This Week.

Mr P, good evening you should have joined the fun on the QT topic

Good evening, Mr B. :)

I've only just got home from playing poker, sir.

you are excused then; any luck?

Livingstone exemplifies everything that is rotten about the Labour party, indoctrination and dogma. Reminded me of anxious.

Ken put sa tie on just for anxious

I won £10, Mr B. :)

It felt like a decent win as I was over £100 down at one stage.

a fitting comeback Mr P. I just play for fun these days, but there are occasions when i want to break free and bet a fiver!

Very wise, Mr B.

Many years ago I played in a kitchen table game twice a week where there was always well over £10,000 on offer. I think my best night was plus £4,000, and my worst about minus £3,000. That game lasted for six or seven years and then gradually folded after the regular host became ill.

I've also played in some truly huge games elsewhere in my time. Today however, like your good self, it's very much the low stakes just for fun.

i got hit hard once Mr P having lost a hand with a Royal Flush

You mean somebody else had the Royal Flush, sir? Or were you playing something that involved a wild card?

Stupid woman on This Week just called Nigel Farage an ex Nazi.

When Andrew Neil pointed out that Farage was not, in fact, an ex Nazi, her shameless reply was "oh, okay, I rewind on that."

thick skin

no we both had them and were playing under the adage of Heart clubs etc

Who on earth thought it was a good idea to let livingstone grapple with Andrew Neil with such a flimsy grasp of facts.it was like slinging a baby into a lions cage.neil eased off,then Alan Johnson gave him a good kicking.

An ex Nazi. Why do they allow these illformed 1diots on.

That sounds extremely dodgy, Mr B. I would suggest that you were almost certainly the victim of foul play, sir.

he should sue her for that

don't say that Mr P. i felt bad enough at the time

I agree, Mr B. It would teach the other idiots a valuable lesson. I wonder who would be liable: her, the BBC or both?

Actually the more I see of Alan Johnson the more I think what a loss he’s been to the Labour Party.if he was the leader instead of corbyn they’d be a shoo in for govt.

Well, Mr B, presumably you were playing one of the older variants of poker as the popular games today like NLHE or PLO cannot feature two royal flushes together. And when playing something like Five-Card Draw the odds of matching royal flushes are astronomical.

I'm sorry, dear chap, but I think you must have been cheated. Did you not harbour any suspicions at the time, sir?

I lost twice on here in the space of 2 weeks with quad 6s Bap.
First was to a rivered 6d giving the OP a straight flush.
The 2nd was worse. I had 66 on a K66 flop. OP had AK and pushed.
Happt days I thought until a K on the turn and river.
Both were in decent mtts and near the bubble.
I gave up playing for about 6 months.

Johnson never wanted the gig or he would have been chosen. I don't think there is much doubt about that, Barrowboy

it was 7 card stud sir

Betfair hosted a big forum game about ten years ago, all the regulars played. I was eliminated after flopping a straight flush. :(

4 showing and 3 hid

bad beats them Mr Bula

Well, sir, SCS naturally has a better chance of that scenario happening. I still don't buy it though, dear fellow. The odds are still massive and that whole 'hearts beating spades' rule is highly dubious in my view.

I think you were set up, sir. :(

Actually, now I come to think of it, 7CS is even more unlikely than 5CD. :(

Were you not suspicious at the time, sir?

I'm reasonably certain that you were the victim of cold-decking, Mr B. A pre-prepared pack was introduced before the hand was dealt. :(

I stand to be corrected on this, but...

Odds of making a royal flush in Seven Card Stud = something in the region of thirty thousand to one.

Odds of two players both making a royal flush in the same hand = several hundred million to one.

Odds of two players both making a royal flush after erroneously stating that hearts beat the other three suits should this monumentally unlikely event occur = somebody is cheating. :(

It is an outcome you'd never think of and for it to be brought up would make me suspicious.

Odds of the player who made the 'winning' royal flush being the same player who made up the 'hearts win' rule beforehand = a stone cold certainty. :(

I feel Mr B's pain. This sort of cheating used to happen a lot in the old days. It was especially prevalent in Brag schools.

sorry Mr P,i was summoned. No it never occurred to me that skullduggery had happened; i was 22 or 23 & knew everything i was just shocked at losing & even more shocked when i never got half!

Ken livingstone should choose his shows more carefully.there are plenty of bbc politic shows where the rubbish he was spouting last night would have gone unchallenged & most viewers would have gone away believing it to be true.

When Neil totally retires it'll be a very sad day for Journalism. With the BBC now he'll be replaced by a transgender person from a minority who is incapable of doing their job but ticks as many boxes as possible and is 100% BBC bias compatible. "This Week, with Nishine Kumar. Now stand comrades for the theme tune: The EU Anthem mashed up with The Red Flag rapped in a range of foreign languages". Ze should try and get a disability as well, up zis chances.

I've only just seen the singer , why these two bob celebrities think they can go on there and not be exposed as empty vessels is beyond me.

Absolute waste of space,actually Neil probably saved her from an expensive law suit.

I was off doing something else, I've heard some moron came on and said Farage was a "confessed ex-nazi". Oh dear just saw 10 seconds of the interview "people didn't know what they were voting for".  Imagine being lectured by someone that stupid!

I see they have an album out, a huge risk for a few extra sales.

whilst your all lauding Andrew neil I hope you all listened to his most important comment of the night effecting us and Brexit,when he told mcvey I DONT THINK WTO RULES REGARDING A4 MEANS WHAT YOUTHINKIT MEANS
cue all the brexiteers, no deal no problem people coming on here saying Andrew neil has immediately become a fool and doesn't no what he,s talking about,
its amazing how clever ,brilliant people are viewed when they agree with you, but the same people considered absolute loons second later when they disagree with you

daily express has become unreadable because of their million articles  with the words brilliant idea.brilliant point,brilliant put down, brilliant fact blah,blah with anything that agrees with their Brexit point of view,its made the sun look like the times,pathetic
havnt looked online today yet but I,d bet a lot they've got a headline saying
brilliant point made by  bloke on QT last night regards we,ll get oranges from somewhere

neil demolished the wto no dealer last week in same manner, but didnt take foot off his neck.

not really sure what purpose it serves on a late night night programme to see him surrounded
by stooges week after week

yes but hardline no deal no problem posters on here thought he was and still is wrong about his reading of wto A24 RULES, but because they dislike labour,livingstone take everything neil said about venezula as a FACT ,don't doubt it foir a nano second but think he,s a complete loon regards understanding wto,even though he,s a renowned economist journo and one of the very view to predict 2008 meltdown

99% of people are stooges conpared to Neil. Just because he is so good at his job shouldn't be a reason to ditch the show. Everyone else needs to up their game. That woman last night was an absolute disgrace, I hope Farage sues her and the BBC.

Straw man argument from 1st Time Poster. Inventing something which wasn't said, and then taking offence over his own imagination. Typical lefty trait.

what wasn't said
neil says to mcvey
don't think wto A24 MEANS WHAT YOU THINK IT MEANS

Definitely a stitch up re the poker story!

Did you ever see the cheat again?

I fought it was BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT  especially the 'ex nazi' quote - but typical of that sort - will there be a backlash(a very trendy word to use)  - or will it be excused coz it has an empty head - she is only a singer  ho hahaha  oh we laughed round our dinner table in islington  - what  wonderful japes !!!  would be interesting if it was someone else calling someone names

one of little khan's 900 elves would be round there like a shot

I know, but nobody on here is upset about it, that's just in your head. Neil was probably right.

My reply was to 1TP, not moisok.

1stTP who on here has had a go at AN?
You've condemning something that hasn't happened.

The left do a roaring trade in straw men, Aka. Invent something that hasn't happened and then take offence.

lefties blah blah blah

Blah blah blah the truth blah blah blah.

Fixed that for you.

Steady on there la blah

Did you watch the programme, Anxious?

I do find the Daily Express funny in the "news story" lists as they use CAPS in pretty much every clickbait headline, one word only though.

I.e.

"Watch as Just Checking DESTROYS Terry Tin Foils argument that jewish lizards under his bed are responsible for mind altering Super-Hemorrhoids".

what this week ?

Examples today:
"Jacob Rees-Mogg reveals REAL reason behind his Brexit compromise – 'Enormous opportunity'"
"May's Brexit negotiations SCUPPERED by journalist"
"Andrew Neil humiliates 'foolish' Ken Livingstone in 'painful CAR CRASH interview'"
:)

Rees fogg has he moved his dough to Ireland

Spotty breaks down IN TEARS as someone beats him to opening a QT thread.

Can cats cry? I suppose they can ... if they are feline bad enough.

No anxious but his company does have an office there as well as others places throughout the world.
Jeremy wrongly accused him in parliament btw.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wzy0wQQkr3g

rees fogg and the rest of the free market fanatics same old song

trickle down every time

Jeremy got it wrong again
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkCV40Ve0ZM

What same old song anxious? Is it 'Theres no fool like a lefty fool'?

dont come the crap akabula defending the toffs like rees fogg

I was defending Jacob Rees-Mogg from the lies.

if they are feline bad enough
Very good JC, made me laugh.

A studend made a point about graduating with £50k of debt.
He asked Jacob "I know your son is graduating from Cambridge soon, how much debt will he have"
Jacobs oldest son is only 10.

Keep defending the likes of rees fog and the queens 11 akabula

The second question and JRMs answer.
Class and Brains against Potted Meat.

You can always tell when anxious is losing an argument.

Jacobs oldest son is only 10

What you talking about Mouse?
Surely all 10 year olds are like this!

You can always tell when anxious is losing an argument. Laugh"

I think the rule for that is "is anxious arguing with someone?".

DISMANTLES ... STUPID

lol ive lost no fooking argument against the spiv fans

Good job no one has noticed you've avoided mention of the idiotic performance from Red Ken.

West Yorkshire resistance front arrives

TBF you have to hand it to anxious he is a past master at avoiding questions.
Can you imagine him on Mastermind? Sorry but I can't accept spiv tory fanboy, the answer is Lord Sugar.
