yes, I was taximan007, there were a few 'taximan' playing

I started playing 2003/4 and the highlight was obviously qualifying for the 2004 cruise (1st one), I recognise all the names you mention and of course there were a lot more, although got to be honest and say I don't recognise yours.

A couple of othere were RACH (a guy) and starmac2004 both whom I got to meet at Torquay Casino

I had some great times on Laddies and made many good friends (most i have never met).

One of the top people was without doubt Micky147 (Marky's dad) I met Micky and Lizzie on the cruise and following on from that he ran some tournaments at his snooker club of which he was kind enough to invite me to, a real Genleman in all senses.

Such good memories....................

I think I was on that Cruise, too - was it the one where there was a godawful storm on the first night @ sea, & everyone was spewing @ the tables? Literally.

[taximan007]

I remember your name from laddies.

Laddies was very good to me. I could never put in the volume to get high up the leader boards as I work full time, but I shipped all the main weekly tourneys at least one on there, some more than once.  

[Karabiner]

I was Titteryenot on Laddies and must have played every night for about five years on there.

I remember Mickey147 well and used to ask who was playing the account that night Mickey or Marky.

ActionJack is one of the only guys I know who types as fast as he talks and he talks fast. He was absolutely hilarious in the chat-box, the perv.

My best week on there was when I came 4th in both The Daddy on Tuesday and the Sunday $100k.

[taximan007]

I use to love watching actionjack chat, so many people just never got him!!!

I was very rarely a big winner in MTTs but I did ok on the SnGs, the thing I really remember is the regular 'big winners' like AJ, Sealey, yes even Red Dog ALWAYS had time to chat and answer sensible questions in a positive way something I was always grateful for.


Tikay: the cruise sailed out of Venice, not sure about the storm but I was pretty pissed after the welcome party thrown by Laddies

He he. Look what us old duffers have started now.

Ahh, different Cruise, the one I referred to sailed out of Miami. Probably 2005, or thereabouts. Even then, I was being given freebies.

I was, ostensibly, there to blog, & write puff articles for Laddies on a Daily basis.  But once we set sail, & with limited wifi capacity, they refused to allow me use of the wifi. So I ended up writing articles every single day - quite decent ( by my standard, too) - but not one ever saw the light of day.

5 or 6 days into the Cruise, Jesse May (associated with Laddies then) told me that the Laddies Cruise Manager had complained that I had not published any stuff, so he felt I was freeloading. I explained why, he said he would get back to me. That was the last I heard.

Low point of the cruise was Devilfish doing a "turn" on the last night, with his guitar. Norman Pace was the resident entertainer, as I recall.

I had not planned to play the Main Event, it was $5,000 or whatever, but several friends suggested that they would like buy some of my action, & soon, 75% was sold. I busted the Tourney on Day one, & my biggest investor, for 25%, failed to pay up. Win some, lose some.

Its fun to dream what it was like back then 

[millidonk]

I also played on Laddies, I played as BigSpike before they merged and i was forced to change my name. Did well on the money front and made it high up on the leaderboards a few times.

Other names i remember that i haven't seen people mention: shedboymuff, VISA2005 and new1home.

Wildrick is responsible for the worst beat i have ever taken deep in a biggie i flopped a boat with kk on kjj flop, he got it in with aq, I actually laughed at my screen.. turn j, river j. geeeeeg. Obv i still haven't forgot it 8yrs later..

So true Woodsey. On that cruise tikay a friend of ours Tiger Lilly from hull had a rather nasty accident and ended up trying to take laddies to court over it. Seabass was the golden girl at the time and it was no suprise that Norman was the entertainment. Never went on a cruise due to the fact I have been ill every single time I have been on a ferry. Must have made 50 ferry crossing and am 50 for 50 from being I child when my dad was in the army in Germany and we would drive back to the uk a couple of times a year through to my adult life were I would go to match fishing festivals to Ireland a couple of times a year. The sea can be like a mill pond and it still does not stop me being sick

[Karabiner]

Because my name was titteryenot every time I was on the same table as a scandie player named marton I used to call him matron a la carry on movies. He of course didn't get it but all the brits found it hilarious.

Marton thought I was his best buddy on there.

I remember VISA2005 well I used to play with him a lot, also punkfloyd, bigTR, and strummer.

IIRC, it was "c-bass", not seabass, but I may be wrong. (Norman Pace's wife, Bev). She does a tremendous amount of charity work these days, for children with epilepsy.

I bumped into Big TR only last week, can't recall where. He's not changed one bit.
