Ian Fraser

Sorry Booder i didn't see this until now.

He plays cash in Brighton semi regularly, mostly though just enjoying his golf.

Cheers James , are you managing to get  any poker in between the golf and skiing ?

Ha yep, playing live cash mostly these days mate, just waiting for the WSOP

Raymond 'Mondatoo' Norton?

Works for Pads as his stable manager and has done for a couple of years I believe.

I kind of new that, but wondered why we never hear from him on here, or if he still played live etc.

That's a good question.

He last posted here in Mid March, so 9 months ago, but he still seems to log in regularly - in fact he logged in to blonde this morning, at just after 6am.

I'm not aware that he had any upsets or bad blood with anyone here, & he was pretty popular.

Folks just move on I guess.

Shame really, I really liked Ray, & much enjoyed his company.

Here's his now-dormant Diary;

 http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=46739.5460

One of my favourite ever casino moments, although I am not sure if I am remembering it correctly, was watching Ray play Roulette in Gala Nottingham, while Cos translated the numbers he was requesting to the croupier!

Have no recollection of this story whatsoever, bit like most stories of my times in Nottingham though until they're relayed back to me, gg.

Good times Stu, all the best to you and the family.

Hmm, I remember it quite vividly but I think as always we had had a few.

Need verification from the internet policeman himself.

Be good to catch you for a beer again one day.

THIS.

Would be lovely to see a lot of folk from past on here. 

BTW Ray...Reece was only saying tonight that his Xbox 1 was the best ever gift. He is eternally grateful and fills most of his time on it even tho I really try to prize him out of his room.

Both used to operate various poker clubs in the south. Do they still own any?

Been in London last few years playing and sometimes organising PLO games. Announced his retirement from poker end of last year though. I'm sure he'll be back though.
