Thanks to Sky Poker & the Poker Gods, with a great helping of support from the Sky community, July 2010 was my 15 mins of fame. The 10 -1 outsider of the Viva Las Vegas team, the "eye candy" for Tikay, I binked and sidestepped my way to day 5 of the Main Event. I was the best finishing European woman and outlasted 7,000 other players, BUT I was still NOT the best Sky Poker regular still in the event. Yes that fresh faced "boy" sat next to you grinded his way into the top 25, and nearly got as much TV time as me lol.
It's only with hindsight you appreciate things as "epic" as the WSOP main event surely is, but it would have been complete if you had been there to share it with us; so this year maybe Rich?

In the early 80's whilst serving in the Royal Navy , we were on patrol in the Persian gulf during the Iran/Iraq war.
We had a BBC film crew on board doing a piece about how our boys were protecting the merchant shipping through the Straits of Hormuz.
Our Executive Officer , in his infinite wisdom, decided to demonstrate how we would react to an incoming missile (he didn't tell us he was going to do it!!)
So at 3am in the morning the General Alarm was sounded with the news that a missile was heading our way (squeaky bottom time).
We all rushed to our Action Stations and i was was filmed manning a 20mm cannon on the upper deck (totally ineffective against a missile!).
Anyway we were all stood down after 15 mins , to our relief.
The film clip ended up on the 10 O'Clock news :-)
Not quite 15 mins but my family saw me :-)
Suffice to say the XO wasn't the most popular guy for the rest of the trip !
In fact, I think I've said this before cos I have a vague memory of you reading it out Rich but always good for a laugh. Basically we had a camera loaned from ITV to film a house party so they could discuss teenage binge drinking etc.
Might actually be trying to satellite for the Primo for once tonight so keep a window open for the Anaylse My Play
Anyone else want to have a whole hour of TV dedicated to them tonight from 8?
If you're in the Primo then let us know!
can´t compete against this lot
sigh
oh to be an over-achiever...........
my 15 mins of fame:
played darts on sky sports back in 2003,was only on about 15 mins aswell as got beat 5-1 lol,got the dreaded dartitis after that and had to give up(gutted).still play to super league and county level but not to the standard i was:-(
Could you give a shout out to Woogie8688 (Mike) as he hasn't been seen around for a while and we're all hoping he comes back soon.
Cheers

My first was on the tv show, The Krypton Factor. I won two shows and reached the Grand Final. I was featured on the front page of my local newspaper and for several months I was viewed like a celebrity. Because I was on three shows over a three month period, it was more than 15 minutes & I had to do a live interview on local radio on Boxing Day just before the Grand Final was shown on TV.
My biggest 15 minutes of fame (at least for me financially) was winning £50,000 on the TV show, The Chair with John McEnroe. No-one seems to remember it now (it was in 2002) but it was a bit like Millionaire except that you lost your money if you heart rate went up. Certainly it paid for a new car (£10k), set of windows (£15k) and my wife's shoe collection (£25k).
I have been on several other Tv shows including Winner Takes All, 15 to 1, The Other Half & Pointless but maybe if I was on SKY Poker (hint hint) that would top the lot. Maybe I need to win the Jackpot to get on the show!
Like Geldy I can't compete with this. However, I was in the audience of the old chatshow Tricia back in the day. I managed to get on the telly by sticking my hand up and asking the people who were on the show a question....but this does not even come close to competing with a Krypton Factor grand finalist!
Have a great tonight guys
As for the footy, I was there, total rubdown from orfaldo!!!!
