Thursday's live show with James & tikay (***OFFICIAL THREAD***)

edited September 2012 in Poker Chat
The trilogy continues, with...

Episode II: Attack of the Kendall

Yes, Sky Poker is live again at 7pm on 861, and at 10pm on Sky Sports 4 / HD4.

tikay and I will start the show with live coverage of a £600 Gtd Timed Tournament.

At 8pm, it's the Poker Clinic, so please send in your Hand IDs. And, at 9pm, we'll spend sixty minutes reviewing play from the Master Cash tables.

This week's Top of the Pots countdown kicks off at 10pm. Then, at 11pm, expect highlights from the £12k Sky Sports Bounty Hunter.

Have to say, I'm pretty excited about the release of a certain smartphone this Friday. I placed my order within hours of last week's announcement :-) So, let's talk technology...

Which gadget has transformed your life? Alternatively, have you ever invested in a gizmo which became obsolete in less than a year?*

(* I bought TWO MiniDisc players. Can you beat that?!? If so, you might win free entry to next Tuesday's £6k Open!)

    Hi guys,
    enjoy the show. The reason I'm getting in touch is I've just watched a top of the pots replay I recorded this morning. On the show TK  says you don't get any arguments/fighting in crown green bowling. Being a crown green bowler I beg to differ, the Leagues I play in are are forever arguing and occasionally it has come to blows,
    It's funny that I saw this show today as I have just come back from the finals day at the Waterloo in Blackpool which is the Bowling equivalent of Wemberly. lol.

    Ipod for sure, how do they fit the 10,000+ songs in that little thing?

    hi sodall,
    i used to play bowls myself.just stopped playing this Apri in fact,so that i can play 'even more poker'  lol
    i know what you mean as on more than 1 occasion i've felt pretty close to doing it myself,not that i would,of course. ha ha.
    i used to play table tennis and i heard of a fight that happened one night between two players.
    the story goes...
    as it goes they were both called Phil,not sure if there might be any connection there.  lol
    one was ranked higher than the other in the Devon rankings and the other was ranked higher in the National rankings.
    so not being able to agree who was the better player,they fought it out,like true sportsmen.
    both players were in there 50's at the time so i'm guessing it would have been quite funny to watch.
    oh,and the even funnier thing....
    they both played together in the same team, with another player called Phil would you believe!!!  true story. lol

    Hi Mr Dall - I will call you "So" if you don't mind.

    So, So, so you get into barneys at Crown Green Bowls, & come to blows? Or did you mean bowls, now blows?

    All very confusing.

    I'm aware of "Waterloo", in Blackpool of all places, having such eminence in the genteel world of Bowls. Very famous.

    At one time, I thought I'd take up Bowls when I retired, but if there are arguments & stuff, I think I'll swerve it, I'm done with aggro stuff. Fishing is what I shall do when my time is up here, peace & quiet, lovely countryside to admire, a good book to read, & no barneys. Heaven.

    Please James, as show 'boss', could you just read out my attempt at last week's Anna's limerick. I pestered poor Anna as she hadn't read it out during the evening only to find that the email had failed to deliver the next day.
    Please pass on my apologies to Anna....i even pestered her on twitter and feel awful. As it was about her , i thought it was good fun which is what i'm having more and more on the site thanks to Woogie's afternoon league. Great finish last sunday and there were still four possible winners with 8 players left on the final day! Congrats to DTWbandit who eventually won. Cheers...


    ANNA'S LIMERICK:
    There was a presenter in Notts
    Who affected them all with the hots.
    She flitted in and out
    With a "lamp holder" shout
    Until they all ran away with their pots

    Note. Pots as in pint or chip.....

    PS Tikay from evidence i see on the site forum thank you for your input but you are working too hard , you know!

    It may be an urban Myth but I was told a London borough bought a fleet of Sinclair C5's and it proved to be a very worthwhile investment when they were sold

    How about a Betamax video player? :-)

    Gadget that transformed my life - Nasal hair trimmer !!

    I'd like to nominate car anti friction strips as a useless invention.
    Did they actually have any effect?
    Surely James you've travelled behind a car with the two rubber strips bouncing merrily on the tarmac, more often than not, one strip would go missing days after fitting!
    Some boffin made millions charging £10 for two pieces of rubber that were proved later to have insignificant benefit!

    However if they'd attached them to Trev Harris in the presenters challenge and Rich Orford at SPT Brighton. With the excessive speed of their exits who knows what benefits may have been discovered.

    The gadget that is without doubt worth it's weight in gold to an online poker player. Has to be the microwave oven!
    4 minutes to heat up the curry in a structured break leaves a minute to make the coffee on an all night session!

    Yes, my family had a Betamax VCR from 1983-1989! Superior picture and sound quality to VHS. Shame it lost the format war...

    What about a Zune? Anyone willing to admit to buying one of those?

    Hi TiKay,
    of course you can call me SO, most of my mates do. Don't let my post put you off bowling there are loads of great people who play. It was only when I started playing at the highest level that my eyes were opened to what really goes on. lol. 
  • edited September 2012
    without a dought the best gadget i had was my sinclair spectrum 48k plus (i dont think you can run a toothbrush on that sort of memory now) and playing jet set willy i would spend hours trying to load up games with a casette tape only to go through hours of the loading process and putting up with the wavy lines and booooo booooop booooooooooo booooop then an anoying scrambling sound before it crashed and chewed the tape up. (i think there were subliminal messages in it and is why my brain is like it is now.

    How about greatest comeback by a 'gizmo'?

    I was really taken aback or even taken back, when my 11 year old daughter, expressed her excitement at spotting the latest technical innovation in the shops......

    A TEASMADE!!!

    Imagine that, a machine that gets a cup of tea ready, for when you wake up in the morning!
  • edited September 2012
    Hi guys looking forward to the show tonight.  Question for Tikay on wheather he has been following the recent release of the Lederer files and what he thinks about it all?
  • edited September 2012
    Gizzmo thats transformed my life - errr....my hair straighteners? No more curly long hair - i can pull off more conventional male hairstyles?!

    Good luck btw to Ryan and Carlo in the GUKPT today - spotted both as I was grinding out cash.

    Evening Gents,


              Nice to see the elder statesmen of the channel together again:

    What do I miss (well it's still around) because Sue has banned it in our house:



    As well as lots of pyrex dishes we got a few pieces of Tupperware as wedding presents back in the day, and not too many weeks later I arrived home with our flat smelling of acrid smoke. Now some of you will know on most Tupperware it states "heat resistant" well Sue thought that meant you could cook things in it............. It took me hours to cut off the white plastic stalactite hanging from the oven trays.

    lol

    gadget that has change my life is the tv remote control,  i now have complete control of the veiwing because the men are too lazy to get up, and i hide it.

    The other gadget which is obsolete is my buttonere. you cannot het the replacement plastic inserts to attach the buttons back on.

    Hi guys have a great show,

    Am glad to see that Tikay is alive & kicking, having sent him a couple of e-mails recently with regard to the Afternoon League £2.20 @ 2:20, which I am glad to say is getting great support from the community. ( I thought Tikay got on with Technology)  ;-)

    The piece of indispensible piece of technology, I have to agree with Karlluke, I couldn't live without would have to be the remote control , there is something quite satisfying sitting watching tv surrounnded by an array of remote controls.

    The most ridiculous gadget would have to be a Salad spinner!! enough said.

    The gadget that changed my life is an obvious one, but not for the obvious reason.

    My Mobile phone is the best thing that has ever happened, in the histry of happening.

    I hate wearing a wrist watch,  since the mobile has come out I dont have to wear one now.  BRILLIANT

    Good evening fellas,

    Best gadget has to be my most recent purchase... I won't mention brands but it's an electric cigarette, it costs about half as much as real cigarettes, it's a million times healthier, and you can smoke indoors. I havent smoked a real cigarette since I got it (nearly 2 weeks ago) and haven't had a single craving :)

    What could be better than something that saves your life.
