  Retireborn: I'm somewhat surprised to see that Dennis Waterman played in this tournament. He could be so good for you, perhaps.

  perfidious: Dennis was certainly good company; thirty years on, we met for the first time at a table in a pot limit hold'em tournament in Tunica, Mississippi, with Poker HOFer TJ Cloutier sitting between us.

After all three of us busted out, Dennis and I talked a while, inter alia, about his recent visit to the US championship. Pleasant, easygoing guy. Have not seen him in years.

  Retireborn: <perfidious> Well now, I'm not sure if you know that a British actor of that name sang the theme tune for "Minder". You've left me in a state of uncertainty (laughs)

  perfidious: <Retireborn>, I did not know that and am not at all familiar with the actor.

See the kibitzing on Browne vs D Waterman, 1974 for a hilarious tale involving Dennis, which runs very much counter to the soubriquet 'Swami' by which Dennis is known on the poker circuit.

  Retireborn: Oh yes, the woo hoo guy, I remember you mentioning him before (laughs)

The other Waterman was a fairly familiar face on British tv in the 70s and 80s.
