Sunday Night Live with Rich and The Raiser ****official show thread****

RICHORFORDRICHORFORD
edited April 2011 in Poker Chat
Stone me, it’s another super-soaraway scorching Sunday here on Sky Poker.

(Ah, you can’t beat a spot of alliteration to get things cracking).

A tasty show beckons tonight then, with several selling points:


(1)    El Primo!!!! Yes, Sky Poker’s flagship tourney sets sail once more with £12.5K GTD in the kitty and a title worth winning for maximum kudos throughout the next week on the site.


(2)    It’s another semi-final in the Viva Las Vegas comp.  Kicking off at 9pm, one in ten players will win a seat in the biggest game of them all here on skypoker.com.


and (3)    THREE new member of Team Sky Poker will be announced tonight as we follow the crunch qualifiers in MTTS, STTS and Cash.

Lots of crucial action then this evening, and at the helm will be Ian Frazer, aided and abetted by myself.

Here’s a photo I dug up of Ian from the net this afternoon. Now, I don’t know whether this was a publicity shot manufactured for a poker event, or just a typical Saturday night out for The Raiser, but either way- it’s pretty impressive…






I then dug out the closest thing I could find to that picture. featuring me…




Not quite the same is it?

Ian is still very much the newboy here at Sky Poker, so he’d greatly appreciate your welcoming comments and general input to the show. Any questions, hands you’d like him to analyse, and general tomfoolery will be gladly received on this thread.

Tonight’s hot topic:


Nostalgia night!



Yes, it doesn’t matter whether you’re 18 or 80. Tell us something you remember from your past days that you now think sounds rather quaint.

Here’s a few from me:

I remember when you went out to play after school from 4 till 6 and your mum had absolutely no idea where you where. (Usually mucking around near the canal or the train track, by the way).

I remember when there were only 3  TV channels in Britain and when films at the cinema had intervals halfway through and  short 10 minute films were shown before the main feature.

I also remember when Crème Eggs were 10p. Bought one today…55p!!!!!! Flaming liberty!


You get the idea. It might help if you give us your general age as well.

We’ll read as many out as many we can and there’ll be a TSP Classic entry to the one we like best.

I think that covers it for now :)

Good luck in the games tonight and see you at 9!

    Weird- don't remember that one. We're a similar age though. Do you remember being taught road safety by Tufty the squirrel in The Tufty Club?

    Hi guys - have a good show.

    I'm 31, and as an avid football fan, I remember the days when the only way to check the latest scores was on teletext, and you always used to have to wait for the page with your team on to come round again, as it always seemed like you had just missed it....in actual fact this was as recent as the late 90's, but it seems like a lifetime ago.

    General idea of my age  = OLD !

    Saw my granddaughter today sat on her 1st trike, she is less than 12 months old.  This reminded me of my 1st trike, which I got when I was just 5 years old.  Why I remember I don't know because it is 58 years ago, and at my age I struggle to remember what happened last week!  I loved that trike, it had no brakes (you need to peddle backwards in reality).  My 1st go, I sat on it, my brother (age 11) right beside me giving instructions, which I obviously ignored.  I put my feet up and, low and behold, the trike with me on it sets off down the steep drive, a quick left onto a steep road going down nicely and picking up speed.  I could hear my brother shouting as he ran after me as fast as he could.  Only 100 yards to go when the road I was on joined with a major road.  I was oblivious, but as I reached the bottom I, somehow, managed a left hand 90 degree turn and quickly came to a standstill as a car went speedily past in opposite direction.  Perhaps as well I didn't go straight on.  As my Mother joined my brother (she could run fast too!), I didn't know what they were fussing about really, I was obviously always in control!

    Met Ian in Luton, in Turbo tournie (same table) on day of SPT - great guy.  Have a good show.

    i not mentioning my age either but when i was little you only got 4 fruit salads for the old penny.  But, when i was a kid some of the best fun was making a cart out of a plank of wood, wooden box and pram wheels. the telly not only had only 3 channels but it was not on all the time.  And at the end of the days programs they played the national anthem.  Not everyone had a telephone but some people had a party line so you could listen to other peopls conversations.

    I'm 21-ish, and I remember going to the corner shop down the road, aged 8/9 with a note from my Dad to the shopkeeper asking him to sell me an ounce of Old Holburn tobacco, and the shopkeeper would do just that.  I also remember being able to get a big bag full of 1/2penny chews with the 30p Dad would give me for going.

    I also remember having to sit next to the radio-cassette player, on a Sunday night, to tape the Top 40.....trying to cut out all the chat and adverts was almost impossible.

    I am 29 ish *cough splutter * and remember them school days where £1 dinner money used to get you a bag of chips, 10 B&H and a box of matches, and change for a Texan bar on the way home. You could also go round anybodies house through their unlocked back door and meet your mates and go and play on building sights.....

    I think we can deduce from this post that you're not actually 21ish.

    I remember going to school with a bag full of marbles and a pile of football stickers ready to swap at break times. I also remember buying those massive gob stoppers for about 2p that would last you half a day.  I also remember everybody wearing Parkers with the bright orange lining and furry hoods.

    We also had proper bags back then, none of these girly man bags.

    Head bags were the in thing, they were the same size as us, with the end compartment that would detach and the lockable zips so nobody would steal our pencil cases that had our stationary sets which would include those multi pens with the different colour inks in them, pencil, sharpener, rubber, ruler, compass, protractor and a right angle.
