    Correct - it was none other than Sharky!

    The blow of not winning the £10,000 package was a £9,000 cash prize! Not the worst result, really!

    I would love to go in for something like this but i am in two minds of whether to try for it or not mainly because the cricket season starts in 3 weeks following God's REAL county Lancashire and this is hard to say but cricket comes first - Super Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii and believe me the prospect of not seeing the almighty Lancashire pulversise them lot from ove t' pennines (This is without doubt a rivalry that i take a little bit more seriously than Team Tikay vs Team DonkPlop Uno/Dos/Tres in TKO lol!) really would be hard to take lol!.

    Although it is a once in a lifetime package i honestly would love to win but on current form something like this is just going to be a pipe dream. If i do go in for it, live up to my reputation of being a luckbox and do the impossible and win a package, my main worry would be not coming across well on the TV as i'm assuming there will be another documentary covering how the winners get on in Vegas?.

    I have no problems whatsoever doing any sort of interview, I just would not want to come across as boring as i do regard myself as a bit of a perfectionist and not wanting to let anyone down.

    Agreed!! Not like you to be quiet OnlyOne NOISEBOX ;)

    Anyone with enthusiasm and a love of the game comes across well. That's what viewers will see and respond to.

    Not your wonkey tie or 5day stubble ;)

    Congratulations. When did that start - after you jumped ship from Team Plop, I guess??

    Your not my stalker by any chance lol?

    Wonkey ties i don't do - euggggggghhhhhhh, 5 day stubble - megggggga euuuggghh.

    I tell you what i have a little proposition for Tikay and you can make this post legally binding! :)

    If i go in for this, get lucky and win a package after watching on Youtube the previous 2 years of the Viva Las Vegas documentaries which i have to say are a very good watch, i believe there is some sort of carriage train (Bit like the Orient Express i think) that runs through Vegas and the whole of Nevada and if no one offers, i am prepared to take a journey on that train with Tikay and i will let you blind me with all your knowledge on Trains. (Could be the best forty winks of my entire life lol!)

    Good Luck Davey. You have the game - SPT proves that - now get your seat booked to Vegas. The WSOP is exactly the same as an SPT. jut a bit bigger......

    Sigh, it's not a "carriage train", it's a freight train - it is comprised of freight wagons. Lots of them, the longest one I saw last year was 105 freight wagons, hauled by no less than FIVE diesel-elecctric COCO locos.

    If I get the gig - I've not heard yet - but if I do, you are ON!

    Who else would they send? ORFORD? That'll never happen...sending Rich to cover the WSOP would be like sending Hartigan to the World Cup! :-)
