This page is designed to be a record of whinges, moans and cop-outs
muttered by HighHanders. It's for everybody and can be about any
topic. No one is safe, so I encourage HighHanders to post any allegations
on the banter page so that I can add them
here.
*If you're looking for the recent
disputing of the poker name "Cinderella", that can be
found below.
To deal with the issue of space - which will soon become apparent
- the glass slipper is split into 2 sections: left and right foot:

Whinge |
It
appears that everybody has agreed that this should be
my poker name, even you from the other side of the world
thinks it is funny. |

Often |
Whinge |
I
am on the other hand opposed to the name. Not because
I don't like it, in fact I think it is very amusing
and am very proud of it |

Recently |
Whinge |
The
trouble is that I do not think that it is at all relevant
to my poker playing. |
|
Date |
Frequently |
Whinge |
Although
in normal social circumstances I will proudly agree
that I am always the first into my bed, often long before
midnight, but at the poker table things are quite different. |
|
Date |
Over and over
again |
Whinge |
I
hold, along with Ed Sebline and Tom Harrow, the record
for the longest evening of non-competition poker held
in our year in Edinburgh, |
|
Date |
Habitually |
Whinge |
as
it was not until 7:00 that I got to my bed, and we had
started the game at 9:00 the evening before. |
|
| Date |
Regularly |
| Whinge |
I
admit that during the last term, on the rare occasion
that I did play, I normally stopped by 12:00, but that
was because we were working for our finals. |
|
Date |
Without fail |
Whinge |
Danni
boy on the other hand, gave up the game all together.
|
|
Date |
Constantly |
Whinge |
Ultimately,
I do not think the name will stick because it just is
not relevant enough. |
|
Date |
Like clockwork |
Whinge |
I
have advocated from the beginning that we should not
rush into giving each other poker names until we do
something truly extraordinary or memorable. |
|
Date |
Continually |
Whinge |
Take
'2 kings Charly' (German) who won a final hand of texas
off me, with about £50 in the pot, |
|
Date |
Persistently |
Whinge |
with
2 kings to my 2 Queens, while Tris, who had not had
a break all night, folded after the rivercard, |
|
Date |
Incessantly |
Whinge |
having
put in about a tenner himself, because of Charly's
£8 raise, when he had a full house. |
|
Date |
Unremittingly |
Whinge |
Now
that is name worthy and has duly been established... |
|
Date |
Interminably |
Whinge |
What
I will say though is that my poker name is quite ridiculous
and does not in any way reflect the way in which I play. |
|
Date |
At length |
Whinge |
It
is also a really sh!t pun. Lets face it, Danny came
up with it and everybody knows Danny is about as funny
as a kick in the nads. |
|
Date |
Hourly |
Whinge |
I
have regularly hosted poker games that have gone on
until day break; hardly like Cinderella. |
|
Date |
Endlessly |
Whinge |
Danny
made the mistake of confusing my attitude to parties,
where I freely admit that I used to leave early, normally
with the fittest girl on my arm I might add... |
|
Date |
Zzzzzzz.... |
Whinge |
...
but not poker games, and the whole point of the poker
nick name is that it applies to our poker play. |
|
Date |
... *Snore*
... |
Whinge |
It
also won't last because I do not think it is suitable. |
|
Date |
[brain starts
to leak out of ear] |
Whinge |
I
am hardly going to introduce myself at poker games I
play in in the future with a girls name and you gimps
might not be around to chip in. |
|
Date |
M' m' make
him stop! |
Whinge |
At
least everyone else agrees that their name fits them
well, but I don't. |
|
Date |
aarrrrggghhhhhhh!!! |
Whinge |
in
conclusion Cindy is not funny, not appropriate and won't
last. Shove that in your poxy website and smoke it |

Ug... Uhhhh... |

I
have advocated from the beginning that we should not
rush into giving each other poker names until we do

How Cinderella disputes
his naming:
Joyously, whilst I was busy rebuilding the website, Cinderella
decided to again dispute his poker name. The following comes in
two parts; his latest rant and the original whinge from years ago:
Recent Effort (October '03):
I
will not rise to the bait Pauly, despite your attempts.
What
I will say though is that my poker name is quite ridiculous
and does not in any way reflect the way in which I play. It
is also a really sh!t pun. Lets face it, Danny came up with
it and everybody knows Danny is about as funny as a kick in
the nads. I have regularly hosted poker games that have gone
on until day break; hardly like Cinderella. Danny made the
mistake of confusing my attitude to parties, where I freely
admit that I used to leave early, normally with the fittest
girl on my arm I might add, but not poker games, and the whole
point of the poker nick name is that it applies to our poker
play. It also won't last because I do not think it is suitable.
I am hardly going to introduce myself at poker games I play
in in the future with a girls name and you gimps might not
be around to chip in. At least everyone else agrees that their
name fits them well, but I don't.
So
in conclusion Cindy is not funny, not appropriate and won't
last. Shove that in your poxy website and smoke it

And now for some responses from HighHanders:
Cindy,
Cindy...
I think
you are stuck with it, especially because you have just made
the
classic Kindergarten School Boy error of showing your dislike
for a nickname...
The funniest
thing about this email is that he has given himself the name....Jimmy
"Knave of Hearts" Nuttting...how sweet...did Antonia
suggest it for you ?

Classic. All HighHanders are invited to contribute to this part
of the site. Please feel free to banter
away (including you Cinderella of course!)
Original whinge:
The following transcript is an email I forwarded to the HighHanders
about about 2 years ago. It pains me to make such a huge breach
of privacy yet again by publishing this, but I feel it is in the
interests of all HighHanders (several HighHanders have requested
that it be posted on the site anyway, so who am I to deny them this?).
Sorry James!

He continues on, having calmed down a bit, and starts to
use some punctuation again. And wishes me the best etc. |
Cindy - The HighHanders and I are awed at your diligent work to
cast your poker name in stone! We Salute you!
