We had a couple of these tpyes at my old club and very quickly other members refused to play them at anything, including Snap!

Trouble with that lard-arse is that mummy never ever said no...

If I'd have been his opponent he'd have been snouted after the first barrage of insults. What an oxygen thief

I'm always a bit suspicious when there's a video camera right there to record daft events. Are we sure he wasn't trying to get on "You've been framed"?  :d

Was he the inspiration for Eric Cartman (?) perhaps ?

I don't think so - the filinmg starts with another game in progress and moves to fat whingy git when he starts mouthing off.

Nosher, I agree a punch in the nose would be good (for us!), but I doubt it would achieve much in the long term...

A pro player? There was that much money in the game? Excuse me, I have to go and train for the next Ludo tournament.  =)

I know nuts, but he really did well at it. His world ranking was so high that they used to pay him to go to tournaments, travel and accomodation included and this was to US and Europe. He became a minor celebrity locally, doesn't take much in Shropshire though  :)

Amazing how subjective these things can be.
