I have had a few "15 minutes of fame." 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! Posted by Ice_Tiger
we have a winner.......
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!

Cheers Rich, I busted the Semi but I'm registered for the Primo now
The first would be from about 8 years ago now. I was interviewed live on BBC News Look North about Paul Gascoigne signing for Boston United!
I was also in the audience and shown on screen for a filming of the Friday Night Project on Channel 4, about 4/5 years ago, when David Hasselhoff guest presented the show.
In Response to Re: Sunday Night Live on Ch 861 and the webstream with Rich and Ryan: the official show thread + competition : This sounds like something a Bond villain might say. Have you been plotting some sort of nefarious scheme, Wilhelm? :P Posted by BorinLoner
I'm usually have a few plots on the go. FYI, Jamie Oliver is at the top of my hit list.

i dont mind you anaylsing my play i could do with sharpening up my game, got some old habits creeping back. Last time ryan critised my game did me the world of good tina
I was the youngest solo female to reach the north pole pole by dog sled,I battled blizzards tempretures of -40
suffered frostbite in my toes lost most of my supplies when I crashed through the ice, lived on dog biscuits and the raw meat meant for the dogs, just as I was insight of my goal________________________________
My biggest 15 minutes of fame was being the mascot for Sheffield Wednesday in 1998 when we happened to be playing Manchester United. This was a few weeks after Paul Di Canio famously pushed the referee when I met Roy Keane, David Beckham and all before we emphatically stuffed them in a fantastic 3-1 victory.
If you're showing mastercash hands later could you show this? I planned to check/raise the flop but when the other guy raises, I thought it would look too strong and didn't want to make both players fold, figured flattign could possibly keep Gooner in too.
ive just recently returned to poker after about 2 month away from the game completely. Nights like tonight tho remind me of what i love about the game ive played satallites today and got into £55 primo for £11 got into £110 bounty hunter for £24 and accidently may be in the £55 turbo bounty hunter for £2 and now i get that buzz of potentially turning a small buyin into a big prize.
Guys I think this was a good fold but did I go wrong on the turn my id is suemab the hand id is #609479159 I flop the world but end up folding did I go wrong tonights primo if you could show it I would appreciate it thanks Sue Posted by suemab
Thank you Richard you may remember me I am Mabsues other half or as TK calls me his sister would like your opinions thank you
Hand request from the 9pm Bounty Hunter, card blockers please. Boring hand until the river, no history with the villain, this is about half an hour in.
Questions for Ryan. Can I raise the huge bet for value? Should I entertain the possibility that I am behind and just flat? Do you like my shove regardless of the result? Please could you do your hand guessing after his bet on the river, many thanks.
