has found this: https://www.liverpool.ac.uk/london/

If you look at the programmes they do they're all masters or post graduate courses in finance, law, accounting etc. basically all the things you'd want to do in London to make yourself a mint. I bet they can charge a fortune for them. Fantastic bit of business by the University by the looks of it.

Best of luck with the show tonight!

[Karabiner]

Break a leg tonight Tony you old luvvie.

[Tal]

Any chance you could do the impression of your favourite tube journey, please? I seem to recall this as a particular highlight of your time on 861. I could almost hear the gallery shouting "What is he doing?!"

- best and worst guests?
- who would you have loved to have on but couldn't get (apart from me and Doobs)?
- biggest diva?
- favourite inverview?
- closest near miss?

Have a great night.

It's been emotional.

Nice one Tikay, cracking show that and you got a lot of people into poker who wouldn't otherwise have made the transition.

This.

You guys really made the first intimidating steps so much easier. Whether it was the show, the forum or the live events Sky always took that 'douchebag 2+2 LOL at how you played your hand' mentality out of poker.
