Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

[Dingdell]

From the Big Meet, it was straight into the Studio for "Table-Talk", a Pilot derivative of The Club.

In the Chair was Matt Broughton,. & the Guests were Tracey Dell, Liv Boeree, & Eddie Hearn.

The debate was about "Women Only" Poker Tourneys, &, naturallly, got a bit lively.

We all know Tracey can articulate well, & Liv came across well too.

But Eddie Heard was astounding. He's incredibly perceptive, & debates with great skill, wit, & has the nous to make points that puncture the toughest of arguments. He's a strikingly handsome man, more at home in softs than Suits, & very comfortable in his body & mind. I'm amazed that a millionaire's son could turn out so well. He'll make more money than his Dad, time he's done.

From that, which ended at 5pm, it was straight into a Promo, which only took 5 minutes.

Richasrd Orford did the identical Promo straight after me (we all have to do one) & it was 10 times better. So I asked if I could re-do mine, taking advantage of watching Richard do it properly, & they agreed, phew.

I introduced Richard Orford to Dingdell afterwards, & they got on like a house on fire, gabbling away like old women for half an hour or more. I'm really pleased that Richard Orfodd is coming to bB6, I think he'll be incredibly well-received, & he has superb people skills.

Mind you, he looks pretty gormless & smarmy in this pic. Does the camera never lie?

Richard Orford is the bees knees. As he has a natural flair for putting Tikay down we have arranged various catagories of leg pulling that can be dipped into during BB6.  They include incontinence, age in general, sight, sleep deprivation, mis reads etc etc. I feel that we have found the poker vesion of the irish man in any joke - I introduce to you TIKAY

For example 'How many Tikays does it take to change a light bulb?' etc etc

Feel free to add to this at any time.....

You are not wrong. But tonight he has to behave, as the Sky Sports Siumulcast remit is different. So I'm safe.

I suppose it's that grumpy old man thing. My intolerance to bad manners, lack of decorum, & social skills is less than it should be, I readily admit.

But you are tolerant when it's raining (unless your washing is on the line?). A lot of people are intolerant to bad weather, but there's no such thing as 'bad' weather, it's just weather right? I think rudenss can be compared to a rainy day. You don't encounter it every day, you can choose your attitude to it, and it makes you appreciate the sun more. Most of us would prefer a nice sunny day but sometimes it is going to rain.

Ultimately we know that the sunshine is more powerful and attractive than the rain though.

We just did the Five-O "pre-record". A pre-record is a little "insert" that goes at the top of the Show.

Everyone forgot to tell me it was a pre-record. Or maybe I forgot.

As usual in rehearsal, I was stood there, absent-mindedly adjusting my undercarriage, blissfully unaware that as Orford did his blathery bit, I was in shot. Orford was magnificent, he nailed the 45 second piece in one.

The recording was checked, & then it was noted that I'd been acting, well, sub-optimally.

Orford was merciless. "You can't even stand still, in thre background, without messing up".

Bloody prima-donna.

[jizzemm]

I think I may even have to get the old autograph book out with me to BB6.. I am going to be so star struck if I meet him.. 

[amcgrath1uk]

Already had a chat with good ol Mr Orford on facebook trying to cajole him into going to bb6 ( a good 6/8 weeks ago)

glad he's going, its going to be a stormer i think!

Tikay, your Luton reports really are getting bad all the key juicy pieces of info that you just to serve to us are being forgotten about.

Never mind Tikay's reports - what about your blog?!?! I was enjoying that! No posts for over a month - please carry on....please.....sir.

[turny]

tony please dont take my question the wrong way as im just curious and you may have answered this question elsewhere and if so i apologise. but here goes.....


did you ever pay michael maccool regards the bet u had ((£100 i think) that you would personally turn luton cardroom around within a month?
or do you see yourself as succeeding and if so has he paid you?
is this still one of your personal crusades or have you given up on the place other than the occasional visit.

  Mantis, you are a poet-  it's a good way to look at life and to make it easier to deal with the clowns (bad manners, lack of decorum etc)  we all come accrosss   Attitude is everything
