This Is Your Chit Chat Life. PUMPHOL.

He has been on every quiz show known to man, apart from University Challenge and Mastermind

His first appearance was so long that he still had hair back then

One of the few Chit Chatters I'd allow to meet my llamas.

The king of the hill.

Is he the one that kicked the prostitute to death or am I mixing him up with redbag again?

Please tell us about your favourite thread you have created on Chit Chat.


Yes the original Yesteryear thread, over 4 years old when resigned to virtual waste bin when hitting over 50,000 posts, many a good song & some bad were exposed on this popular thread as well as racing tips with many big priced winners, sadly the follow up thread could never match the original.

pumphol runs the highly succesful tipping competitions  on major meetings on chit chat
ably assisted by other "darker" shady characters ...

his claim to fame is that in his 5,374 tv quiz show appearances he once reached the second round in one ..
one of chit chatters "good" guys ..
it was a shame to see him falling or brought down so many times in the "Fun Grand National" Quizzes , where he was expected to show prominently --- (if only he could have stayed on his feet and in the races )...

as a chit chatter his overall mark out of 10 is a 9 ...long may he be here.

You're obviously an experienced and dedicated quizzer.  Please tell us about some of the programmes you have appeared on and the prizes you have won over the years, and you're opinion on the current crop of Chit Chat quiz players.

"I like him"  (secret squirrel 2010-2011)

pumphol one of the least opinionated chitchatererers as far as I can see, a credit to the forum, and all round good lad, though i prefer panglima.

Thank you Rob.  Please take a seat over on the left.

proper old school too.

There are certain individuals in this largely eclectic community we frequent that makes the place an even more agreeable place to visit and generally chew the fat about stuff. Our man Pumphol is certainly one of those people

Seems a good egg imho.

I remember Slippers when he was just a pair of socks.

LOL OOTR

Thanks guys

If I write a long list it will look to much like showing off
I will say my first appearance was in 1990 on 15-1 which I was on again 12 years later for a second time.

Have won on a few programmes

Strike It Lucky
Mind The Gap
Panic Attack
King Of The Castle
Other wins without not to much in the way of prizes & quite a few dismal efforts inc
Out first on The Weakest Link
Thrashed by world quiz champion Kevin Ashman on Sale Of The Century to name but a few.
All good fun, how many more I am likely to get on now a balding middle aged man god only knows

you won Panic Attack?




if ever there was a quiz with your name on it

What did you have to do to win strike it lucky? I bet you left with a hot spot

Barrymore asking - top middle or bottom

Pumpy went straight across the middle

There you go Crisp

PUMPHOL.

and you're opinion on the current crop of Chit Chat quiz players.

To many names to mention but the standard on chit chat is nothing short of amazing imo, there are several top class quizzers on here of whom many would give the eggheads a more than decent run for their money, hats of to nibbsey who should win chit chatter of the decade imo for his dedication to make quizzing on here all the more enjoyable.

Sorry to leave but have to go out for a few hours.
I bid you all a very good night.

Cheers pumphol. Your lady friend seemed to get the questions right for you.

Going out for a few hours at 10-30 ?

Are you a burglar ?

One of the funniest threads on here for a while, in fact funnier than a SDK joke

I'm one of the few to have witness the slipper king in action, his wares adorn the feet of many an East End granny, sadly his clientele were a dying breed

so good he could have sold clogs to a dutchman

Deserves a CCBE for services to placepotting

pumpy was very good at the 12 midnight race thingy on here....(who remembers that?)

a true gent

He often types your instead of you're.

he makes a lot of intentional typos ffs

Seats are filling up nicely.  Please feel free to add your comments about our guest of honour - PUMPHOL.

Thread open until Sunday night whereupon he will be presented with the big red book.

In Nibbsys one night he had screen lag, and answered 'Temple Of Artemis' to question 24 while the rest of us were on question 26

I wouldn't mind it was correct & a skinner

PUMPHOL.

Thank you very much for your answers thus far.  We now move on to two subjects upon which the Chit Chat regulars seem keen to know how their favourite forumites stand.

Pumphol, what do you think of the beta forum and its ability to post pictures?

Pumphol, in which order would you do Girls Aloud?

Also Pumphol, if you have a minute, could you let us know what the weather's like in Egypt at the moment?

Keep quiet in the cheap seats, please.

Top bloke is pumpy. I enjoyed giving him the Timeform description of his alter ego a while back.

Double Squiggle on the last post

Its 40 degrees currently in Sharm All Shiekh & 32 degrees in Cairo

Girls Aloud are old hat imo

I am one of the few that still uses the Classic Forum, I am sure the pictures are great & may well tickle the fancy of others but while I have a choice I will be sticking to Classic.

a wet sham fan who takes points from me for no apparent reason

the man is a total cad

+5

Pumpy, sorry I can't be there for the celebrations tonight as I'm currently filming on location in wembley, but congratulations on your award, you are a top forumite. I'll call your mobile tomorrow just before kick off so you can hear us all singing bubbles 

COYI!!

surrounded by east laaandaners

Pumps is a top fellow, and well known for his enthusiastic response to skinners in TMP's quizzes.

I'm certain I saw him on 'The Sale Of The Century' in the mid 70's one day, the quiz of the week hosted by Nicholas Parsons. Only the true dinosaurs on here will remember that show but I'm fairly sure it was Pumps. He bought a garden shed and all the paraphernalia that went with it for £42 which cost him the place in the final round.

bet pumphol only sticks to Classic forum as it reminds him of that old Adrian Gurvitz hit ;)

That said, I've stuck to Classic too.

And pumphol's original Yesteryear thread was a chit chat classic.

Pumphol's a top chit chatter imo, great work with the placepots, etc, and wd for telling us and then putting up with the banter during his TV appearances, especially about that bright orange shirt that was worn so much it ended up beige.

Good judge of a bag of crisps too, altho how he manages to stay so scrawny?

Garden Shed

Squares my fellow crisp connoisseur

Chit chat legend IMHO, if Pumpers were a beer he would be a Special Brew, we even named our cat after him.

In true This Is Your Life tradition we've saved a few blasts from the past to round off the show.

Just need a bit of a tear-jerking moment and we'll be done.

PUMPHOL.

You're obviously a very well liked fellow.  All the forumites listed below have turned out to wish you well on your special evening.

Many thanks Eamonn I mean MM & to everyone who participated

This was a great idea, classic Chit Chat, wish Munch had continued. 

yes great guy - respected in spades

Central plank and general guiding light ofthe Chit Chat Placepot competition and therefore immune from any criticism ever

Well deserved. A good man.

He's a fooking guesser!

But the finest guesser you'll ever meet!

Happy birthday pumphol

Ta guys

Its in March Shane

pumps legend and tireless scorer

Happy birthday pumps.

and nestor

king of the slippers pumps

There are enough survivors clinging to the wreckage to make it worthwhile singing 'Abide With Me'. Pumpy, of course, one of them.

His Snooker knowledge is rubbish, mind.

Snooker ! are you loopy crags

Possibly

https://youtu.be/BliAPzEsao0

I find it difficult to get on the forum nowadays,but i must send my regards to pumphol on the honour of your this is your life thread...A real good egg...his enthusiasm for the supreme placepot competition is fantastic...his overall persona shines through and is a stalwart of the Betfair chit chat forum...A top bloke.

lots of blasts from past in Munch's list

well said huggy

ps: pumphol is occasionally to be found moonlighting on specials forum during reality tv talent shows

Was the only contestant ever whose consolation prize on celebrity squares bounced!

His barnet on Sale Of The Century was luscious.

That's libellous, Squares!

Nice to hear from you Huggy
Sorry I haven't popped in Squares since the opening show, must look in
Mince if I was a celebrity I may have got on there
Roy I miss the lusciousness
Kenbo

You didn't have to be a celebrity to be a contestant on Celebrity Squares

your right
