    noticed this tournament so thought i would pop in and watch a bit, only 62 players in the 1k GUARANTEED each with a bounty on their head of £16.12 yep you guessed it 62 players times £16.12 is £999.44 you cant advertise a tournament with a guaranteed prize pool and then not pay the full amount can you? i hear you say its only 56p but its still 56p, how do we know this is the first time this has happened?

    Lets break this down,,
    you thought you would pop in and watch a bit? A casual start,
    only62 players in the 1k GUARANTEED. highlighted guaranteed says there is some thing fishy going on!
    a bounty on their head of £16.12,, hey hey, im guessing there is a shortfall here!!?
    yep you guessed it 62 players times £16.12 is £999.44. Wow,, i was right, there was some quick maths done there!
    i hear you say its only 56p. ITS ONLY 56pence!!!!!!!!
    but its still 56p. Jeez i thought it had gone up with inflation, the time it took to type this?
    Well, from all the other replies chels, i think you got the picture, no-one else is worried about 56p, its hardly worth the time spent typing to complain. BUT, thanks anyway, weve had a lot of fun from this and, ive posted my first ever sarcastic/amusing (maybe) post.

    This reminds me of when we owned some shops. I called in to one shop and a staff member was having a heated conversation with a customer. The customer was complaining that the packs of bacon were too large and that we had changed them to try to extort more money from our customers. The member of staff tried to explain that the packs were actually double the size, in fact it was two packs joined together because it was buy one get one free, and that she was getting twice as much for the normal price. After listening to this for a few minutes I took the scissors from behind the counter and cut through the joint in the two packs. I gave one to the customer who paid for it and left the shop with a big smile on her face. I took the other pack home and had a free bacon lunch. You just can't fathom it!

    Elsadog I see you're wearing the special issue Area 51 Ray Protector head-gear. Does it work well?

    This is a beta test on the new bacofoil lined anti-doomswitch headgear. The results so far look promising although I am picking up snippets of Radio2 in the morning. Terry Wogan sounds a bit weird the last couple of days so we may have some reverberation problems. Our biggest challenge is to accommodate mere's ears without compromising the integrity of the headgear.

    Hmm interesting. In that case my protuding brain may also present a problem. I think I'll wait until the beta phase is over.
    Thanks :)

    Lol at this thread and the tongue-in-cheek good-naturedness of the replies.

    I can however, offer an explanation.

    Has anyone seen the movie Superman III?

    Remember when, at the beginning of that film, Richard Pryor took all the decimal point shortfalls off the paycheques of everyone he worked with, backdated them and added them together to become an overnight millionaire?

    Well, I've been collecting all the MTT decimal point penny shortfalls since 2007. 

    I now have enough to buy a Twix.

    Haha, who's laughing now, suckers?

    Aha! i have seen that superman film, and was wondering when someone would own up.
    Just as i thought,, RichOrford is the culprit, i think a boycott of any cash/stt/mtt is in order if he is playing until
    he gets a slapped wrist (at least) from the skypoker gods (or one of the beautiful female presenters), sorry no , my mind wanders when i talk about slapping and spanking,, aaaggghhh shut up major your digging a hole.
    AHEM, anyway, you should be ashamed of yourself Rich.
    Tikay, some harsh words please (for rich, not me, sorry got carried away)

    Guilty as charged, Major. (Major? Am I being court-marshalled here..?)

    Now, where's my punishment?  I know my rights, I demand it!

    I see this game isn't running today, guess they have sacked the person responsible for the 56p shortfall from yesterday and don't want anymore complaints today.
