Who remembers "the originals"?

I also joined the 2nd week i remember myself and Don Logan locking horns a few times, the one player i remember most of all was Toonoo he or she just disappeared after dominating the 25p/50p cash tables for about 18 months. Anyone remember Jonny Gould? Think he was one of the first analysts on the show. Oh and Carlo CItrone with the permanent tan!

Johnny Gould! Top bloke, incredibly professional. I worked with him on some other Shows, pre Sky Poker, too. These days he makes a living in a most origional way. He is an Auctioneer at Charity Auctions, Functions, & such like. And he's so good at it, he can double or treble the amount raised, simply by his persausive "style". And for that, he gets paid up to £2,000 a gig. MBN!

Carlo? I still bump into Carlo from time to time. He's some character, & I like him a lot. He's a bit too "flash" for some, wears a lot of bling & stuff, but it adds to his attraction, in a way. He wears very expensive, & quite beautiful, clothes, too.

He always wears a decent Rolex, a £28,000 job. I was sat at a Table with him in a Tourney in Ireland, & some bloke was bit edgy towards Carlo, clearly jealous. "Wearing  Rolerx like that, you flash so & so, you'll get mugged & it'll be stolen one day, what will you do then?" says Mr Mardy Bum.

Quick as a flash, Carlo replies "I'd have to wear my spare Rolex".

1-0.

This thread will get me all tearful and emotional.............. Started playing late Feb 07...........some old guy over at Blonde Poker mentioned SkyPoker one or twice (every day....) Some of the  players I remember from earlier on, al873kill, Sharksbite, Repossess, No Deal, OCDPOKER, SIMUK, Elnino, bogus1, cottlad. (My memories not great so some of these may have come a bit later on). Open used to get 300 - 350 players when I first played. Must've been easy then, cos even I managed to have a couple of decent tourney results ;o).

Lol!

As many of you know, & as Neil (Jakally) suggests, I have "another place", I own 25% of it, & I spend as much time over there as I am able. (Not much these days, due to time-constraints here at Sky Poker).

I keep a Diary there, which has had a third of a million views, & as it's a personal Diary, I tend to mention Sky Poker quite a bit......

Well, I clearly overdid it a bit. The Moderators over there  - a brilliant bunch (9 of them - I'm one, actually!) - are as hot as hell on Spamming, & don't like me spamming other sites, understandably. But I own a lump of that Site, so can pretty much do as I like, within reason. Very awkward, really. So, I decided to start referring to Sky Poker as "over at the other place", which seemed fair enough to me.

At the end of each year, we have some "joke Awards", Best this, that or the other, similar to what Sky Poker now do, but more humour-based, & set up in such a way that nobody gets embarrassed, & it's not divisive.

In the 2009 Awards, last month, guess who got voted "Spammer of the Year"......?

Oops.

You don't miss a trick, do you?

PS - Respect Rich - I gotta admit, that was good. And I'll be honest - I'm delighted to be back working with a true Pro Presenter on my next Show, indeed, one who went to the last two Tables in a SPT Event.*

* On Thursday, I do the simulcasted Show. With D P Fitzgerald.
