I will find Scotland with great ease.

I'll simply keep driving or flying North until I see the polar lights and a Haggis going in the other direction 

Congratulations must go to Ironside on his incredible generosity....it's going to a very worthy cause.

Anyway If you care to e-mail me by clicking on my name we can arrange a convenient date and time (I can't find your e-mail address from your previous post as I think you have it hidden)

Nice one ironside very generous.

Also well done ActionJack who secured a percentage of Harry in next weeks WPT Comp in Paris. (Nice kilt Jon)

Welcome Harry, I echo ironside's comments, it's a friendly sort of group.

It's fair to point out that some of the best lots in the auction were donated by Mr D and, best of all, when I bought a round he ordered a drink of water. Pleasure to meet you big man.

[RED-DOG]

Ironside, no jokes this time m8, you are the man, kudos!

[tikay]

And a word about Mr D.

I shall be writing a little article about tonights Game4Life bash as soon as I have finished on the Forum, it wll be up later today, & will feature, amongst others, Harry D.

But for now....

I chatted to Harry tonight at length - he is a most generous, respectful & polite Gentleman, & I took a liking to him immediately.

Rather cheekily - some may say rudely - I ever so gently enquired as to whether he might, at some stage, considering becoming a blondeite, & honour us with a few of his very insightful posts. I think I may have said that blonde has many top players as Members, but we would not consider ourselves content until he himself joined & posted. He explained how busy he was. Not often in the UK, & that he has blonde bookmarked, & regularly visits the site to have a look round. He ended by promising to post on our Forum "soon". I actully believed him - he seems a man good to his word.

And within hours, he did.

He's a pretty busy fella. And I'm pretty knocked out by him.

Memo to Self - Add Harry D to list of Poker Heroes.

OH - & most of the "donations" tonight came from the man himself. When I mentioned this to him, he would only hear mention others such as El Blondie, Joe B. Barny, Ross, Ram, Camel, Simon, etc etc.

Top bloke. He plays next week's Paris WPT. We shall be proud that he's a blondeite, we will follow him closely, & we hope he runs well in it.

Yeah, welcome aboard Harry. I've always enjoyed your posts on the 'other' forum. I'm sure you will enjoy posting here in our friendly, flame free enviroment.

an honor to have a player like harry here, one of whom until last years VC cup i knew nothing about, but after you knocked my dad out of the event we soon realized who you was, we even had a bet on you at 10-1 that you would win the final , a great match heads-up vrs ram, i watched the final from start to finish and learnt things just by watching,

Actually if we are going to give some credit to someone then lets give it to all those players who provided me with their signatures/books/signed photos etc etc which I took along last night and some of which have been saved for the poker4charity event in August (sadly I will miss that one as I'm going to be abroad again).

Not a single poker player has refused to supply me with items for charity events such as this and the list includes:

Chris Ferguson, Gus Hansen, Huck Seed, Scotty Nguyen, Greg Raymer, Dan Harrington, Erik Seidel, Phil Helmuth, Daniel Negreanu, Phil Gordon, Layne Flack, Carlos Mortensen, Howard Lederer to name just a few. (There really are too many to list).

The list is endless not to metion the tireless efforts aof Dave and Angie (and Tony himself last night) and then there were all those reps from internet sites whom I along with many others castigate from time to time (Blue Square, 888.com, William Hill and Victor Chandler) and most importantly of all, those that were prepared to buy tickets for the function, raffle tickets and make generous bids for auction items.

I was just a delivery/errand boy and more than happy to be so, but hopefully I can bring back more goodies from my next trip to The USA in a few months time.

Life and poker has been good to me and it is indeed a privelidge and honour to be able to give something back and there are a lot more people beside me who are happy to do the same and more.

No - I'm still known as The Wise Owl it's just I don't really feel like dragging out the Card Protectors except for final tables and their novelty is wearing off a bit these days and there are advantages to not being so easily recognizable.
