Hi Greg,

Hope you are well.

Robert Earnshaw - would that be the former Brentford striker? Some real greats passed through the Bees Academy.

Is the right answer, no Earnshaw is Welsh and started at Cardiff. Then has played for West Brom, Norwich, Derby and Notts Forest.

T'was grand to see Jim McShane (77dave) back at Luton last night, though it must have been something of a culture shock for him to get used to UK Casino Tournament "Management", Valet Service, & food.

He ordered his traditional fayre of chips, cheese & baked beans, & whatever it as they served him up would have got negative points on the Fry-Up Thread (started by Chip Prince I'm led to believe), it looked thoroughly disgusting. Ah well, he'll be back in Vegas soon, & very pleased so to be, I would imagine.

And he got something of a battering early doors in the DC game, missing every flop, & the OutDraw Gods were on his case big time.

But then he managed a big "scoop", which pretty much got him out of it I think - after being down plenty.

Nice to see you Jim, & I hope your luck is better tomorrow.

OK, I gotta go do some jobs. Go home, go to Tesco's, write my well-overdue Blog, & reply to a whole bunch of PM's which I'm behind with.

I need a holiday I think, I've sort of lost my discipline with e-Mails & PM's, & gone a bit stale. I'm usually bang up to date with them, but right now, I'm floundering.

It will surprise many, & cause mirth to more, but many of the Sky players write to me for poker advice, (I know, I know...) & I reply to every one. But it's quite awkward to dispense advice in writing, I find. One wrote to me this week & asked what are the best poker books for a novice to read - and that's not a two line answer by any stretch of the imagination. I'm not into poker tuition books, there are - imo - better altererntives by which to learn - but it's hard to convey that accurately in writing short of a 20 minute reply. Not replying, or not replying properly, are not acceptable to me.

I really wish I could type properly, life would so much easier. At work, I dictated all my stuff into a dictaphone, reams & reams of it, & it came back an hour or so later beautifully typed up. I did receive an offer from someone recently to do my typing, but I said "no thanks Iron, I'll manage".

You are right, I apologise. I confused Robert Earnshaw with Dean Holdsworth - an easy mistake to make, I'm sure you'll agree.

Message to Claw, Robert, Matt674, & gatso.

I sent your names to Matchroom for tonight's Launch Party on Wednesday or Thursday of this week, but although I exchanged several notes with Eddie Hearn, neither Beju (who PM'd the Invite to me) or Frank Smith (who e-Mailed the Invite) replied.

So I've sent another e-mail to Frank today, & another PM to beju (via his blonde name "MATCHROOM SPORT) confirming the details. I copied the e-Mail & PM to all of you. The e-Mail to Frank Smith contains the details for tonight - time, address, etc.

Enjoy!

cheers tony. matt and claire probs won't see this before the event as she's dragged him out shopping but they already have the address as does robert

Correct - note the similar shirt colours. And both have two-syllable surnames.

I rest my case.

I left quite early, so not got any gossip for you - Jon 'the hat' emdubya is probably your man for gossip.  there are a couple of pics on the competition thread.

Grandad, how you getting on with your PMs?
