    But that was what got her hooked. Her maiden name of Lynch didn't suit her - Dirty Filthy Lynch.

    Her parents were cruel people.

    Good well so far Stunty....a few Q's, i should have got in earlier all the good ones are gone

    1. What sats are you going to be concentrating on over the coming months, WSOP/EPT/WPT, or are you bothered trying to get into one of these.
    2. How do you manage balancing work/life/family/poker, for me it can be hectic at times obvious family time is priority but do you allow a ceratin amount of time for poker each week.
    3. Final table WSOP event or 1st place in a 1k Irish event.
    4. Have you considered buying property abroad if so where? Do you think Turkey is a sound investment and do you see them entering the euro zone in the next 7-10 years.
    5. WSOP win or a published book (obv a good selling one!!)
    6. How will you react when your Daughter brings home the first boyfriend:pac: no troubles for me all alfa males;)

    Keep posting on your blog, a very good read

    Another fun one for you:

    HU for your roll: Valor v HectorJelly, who plays with your money. EDIT: The other plays for it obv.

    If you've never played with either just make an educated guess.

    QFT. Have you met Reverend Kevin Brew from St Mary's in Howth? I had to collect him from Galway and drive him 90 mins to Clifden for my sister's wedding. Very funny car journey, I was bricking it because I hadn't stepped foot in a church in 10 years, and my only source of income would be a debatable topic... He turned out to be a scatter brained physicist, and had great views on everything.

    no I haven't, I look aroud europe and see housing bubbles in most markets that are being frantically flogged to us Paddies (Spain, Bulgaria, Cape Verde etc). I doubt that Turkey is any different.

    if you can afford it as a holiday home, then go for it but I can think of safer places to invest - off the top of my head, I can remember at least two serious Turkish economic crises

    So what more does he have to do or like everyone else do you just judge him on the merits of two games? Is 35 goals so far this season not enough? Even Lloyd was saying he didn't deserve player of the year last season.

    Also he preforms pretty well for Portugal and has scored a good few against Arsenal and got his first against the usual dross on Easter Sunday there.

    no but most Ministers are total mentalists, it's my opinion that they get shunted into the Church because they're totally unfit to do anything else!

    not wishing to derail this excellent well but Ronaldo might argue his performance for Portugal are THE games. ALso I'm sure Liverpool would love to have him on thier team as would most of the big teams in Europe offering umpteen million for the lad.....the fact the Dumphy or lloyd don't rate him as player of the year shouldn't upset you rasta....think about it:):) also do not discount Fergies dubious tactics in the big European games....(I pull me hair out at times)

    Stunty you are a prolific well writer and win the well award. man ..WP old chap.

    What was the inspiration behind the name El_Stuntman?

    Does Mrs Stuntman read your blog? What about co-workers?

    Do you believe in the following:
    Luck
    Karma,
    God

    If you were to be reborn as someone from any a race of your choice (excluding caucasian), which would you choose and why?

    Would you like to be the worlds supreme ruler? If you could become so in the morning, what would be your first rule?

    What was the inspiration behind the name El_Stuntman?

    I used to play in a home game with a bunch of Aussies who thought I was a mad bluffer. One of them would always ask me was I 'pulling stunts again' when we were heads-up in a big pot. Then I got called Stuntman out of that. We lived in a big apartment in Temple Bar and would pretyt much play poker every day, good times.

    So when I first signed up for an internet account (good old Tribeca), I called myself El Stuntman (don't know where the El bit came from, maybe to make myself sound exotic lol)

    :eek: Shudder.



    I had fun at UCD too but it ruined my development and I was out of the game at the end of it. Playing there is great fun but it runs people from a hockey perspective. In theory it should really help some players because they get to be the focal point of a firsts team where they may be fringe on the firsts / seconds at their own club. But training and preperation is generally shambolic and you see some kids that go backwards over the course of four years. There is a real culture of losing on the pitch there.

    And yeah, anytime I played on an "all weather" pitch was hell. Thankfully there was only a few about when I started playing in 96 or so. I played once on the grass at St Brendans and it was a horrible experience.
    I remember playing hockey on a grass pitch when I was in school!

    Not to derail the thread too much but...
    Dunphy is an idiot who knows nothing about football. Anyone who respects his opinion is crazy. His only good contribution to football punditry was calling Andy Gray a "vegetable" lmao.

    Also great well Glyn.
