Q&A: (Living Poker Legend…) Mr Padraig Parkinson

Alright alright it’s a few days late but I forgive Padraig so you should too! J A few weeks back I sent a few ‘different’ questions to, Card Player Europe magazine columnist, TV poker commentator, and Irish poker professional Padraig Parkinson.

[De Nero]…Are Yo Lucking AT ME?!!

So I think I’ve unearthed a comical genius…Yes people, my friend from Facebook is back with another cracker of a poker story.

Where’s Wally? He Has Some Explaining to do??!!

I received this text the other day from our resident betting pundit Wally Pyrah…   “…At the Dukes Head in Putney filming for a Sky Sports show…The thunderstorms have flooded the studio area with 5 inches of rain and now walking around with no shoes or socks on and pinstripe trousers rolled up to my [...]

Me, Champagne, and Mick Jagger…(sort of!)

As a ‘bird’ (as Andy likes to say) I actually have a lot of fun doing unconventional ‘bird’ type things. Listen, don’t get me wrong, most afternoons you’ll find me on the Kings Road or in Kensington with my little baby boy (he’s soooo CUTE!) being a typical Italian doing things like having an espresso macchiato [...]

Be My Guest…

Every now and then I’m going to ask some of my friends to post an occasional blog on my site…They maybe a ‘celebrity’, an ‘expert’ in their field, or maybe just average Joe, but whichever they are I’ll damn well make sure their post will be interesting!!   xxx
