Jim "The Celtic Tiger" Britton?

Allyin.

He was the Laddies pro 'celtictigr' when I first started playing poker.

You can see why they sponsored him:

Yeah when Coral Eurobet had a skin on party they were the only way you could get RB on party. Everyone i knew in the UK had an account through Jim on CE so he must have done pretty damn well.

Just a bit, he must have earned fortunes.

Eventually, after Coral became Coral Eurobet, I think they were taken over by Gala (?) & ended up with a name that was a right mouthful - Coral-Eurobet-Gala or somesuch.

Doubt I've seen him since the days of the original Gutshot.

[tikay]

Talking of Gutshot, I wonder what happened to their official Forum troll, "Baby Jane" was it? vAnyone know who was behind that alias?

I also heard recently that Barry Martin is still in the poker business, too, involved with a club in Hove, I heard.

Yep, I think I had 10% rakeback through Jim. Things moved on fairly quickly, but he was the primary rakeback operator over here for a while.

Colchester Kev?

Yes I know why he isn't here, but anyone keep in touch and know how he is doing?

[Laxie]

Hows Boldie getting on these days after all that happened? Anyone hear from him or his missus?

It's been a long slog, but they're well.  He took a physical trainer course and found a new job, starting at the ground level with hopes of working his way up.  He has nothing to do with gambling in any form since and even struggled to keep in touch with the few of us initially for fear he'd get the bug back.  So far so good.

Colchester Kev?

Got him on my fb. Think he bus driving still, recovered and lost LOADS of weight.  His mental heallth recovery has opened a few doors for him...he was advising Eastenders on a storyline a while back. Plus a few other bits n bibs from what I can gather.

Kev's been doing great over the last couple of years. No bus driving (as far as I know!) but he has done loads of voluntary and charity work including helping out on the SOS bus in Colchester which helps ease the strain on the emergency services on busy nights in the town centre by providing help to drunk and/or injured people. He's also done loads of work for time to change and the samaritans, raising awareness of mental health issues, including, as above, being the script advisor for the ian beale breakdown storyline on eastenders, speaking at events and in the media, and taking part in public awareness campaigns out and about. Has a day job working with adults with learning difficulties. Fantastic turnaround for him
