The *official* "whatever happened to?" thread

[tikay]

Think I'm losing it, but never heard of Axxeman? Feel this is a NYE whooshing session

He was quality entertainment.

But not in the way he imagined he would be.

Has he got a new alias here?

from 0800s posts he seemed to have an interest in women's tennis.

Is MereNovice's real identity Greg Winters?

Or maybe it is Hector?

Can't be Mere, he greatly admires, in many ways, the various attributes of female tennis players. Greg was slightly less enthusiastic about them.

Hector? I can barely imagine anyone less likely to be rude to anyone, or create a duplicate alias.

Go on then, you've stumped us.

Who was Mr Winters refering to in that post?

And you still haven't divulged why he hated blondepoker.

The "waste of space" to whom he referred was......

Who is it? I can only see his nose.

WTF? Why on earth?

Inflicted a bad beat on him after 3 betting with 85s and thereafter was a deadly enemy?

Was there a post from Alex which led to this retribution? Or an unexpected attack?

This is funny, when you consider what the market now decides is a good structure for a £50BI:

The blinds start at the usual 25/50 but they have given us - rather generously I feel - 3000 chips for our buy in. This could be a long night.

That TR is amazing, even features The Camel. Good spot! And yes that would deffo be a Deepstack in 2003

I've no idea really, but given one thing & another, I believe it to be so.

I don't think he singled blonde out for his distaste - he was one of those people who disliked, passionately, many things & people. He's not alone there, not by any means, it's the sort of society we live in now, especially via the internet. We have current, & very active Members here who have a default of "hate/dislike" almost everything & everyone, it is just the way they are. Some of us are haters, some of us are lovers.

You mentioned jealousy earlier. Jealous of what, exactly? Paying good money to keep blonde open, & receiving more moany woany PM's, Texts & e-Mails because of that than enough is not exactly something most would enjoy. I have an illogical & expensive affection for blonde, not sure why, and it has, at times, given me immense pleasure & satisfaction, but at a hefty cost. There'd be no rush to assume the responsibilities.

Sure, he was not best pleased that he never got the gig at Sky Poker, but that was a less likely fit than that glove in the O J Simpson trial, they are just not compatible, Sky Poker is a very odd place to work, & Greg would not have been willing to "conform" to the Corporate culture there.

There had been a bit of a long running saga of little "digs" at Alex, so presumably there was some animosity there somewhere. I don't really know why, but I suspect it was a class thing, Alex is well bred & all that, "establishment". Personally, I admire few poker players more than Alex, & I'm not in the least fussed that he had a good start in life, & the old silver spoon thing. Some folks dislike posh peeps because they are posh.   

The Post that caused Greg's rejoinder?

It was this one, by young Alex, which I'm sure employed a "turn of phrase" to coin a turn of phrase....


"After the huge Vegas night out, bowl amount of sleep, 10 hour flight, another bowl amount of sleep - I was falling asleep at the wheel on the way back to Nottingham. It was 11pm when I got in and I was ready to crash.

So I hopped in the shower and drove straight to Alea"

It's entirely possible that the word "crash" was misinterpreted - it could mean sleep, or, literally, crash.

Just struck me as a semi-whimsical post which was misinterpreted. I'm pretty sure it would not have been said to his face, man to man, as it were.

You have a great life Tony. You moan a little bit now and again, but I'm sure you love it.

Of all the people who ever appeared on TV talking about, joking about or analysing about poker, you have proved to be the best and now you are the Daddy.

I'm sure you get bundles from Sky for your job and you deserve every penny. There isn't enough money in the world they could pay me to do what you do.

But many of the people who aren't as good as you at your job will be jealous of your success.

Unfortunately that goes with the territory.

Now I'm off to a NY Eve party I don't really want to go to. But you have to do stuff you don't want to sometimes.

So, Happy New Year everybody. Play nice.

I certainly agree with that (enbolded), & I'm grateful for it every single day.

I do have a chunter now & then - my age, my aches & pains don't help, & rude people "abusing" the free facilities of blonde certainly make me cross - but I've had a wonderful life. There's a skeleton or two in the cupboard though, for sure.

I honestly don't understand all the jealousy & hate in the world these days. You read some of the blonde Football Club threads lately? Dislike someone (e.g, Pardew) because you think they do a bad job? How can that ever make sense? Doing a (arguably) bad job does not make someone a bad person, or a candidate for derision.

[Marky147]

We all like a chunter, now and again... It's good to get rid of some hot air, and helps to calm the mood
