PokerStars EPT - Deauville - Day One, Flight One

[tikay]

snippy has not started work yet! He's fiffing & faffing like a faffing thing.

Talking of losing things, I left my Moby in the taxi that took me from Deauville Station to the venue at 10.00 am this morning. I sat & had brekkie with Willie Tann, Stuart Nash, & Mr Gilbert, & realised I had lost my phone. Got a cab back to the station, found the original taxi, & there was my moby, nestling on the back seat. Phew.....

good luck to all blondies, wish i was there but will be following closely from the sofa.

Correction to my earlier Post - it was NOT Stuart Nash I had brekkie with, it was Bambos. It's an age thing.

David Lloyd

Jim Read

Luca Pagano, complete with size 17 canoes.

Greg Raymer

Peter Roche

Ian MacDonald

And I spoke to a bunch of guys who were on the golf coiurse.....Iwan Jones, Marc "Mr Cool" Goodwin, & Monty Burns.

Thewy is doing his nails, apparently.

Jen is here, playing tomorrow I gather, as is Thewy, & Monty Burns.

Hi gang. 

snoops here

We're now stationed on the stage area overlooking the cardroom.

I felt like I was preparing to perform as I ascended the stage stairs. My mummy always said I was a star. 

There should be massive interest for this event. The amount of Brits here is unbelievable, especially considering the long tedious journey. And no RED, I didn't lock my keys in the Eurostar! 

Some names that I've seen lurking around:

John Hewston (or Jim Reid) -- I always mix those two fellas up
Willie Tann
Lawrence Grosney
Craig Wildman (I KNOW IT)
Micky Wernick
Sunday8pm
Luckyblind
Jen (Djinn)
Dubai
Dpommo
Ben Grundy (Milkybarkid)
Ross Boatman
Ram Vaswani
Steve Vladar
Xuyem 'Bad Girl' Pham
Julina 'Yoyo' Thew
Juha Helppi
Keith Hawkins (Camel)
Carlo Citrone

I'll throw out some more when they come to me, but the list is seemingly endless. Also, I haven't confirmed who is playing and on what day. Some fellas such as Craig and Ben have popped down to have a butchers and perhaps lend a hand. Top lads!

Should be a cracking event...

I once put my mobile on top of the cistern in a public loo while I did the necessary, as I stood up I heard an extra plop that I wasn't expecting, forcing me to do some very unpleasant fishing

It was one of the old Motarola "Brick" phones, a quick rub with the Dettol and a blast from the car heater and it was fine

[patman]

When I was a lad, I made the same faux pas with one of those tamagotchi things that you had to feed and nurture.

I pondered for a while before dipping in to a toilet that still held my excrements.

When I got him out, he made a slight whimper and died. Bah! Lose lose situation.

Any1 remember tamagotchis, or was it just me who was geeky enough? 

[tikay]

Great story Red!

Mikky T - I don't knolw if he made it or not, I hope he did, & we will folow his progress if he does play.

And now for some wicked news - I just spoke to Jen, she is on her way down to the venue, she wants to help us out & maybe do a bit of Updating. I don't know if we can fiddle a Press Pass for her, though I just spoke to Conrad Brunner, the PokerStars Big Suit, & he's a big Jen Fan, so I think we will be able to swing it. But if she DOES help out, we must make sure she does not stay until the end, she has a BIG day tomorrow - the biggest day of her poker life.

hi all

good luck all blondes

any sign of dave riverdave penly

[tikay]

We are sort of all scrunged up on the stage, overlooking the Feature Table, with the 25 "ordinary" tables on the floor of what appears to be a ballroom. Big high ceiling, huge windows, though sadly the curtains are closed.

Pics of the scene due soon, snoops has toddled off with the camera to get snapping.

Right behind me, one Greg Raymer is giving his usual round of Media Interviews, patiently & politely as ever. He really is a super guy.

[Milkybarkid]

Marcel Luske
Noah boekan
Patrick Antonius
Isabelle Mercier
