Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

[JamesHartigan]

Im sure it will please Tikay to hear that I wont be saying a silly word live on air - not out of respect I must add, simply because its no fun when the teacher knows what you are up to

Looking forward to it, Barry.  Hopefully, the blondeites will e-mail in some good questions for you :-)

[Chompy]

Grub Smith and Ashley Hames to present Sky Poker, and TV's Tony Kendall and James Cardigan to present Sin Cities in a straight swap deal?

Get your agent onto it please Tikay, would be great.

[Acidmouse]

Grub Smith did a lot of TV shows where he went to Sex districts across the world. I guess that's where he picked up his obsessions

[pokerfan]

Some of it still about on you tube.

Lol, I shared a table with Ashley at Fox Club recently, too.

What a pairing those two must make, OFCOM must have a field day.

Each to their own, I believe he's at PKR, & very much on-message for their target market.

If you don't read GreekSteins diary - & most do - you must read it today.

It's taken a most interesting turn, & includes the most (imo) thoughtful & long Post I've ever seen by Dubai.

A must read. Worry not, it is not full of Hand Histories, just good debate.

Wouldn't mind your input on it! Head is all over the shop atm

I will if you are serious, but I have quite strong views on it, & I really don't want to get into a flamefest with "the boyz". But you see things a little different at my age. It's a corking debate, though, & I nearly Posted at 8am today, "this will be the best day on Greeky's Diary ever". And it has been.

pls

[celtic]

And don't forget your best and worst interview....

To do.....

This PM;

"Teleshopping" Legal meeting at 3pm. OFCOM are horrifically strict, so need to get guidelines lined up for our new Show on Challenge TV. BIG complications caused vy legal differences for broadcasters in Northern Ireland, makes it an absolute nightmare to stay legally-compliant.
 
Return to 2+2 wearing my Sky Poker "Flame Me" hat.

I got banned by 2 + 2 for spamming Sky Poker, I simply went on there & answered questions directed to, or about, Sky Poker.

Worked very well, too, plenty sign-ups, but 2 + 2 banned me for spamming, until & unless Sky Poker took out a "pay to Post " Contract.  So we have.  Good business model, that. In return, we get a Sky Poker Banner, Affiliate Link, & I get the right to reply to any Sky Poker Questions, & generally spread the word. It's a fact I'll get beaten to a pulp by the kidz, but so be it. Blandy will help me, too, using the Company alias. What an eclectic range of tasks I get here, & that's half the attractrion, so many different things to do, & every single one of them outwith any skillset I possessed when I retured from, proper work.  Learning new stuuff at my age is pretty neat imo, & I've found it incredibly fulfilling. SAGA holidays will have to wait.

This PM - Do some prep work, here & next door, for my PTP Session tonight, & also tonight's blonde League. 8 or 10 asorted e-mails to send, too.

This evening;

Will be Online from 7pm until Midnight, & will play 2 "tikay" Tourneys (Sleepstack & TOTTY) as well as the Double Stack & TSP Classic.

Tomorrow;

Get up later than usual, work from my Hotel in the morning, have an early afternoon nap, then go to the Studio, prep & do a 30 mina pre-record, & the 4 hour Live Show, finish at Midnight.

Friday;  

At The Vic all day, with TSP. No idea what finish time, very late in all probability. A grueller, that one, busy doing nothing.

Saturday;

Late morning, Live Show in Evening from 9pm until 1am.

Sunday;

Back to The Vic if we still have any players left in, if not, go home, sort out stuff, have a rest day, & some "social" poker on Sunday at Luton probz.

Monday;

3 Meetings, & catch up on weekend's PM's, Texts, FB mesages, e-Mails.

Tuesday;

Record no less than SEVEN 30 minute Shows betwen 11am & 8pm.

Wednesday;

4 Telecons, PTP in the Evening.

Thursday - Live Show 8pm - Midnight

Saturday - Live Show, 9pm - 1am

Sunday - Live Show, 9pm - 1am.

Best & worst interviews.

[tikay]

OK, 30 mina before I start PTP, so I'm going into the lions den first, at Cos's invitation, to answer his question.

Cover me boys, I'm going in. I've got my flak jacket & tin helmet.

Never known how to feel about Grub Smith really.  Only seen his work on things like WSOPE or his former work on a poker mag.  A bit indifferent to him to be honest, however I was impressed by him on the recent Comic Relief Only Connect special.  They put him on the same team as Brian Sewell (well known Art Critic and general posh chappie) and I don't know whether or not it was specialised questions but Grub came off as much more intelligent over a broader span than Brian, who in fact looked quite dumb outside of his very narrow field of interest.  But like I say, the question may have been designed to do that, after all one of them was on Tic-tac.

No he is a quiz enthusiast, he runs his own pub quiz in london and has pitched a lot of quiz ideas to TV channels.
