Oh come on Anna you watch UFC you surely must have heard Rogan commentating fighters punches being telegraphed "Look how tired he is Mike, his shots are really telegraphed now"

Telegraph is a term often used in football when they say that a player telegraphed the pass when an opponent intercepts it implying that the passer of the ball made it readable before he made the pass.

Ross is bang on Anna you just do not listen all that often but that's ok, nor do I, hence my lack of participation in the 2nd worst competition in sky poker tv history, seem to remember Orford doing much worse though

I have been forced to get out of bed by this telegraph/telegram debacle.

The typical use of the term "Telegraph" is to refer to the morse-code using system for delivery of short messages via an electical signal over a wire. The term "telegram" refers to the actual message itself. (Essentially, they're the same thing in common usage)

Now, it should also be said that the term "telegraph" is not limited to this medium. Instead it simply refers to a method of transmitting a message without it being physically carried from one place to another by courier. The "Tele" section of the word merely refers to the fact that it's being transmitted over a distance - Television, Telephone, etc.

So in fact, any method for transmitting information over a distance can be called a telegraph - Traffic lights, smoke signals.

Now don't make me get out of bed again. I'm very grumpy when I'm tired.

Hi guys

Ross I folded the K10 as you had just shown my push with a flush draw (to make him fold) on the flop in a previous hand & thought i would be called light if they were watching this programme.

And from my exit hand that did happen......but it doesn't always work out how you planned

sigh

BorinLoner

You describe it!

We provide it!

That was the worst competition on this show. Anyone remember that and care to explain it? I want to go to bed

Janana

It was a You Say We Pay style one but the delay in picture to the viewer describing the picture made it an absolute shambles

The difference between a telegram & a telegraph is about as interesting as the difference between cement and concrete.

Anyway, it is an excuse to post a photo of a "telegram boy".

Looks like that was taken in the 1930s...

Is that you, Tikay?

It may be the 30's but it still can't be Tikay it's a young bloke
