Shockingly, no Tighty at this event.  He misses an APAT event for the first time since launch in September 2006, due to work committments elsewhere.  Will do my best to keep Missus Redfern amused over the weekend....  ::)

So who are your three tips for the final table?  
Title: Re: Live Update - S6 - English Amateur Championship
Post by: Des on April 03, 2012, 12:37:37 PM
I"ll start the ball rolling:-

- Dean Pearson - to put his awful APAT run behind him.
- John Murray - because that"s what he does.
- Suzanne Hayward - showing some good form online recently.

Since the rejiggle I think the Live Updates are a little well hidden away Des... didnt see this...

anyways...

- Thompson, Ian - As he is the only person to have "TIPS" in his name.. and I love him obviously
- Parker, Bob (2) - As he has 2 chances to get there

and random pick using a copy and paste of the names into
http://classtools.net/education-games-php/fruit_machine (http://classtools.net/education-games-php/fruit_machine)

pressing fruit machine now.... and.....

- Baker, Richard -  ;D - He"s massively due anyway!

See you all Saturday x

My choices for FT are:-

1. Phil Tompkinson as he may have the most interesting hair  :)

2. James Edwards as he"s due one and

3. Dai Llewellyn as it would be great to see a fish make it that far

Good luck to everyone

Ian

I fancy a few players from Yorkshire to go far and don"t know everyone on the list so my 3 picks are

Wayne Parker - yorkshire nits ftw
Donna Bairstow - she"ll last longer than Richard King
Daniel Phillips - [ ] cos he"s due

My Choices for FT are:

Barry McDonald. He"s one of the better MTT regs at G Cov, he won the Online team event for East Midlands last Sunday.

Dean Pearson (will almost certainly bust during level 1, but if he ever gets off to a good start watch out)

Mr Williams (as he is over 2% of the field)



I"d be thrilled if Donna Bairstow or Richard King made the FT but won"t pick them as it"s the kiss of death if I back anyone. Also shocked/honoured that Steve Redfern picked me, he obviously doesn"t know me that well :)

ffs I thought it was the other, not-so-intelligent, not-so-good-looking Daniel Phillips. Dawn said you were playing at DtD.

Tell you what, to make up for it, Dawn can buy you a pint. How"s that?

Although we didn"t have the benefit of the full "Tighty" experience and the forum wouldn"t co-operate, I thought Des did a bang-up job via Facebook.
