Had tony confirmed he's playing?

We need a statement from our Hero  !

Pretty sure he has tried in the politest was possible to tell us that he wont be taking up this offer. Happy for him to confirm otherwise obv.

Ha!

Spooky timing.

I find this thread......awkward, embarrassing....& lovely, all at once.

I've been trying to find the words to reply for some time now. I had rather hoped that Tom might rescue me - he's better with words, & so I rung him up to ask him a few weeks back.

After the usual formal niceties, he said "So, stop waffling, what do you want?"......

So we discussed this thread - yet again - & Tom said he would deffo NOT be going to Vegas this year, so could not assist me with a well-worded response which best explains how we both feel about it.

Meanwhile, I was waiting for next door to let me know what, if anything, they needed of me in Vegas this year. The reply was a LONG time coming, but right out of the blue, a week or two ago, they asked me if I would go to Vegas for the WSOP Main to do a bit of work, just filming mainly. I asked if they would object, if, by chance, I happened to find myself able to play the WSOP Main, & they seemed to think.....it would be a good idea, & they'd probably make a little documentary thing.

So I'm going to Vegas, yes, & I would be available to play the Main if I wished.

Now it gets even more awkward......more shortly, bear with me please.

That's brilliant, really thought it was touch and go this year

It genuinely was touch & go, & I was not at all sure what the score was.

I'll try & update everyone with the position today. I AM going to Vegas though.

[tonytats]

Never in doubt IMO

Today is over.

It is now tomorrow.

[booder]

Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.

[tikay]

Today has arrived, a little late. I've found this all a bit awkward, to be honest.

Well.......yes, I'm incredibly grateful for the interest shown.

After some serious ditherage, I've reached the point where I need to make the decision. I watched some WSOP 2012 footage on TV the other day, & I'm bound to say, my appetite was whetted.

I WILL be in Vegas during the Main Event, working, as usual, but next door have said they are cool with me playing it if I wish, & am able. In fact much of my "work" there this year during the Main will consist of filming it, such as we are allowed, so if I were to play it, it would be OK. You may even see me donking off your money, & there'll deffo be daily interviews.

So yes, if the offers remain on the table, I'd love to accept.

Think the admin might get complicated, & many of those who originally pledged a % may now be under it, unable or unwilling to still donate, or fell out with me over Mod matters, or simply because I get more obdurate, feisty & crotchety in my imminent dotage.

So, perhaps the best way forward is to first summarise those who originally pledged to buy a stake, which I will do shortly.

If you no longer wish to be involved, no offence taken whatsoever.

If you do.......Heaven help you....please just indicate your continued interest, & what % you wish, & I'll then send you my Bank Deets.

I must just say a word or two about the OP, Greeky. Down the years, he has caused blonde a headache or two, to put it mildly, but one thing he has never been is a troll, for which I would not forgive him. He's just an awkward sod. In fact, since he started the thread, "blonde matters" caused some stress between us, (don't even ask, it is private between he & I) quite normal really in the every day tug of war between Members & Mods I suppose. Not entirely sure where he & I stand right now, but if we are cool, that's cool. And if we are not.....





Thank you.
