Tonights thread on the forum regarding tonights show had me thinking about how the election could be translated into a poker hand..I guess It'd go a little something like this. Mr Brown limps under the gun.Mr Cameron re-raises out of the small blind.Mr Clegg is sitting on the big blind and suspects Mr Cameron of bluffing, and makes a call with 45of clubs. The action comes round to Mr Brown, and he thinks his chances are good, and his time for a double up is now. He pushes all in with Jacks. Mr Cameron calls, putting himself all in with AK of Clubs. Mr Clegg short stacked, thinks this is a great chance of a triple up, and decides to make the call with his hand. The flop comes. 9 of Diamonds. 6 of Clubs, 7 of Clubs. Mr Browns hand is still good. barely. Mr Clegg has an open ended straight flush draw, and Mr Cameron has the Ace high floor draw. The turn comes a 8 of hearts.Helping no one, but giving the board a open ended straight draw. The dealer announces the river will not be dealt until the 6th of May. Will the under dog pre flop, Mr Clegg hit his straight flush? Will Mr Browns Jacks hold up? Will Mr Cameron hit an Ace or King, or even his flush? Or maybe, just maybe, a 5 that isnt a club with come, and split the pot..
Evening Tikay and (Balding) Rich, having looked at the thread and sensing the urgency of your request for help through Tikay about hair loss rich, i am sure i've heard the super models and the like, say about using either Guiness to wash your hair and give extra bounce or.....tomato ketchup! for that je ne sais quois. Good luck in your quest and just remember through out time Brucie,Graham Gooch and even Shane Warne have found ways of restoring that natural hair look!!!!!!!!! Dave.
its great to have u two back together. i wouldnot worry about the bald patch rich. my hubby use to get all the jokes about his bald patch,.but he does not let it bother him now the bald patch has completly gone. Or should i say hair gone.
u know what they say rich hair today gone tomorrow.

Reporter (ABC): We are live at the moment, the presenters being interviewed by the ABC, what would you like to say to the presenter?
Lisa-Marie: "I want to know why I was called big-somethinged?"
LM: I'm not saying anything more to him.
ABC Reporter: Are you disappointed?
LM: I am really disappointed.
Skz: Lisa-Marie you came here with very specific concerns about your play, and he responded positively to those, you thought?
LM: It was about the poker points being paid and players, and the bankroll debt.
Skz: But you've just watched that, you've heard the presenters words in the Skz truck? What is your instant reaction to that?
LM: Very upsetting, I'm very upset.
ABC: Did you expect that from him?
LM: No. He's an uneducated person, why has he come up with words like that? He's going to lead this channel and he's calling an outstanding woman who has just come up and asked him questions - what most people would ask him, they're not doing anything about the bankroll debt, it's going to be freeroll, freeroll, freeroll for another 20 years to get out of this bankroll debt - and he's calling me big-somethinged.
Skz: You told me you were a lifelong Orford supporter, then you have a Orfordable tournament registered, will you be playing that?
LM: No.
ABC: You also told me earlier, you said when I asked will he stay your No 1 and you said, hopefully he will.
LM: Well, I'm not bothered whether he does now. I don't think he will.
ABC: Do you think he should meet more players like you?
LM: I'm sure he should go out into the public and find out what's going on with our lives...
(Lisa-Marie takes a call on her mobile phone)
Skz: Let's just - if we can - talk about why you were here in the first place. The presenter has been at great pains this week to try and get out and speak to real players.
LM: Why has he come here to this place? Why didn't he go into Feltham where a lot of people could have spoken to him? In the town centre? Why is he here?(Flurry of reporters' questions) Well, I should think so. Nobody knew he was here, did they? I was walking up the street and the police said the road's cordoned off. Then I saw... I asked the policeman, 'Is Richard Orford here?' And he said, 'Yes, up there.' So I came up to ask him what is he going to do about the bankroll debt.
Skz: And when he responded to you, before he found his car and said what he said I mean, what was your reaction to the way in which he had dealt with your complaints?
LM: Well I thought he was understanding but he wasn't, was he? The way he's come out with those comments in the car.
Skz: What did you think of his character before this event? He's obviously said he's a moral compass, he's honest.
LM: I only met him for two of three or four minutes in that interview. His character on TV? Well, he hasn't really enthralled me with his speeches... but I like Kendall, Tony Kendall.
Skz: Why do you think Richard Orford said what he said?
LM: I don't know. You tell me. You saw me talking to him.
Skz: Is that what you expect of a presenter, a poker presenter?
LM: No. No I don't.
Skz: Before today, what was your view of Richard Orford as a man, as a presenter?
LM: I can't tell you as a man. As a presenter, when he was Spotting the Sausage he did very good things for the country. But now it's just all gone to pot. You've got to sort it out else we'll be playing, your children and grandchildren will be playing for all of this bankroll debt.

1144 BST: Mr Orford wanders round the car park looking for his car.
1305 BST: Mr Orford drives away from the studio - while still wearing his microphone.
Mr Orford: That was a disaster. Should never have put me with that woman, Lisa-Marie I think ... whose idea was that?
Second voice (Tikay, in Orfords head): I don't know, I didn't see her face, she was in the red dress.
Mr Orford: It's Sky_Ling, I think. It's just ridiculous. (Muffled sounds)
Second voice (Tikay, in Orfords head): What did she say?
Mr Orford: Ugh, everything, AJ is the nuts - she's just a sort of big-somethinged woman, said she used to be a Lisa-plop. It's just ridiculous.
