    Great link.

    The rumours are that the sitcom he is currently co-writing is a modern take of "Steptoe and Son". Have you been approached about the starring role alongside Orford yet Tikay??

    according to the uxbidge english dictionary ''accomplished" means "finished in an inebriated state"...

    If 10% of people have ever played poker, I'd say Richard is definitely in the top 50% at the game.

    I thought we'd banned trolls on ths site?

    As for your point, let's open the dictionary...
      accomplished
    adjective 1. completed; done; effected: an accomplished fact.2. highly skilled; expert: an accomplished pianist.3. having all the social graces, manners, and other attainments of polite society. 



    If you read the definition then clearly "accomplished poker player" in my biog means definition (1)- I have accomplished (or completed/done) a poker game i.e. I got to the end of it.

    and definition (3) I'm always polite when playing.

    We'll gloss over definition (2).

    I saw Orford the other night on a reallllly old poker show called something like 'Celebrity Poker'. It was basically a SnG and he took it down, beating 'Ricky' from The Office in the HU.

    This was clearly his breakthrough result before going big time
